A big THANK YOU to our Cruise Organizer, Jane (Rooney & Stuart)

[Dori & Rua]

I just wanted to send a BIG thank you to Jane for ALL of the work she did organizing our FIRST EVER Doodle Cruise sans Doodles, of course).  She spent endless hours....doing too many things even to list here.  Not to mention all of her hospitality in Miami (pre-cruise cocktails and snacks), Bon Voyage drinks always available in our cabin (spiced rum, Baileys, vodka), adorable Doodle Kisses doorhangers, arranging the door decorating contest and all of the prizes she brought (yes, we were the official winners), endless worrying about making sure everyone was enjoying themselves, and of course, her knowledgable messages on cruising (though I still have 100 $1.00 bills and I have been told the Chippendales minimum is now a $5.00 bill).

 

Cheers to my cabinmate...I can't WAIT for the 2nd Annual Doodle Cruise!  Love ya Jane and THANKS!!!!!!!

Jane, I can't even begin to organize a trip like you did. Thank you for all your hard work and even though I didn't go this time, I appreciated having all that information at my fingertips so that I was able to make a decision.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

I know the thanks comes from all that attended but I also want to thank you Jane for thinking about all of us leave behinders that enjoyed the fruits of your labor when you all got back.

And and and, willingness to do it all again for the next big group!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Dori, Do I need to post a picture of my prizes won for the door contest to prove I was the winner? LOL

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Well dear goodness Dori - lol - a wet shirt over my bathing suit - too darn funny.  How come I don't have an orange bikini photo like Laurie? 

You are all welcome - thanks - it really wasn't that much and besides - who had more fun than I did - NOBODY!  I got to meet all of you and gained a cruise boyfriend - Tim. 

There are a few challenges for a 2013 Cruise but it will happen and then in 2014 we will book as an offical Group.  This will get us a private meeting room and some other perks.  So watch for information to book tomorrow for 2013 and then in early 2013 to book for 2014.  Got that? 

Love you guys!!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

YES...thanks, Jane! This was the best vacation we ever had!!

Cheers to Jane!  You worked for the past 14 months to make sure our 1st Doodle-Lovers Cruise was a success, and it clearly was!  It would never had happened without your planning and persistence and I thank you for that! You ROCK, Girlfriend!!

What a pretty picture of Jane!  Having been an event planner of sorts in my previous life (before retirement) I can appreciate all that she went through to get this together for you guys.  I'm surprised she still has all that beautiful hair ...
