we're also at harbor house but won't get there until probably midnight tomorrow so doubt we'll be up to see the ship come in as we'll be on California time!

One thing to note. We have friends at WDW right now. They are telling me it is crazy busy, and it's not even the presidents week yet. So plan accordingly, but I have been lowering my kids expectations of how many rides they will be able to do.

It sounds like you're like me. There seem to still be so many little things to do and yet I'm stuck just kind of waiting, trying to figure out what they are. I'm packing now (in between meetings...nice thing about working from home) but DD6 has Girl Scouts tonight and we're leaving tomorrow when she gets out of school. We won't get to Houston until around 8 and both my dad and my mom (they're divorced but both live in Houston) want to see the girls for Valentine's Day. I know they got them stuff for the trip for V-day but my kids are usually in bed by 7:30 and we have to be up at 6 to get read to head to the ship!! I don't know how I'm going to have time to do everything in the next 48 hours when so many things are taking up my time. Well dang....I think we both need some Prozac! Maybe some should have come with our cruise documentation!!

I think somebody said they are heated when it gets below a certain temp... Now I can't remember what temp that was. But to me, it doesn't matter how warm the water is -- it's getting out that is the killer, lol. I'm sure you're right in that it won't matter to your grandkids... One time at Castaway Cay, that water was so dang cold my son's lips were blue! Didn't bother him for a second. I, however, was huddled under three beach towels, lol.Our sailaway weather is looking so good, I am beside myself. Mostly sunny and upper 60's, and just like my "personal met" said, we'll be missing the cold front by around 12 hours -- It's going to be 10 degrees cooler on Saturday. That would make for a much chillier sailaway!! Ours is going to be stellar.  One more hour of work today... I swear the clock is going backwards every time I look at it!!  -gina- |

I'm in Galveston!
Long 2 days of driving, but I am now relaxing in the hotel looking out the window and can still make out the gulf in the dark. I couldn't sleep at all in the hotel last night on the way here. My DS 5 shard my bed and about 3am I wondered why he had not yelled at me yet for flopping all around! I am so excited! Hoping to be able to sleep more tonight now that I am here. Loved the Disney stories and picture of Tyler Dean. Can hardly wait to meet everyone on Friday. Beth

WShop, do you know your cabin number?
I am trying to finish up our FEE gifts and would love to write your cabin number on the gift tag now instead of trying to track you down on the ship!

Planning to walk along the beach tomorrow and may go on the Duck tour if they are offering it. Will call them in the morning. My youngest found a brochure on an aquarium, but I have not looked at it yet. Tonight we went for sea food and it sure was YUMMY! I never did catch the name of the place. Just a little local place that we stumbled on.

So excited, we leave tomorrow and keeping our fingers crossed that the weather is ok for the flights. Can't wait to get on that ship! My boys are looking forward to meeting new friends to hang with (and so are the girls!).
Gina, such a cute pic of your son - my kids have grown up on the ships too and that pic reminds me how quickly they grow! Makes me a little sad, lol. Wishing everyone safe travels and we will see you on the ship!!!!! Beth

I'm not even sure why. We're basically packed, except for last minute stuff, but I'm sure I'll still forget something. I'm never this done this far ahead, and I still feel out of control. I feel like I'm forgetting to do something, but I don't know what. My house is a disaster, but with all our cats it will be much worse when we get home. Two of the cats have been sick, but seem to be doing better now. I think this is what is stressing me. What if they get sicker while we are away? 
Our cat-sitter is great, but if they are sick they will hide and he won't see them. And we are completely out of reach for all but 2 days. I'm thinking that maybe we shouldn't go now, but I don't think my travel insurance covers pet illness. 
I'm usually thrilled to get away, but today i just want to sit down and cry. 
Of course, I haven't had much sleep this week either. 
Of course, that's why we have two big suitcases, one medium, one pilot case, one carryon tote, and a garment bag for two people... LOL. And I still have crap I need to cram in there somehow!!
