8 days until we get to sail! Another storm is coming into CT tomorrow. Mother nature better just get it out of her system!

Welcome to our newbies. Send me an email or PM and I'll add you to the list and to my personal distribution.

As far as the meets go - you will no doubt meet up with someone in port. That is, as long as people are wearing their 'Mickey Head' name tags. Look for ours on our backpack (kshabare). On the spreadsheet there is a tab for meets. I think we said at 2:00 pm in the Promenade so that everyone can make the lifeboat drill. I think on our Sea day we have one 'planned' for 9:00 am and I recall it's near the Mickey Pool.

Everyone have a great day!

I think Brenda is doing mine, right???? Who was it, I can not add another thing to my list.... So, some of us will not have them in port...

No Kim the keeper, it was 4PM in your room so we can drop the kids for an over night PJ party. Remember you agreed to it way back on page what was that again?????

I can not recall this time, I told you the TINK Family will still be sleeping.. If I recall this was Jen, she is the by the pool person. So maybe we should drop all the kids to her for a pool party....
Everyone have a great day!

Kim

Kim the keeper, Everything will even out by Wednesday of next week says my weatherman kid. He actually has truly mapped out the artic front and where and when it is traveling. He checks on Jen's weather, BJ's weather, Rani's weather and Michelle's weather at least every other day. I can add you to his "list" too.

 

[atinkerbellmom]

Michelle since it looks as if everyone is on the TINK schedule and not the Rani schedule, I do not think we will be hitting 150.

Depending on how much I get done today and tomorrow, We may be able to meet in the park this weekend. A few Tink Rules though....... We are not allowed to be there more than an hour, BJ needs to bring sweaters and everyone needs to first roll clothes for one bag, get their Birthday suites (Not that Mike) you know the clothes for my b-day; hung and ready and then you can meet in the park. Jen, needs to get her tent and smores together first....

Hey speaking of my birthday suites, ours are suppose to arrive today..... Let's hope.... I might need some of my daughter's Pixie Dust sent my way....

Melissa, I hope the DH is feeling better soon! Both my DD & DS have been sick all week too Just hoping that they are 100% better by next week and that myself & DH don't get it next!

 

[Wish-Mom]

We're all so quiet lately. It's the breath holding in anticipation of our trip.

This is headache man but I think he's holding his breath.

There's a winter storm coming through the mid Atlantic tomorrow morning and up to get Kim later in the day. Better now than next week!

8 days.....


Enough said.​

 

[feiste]

I feel as though I am finally getting back on track. Today is my last day of work until March 12th! I spent yesterday pulling out clothes, and doing the try on thing. Went to the store last night and bought new swimsuits and Easter dresses (formal night wear)for DD's. Piled clothes to put in suitcases for myself. and both DD's. Made reservations for a car rental (and a backup) bought the Disney tickets (will be waiting at Will Call). Talked to the teachers at school, sent the absent note to the office, stopped the mail, paid the bills that are due while we are gone. Got package yesterday from DSIL (who lived in Florida until this past week) with 8 different bottles of sunscreen and after-tan lotion. Almost caught up on laundry. Ordered extra video tapes to take w/ on trip.

What is left:
GS cookies come in tonight, and tomorrow. Sort and distribute by Monday.
Final packing which cannot be done until we return from Kalamazoo on Sunday.
DD's are going to birthday parties Saturday and Sunday - today I have to go buy the presents.
Figure out shoes for DD's and myself.
Buy Seabands.
Print off Kim's great list (Thank you Kim!) so that I can find all of you.
Program the TIVO
Buy the s'mores and pack the tent -We're getting close to ready!!!!

Have a great day ALL - and welcome to all who are new!!!

FOR ALL YOU NEW CRUISERS........................

The above picture is Castaway Cay......

Thanks for posting it...... Makes me a little sad though, that means the end of the trip...... Does mean Dessert Buffet though..... Rani can not know......

Jen, I am Happy you are remembering the tent and smores, I was getting a little worried that BJ would not have a place to stay a WEEK FROM TODAY

Okay, off to take the dog to the groomer. Have to get her nails cut and looking pretty for the girl who is taking care of her.... I will clean the house and leave the dog smelling pretty, stock the fridge and pantry, she should be in heaven...... It will be Motel 10 instead of 8.

 

[ranidayz]

Movin' right along.....

Just put the snorkel sets in the suitcase.......

Very excited, folks!

Hey everyone !!

Hello to anyone new that I've missed.

I've really hit the packing hard but I have a problem, I keep running to the store and buying stuff to bring !

This weekend I'm going to try to make our shirts. Plus I'm going to do our nails too.

I also need to find DD a pair of shoes for formal night. I hate taking her shoe shopping she had a shoe problem like I do !

I've got my co-workers covering for me Wednesday so I won't miss my flight. DH and I have a plan for him to have car and child ready to go so when I get home we are ready to head to the airport.

I'll check in later I've got to run to SAM's club and get my contacts so I can better see you with, hehe.

Mic

p.s.

MAD's wife hope everyone is feeling better !! I hope everyone here is feeling better before our cruise !

 

[ranidayz]

So they cancelled school here for ice that rapidly turned into water. I've gotten one full bathroom done and one kid has his room totally done. I'm sitting here looking at suitcases and feeling like I should go clean some more, but have no desire to. So I printed out the KimList, wrote down all the numbers I'm supposed to have and am now officially procrastinating. I figure if I can get everything done except for mopping and last minute laundry and dishwasher done before Sunday -- I'm good to go.....

 

[ejkjmom]

Our board is slowing down...everyone must be busy packing and cleaning LOL!!!!

I have what I describe as an organized mess!!!!! Piles of STUFF, all over our bedroom at least the bed is still clear LOL!!!

I have clothes hanging from whatever I could find to hang stuff on, and my cruise corner pile has grown
Hopefully TOMORROW ( I know.. I keep saying tomorrow) I will start putting stuff in suitcases..I feel I have eveything we need out and ready to go,
I have all my liquids in Ziploc bags..So it is just a matter of getting in the suitcases...

I will be SOOO glad when I'm done packing!!!
God willing..next week at this time, the ejkj family will be in Port Canaveral!!!!!
I revceived an e-mail confirmation for our hotel in Port Canerveral... and it also had the forecast for next weekend ...Friday high 71 and Sat. 74...sounds good to me

Hello All!

I have been reading all your posts for quite some time now and you guys all crack me up. Myself SDH (super darling husband), DW,DD6,DS3 & DS 9mo's will be joining you on the cruise. I almost forgot that my MIL, from Sweden ,will also be joining us. We have 2 inside rooms next to each other on deck 6. We are coming in from Chicago on Friday night and flying back the following Sunday night late. We have been on 4 cruises before but none with the kids. I figured with a week left, I will start joining you because if I started earlier I would never get anything done. I work out of my house and spend enough time goofing off. We started our rough packing last night and I have my lists printed that I have compiled from our previous trips. They work really well. I look forward to cruising with you guys and having a great relaxing trip!!

Holy Crap! I have to pack!!!!! I leave on Tuesday, and wee are out of town this weekend! Why haven't I packed!!!!!!

I haven't packed yet either! In fact, I still have shopping to do!!!! 2 out of 3 kids have been sick with that nasty flu with fever that lasts foreeeeeever and now I am starting to feel yucky too...and this is after I just got over a sinus infection and bronchitis! The whole family has been taking Airborne and Emergen-C so we can be better/stay better before next week! Last year, we were all healthy before but I still made everyone take extra vitamin C the week before. Hopefully, we get the sickies out of the way now and not during cruise time...

I have some shopping done, but normally over-organized me usually has everything mostly done by now...

Trying not to stress.....LOL

Gotta get shopping AND packing!!!

 

[ranidayz]

And on the seventh day...........​

.......we packed.​
