[O'BWV]

Oh, I made it on the top again with the list!



Jude - I second the opinion that it is an honor and a privilege to sail with you and your family. Thanks for yours and your family's sacrifice.



Tina - Where are you?

Linda - How are you and the pup?


Safe travelling to all of you leaving tomorrow! See you in a few days!

Jude: Don't fret about the formal thing. I bought a dress on e-bay for formal night & am bringing an old black dress for semi-formal. Steve did rent a tux on the boat because he didn't want to lug a suit along & I didn't want to have to press it.

Thanks to everyone for all your help and suggestions.
See you soon!

Welcome Jude. I'm impressed that you booked 5 days from the cruise and are packed too.

I'm stressing myself over whether to fly or drive. At 4 pm, I was definitely driving and now, I'm probably back flying. I started packing and am 10% done
.

Doreen - do you think they'll search my carry on with all the LS jewelry in it??? Maybe I should pack your catalog in case the luggage checkers want to book a party?

I'm tired. Hope everyone who is leaving tomorrow has a safe journey.

Terry - I am so excited we got the APLAPLA rotation and that it is 8PM.

Everything is packed and I have some room (thanks to those space bags!!)

I called Southwest Airlines today and they said I can have 3 checked in luggage along with one carryon.

Can you believe it is this week!!!!

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Hey Bev--Jude said she booked this cruise back in January 2005, she just joined the DIS last night. There was another family that just booked this cruise today, they are friends of Joyce (famof8).

I'm hoping to be able to at least sleep until 6am tomorrow morning, LOL!!!

I told Hazel watch us all oversleep on Thursday morning, and the shuttle van driver will be knocking (we don't have a doorbell) on our door like the first Home Alone movie, LOL!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Hey, I just noticed that I'm coming up to my 11,000th post, will I make it by Thursday morning???

I hit my 10,000th post just after returning home from our May cruise, three months ago.

 

[kap158]

Andy - If you need a wake up call let me know. I am always up at 3am.

 

[kap158]

I am setting 3 alarms so I don't oversleep and I am sure my sisters will call me to make sure I am awake. I will be setting the coffee maker also(my last cup of Eight O'Clock) until I get back home on the 31st!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Andy - If you need a wake up call let me know. I am always up at 3am.

Knowing me, I will be up before the rises in the east, LOL!!!

 

[PaulaM]

How did you find out your dining rotation??

 

[O'BWV]

Hi Paula! Usually you find out your dining rotation when you check in at the terminal. It's on your KTTW card. I think Terry mentioned group booking which she was working with on all the Palo private dining room meals,maybe this is how she found out (Terry, correct me if I'm wrong) Anyway, how is your packing going? Believe it or not, my rolling duffle bag is ripped and I have to go buy a new one tomorrow night. Will the shopping ever end!

Mare

You are so lucky to have that dining rotation...it falls perfectly with all the theme nights, like formal and pirate night. I really hope we have that rotation, but we won't know until we get on the ship.
