Ok, now to catch up with the posts! Were there others who were wanting to participate in the FE that didn't make the final FE list? We'll have some extras and would love to drop off something in your FE... did someone compile the list of those? If so, can you PM it to me?
We are heading into finals week for school - thankfully both boys have done well so no cramming for exams this weekend. Instead, I'm beginning the packing list and hoping to not overpack. Can't wait til next weekend when we can get a look at the 10-day forecast for Vancouver.
I printed out our cruise contract signed form but can't find where I put it. Gotta get it this week (I can always reprint it and re-sign it). I have the rest of the cruise documents and hotel / travel info ready. We'll check in for our flight the day before, and I'm hoping that for the return flight,
DCL can help us with that - anyone know?
I still need to stop the mail, call the credit card companies and bank, and alert the neighbor who will be watching the house. I'm winding things down at work so that I won't have to work late the last night - I hate that!
I have a couple of friends from another Disney travel related email group I am on that will be sailing with us - is it ok if I tell them to come on by the DISBoards meet on Tuesday? There's also a couple who are traveling with us who never did get online - I'm going to have them come with us to meet everyone, too. I just find that getting acquainted with fellow passengers - whether I've "known" them for months like on a meet thread or just meet them randomly onboard - makes the journey even more magical (or in this case, Wonderful!).
I was ironing DS13's tux to put in his closet til next year's band concerts and had a brief moment of thinking I should pack it for him - but we aren't doing formal night... I think if it were just me and him traveling, he'd do it for me.
Someone asked about Father's Day onboard- I know they had special things for Mother's Day, so I hope they have them for Father's Day as well. And I just realized that we'll be sailing for Father's Day next summer, too! Nice thing about Father's Day this year is that we don't get into port until mid-day so no early morning rush out the door - DH can sleep in and enjoy. I did have the boys go ahead and get a Father's Day card to bring with us! And DS14's birthday is on Thursday while we're on board so I have to plan for that as well.
We're going to see POTC4 on Monday but only in 2D as we figure we can see it again in 3D on board. Several other movies are supposed to be showing according to our TA who checked with DCL (always subject to change). I hate that we'll miss the premier of Cars 2 by just a few days. Of course I can't remember all the movies she said, but Tangled, Secretariat, I Am 4, You Again, POTC4 were some of them. African Cats, too.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon! Is anyone bringing name tags for the Meet and Greet? If not, I'll see if I can scrounge some up to bring.
