Yes, we'll be in St. Thomas on Wednesday. What are you guys going to be booking?

Dr. Cavin and Verandah Man, I'm glad your days are going fast because ours seem soooo slow! We only have 8 days until our plane ride south, but these last few days have seemed like 48 hours each.

Littlebunny, I use the gallon size zipper bags. I pack an outfit with socks and underwear, squeeze the air out and zip. They shrink to almost nothing. I have bigger ones for the larger size stuff too. I always pack a couple extra outfits on each vacation. I just throw one zip locked outfit for each of the kids in our back pack when we are out and about and know the clothes will be dry and clean if the kids need extra clothes. They seem to always find a sprinkler of some sort where ever we go! We then stick their wet stuff back in the just emptied zip locks and that helps keep the rest of our junk in the back pack dry.

Off to baseball...

I'm going to book this if they have any openings. DS is only 4, so he can't go on most of the DCL ones we're interested in.

JODIFLA - I made a welcome aboard sign, I will send it over so you can see it.

I will check in again later today.

Thanks, Carolyn!

I feel like the tortoise and the hare when it comes to packing. I did a bunch of stuff in advance, but now I can't find my hat, I want to get some jewelry repaired before we go, etc. etc.

I printed up the dry cleaning prices. You can try the following link:
http://disboards.com/showpost.php?p=10054885&postcount=4

To press clothing is half the price to clean it, so to press a man's shirt is $1.50 picked up by 9a, back the next day by 5p. Same day service is 50% add'l, call for pickup and returned in 3 hrs is 100% of fee.

The post contains dry cleaning as well as laundry prices.

OK, this is my first attempt at blogging. I started a blog on my website for our upcoming cruise on the Magic. I'm hoping to add some "LIVE" reports from the ship to my blog. If you would like to check it out, you can click on this link: Verandah Man's Cruise Blog

Verandah Man I loved your website! I'd never been to it before and it was so much fun reading your trip report from 2003! You've done a great job with your website and I really love the background music! Oh by the way I forgot to ask you, How old is your neice? Is she a little girl?

Well, not that little, she is celebrating her 30th birthday during our cruise. She does have "two little girls" of her own that she will be bringing on the cruise with her, and oh yea, her DH will be coming also!!!

bxirishrn: Thanks for the price list for drycleaning/laundry! That is awesome! I was going to take my husband's suit before we go, but now I'm just going to have it done there. All his shirts can go too. Less ironing for me

Our dd is 5.5 and will be at the Oceaneer's Club too. She will love making friends with the 7ish crowd! She plays with all the older girls on our block.

Oh, we just watched our WDW video from last year and our dd just snuck her long princess gloves into her suitcase to go with her Belle dress because that is what she wore in the parade! Ha Ha!!

It is sooooo great to say our cruise is next week!!!

 

[arndtge]

Hi Tsirgey, BPD196 and bxirishrn!

My DD is 5.5 also and will be going to the oceaneer's club, too. My DS, who is 6.5 will be going with her....although Megan prefers to play with other girls and Matthew loves to play on the computer .


Can't wait to meet everyone!!

Hi Tsirgey, Arndtge and bxirishrn!

My DD-7 was so excited to type her first post.

Yes, she and my other DD 4.5 will be in the club.
They can't wait to make new friends.
We are looking forward to meeting everyone too.
