Lindsey Stirling Cruisers! 🚢

[tired bough]

It’s raining now in Miami, but according to the weather app it should lighten up later this morning or early afternoon. My hotel is under an approach lane for Miami International Airport and there’s still been flights coming in throughout the night, so hopefully they won’t have cancellations here.

[west cobalt]

We got the travel notice, but our flight AA 2097 still shows as on time 🤞😃

[fleet mist]

Hello!!!

I cant believe it, yall!!! It's all finally happening!!!

[regal vale]

Same here.

Radar still shows rain all day though.

[fleet mist]

That shouldn't mean anything though so. I'd stop worrying about it

Honestly, it's doesn't look that bad and my radar is showing the rain will move out by afternoon. It never rains all day in Florida. That's too rare of an occurrence

[regal vale]

It’s just I’ve waited forever for this trip so my anxiety is Already slightly high because I’m anxious 🙂

[west cobalt]

Yeah, I feel ya. We were also already anxious, and When I got that travel notice email my heart sunk… what flight are you on? Does your actual flight still show on time?

[fleet mist]

I mean. I get it. We've all waited for forever for this. But we all planned as properly as we can! We did everything we could as humans to prepare! A little rain won't be stopping us!

[wooden ocean]

That's right, 100%!! Less than 24 hours and I'll be on my flight down to Miami too. 😖 first time cruise, I'm getting anxious and jittery. Thankfully this is not my first solo flight.

[bright seal]

Morning y'all. Hope all your flights go well!

[rugged crag]

Wooooo! Waiting to board the plane now!

[rugged crag]

Have an awesome time at universal!

[fleet mist]

I'm about to start getting ready for the day

[bright seal]

Gonna try. Going to be a wet one for sure

[tired bough]

I hope everyone has a Blessed day!

[winter tulip]

Safe travels every one

[warm kestrel]

See you soon 👀

[light spruce]

Safe travels everyone! I'm about to start on the 5 hour drive to Miami from Jacksonville, the final leg of my trip! Hope to meet you all soon!

[fleet mist]

See y'all soon! I'm about to start my own journey soon!!!

[rugged crag]

2 hour flight delayed due from the storms bahhhh

[wooden ocean]

So we want to make it offical before we lose the potential to confirm it for the first discord-stirlingite meet up? How about grand pacific main dining? Right after the dancing with the tides. It's "on deck 6" but the entrance looks like you have to go down stairs from deck 7 in AFT underneath the bliss lounge. And it's one of the free so no worries about extra pay for anyone.

[fleet mist]

I'm down for anything that gets us meeting up!!!

I cant believe this is finally happening!!!

[wooden ocean]

First day i have to come in my "We three ships" shirt 😂 so when you see a 6ft3' guy with a backpack tan shirt that'll be me! 😁

[pliant monolith]

At the Baltimore airport waiting to board.

🛬

[fleet mist]

I'm at the New Orleans Airport, about to enjoy some breakfast!

[lusty maple]

View from the rest stop on the way to the airport

[empty flint]

My flights delayed by only a half hour, so nothing major

[fleet mist]

Best view

[frail yarrow]

I am here in Miami, Florida finally!!! I am in the lobby of the Embassy suites hotel. Anyone else also staying here?? I feel like a lost puppy with no familiar faces around.

[fleet mist]

Woohoo!!! I'll be there in a few hours!!!

[frail yarrow]

The room won't even be ready until 1pm. Liv if you get a chance bring food. All I have to eat right now is 2 bites of a biscuit and half a cookie!!!

[fleet mist]

Oh! I won't be in until 1 pm! And I definitely already ate breakfast just in case! And I can definitely try and see if there's anything lunchy around the airport to bring to the hotel for us?

[frail yarrow]

Sure sounds good.

Also my poor suitcase is all scuffed up 😭

We had a bunch of turbulence with the plane I was on. Even when the plane landed we bounced like 7 times and made me wrap each arm around each armrest!!!

[cedar oyster]

Hahaha I wore that during my airport flight 😂

[fleet mist]

I'm about to take off!!!

[bright seal]

Little wet today.

[empty flint]

The plane coming from miami seems to be whats delaying us lol

Looks like i have a pretty full flight too

[empty flint]

Nah looks dry to me 😂

[frail yarrow]

Looks wet to me!!! And I'm here in Miami, Florida.

[empty flint]

Clear and sun lol

[bright seal]

Bring that with you!

[empty flint]

GUESS WHO LEFT THEIR WALLET AT HOME 🤣

I have apple pay and my passport but

Oof

[fleet mist]

Oh no that's a big oof

[empty flint]

Yep

I have what i need for travel but still

Like how did i do that

I cant find it but ill check once i land

Im gonna get my roommate to snap a photo of my id front and back so i have it, but i have my passport

As long as i can use tap to pay, im tood

Good*

I only looked because i wanted to get wifi on the plane

[fleet mist]

Understandable here.

[empty flint]

Ive never done this before wow

I feel dumb

[fleet mist]

Thankfully my google wallet keeps my stuff saved to my phone so it can be used on websites and such too (even one that don't take explicit Google pay)

But. Totally understand. It's never fun when you leave your wallet/cant find it

[empty flint]

I have my cards saved to apple so it is what it is lol

But this is a big dumb move on my part

Lol watch its somewhere within the bag i just checked

Even though i just looked in it

[fleet mist]

I enjoy apple/google wallets so much for this

[empty flint]

I didnt know you can see you card numbers and everything until just now

I dont use it often but im thinking now i should lol

I cannot believe this lol

[regal vale]

I left my credit card at home

[empty flint]

At least it wasnt your whole wallet 😭

Including your license

[fleet mist]

Mine actually doesn't show it (which is why I think its got a different integration pattern with online paying so I don't have to be looking for the numbers constantly(

[frail yarrow]

Sooo there's a second family here with a very similar last name as mine. Take a guess how I found out??

First the lady at the front desk writes down 1024 for my room number and I noticed that she had my last name as Bowesher. I told her that and then she instead gives me a 5th floor room number. Sooo I take the elevator up to the room. And open the door and there's other people's suitcases in there. Sooo I sneaked back out quietly and went back downstairs. She looks up my name and says there's another family with a similar last name.

Sooo now my room is on the 3rd floor.

[fleet mist]

Oh wow

[west cobalt]

FWIW Be a little careful with airport food… @tulip juniper got a chicken salad sandwich once (like premade in a refrigerated section), and got SUPER sick, on the way home from our honeymoon - ever since we do hot fresh food only in airports

[fleet mist]

Yeeeaaahhhh- I don't touch the prepacked food 😅 honestly, I only go to fast food places inside airports (also, I cant tolerate many meats so I'm personally limited.)

also, I can never remember what FWIW is ;-;

[west cobalt]

FWIW = For What It’s Worth 😃

[fleet mist]

Thank you 🤣

[frail yarrow]

Where ya at in the world right now Liv??

[fleet mist]

20 min till landing!

30 at the most!

[frail yarrow]

What do you wanna do when you get here? Also I always thought we're supposed to be in airplane mode while on the planes.

[pliant monolith]

Arrived at Atlanta, switched planes, getting ready to liftoff for miami!

[fleet mist]

I got wifi

[frail yarrow]

Anyone else staying at the Embassy suites hotel?

[fleet mist]

I have a policy. If wifi is under 30 dollars I'll most likely get it so the time can go by faster for me.

Plus. My 20ish dollars in cash tips from this week and last covered it anyway 🤣🤣🤣

[frail yarrow]

Oooohhhh I forgot about that even though there was a piece of paper in the pouch in front of my seat talking about wifi. I literally just sleep and the other half of the time I spend on the plane getting annoyed by other people's noises.

[fleet mist]

I cant sleep on planes unless its over 12 hours 😅

I found that out with the trips back and forth with Australia.

[empty flint]

I managed to snag wifi with apple pay so WOOP. We taking off in a few mins

[frail yarrow]

These last few years of traveling to Lindsey Stirling concerts have taught me that I can now take a nap anywhere in the world but not deeply asleep. Like I can still hear people talking.

[fleet mist]

WOOHOO!!!

[empty flint]

I havent flown with AA in a while

So apple pay was an option

[frail yarrow]

Another airplane takes off like every minute right over this hotel.

[frail yarrow]

Is AA American Airlines?

[fleet mist]

American, right?

[empty flint]

Im gonna be kicking myself with no wallet. And i may have potentially broken my big toe two days ago. I dont think i did but my friend said sometimes you can still move it when broken so that made me paranoid

Yes AA is american airlines

Not alcoholic anonymous 🤣

[fleet mist]

I'm on American right now 🤣

[empty flint]

Which i joke about

[empty flint]

MURICA

[fleet mist]

I could have told you they accept apple pay 🤣🤣🤣

[empty flint]

I think margot is too

[empty flint]

Liv, i hate you

[fleet mist]

Look us. Being Americans and all 🤣🤣🤣

[empty flint]

But i dont wanna

[frail yarrow]

I also took a American Airlines!!!

[empty flint]

throws a toddler tantrum

I used this company because i had travel credits to use so this flight paid for itself

[frail yarrow]

What hotel you staying at Steph??

[empty flint]

No clue lol i meet margots friend when i land and he booked it, margot is running late due to a delayed plane

[frail yarrow]

I'm at Embassy suites

[fleet mist]

Me neither LOL

[fleet mist]

Also, big mood here.

I went with American because its typically the cheaper option in NOLA

[empty flint]

I still have 13.35 left in travel credit and idk why lol

[frail yarrow]

Doing the exact same thing as I would do being at home. Laying on bed texting you aĺl!!! LOL!!!

[empty flint]

Theres not a single open seat on this plane ugh

But at least i have wifi

[fleet mist]

Oh wow :0

[empty flint]

They told me to put my backpack under the seat because of how much my gear is worth lol

[fleet mist]

Oofles. That sucks. I had an open seat between me and the other person in my row

[empty flint]

And im holding my flute like my life depended on it

[fleet mist]

Also, am landing now ^-^

[empty flint]

I love when that happens

[frail yarrow]

Imma be annoying and tell you. I had a aisle seat and no one sitting beside me or at the windows seat either!!!

[empty flint]

Thanks guys lol

[fleet mist]

The wheels just went down and my ears are hurting LOL

[empty flint]

My row mates are nice enough

I think

[frail yarrow]

Imma hungry. Feed meeeeee!!!

[fleet mist]

I had a good row mate too. Knew how to deal with being the aisle seat and being helpful to the short window seat person 🤣

[empty flint]

Im in an aisle seat

Which i dont mind much

[fleet mist]

I get anxiety in aisle seats 😅

[empty flint]

I just get anxiety

[fleet mist]

I never book them anymore 😅

[frail yarrow]

I had that tight anxiety feeling in my throat for about 95% of the trip down here to Miami.

[fleet mist]

Oofles. I'll see what I can see in the airport areas and if I cant bring food for us. Otherwise, we might have to figure something out

[empty flint]

I think honestly, im afraid of heights

[west cobalt]

Us too!

[fleet mist]

I'm afraid of falling 😅

[fleet mist]

A lot of us took american!

[empty flint]

So knowing im however many feet in the air and not secured to anything freaks me out

[west cobalt]

JUST landed in Miami!

[empty flint]

Were you guys on the same plane haha

[fleet mist]

I mean. Technically you're secured to a seat inside a metal bird

[empty flint]

No liv, the plane itself isnt secured

Lol

Being secured to a seat wont do me any good if the plane isnt secured haha

[frail yarrow]

I'm afraid of escalators. And riding them up.

[fleet mist]

Nope! Cause I havent fully landed yet. Looks like Glyphix took the runway from us first!

[fleet mist]

SAME

[frail yarrow]

And guess who had to ride like 7 escalators today?? That's right Meeeee!!!

😬 😬 😅 😅

[empty flint]

I hope the rain let up a little bit

[fleet mist]

Just landed fully!!! Yay!!!

[frail yarrow]

Wooow this phone charger in the hotel room charges fast!!! My phone is already at 85 percent.

[empty flint]

Im about to take off lol

[fleet mist]

Have a good flight!!!

[empty flint]

Thanks!

[frail yarrow]

Imma starving

[empty flint]

I was about to say you too but too late

[fleet mist]

I'm a little early :D.

[empty flint]

Okay be proud of yourself lmao

Excuse me while i go hyperventilate for a moment

A moment of silence, if you will

[frail yarrow]

Your guys planes landing is deafening me when they fly over the hotel!!!!

[fleet mist]

Can't be proud of myself when I wasn't throttle pedal to the metal flying. 🤣🤣🤣

[fleet mist]

I'm sure I'mma feel right at home then LOL

[frail yarrow]

Every single minute another plane leaves or comes.

Every. Single. Minute!!!

[empty flint]

You guys will be fine lol

[frail yarrow]

LOL!!!

[empty flint]

Me however, i want to cry

[frail yarrow]

My anxiety in my throat makes me queasy all the time. Subsisting on cough drops helps....some.

[fleet mist]

I live underneath a few flight paths in NOLA and under fighter flight paths.

[empty flint]

Its like white noise

[frail yarrow]

I wondered what you meant when you said you'd feel right at home!!! LOL!!!

[fleet mist]

The fighter planes are LOUD lol. But yeah!!

[frail yarrow]

Ohhh yea I have my fan app I will play tonight to sleep to.

[frail yarrow]

Tell me when you need to know my room number. And I will send you a message probably on Instagram.

[fleet mist]

Alrightie!!!

[frail yarrow]

The bed I picked to sleep in is right beside the bathroom sooo I can literally roll off this bed into the bathroom. I definitely didn't just do that, LOl!!!

[fleet mist]

LOL!!! Love that 🤣🤣

[rugged crag]

Holy turbulence Batman. In Miami but wow it was a roller coaster of a ride.

[frail yarrow]

Me too!!! Can I please bring this layout of the room home with me Liv?? Pretty please??!!!!

[frail yarrow]

I had the same thing this morning with my American Airlines plane.

[empty flint]

Dont tell me this i have flight anxiety and i just took off 😭

Im gonna stay out of this chat until i land. I dont wanna hear about turbulence ill get freaked out so bad

[frail yarrow]

OK, it's nothing but fluffy bunnies like your Sasquatch.

[empty flint]

Thats also doesnt help lol

[frail yarrow]

Well I tried, lol!!

[rugged crag]

Doh sorry! It will be O K 👍

[frail yarrow]

I mean I'm not even sure that it's raining anymore here. It could definitely be smooth sailing for you Steph.

Like honestly.

[rugged crag]

Great beach weather. Headed to Miami Beach right now!

[cedar oyster]

I’m glad a lot of you are arriving okay!!! We’re driving to Miami now, technically we were in Fort Lauderdale. I’m not the biggest Miami fan lol

Have fun!!

[wooden ocean]

And i get to experience all of this tomorrow morning at 5am 😂 oh joy.

[rugged crag]

You’ll be fine!

[cedar oyster]

Crossing my fingers Untamed is on the setlist for the first concert tomorrow for… cosplay reasons

Heheh

[tardy cipher]

Think I am caught up with the 180 messages... lol

On the road to the airport

[frail yarrow]

Please tell me you're not reading the messages and driving!!!!

I sent you a message on Instagram @fleet mist

The hotel room I have right now could probably fit 5 people!!! And 6 people if one person slept in the closet!!! LOL!!!

There's 3 sinks in my hotel room!!!

[tulip juniper]

Oh wow !! 🤩

[frail yarrow]

We be fancy schmancy!!! LOL!!!

[tulip juniper]

Yeah !!! 😀

[wooden ocean]

Also something of note to keep in your back pocket saved, here is the merch store times:

[fleet mist]

We be FANCY fancying it!!!

[tardy cipher]

All checked in. Ready for the ship... I mean... plane!

It's 79 degrees here and 78 in Ft. Lauderdale. Nice breeze! 😁

[cedar oyster]

Yo, I assume everyone is staying around the same area so this should be fairly close to you guys in Miami. There’s this diner called Cozy Corner we are eating at and it’s damn delicious if you guys are looking for a place to eat

[supple lark]

I haven't really introduced myself. Tassadar and I agreed to share a cabin last summer, and since then I've been silent on Discord; my bad - I'm terrible with social media.
"Hi. I'm going cruising too." 👋

I'm from Norway, arrived in Miami yesterday. Really looking forward to go on a festival with a boatload of other enthusiasts.

[regal vale]

On the plane!

[lusty maple]

Finally got to our hotel

[light spruce]

I'm in northern Miami, driving down. Quick pit stop, but I'll be at the Comfort inn.

[empty flint]

LANDED

[rugged crag]

Knew you would the whole time!

[empty flint]

Well yeah lmao i knew that too. Very minimal turbulence too

[rugged crag]

Glad to hear

[empty flint]

Yes yes

Now for a bathroom and baggage claim

And find the person im supposed to be meeting

[tardy cipher]

Here we go! See ya all later!

[empty flint]

Youre flying southwest?

Apparently we all flew AA 🤣

At least they got their moneys worth today from all of us

[wooden ocean]

Lol AA was the only one that had a direct flight to Miami for me. Everyone else was like 2 layovers and 8+ hour flights.

[distant echo]

My plane for first part of the trip is starting to board see you guys tomorrow!!!!

[empty flint]

Im being followed by a robot wheelchair and idk how i feel about this lol

[lusty maple]

Took us forever to figure out how to get out of the airport earlier

Late lunch

[empty flint]

Dude same i thought i was going the wrong way at first lol

But i have my bag and now i wait

[pliant monolith]

Made it to Miami

[tired bough]

https://tenor.com/view/short-circuit-movie-driving-johnny5-robot-gif-14675324061305117016

[empty flint]

No seriously i was followed lmao

I kept hearing the same sound and it wasnt getting further away so i looked back and this little thing is rolling along

It even says excuse me if youre in its way 🤣

[tired bough]

It’s taking a trip too lol.

[empty flint]

Just bumped into lindsey at the airport lmao

[tired bough]

Oh wow, seriously?

[empty flint]

Yeah the whole crew lol

They looked lost 🤣

[wooden ocean]

Oh snap!!!!

That's amazing steph!

[cedar oyster]

That’s hilarious 😂

[tired bough]

You must help them find the way!

[empty flint]

I think they got this lmao

[wooden ocean]

And not shocking i looked at the Miami airport and zomg i know I'm gonna look lost when i get there

[empty flint]

I got confused for a moment

[dim yew]

I saw in facebook that there's cruise eve's meeting in miami... Anyone going?

[empty flint]

What?

[tired bough]

Are there any details?

[rugged crag]

I had to stop and ask for directions. Only to find out I just had to keep going straight 🤣

[dim yew]

https://www.facebook.com/groups/591678320272541/

Apparently FPL solar amphitheater at 6pm 🤔

Maybe i'll skip if there's no discord people

[empty flint]

Oh im not part of that group lol

[tired bough]

I may just stick close to my hotel for now lol.

[dim yew]

Yea I don't think it was advertised much

[pliant monolith]

Ya. Sticking to the hotel. It's been a 10+ hour travel day for me. Need to chill for a bit.

[light spruce]

I thought about it, but I'm still debating. There is potential to rain, so they are trying to decide a contingency

[empty flint]

Food is the only plan i have. And a shower

We just got to the hotel

[tired bough]

There’s a Cheesecake Factory near my hotel. I ate there for the very first time during lunch. It was so good, I’m thinking just to get some takeout for supper and stay in for the rest of the night. 😂

[rugged crag]

I secretly DoorDash just cheesecake from them once or twice a year >.>

[light spruce]

Cheesecake is my favorite 😍

I'm going to eat breakfast at Café Bastille tomorrow morning, but haven't planned dinner yet.

[empty flint]

I want cheesecake

[regal vale]

Anyone staying at Miami Hampton inn east?

[empty flint]

First robotic wheelchairs, now CHICKENS WHY ARE THERE CHICKENS

[lusty maple]

Is that by your hotel?

[empty flint]

Yes

I have a room right by the port

Makes life easier for tomorrow morning

[tired bough]

[lusty maple]

Some Miami history, this was right behind my hotel.

[dim yew]

Chickens stole my attention too... I was there 2h ago 😅

[empty flint]

HAHAH

You saw them too 🤣

[dim yew]

They are everywhere if you're near that plane coffee thing

[empty flint]

Interesting

[lusty maple]

Flamingo 🦩 painting behind my hotel

[empty flint]

Ooooh thats cute

[wooden ocean]

All separated and packed and good to go. Less than 12 hours I'll be in the air. See you all tomorrow! 😁

[tardy cipher]

Alliegent. At baggage pickup now. Had a small weather hold while in the air for storms.

[empty flint]

Ooooh. Im glad you made it safely though

[bright seal]

Well our Universal adventure is done. Now time to finish the drive to Miami. See you all soonish. 😀

[empty flint]

THE SUN IS OUT

[fleet mist]

Thats not what we expected! Lol

[lusty maple]

Party boat on the river

[dim yew]

This humidity is not ok

[rugged crag]

The storm is awesome though

[lusty maple]

I actually live in Florida just on the other coast so I'm used to it.

[rugged crag]

Love these walk ways too

[tardy cipher]

You're all welcome. 😆

My shuttle driver to the hotel said it rained all day. Right after our plane landed it stopped.

[rugged crag]

😂

[winter tulip]

We made it safely 🙏 😊

[tardy cipher]

Now time to find some food. Feels good to be back in Florida! Been a few years!

[distant echo]

Well, I’m sitting here at Denver International Airport at my gate for my flight to leave at 11:25 tonight so I can arrive in Miami in the morning and I did a pay it forward type thing. I brought some snacks with me cause I didn’t wanna pay a whole bunch of airport fees for food and there was a young girl there in her probably early 20s talking to somebody on her phone and I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but she mentioned the fact that she had to wait eight hours for her flight and she was hungry and she couldn’t do anything until she got home so I gave her some of my snacks and I felt pretty good about it. You know it’s nice to share with people cause pay it for it always comes around.

[light spruce]

Ended up riding the ferris wheel at night with some FB Lindsey cruisers after dinner at Bayside Market.

[wooden ocean]

Well 5am flight here we go. Boarding now, see you all in a few hours!!!

[distant echo]

Just arrived at the Airport, screaming child most of the flight. Poor kid, Mom Dad and grand parents could not find what would calm him. Now gotta figure out how to get from Airport to port at a decent price . lol

[pliant monolith]

Cabs run about $50 for the trip. Uber likely cheaper.

[rain monolith]

Norwegian might offer a shuttle. They have their own counter by baggage claim

Happy cruise day everyone!! So excited! I can’t believe the day is actually here!!!🎻🚢

[fleet mist]

ITS CRUISE DAY YALL

[empty flint]

IT IS

[wooden ocean]

Still so surreal. Been planning for the past year to make this work and it's actually here. Just landed also 😂

[distant echo]

Which baggage claim in what terminal?

[wooden ocean]

If you're coming from Miami International then should be baggage D. I'll be there in a few minutes myself.

[distant echo]

But you need a pre-book don’t you??

[wooden ocean]

You can prebook it but i wouldn't see why you couldn't pay for it there.

[distant echo]

Unfortunately, I’m in terminal F and D is quite a distance here and I don’t think they have one here

[wooden ocean]

@distant echo yea I'm here right now they have a shuttle on its way back but should be around 9:20 leaving here. It's baggage claim D - carrasol 25

You can sign up right here and it'll just get put on your account.

It is a little bit of a trek but you got time

[light spruce]

Haha, just realized this is the same hotel I'm at 😄

[empty flint]

Oh hi there haha

[cedar oyster]

I’m heading over soon!!!! See you guyssss

You’ll know it’s me and my family by the massive amount of luggage 😅

[rugged crag]

Bunch of people stuck just waiting in a line 😭

[tardy cipher]

Our check-in time is between 11 AM and 11:30 AM.

[light spruce]

My check in is at 1130-1200. Grabbing breakfast at Cafe Bastille beforehand

[tardy cipher]

Uber is picking us up at 10:10. We're about 25 miles from port.

[fleet mist]

I'll be headed that way with Connie in a little bit!!!

[tardy cipher]

In case you guys forgot... there another thread.

[distant echo]

Right now I’m re-thinking the guitar idea… lol

[pliant monolith]

In the port, waiting to board. The Gem is the only ship today. Also, go under the big white tent-like structure and up the steps.

In order to get on. Lots of lines with people leaving the last cruise.

[rugged crag]

I accidentally checked in way earlier than my time, they don’t care. We got herded like cats

[pliant monolith]

Yep. Just show up and check in!

[light spruce]

Good to know, I may head over a bit earlier then my check in time then!

[pliant monolith]

Butterflies have begun to fly! Lol... 🦋 🦋 🦋

[wooden ocean]

100% very true lol

In line now!

[distant echo]

In the check-in in area waiting for roomie 😁

[cedar oyster]

[opal siren]

You’ll see 😏

[warm kestrel]

I can't stop laughing

[cedar oyster]

Omg

Now I gotta hurry 😂

[dim dew]

Can somebody post the setlists of each show for the ones of us who can’t attend? 🥹🥹🥹 and maybe some pics/vids? I’m sure internet will be slow and limited tho. Hope you all have a wonderful time!!!

[rugged crag]

Psa if you attempt to get into your room you’ll get yelled at 😂

[austere scaffold]

Woohoo! First to finish the scavenger hunt. Picture of the prize

[cedar oyster]

Is anyone going to the breathwork at 1:30?

[opal siren]

Don’t think so 😂

[wooden ocean]

I don't think i can. I'm exhausted and that heat is gonna be killer.

[empty flint]

I found it on the stairwell

If someone here left an axolotl, its adorable and i will treasure it forever haha

[regal vale]

I am! I’m here!

[pliant monolith]

We should do a crew bingo. So far I've passed Drew, Ryan, Taylor, Lindsey's mom, and Abby (breath work). Good to see they made it! 😉

[cedar oyster]

I was going to go and then I gound friends and got sidetracked haha

[bright seal]

More fun trinkets being found.

[rugged crag]

Shops open now?

[opal siren]

@empty flint and I literally ran into the whole team at the airport lmao

[opal siren]

Where did you find this?

Rehearsals are ongoing

[bright seal]

Found 3 hanging around near railings of stairs.

Only grabbed 1, but they are neat as they fit with another half.

[trail stag]

Omg! I saw Lindsey's mom I'm pretty sure?? I haven't seen her in exactly 9 years so I was too nervous that it wasn't her 😭

[bright seal]

Found a 🦋

[regal vale]

I saw Drew come out of the elevator

Where are all you guys? I’m on the upper deck by the stage

[rugged crag]

I can’t get my daughter out of the pool

[distant echo]

Hey Bryce, Karis and I are down in the garden café on the outside deck having a coffee the great outdoors very back of it and will be up shortly if there’s any seat that’s up there by the stage save them for us. If not, we’re gonna grab some seats.

[regal vale]

I’m just standing by the railing

[regal vale]

Hey, check your messages:)

[distant echo]

On Instagram? Others?

Found them

[regal vale]

I meant @glass crater lol

[regal vale]

Ok, come to the upper deck if you both want to

[distant echo]

I’m at Port side of the ship by the two hot tubs or are you?

[regal vale]

That’s where I am

Right next to drum set outside on deck

[distant echo]

Is there an opening there without with you that we can come up to?

[civic valve]

Did you find an axolotl on the pink stairs?

Also I'm jealous of all of you guys 😭

[bright seal]

[cedar oyster]

THEY PLAYED UNTAMED WHILE I HAD UNTAMED COSPLAY AND I WENT FERAL BECAUSE I HAD A 50/50 SHOT OF THAT

[fleet mist]

UNTAMED WAS AMAZING

[cedar oyster]

Dude I got so much sunscreen in my eyes, they’re bloodshot 😂 if I look terrible that’s why

[trail stag]

Are we still meeting up? Idk if I'm in the right place lol

[west cobalt]

We are on our way (late as usual 😅)

Grand Pacific, right?

[cedar oyster]

I’ll be there in hopefully like 20 minutes? Sorry after I got back from the cabin I realized I kinda had heatstroke and needed a bit of rest 😅

[light spruce]

Hydrate!!!

[west cobalt]

I feel ya, take your time!

[supple lark]

We have a table for three more

[light spruce]

I have totally been forgetting to hydrate...😂

[tired bough]

I found a couple of lost ducklings on my walk about around the ship lol.

[cedar oyster]

Coming to the garden cafe now! I brought the discord badges!

[empty flint]

Found a butterfly lol

[trail stag]

Dang it. I was there til like 7.. I mustve barely missed y'all 😭

[trail stag]

[trail stag]

[wooden ocean]

Lol well thank you!! I appreciate it. Yea mines "at" 10am so i might be able get it to you as we're potentially both in line 😂.

[trail stag]

[trail stag]

Yea I definitely met someone today whose is also "at 10" so we should be able to link up!!

[wooden ocean]

Woot woot! 😁 then you in the morning!

[trail stag]

I'm zipping around in a lil black blingy wheelchair. And a honey badger named Thor. I suck at faces so if you see me just yell 😁 (to anyone that sees me! )

[fleet mist]

HONEY BADGER

[west cobalt]

OMG I think we might’ve passed by you yesterday! My wife @tulip juniper has the straightener do you need it today?

[rugged crag]

@wooden ocean green shirted gentleman?

[wooden ocean]

Oh yes

Sorry!

[rugged crag]

It’s ok. Had to take kiddo to bathroom I’ll flag you once I see you again haha

[wooden ocean]

I'm standing in the middle 😂😂

Lol no worries mate

But yep middle table

Need to get to my 10am photo in pacific. I can swing back though!

[rugged crag]

No worries. I’ll find you eventually!

[trail stag]

YES!! Sending a message to men that they're not safe to come close 😁

[trail stag]

Omg I actually found mine like right as I was running to the airport 😅 I appreciate her though!!
Next time flag me down!!

[trail stag]

@wooden ocean I'm stuck at guest services for a bit while my battery charges but I can come find you!

[trail stag]

Wahhhhhhhh I haven't gotten in a group pic yet😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[dim yew]

???? How I managed to look so angry

[west cobalt]

Is anyone at or heading to Argas and crafts?

[cedar oyster]

I’ll be there!

[tardy cipher]

Love the Luna on your shoulder. Haha

[late gorge]

anyone doing bingo with david archie ???

[cedar oyster]

Okay maybe not, I’m a little delayed 😅 my stepdad is having really intense nerve pain and we’re trying to figure it out

[west cobalt]

Oh my gosh, I hope he feels better soon! Take care

[wooden ocean]

You still at guest services??

[rugged crag]

I can meet you there if you’re going @wooden ocean

[wooden ocean]

Yea I'll meet you two there if so!

[regal vale]

Am I understanding correctly one has to pay for bingo?

[rugged crag]

Yes. I have a few cards you’re welcome to one if you just want to join in

[opaque shell]

Congratulations and omg Phelba!!

[tardy cipher]

Washy Washy, Happy Happy

[trail stag]

I definitely just saw a small deep sea fishing boat shoot straight at our ship and cut it off like they're the Dukes of Hazard!

[tired bough]

A small group of us were saying we hope they aren’t pirates making for the ship. But then they’d see all the “pirates” walking around the boat deck and they’d change their mind.

[wooden ocean]

@tired bough and @tulip juniper where will you both be at some point?? You're my last two Stirlingites i have to get you your tokens! 😁

[tired bough]

I’m currently on the pool deck waiting for the Newlywed Game. If looking at the stage, I’m on the left side under the shade.

[wooden ocean]

Niiice righto, yea I'll be there too so I'll stop in!

[opaque shell]

Still thinking to myself, maybe someone will get married on the ship

[supple lark]

I just saw Black Gryphon in the Atrium. If anyone is sitting on the fence, I highly recommend seeing them - you're gonna have a good time.

[frail yarrow]

There was a successful proposal at the Lindsey Stirling newlywed game!!!

Sooo you weren't far off!!!

[opaque shell]

Aw yay! Congratulations to them! I love that i was onto something 😊
Also imagine if we all went to each other's weddings one day. Idk why but i thought it'd be nice

[fleet mist]

That was super duper cute!!!

[opaque shell]

So glad you recorded it!!

[winter tulip]

Does anyone have a small or medium Lindsey Cruise hooded?

[cedar oyster]

I think they sold out of everything 😦

[winter tulip]

Yeah I know. Maybe someone has extras lol 🤔

[grim rock]

Uff, that was fast

[trail stag]

One of my fave moments so far!

I'm alive I think? Had to crash for awhile yesterday/last night 😭

I love/hate being right under the pool deck... Something pretty is happening.

[opaque shell]

I hope you're having fun Carly!!

[cedar oyster]

Yoga with Abbey was amazing- I wish I could have done it the whole time but I think between the heat and up/down my blood pressure was dropping by so fast I didn’t want to pass out

[wooden ocean]

Agreed!! I know i over did it. I'm definitely over heated, should've stopped at the 20 min left mark. I'm sitting right now until i can regain balance lol. Probably should swim to cool off at this point.

[fleet mist]

We aren't talking about what happened to me at Yoga 🤣🫠

[opaque shell]

I have questions haha

[fleet mist]

You should 🤣🤣🤣

[whole heart]

There will also be a companies update later in the week. How large? Well, you'll just have to wait and see....

[tardy cipher]

That was some hot yoga!

So glad they brought us cooling towels.

[fleet mist]

Same.

[tardy cipher]

Here's a shot of the other cruise ship across from us.

[opaque shell]

That looks awesome 😄

[tardy cipher]

Gift from Lindsey last night! It's a bracelet with a humming bird.

Also...
Washy washy... Happy happy!

[opaque shell]

What is washy washy, happy happy anyway? You've said that frequently this week xD

[opaque shell]

Any sign of Phelba??

[opaque shell]

Has anybody told you guys you are the Pirates of the Caribbean now?

[wooden ocean]

😂😂 fair

[tardy cipher]

Just heard it again!

[opaque shell]

😂 this feels like an inside joke now

Me trying to get on the ship

[tired bough]

I wish you could be here, Zain. You above all I think deserve to be here.

[opaque shell]

I wish I could afford to go so far (plus like many Canadians, I'm also worried about safety concerns at the border, but affordability for an entire trip was a whole thing prior to that)

What have you guys found in the Bahamas?

[wooden ocean]

Anyone seen @tulip juniper around at all? I still have the token as my last give away for her.

[west cobalt]

That’s my wife you actually gave her hers at the grand Pacific the first day 🙂 (Thanks!)

[wooden ocean]

Ohhhh!!! That's awesome! I was getting really worried i wasnt gonna be able to give that out.

Glad i was able to 😁

[warm kestrel]

it's what they say to wash our hands when we go eat

[opaque shell]

Oh really? That's funny!

[cedar oyster]

🎶 sanitizeeee your hAAAaaaands 🎶
Always happy, washy washy!

They always say the “sanitize your hands” in the same inflections too haha

[tired bough]

In the morning during breakfast in the garden cafe, there’s one guy in particular who has fun and sings about keeping your hands clean lol.

[wooden ocean]

And you can hear him for a few rows away too 😂 he carries his voice well.

[tardy cipher]

Secret is out! Haha

[opaque shell]

This is making me think of that handwashing song from Snow White 😂

[trail stag]

They do it all day in the buffet! It's been the theme song to my meals 😂😍

[trail stag]

So does the woman that does it during lunch 😍

I STILL NEED TO BE IN A GROUP PICTURE AND MEET @tardy cipher !!!!!!

Just fyi 😁

[trail stag]

Patrick and I went to Pearl Island and did some snorkeling and chillaxin 😁

[wooden ocean]

I was thinking we need to do it Friday. I was lookin through times of events to see the best time to do it

[trail stag]

Yes! Just @ me when you decide in case I don't see it!

[opaque shell]

Aw that sounds nice!!

[dim yew]

Don't know if it's brainwash or handwash, but seems to be working

[rugged crag]

100% working. My kids making a song of it for everything now lol

[wooden ocean]

So looking at the schedule, how about right after the 400 cabins set in the stardust theater? Then we can use the hallway of stardust, or the theater itself for the group discord picture. Nothing in it for an hour so we have plenty of time. So it would be aim for 7:20pm stardust i would say deck 7 entrance. Most people might leave on 6. If everyone thinks that would work best?

[regal vale]

I can’t be included because I have to soundcheck for open mic night

[wooden ocean]

Dang, sorry Bryce

[west cobalt]

I figure it’s a longshot, but does anyone have a stimulant laxative we could get one of?

[fleet mist]

C H E E S E

[tardy cipher]

I don't know if cheese is best for a laxative. 😁

[fleet mist]

1 guess who stole my phone 🤣

[tardy cipher]

It was @laci ... 🍌

[fleet mist]

Speaking of laci. I have a picture for her.

[regal vale]

Maybe we could pick another time

[frail yarrow]

Guess who is as red as a steamed lobster 🦞, covered in bruises, scrapes, heat rashes but rocked out at the Lindsey Stirling concert and danced the night away at the silent disco?? And I had a blast doing everything!!!!!!

[frail yarrow]

I still got your calendar to give you.

[frail yarrow]

Oh and I almost drowned my watch after spontaneously running into the ocean for one last dip in the water before leaving the beach. About 10 minutes into walking back to the cruise ship my watch started working again!!!!

[fleet mist]

I STILL NEED TO MEET YOU CARLY

[opaque shell]

Carly, Liv meet up!!! 😄

[trail stag]

YES!!!!! I cheered loud for you last night!!!
Send me your number in DM?

[empty flint]

Would anyone who is on the ship be able to record my performance later? 🥹

[opaque shell]

I hope someone can record it for you!

[empty flint]

Im sure they can lol

[fleet mist]

Okay!!!

Sent you a small @trail stag

[wooden ocean]

I'll getcha Steph!

[empty flint]

Thank you!!!

[steep thorn]

My first guess would be @fleet mist 🤡

[tardy cipher]

I am sure we'll get multiple angles of it!

[empty flint]

WOOP

[fleet mist]

NOT THIS TIME

But I did bust my ass salsa dancing in front of Lindsey

[trail stag]

OMG LIV I WILL SCREAM AND HUG YOU AFTER THE CUP CAKES!! You look beautiful 😍😭

I actually got a seat in front! 😍

[whole heart]

And there goes another company onto Liv's list. Which one? That will remain a surprise until the end of the week.

[supple lark]

Just found this little guy in one of the elevators

[fleet mist]

aaaaahhhhhh we need to see each other 😭😭😭 I'm at David Archuleta now lol (after needing to go deal with stuff after dance class)

[regal vale]

Guys! I got picked to go on stage for dance class with Taylor! Lindsey said to me “too bad you didn’t bring your harmonica.” I said “you mean the kazoo!” Haha 🤣 Lindsey said “of course, I knew that.” I said “you dingbat!” Lindsey is like “Bryce!!!!”

[pliant monolith]

These two are looking for a stirlingite lanyard holder.

If you have an extra and see them, please help them out.

[trail stag]

I had a mental health break. Unscheduled.. but I'm heading back out!!

The cupcakes thing was SO incredible 😭 But her story really reallyyyy got me 😭

[west cobalt]

We’ve got an extra one. Do you know if they’re going to the deep cuts set tonight?

[wooden ocean]

I still have one white one left

[opaque shell]

Aw what story?

[wooden ocean]

@pliant monolith you know where they'll be?

[opaque shell]

Still no sign of Phelba?

[pliant monolith]

Not sure. They won't be at the set tonight. But they are joining discord. They're also collecting items for the one lady who couldn't make it at the last minute. Story on that on Facebook.

[wooden ocean]

Acknowledged.

[west cobalt]

Does anyone know best place to lineup for Stardust for the deep cut set? Deck six or seven?

[wooden ocean]

And no not as of yet Zain

[pliant monolith]

Ok. Just met them again. They're in the garden café by the windows.

[wooden ocean]

Dang it lol. I must've passed opposite sides of them as i went through the whole ship.

I'm in line for the first 400 show right now.

If you're near them we'll be at the stardust right after 7:20 obviously for the picture. Or the atrium at 8:15

[pliant monolith]

K.

What level? 6 I imagine?

[wooden ocean]

7 because mostly everyone will be going through 6 to exit

So we can use 7's long hallway for a good long shot

#1252665131423367188 message BTW all - really only the best time to get a group photo

[pliant monolith]

In line level 6. Outside the casino.

[late gorge]

the line is so long. we came down here at 4:40 and it was already in the back of the casino

[west cobalt]

Yeah, we’re all the way back at tradewinds on deck seven

[late gorge]

it’s wiiid

*wiiild

DAMNNNNN

[wooden ocean]

First 400 cabins can be from 400 people to 1600 lol. Considering you could have 4 in a room.

So it's gonna be cramped in there for sure lol

[pliant monolith]

Of course, technically, I was 1st!

[late gorge]

omg i didn’t think about that💀

[wooden ocean]

Math is fun lol

#1252665131423367188 message @fleet mist @glass crater @trail stag @cedar oyster as a reminder

[trail stag]

Are we still taking a picture? They made me leave and I didn't see anyone 😭

I'm also kinda reacting from being inside but I wanted to see everyone again!!

[tardy cipher]

I am in the Atrium

[opaque shell]

I hope you find everybody!

[west cobalt]

@runic grotto great meeting you! 😊 This is one of the threads I mentioned

[runic grotto]

@west cobalt thank you! It was great meeting all of yall !!!

[wooden ocean]

Yea if we can we can do another picture in the atrium after the mic night

[west cobalt]

We are here eating at osheehans 😊

[wooden ocean]

Noice 😁

[wooden ocean]

@trail stag @west cobalt down to the atrium!!!

[coarse willow]

He's just a little guy!

[supple lark]

Right?! He seemed so lost. I'm taking him home.

[cedar oyster]

Can’t believe it’s our last night, let’s make the most of it!

[wooden ocean]

100% 😁 All discordians have fun on this last few hours on the Lindsey cruise!! Thank you all for being here as a community!

[opaque shell]

I'm only just realizing this is your guys's last night 😮 for some reason, I thought the 17th was a full day for everyone

Have fun all of you!

[tired bough]

No, we’ll start leaving the ship around 8:00 tomorrow morning. I wish we could keep going lol. 😞

[opaque shell]

I'm officially sad for you guys. It's going to be sad for many of you to say goodbye either tonight or tomorrow. I hope everyone felt safe and had fun

[regal vale]

Unfortunately it’s not a full day 😦

[regal vale]

I’m definitely going to be emotional when I leave!

[opaque shell]

I'm sorry guys 😦
I know that feeling too well

[rugged crag]

I just wanna say you’re all awesome. Wish I got to meet/hang out with more of you but had a blast. 🫶 Hope we get to do this again!

[empty flint]

Yeah, i cried. A lot

For all of you guys who ive known, and the ones ive met, thank you so much. Im already sad about disembarking tomorrow morning. You guys are all awesome though and im thankful for this opportunity

And if any of you guys got my performance on video, id love for you to send it! 🙂

[regal vale]

Same here! Would love video of my performance!

[rugged crag]

Was a pleasure to randomly encounter you in the wild! Thanks for the good company watching David today.

[empty flint]

Haha yes! Funny how that worked out, huh. It was a fun show

[tardy cipher]

Never in my wildest dreams would I thought I would be dancing with Lindsey Stirling during silent disco!

[regal vale]

Cool

[opaque shell]

Aww you guys are lucky!

[trail stag]

Wow!!!! 😍😍

[fleet mist]

The past five days have been nothing short of magical and amazing. It's going to be extremely weird not being on this boat, but. We did this y'all!!! We had that fun! We did all the things we did!!! We made these memories and it was all REAL!

It was a pleasure to sail with you all, fellow Stirlingites

[regal vale]

I had so much fun and it was nice to meet you. I loved the dance class

[bright seal]

Had a blast. Sorry I didn't meet any of y'all. Didn't get wifi, had to show the 13 yo life without it. Then during the day 1 meet up, I did the blackjack tourney.

Hope to do this again in the future.

[opaque shell]

30 more mins 😦

I hope you guys got a lot of hugs in!

So I'm to take it that Phelba STILL didn't meet Lindsey 😅

[opaque shell]

8 a.m. 😦

[bright seal]

1 more hour until I get off and start the fun 14+ hour drive home.

[rugged crag]

Safe travels home everyone

[rugged crag]

Did your kid melt without internet? 😂

[bright seal]

Not quite. He did get bored at times, especially last night after the last Lindsey show.

We had the arcade package, so he did a lot of air hockey and basketball.

But he can learn to be board.

[rugged crag]

That’s awesome. My kiddo did pretty good too thankfully

[opaque shell]

I hope you guys have a safe trip home ❤

[empty flint]

She was dancing HARD 🤣

[frail yarrow]

I danced with Lindsey Stirling last night!!!!!!!!

[frail yarrow]

Same here!!! I danced with Lindsey to the last song. I think it was something like: hot to go???

[frail yarrow]

Liv I will always love spending time with you and everyone else!!!!!

[supple lark]

I really had a fantastic time cruising! I knew that I would, but this exceeded my expectations.
I struggle with approaching and talking with strangers, so thank you all for being so welcoming.

And thank you @cedar oyster for starting this thread, without which I probably would not have gone at all.

[frail yarrow]

I think I sat at a table and ate with you??

[supple lark]

Yes, you're right, at the Garden Cafe on Thursday, I think

[frail yarrow]

About to get off the bus shuttle to the airport!!!!!

[frail yarrow]

I loved talking to you!!!

[opaque shell]

This is my go-to now, I'm sorry 😂

[frail yarrow]

I am now eating at a T.G.I Fridays restaurant in the Miami, Florida Airport. All I got to eat before leaving the Lindsey Stirling cruise was a bite of a candy bar that Nat had leftover and then 1 cough drop. Nat woke up before 7am and I heard her packing items and woke up. I am glad she did because we ended up leaving around 7:30am instead of 8:30am.

[trail stag]

Y'all, this trip was exactly what I needed 😭 The joy that y'all have brought me and the love given is going to keep me going forever! I have never met so many beautiful, remarkable and loving people in a span of 5 days 😭😍 Thank you for accepting me into the family event though I did have to miss a bit.. It was hard but definitely worth it. I hope I get to see ALL of you again 😍😭🥹 I love all of y'all so much, my DS(discord Stirling) family ❤️❤️

[empty flint]

I LOVE YOU CARLY

[fleet mist]

LOVE YAH CARLY AND IT WAS SO WONDERFUL TO FINALLY GIVE YOU THAT GIANT HUG

[frail yarrow]

I love you Carly!!! Loved getting to meet with you!!!

[frail yarrow]

Hiii

[undone laurel]

It's molly

[lusty maple]

My sister is finally in the discord

[frail yarrow]

Ohhh cool!!!

[warm kestrel]

[frail yarrow]

Hiiii Margot!!!

[undone laurel]

Hi margot

[fleet mist]

Hey..

[undone laurel]

@fleet mist it's Molly

[fleet mist]

Heeeyyy Molly

[undone laurel]

@fleet mist miss you

[fleet mist]

Miss you too >×<

[pliant monolith]

It was great meeting everyone. Had lots of fun. Made lots of memories. Just checked into the airport hotel. My redeye leaves 5 am tomorrow morning!

[opaque shell]

Carly I’m so glad you felt right at home with everyone! ❤️ you especially deserve it

[opaque shell]

Welcome!!

[north nebula]

I’m so glad I got to meet you.

[frail yarrow]

Glad that I got to meet you too Karis!!!!

[warm kestrel]

[frail yarrow]

And of course you too Margot!!!!!

[warm kestrel]

Hahaha! I'm happy to have seen you all in person ❤️ next time it's your turn to come to Europe 😛

[frail yarrow]

Well I do have a passport for the next like 9.5 years!!!!!

I have loads of time!!!

[west cobalt]

Same here! I normally never talk to strangers, this community is starting to bring me out of my shell and learn to socialize… which is probably good since my daughter is a total extrovert. 😅

[west cobalt]

Yay! Welcome! 😊

[west cobalt]

Great meeting you! I will have try out some Comté 😋

[modern sedge]

Sorry. We limit the amount of people that can be pinged at once.

I'll post your message below @west cobalt lol

[west cobalt]

Oops, sorry! 😬

[modern sedge]

All good! Turns out even I can't ping those people, a screenshot will have to make do, they should hopefully see it? 😅

https://pics.britishbenji.xyz/i/c6c99eaa-fff3-4d1e-943c-f17f1ef928fc.png

[wooden ocean]

An @everyone would ping the channel so essentially the same

Whoops lol Benji how did that work???? I thought that is disabled for members 😂

[west cobalt]

The short version is if we met you and you don’t see your name and the screenshot above we love if you tag us so we can remember and connect a face to a name/screen name 😊

[frail yarrow]

I actually could read it all once I scrolled in a bit!!!

[west cobalt]

This one might be more readable on phone screens

[frail yarrow]

Less than 1 hour and I will finally be out of this freezing airport!!!

[glass crater]

Me the same! I had a lot of struggle with my social phobia year ago but this is one of the reason I came on the cruise like to challenge myself that I can do even just going blank with the English 😬

Thank you so much for this unique moment for everyone who u met onboard 🙂

[frail yarrow]

I hope that I was able to help you out a bit!!!

[glass crater]

And also I just can’t believe that I danced on Taylor’s class like I’m super shy

[frail yarrow]

I can't believe we danced with Lindsey Stirling!!!!!

[distant echo]

This trip has been amazing, amazing friends that I got to meet IRL some I was not able to catchup with. Maybe again something like this can happen. Thank You all!!💜💜💜💜💜💜

[glass crater]

Yeah you helped me a lot Connie! I really appreciate your kindness and patience 😊

Have a safe trip back home everyone !

[frail yarrow]

I finally see the airplane lining up to let us on in a bit. Please let this plane be warmer than this airport!!!! 🙏

[tardy cipher]

This week has been amazing! Was so great meeting you all!

[frail yarrow]

I don't think I actually got a picture with just you and I tho.

[supple lark]

I just bumped into Drew and Ryan taking a stroll on Miami Beach. Funny! 😃

[empty flint]

[empty flint]

THANK YOU

[frail yarrow]

Less than 10 minutes then I'll be on the plane!!!

[wooden ocean]

Likewise Nat! I don't do social gatherings but for similar liked things. Having Lindsey as a good reason made the trip 10x easier with the people i knew would be like me. You were awesome to meet!

[glass crater]

Thank you to receive me so well and thanks for the discord tag 🙂

[pliant monolith]

I finally got used to the subtle rock of the boat. Now it feels strange being on land. Wierd how the body works sometimes.

[wooden ocean]

Met someone on my flight back that was also apparently just on the cruise too! Mentioned my pirate hat in passing to a couple on front of me boarding and another said i was just there too! I still have one more discord token to provide!! Yessssss increase the discord Stirlingite army.

[empty flint]

Thats awesome!

[wooden ocean]

And that's that. Back home in my condo once again. Bittersweet. Nice to be home but 😭 no more Lindsey concert today lol.

[frail yarrow]

Soooo uuuhhh I have a question for you all. Are any of you guys sick/ slightly sick? Cause my cough has gotten worse and I now have a very slight temperature.

Just got home too.

[fleet mist]

My voice is absolutely toast but. I been screaming lots

[frail yarrow]

My brother kinda forcefully gave me a covid-19 test earlier and told me to take it as he called me: Typhoid Mary. I'm like ok, but did some unpacking of my phone and food from the airport. Will take the test in a few minutes.

I am sooo used to using my phone to talk/type to you all while on the cruise, that now I am finally on my computer I am like: must check phone!!! And also where's my Lindsey TV?? My TV doesn't have the Lindsey channel!!!! I want my Lindsey channel like we had on the Lindsey cruise!!!! I literally spent day 2 and on falling asleep to that channel.

[opal siren]

there was a Lindsey channel?

I didn't even check the TV lmao

[frail yarrow]

Yup!!! Channel 14!!!

It was back to back to back to back to back to back Lindsey music videos!!!! No commercials or anything in between them either!!!

Sooo it would be like: Crystallize, then roundtable rival, the hold my heart, the unfolding, then Love's just a feeling.

[opal siren]

oh nice

[frail yarrow]

You're Margot's friend right?

[opal siren]

Yes !

[frail yarrow]

Yaaaay!! I thought it was you!!!!

I'm sooo glad that I got to meet you in person!!!

[fleet mist]

Kermit!!!

[frail yarrow]

Place your bets everyone!!! Does Connie have Covid-19 along with her injuries or is it just a cold?? I'm going 50/50!!!

[opal siren]

I wasn't very active on this server, but I'm glad I was still able to meet all of you 🙂

[opal siren]

Liiiiiv!!!

[opal siren]

A cold due to the brutal changes of temperature with the air-con?

[frail yarrow]

Whelp you guys, I just tested positive for Covid-19 which means every single one of you should test yourselves too if you feel sick. Darn it again!!!!!!!!!!

[opal siren]

bruh

[frail yarrow]

I didn't do it on purpose tho.

[opal siren]

I know 😉

[glass crater]

Oh gosh

[lusty maple]

We did not find that the tv played Lindsey music till the last night of the cruise . It was nice to watch because we were to wound up to sleep

[whole heart]

How'd a frog get on a passenger ship?

[north nebula]

I had some airport fiascos . But made it home . Literally had to run in Atlanta to make sure mad e connection. Had to go through TSA again in miami right before boarding time . Plane had a crazy Side to side movement on descent in Atlanta. When got to home airport had to wait to deplane . Plane was still loading in out spot.

[frail yarrow]

I just tested positive for Covid-19. Now everyone here is gonna hate me. 😬😬😬

[opal siren]

got tired of swimming

[frail yarrow]

That actually makes a lot of sense!!!

[whole heart]

I see.....I will take this at face value and not ask further questions....

[north nebula]

I’m glad we were able to meet. You did great with your dancing.

[regal vale]

I need a video of it

[frail yarrow]

I only got a short clip of Lindsey on the dance floor. I think @north nebula has plenty of videos tho.

[tardy cipher]

Oh we saw, sharks, unicorns, gnomes, hot dogs, bananas... etc.

Two of those are on the Discord. 😄

[frail yarrow]

Don't forget the many many many fairies of the discord along with our fairy queen of violin!!!!

[whole heart]

I see..

[tardy cipher]

Liv is also now the owner of Costume X.

[whole heart]

The company list has been updated accordingly

[cedar oyster]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Loved seeing you all, I’m so sad it’s over

I’m still in Florida, don’t leave until tomorrow

[tardy cipher]

I am in Marco Polo today and tomorrow.

It's around Ft. Lauderdale

Probably walk the beach tomorrow. Didn't get far enough in Nassau to the beach.

[frail yarrow]

Me and Nat walked to the nearest beach and spent 1 hour there and then went straight back to the Lindsey cruise ship!!!

[distant echo]

I just landed in Phoenix just a few minutes ago delays like probably many of us had to deal with. I got in late here got late to Houston and I ended up at seven minutes to get from one gate to another. You know horseshoe effect more or less getting from one section to the other, just barely made my flight, but I’m home. One piece of luggage is on a later flight cause I didn’t make it off the plane in time so they’re gonna deliver that to me. I will chat with you all tomorrow I’m gonna go home and sleep Probably till midday or more but I have tons of stuff to share with everybody and I’ll be doing that over the next many days putting it together and I am so glad they’ve had the experience with all of you and hope we get to do it again sometime.

[bright seal]

Won't, just got home. 1000 miles driven in 15 hours.

[regal vale]

I mean on stage during dance class

[fleet mist]

I'm still on cloud nine over being able to be on stage with Lindsey and Taylor and Annelise that one night.

Looking into in the crowd and seeing y'all/hearing y'all that were there cheering for me helped me feel even more confident to even try. I cant believe i did that! It was so much fun!!!

[opaque shell]

I hope you get your luggage soon!

[regal vale]

My third flight got canceled. Haven’t left yet

[tulip juniper]

Oh my Gosh ! So sorry ! Geez 😒

[opal siren]

I’m so used to delays in public transportation that it doesn’t affect me anymore actually

I’m actually surprised when my flight/train is on time lmao

[warm kestrel]

Good luck 😂

[fleet mist]

Dear gods 🤣🤣🤣

[opaque shell]

Ugh I'm sorry

[distant echo]

Still hasn’t arrived, and I’m trying to track it down

[whole heart]

https://open.spotify.com/track/0bfZkCDI6FBuwRjbIQYvtO?si=b47d4593761740d5

[whole heart]

You called?

[frail yarrow]

🚂

[distant echo]

Yay my suitcase finally got delivered!!!

[fleet mist]

Woohoo!!!

[opaque shell]

Finally!

[frail yarrow]

Awesome!!!

[distant echo]

So my flights last night guys, I did some thinking besides taking a couple naps here and there, i’m gonna speak to some friends of mine that are really good content creators for streaming on exactly how to use this system now that twitch has where you can bring in guest(s) and I’ve seen how it works a little bit. I’m gonna probably do some test runs here in the near future to be able to get folks on live through their twitch channel connected to mine “the stirlingite channel” when it’s time to start putting things together and share our stories, pictures, videos, etc. I’m gonna try to put it all together for the presentation part of it. I do have a discord channel for the stirlingite channel. I’ll make that available when everybody is ready to hop on this thing and do a fun ride, but I gotta get the details out to you when I get everything set up and it’s gonna take me probably maybe a week or two to do that because I have to go back to work on Tuesday and I’m gonna be doing a 10 day stretch cause my GM is going on vacation for her grandson‘s graduation so I’m gonna be limited on time and hours on how to set things up, but I’m gonna spend every day doing that and then soon as I have it ready when she comes back from vacation I’ll know what days I’m gonna have off. Hopefully, I’ll get back to a normal schedule and I can plan and prepare all the stuff and give everybody a chance to cool down and settle down and what not from this awesome journey that we just went on for the last five days so I look forward to everything with everyone and I hope you will join in and join sharing your pictures and videos and coming on the screen. If you want you don’t have to be on screen if you don’t want to, I can also open voice chat through the story night channel so people can hear you and we can tell our stories and share experiences and what fun we had with Lindsey on this amazing amazing trip that we went on

[opaque shell]

I have been hoping you can get to interview Stirlingites! 🙂

[frail yarrow]

Sounds like a great plan!!! Just ping me sometime like the day before you stream sooo that I can try to join in!

[bright seal]

Man, the cruise party was so fun, i am gonna keep it going by going to see my favorite metal band tonight. They have some sweet opening acts also!

So glad I have this comming week off as well to recover

[warm kestrel]

Which one 👀

[fleet mist]

This sounds amazing!!!

[frail yarrow]

I'll be over here resting my ankles and coughing while in bed. Stupid Covid-19 that I got literally the last few hours of the Lindsey cruise!!!!

[fleet mist]

I have 0 voice and am not confident i will have a voice come Tuesday when I have to work

My throat feels bad and its my own fault lol

[bright seal]

Killswitch Engage.

[warm kestrel]

Yay!

[bright seal]

Shadows Fall and Fit For a King are playing as well. Gonna be a blast!

[warm kestrel]

Yay! Saw them in France on the euro leg of the tour. Was great!

[bright seal]

Sweet. Today is the close of the tour. Brand new venue that opened just a couple weeks ago at the beach. Can't wait.

[tulip juniper]

Oh no you got Covid ? Crap. I’m so sorry Connie 😔.

[frail yarrow]

Yup, full blown positive test last night right after getting home from the Pittsburgh, PA airport.

If any of you 3 feel sick then take a covid test!

[tulip juniper]

Geez 🙄. I wish Covid wasn’t a thing anymore 😩

[tulip juniper]

I hope you get better fast !

[frail yarrow]

Me too!!!! This is the 3rd time of me getting it! And the 2nd time of me getting it after coming home from a Lindsey concert/cruise!!!!

[warm kestrel]

One more hour of wait for me before boarding the plane then I arrive tomorrow at 7am 😂

[frail yarrow]

Right now its just coughing/ a headache and stuffy/runny nose.

[tulip juniper]

That’s too many times to deal with that. That really sucks 😢

[frail yarrow]

Also I forgot your real names again. Sorry 😅😅

[fleet mist]

Travel safe Margot!

[tulip juniper]

Sophia says she wants me to tell you that she hopes you feel better real soon.

[frail yarrow]

Ohhh tell her thank you soooo much!!!!

[tulip juniper]

Oh I’m Lily or Elizabeth whatever name you like better you can call me, and Ben is my husband and Sophia is my daughter.

[warm kestrel]

Thank you 🤗

[frail yarrow]

Ohhh ok then! Thank you for telling me again!

[frail yarrow]

Good luck and travel safely Margot!!!!

[wooden ocean]

Fly safe!! The better 🧀 awaits you at home lol

[tulip juniper]

Yeah absolutely! I understand, I can’t ever remember names.

[fleet mist]

Names are hrd sometimes

And we all had a LOT happend

[tulip juniper]

Yes! especially uncommon ones

[fleet mist]

Sorry for typos- tired af

[frail yarrow]

I will probably take a nap soon since I am sick in bed anyways.

[tulip juniper]

I do typos so much even when I’m not tired. lol 😆

[fleet mist]

I am starting to feel the weight of things and still need to get home and have to work Tuesday 😭🥲

[tulip juniper]

I hope the rest really helps !

[fleet mist]

I might have to call out Tuesday but am too scared to since my general manager is being ugh

[fleet mist]

Same though sometimes I send before I think 🤣

[frail yarrow]

I get that! It definitely happens with managers and regular workers.

[tulip juniper]

Oh Geez that’s rough to have to be slammed back into reality with work right after vacation. Sorry Liv ! 🙁

[fleet mist]

I also dont get in my door home till 6:30 tomorrow and have to work at 9 am the next day 🥲

[frail yarrow]

But because of all this resting since last night, my left ankle is hardly swelled at all now!!!!

[fleet mist]

But if its too much I'm calling off Wednesday.

[tulip juniper]

Oh that’s good !! 😃

[dim yew]

Finally at home... I left my cabin 7:30 am and it's now 3:46 pm so 32h total?
Alarm for work tomorrow in 7h

[frail yarrow]

My ankle is still very pink tho, maybe sunburnt too?? 🤔

[fleet mist]

Big hugs to yeah

[tulip juniper]

Yikes ! 😞

[fleet mist]

I'm honestly hoping this bobbing and swaying goes away by the time I have to get on the plane tomorrow-

I'm apparently not meant to be on land

my period doesn't help. I'm scared to fly tomorrow lol

[tulip juniper]

Oh no ! That sounds so annoying

[frail yarrow]

Ok merperson Liv!!! Let's get you back to the water!!! 🌊🧜‍♀️🧜

[fleet mist]

LOL

[tulip juniper]

You are Land sick !

[fleet mist]

Right 🤣🤣🤣

[frail yarrow]

Stupid period!!! Here I thought that would be me starting my period like before we even were on the Lindsey cruise ship. That's why I kept using the bathroom sooo much while we were in the hotel room. Kept checking.....just in case!!!

[warm kestrel]

This is the only reason that makes me want to arrive so soon lol

[tulip juniper]

Im an HSP and so surprised I didn’t have a reaction like this too !

[frail yarrow]

HSP??

[fleet mist]

It sucked when I started it 🥲

[tulip juniper]

Oh that means HIghly Sensitive Person! I get overstimulated and react to the even the smallest changes

[fleet mist]

I'm glad you didnt have the same reaction! It feels too weird 😭

[frail yarrow]

I was sooo glad that I got to talk to all 3 of you tho. I really enjoyed every second of it!!!! I also don't always take changes well. Maybe I have it too??

[tulip juniper]

Ohhh no ! I’m so sorry, yeah that sounds very uncomfortable!

[fleet mist]

It is. But. I will be okay. It's probably more of a coming down from being constantly over stimulated for 5 days straight. I'm probably going to be so sick come Tuesday

[tulip juniper]

Yes so so happy I got to meet you ! The whole thing feels like a dream. I haven’t made new friends for like twenty years and it just felt so amazing. I feel so blessed I got to make new friends. I have a picture of the three of us. I’m going to post it. Ben just needs to help me since I’m a troglodyte ! lol

[frail yarrow]

I'm already sick. Maybe since I am sick, you won''t be!

[fleet mist]

🤷🥲

[tulip juniper]

Oh dear ! I really feel for you ! That is too much overstimulation for sure. Yikes

[frail yarrow]

Yea, even I took small breaks and went back to my cabin for some rest and alone time.

[undone laurel]

Hi everyone it was so amazing to meet you all you're all so awesome

[fleet mist]

I cant say I'm excited about the after effects. I didnt have enough alone time tbh but on the other hand 🥲

[frail yarrow]

Hoping I didn't overstimulate you when we shared a room together.

I tried to not be too annoying.

[tulip juniper]

Oh yeah alone time helps with grounding. True

[fleet mist]

You didnt. And its never just one person or thing dont worry.

[fleet mist]

Mhmm >×<

[tulip juniper]

But then how does one feel grounded on the water anyways. Lol

[tulip juniper]

Yeah I get over stimulated and it’s like that just from lots of everything going on and it usually builds up.

[fleet mist]

Yeeeaaahhh... we saw how that played out for me on the final night...

[tulip juniper]

Awwww, I wanted to make everything better for you right away! Sophia was so sweet she was worrying about you for three hours after it happened. She wanted to make it better for you too. But from my experience with it time is what needs to pass most of the time for things to feel better when overstimulated.

[frail yarrow]

I know I saw how Sophia was trying to emulate the dance moves that Liv was doing while dancing together! I'm over here like: that's soooo sweet!!!!

[fleet mist]

Thank you guys so much for everything that night 😭 you guys really really helped, I promise yall. I really appreciate everything

[tulip juniper]

Oh so glad we could help ! So hard to have to deal with that.

[frail yarrow]

I don't know what all happened and what all they did to help you but I am glad they did!!!!

[fleet mist]

I saw this too. She's super duper sweet. And I absolutely adored the time time I could spend with her!

[tulip juniper]

Awwww yay she adores you so much ! 🥰🥰🥰

[frail yarrow]

I also adore Sophia too! I swear if anyone tried hurting her of taking her I'd be tackling them to the ground! I am very protective of friends kids!!!!

[fleet mist]

Shes such a sweet little kid. Honestly, she's amazing and truly so much fun.

[tulip juniper]

That warms my heart to the depths! She is my everything so having people in her life that want to protect her fills my heart! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[frail yarrow]

I'd do anything to keep her safe with you and your husband! I even tried watching her if she got too far away from you both while dancing.

[fleet mist]

I kept my eye on her the entire time during the silent disco. Big sis mode was engaged.

[tulip juniper]

Awwww this is so sweet 🥲. You have no idea how much that means. Thank you 🙏🙏 so much Connie

[tulip juniper]

Thanks so so very much Liv !!!

[fleet mist]

Not a problem! I wanted to make sure she was okay at all times!

[tulip juniper]

I feel like you guys are her earthly guardian angels 👼

[tulip juniper]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[frail yarrow]

If we're all ever together again, you better believe me and Liv will watch Sophia for you! No one is hurting her on our watch!!!!!!!!

[fleet mist]

Can't help it when big sis mode turns on! She so fun and honestly just like. Like a little sister kind of? 😅

[frail yarrow]

Plus, I did feel safer with Lindsey/her family and her bodyguards around too on the dance floor! I'm sure they would have intervened if they saw anything sketchy going on.

[tulip juniper]

Awwww Thanks so much!!! I really hope we can have a reunion !!!! We have too !!!!!!

[tulip juniper]

Yes for sure !!!!

[fleet mist]

Same here for the short time before I had that little anxiety attack

[tulip juniper]

When you told me you got shoved. I felt so bad for you. That alone would have caused me to panic so much!!!

[frail yarrow]

And when I was on the elevator one time with one of the security ladies, she told us herself that she was a actual soldier in training soooo they did not mess around with safety issues either!!!!

[frail yarrow]

I didn't know that happened. Sorry Liv!!!!

[tulip juniper]

Ohhhh wow !!🤩 That’s good to know they are very safe with everything in the cruise !!!

[fleet mist]

I felt a bit better for a second after seeing Lindsey recognize me and dance with me. But then like. Wave of people and 🫠

[frail yarrow]

Yea she even had a little soldier themed rubber ducky stuck to her walkie talkie!!! It was cute!!!

[tulip juniper]

It sucks when you like many thoughtful people get hurt by people who are just not thinking. I get they were excited about Lindsey but people need to be careful !

[fleet mist]

Exactly!!! I'm small so its easy to by pass me sometimes

[tulip juniper]

Yes for sure !!!!!

[tulip juniper]

I love that you and Sophia have the same size feet 🦶

[fleet mist]

Right?! 🤣🤣🤣

That was hilarious

[tulip juniper]

Oh wow !! That’s so so cool 😎

[tulip juniper]

Yes !!! I was like oh my gosh LIv has the cutest feet in the world!!

[fleet mist]

Haha!

[tulip juniper]

My feet were a size ten when I was ten ! In women’s shoes !

lol

[fleet mist]

Oh my goodness!!!

I've always been small

[tulip juniper]

@frail yarrow I hope you have a good nap and you feel better so soon.

[frail yarrow]

Thank you sooo much!!!

I wear size 8.5 womens shoes or size 9+ when my left ankle swells up.

Actually its usually size 9 right now.

[tulip juniper]

Hopefully your body has the immunity from all the times you have had it and it goes away real fast !

[frail yarrow]

Right now its mostly the headache bothering me. Even with my lights off in my bedroom.

[tulip juniper]

Oh no !!! 😬

Oh dear. Are you on Ibruprofen or Aleve ?

[fleet mist]

I'm checked in for my flight

[frail yarrow]

I'll probably take some Tylenol. I once took kids Motrin(which I think is like Aleve), when I was 6 years old and the next morning I had my first seizure in my sleep. My mom told me after that to never take the ingredient in those ever again!

[tulip juniper]

Holy smokes ! That’s so scary !

[frail yarrow]

It really was!!!

[tulip juniper]

I wouldn’t ever take it again either !

[frail yarrow]

How are you guys after the Lindsey cruise @tulip juniper? Are you all feeling better?

[tulip juniper]

Im sooo tired lol. And pmsing but grateful I got almost nine hours of sleep. I feel so so bad for Ben though. He had to go to the doctor to get his cyst fixed !

[tulip juniper]

He has to go back tomorrow for a final treatment on it tomorrow

[frail yarrow]

Woow!!! I'm sorry you guys are going through all that!

I just took some Tylenol for my headache a few minutes ago.

[tulip juniper]

Thanks 🙏 I’ll feel relieved when Ben feels relieved of that cyst !!

[tulip juniper]

Glad he went right away to get treatment !
