05/09/2009 May 9, 2009 7-Night Eastern St Maarten... Watch Out!

[chubbyjen]

Yay!! I'm finally done with bagging the FE gifts!! Somehow kinda reminded me of getting wedding favors done...

The stomach flu has made it's way through our house!! For the last 3 weekends someone has had the stomach flu. This weekend was my self and my 8 year old daughter. We were the last two to get it. I hope that all of the sickness is gone now! We fly out on Friday morning at 630 am and do not want any of us to be sick! Plus, they wouldn't let us on the boat, they may think we have the swine flu!!

The kiddies are pumped that it is almost time to go.

I was going to bring the boys over today, but not if you sick. We don't need that sickness over here 5 DAYS TILL WE FLY.

You know I felt exactly the same way... LOL.. I still have to print out the tags for the FE gifts and then tie them all closed. Then today I get my hair cut and wash clothes. I also need to finish with the house so that the neighbor that is taking care of my cat won't see the mess that it is in right now.

Just got done packing the FE gift bags up... took a whole carry on size suitcase! Guess we can use that same suitcase to bring stuff back in.
I just need to find a new gift for the four youngest FE groupies, as the one DW picked up I fear may be too big for some FE pockets and dont want to worry about placing it on the floor and someone walking away with it- not that that being placed in an FE is equal to being 100% protected.

I too just got all the FE's done and somehow I finished up all my errands too. The cleaning up part is still a work in progress. In even was able to squeeze in lunch a movie (Wolverine) with the Hubby. All in all it was a pretty good and productive weekend.

Okay - LUCKY! Nat and I would have loved to see Wolverine, but with my family and the caregivers staying here while we're gone to take care of my mom, we had to clean our house for company...I'm still not packed and I did NOTHING but clean and pack this weekend!
Not fair. How was the movie?

Scottie - I just started getting concerned about my FE gift as well...It's not going to fit in the pockets so I'm pretty sure I'll have to come up with an ingenious way of gifting it...
Did I say ingenious? Uh-oh - I may not be able to give them out after all...

Well my nightmare has come true... DW finally started packing this evening and when I walked in I noticed our two 29" cases already full. Silly me I thought it had everyones but mine in there, only to find out it was just two kids and a tiny bit of DWs stuff... YIKES! I reminded her we are only using two other 24" suitcases and thats it for clothing. I think we may use a garment bag for our dressy stuff (if there is someplace to store it on the plane as a carry on) plus the suitcase for the FE gifts I have packed and a duffel bag for misc stuff like shoes, makeup etc.

Sorry to hear about this... hopefully everyone will be in tip-top shape before you fly out!

Had a long day of laundry and packing and it looks like we are ready to go!!! I will double check everything tomorrow to be sure but we cannot wait to leave on Thursday morning. I pray all have safe trips!! See you all soon!

 

[dollysmom]

We are feeling better. But this means I am down 2 days of productivity. I will now have to cram the 6 days I had into the 4 I have left!!!

I have tons of cleaning and laundry to get done. I have the majority of the packing done.

I am just dreading having to get the kids up at 4am Friday to got to the airport. I have a funny feeling my son will not be the most pleasant. Oh well, we all Know that the will all be little darlings on the Mickey Boat?!

Get to work!

4am.... we could never pull that one off! What time does that land you in Orlando?

Quick question... I'm sure they most likely do but... do they have beach towels for use in our room or somewhere on the ship or should we pack our own?

 

[lulu0506]

I just received a voice mail from Disney CM on my cell phone confirming all the Palo and Spa reservations that I made online I thought that it was a nice call but weird that they would call to confirm those things ?? Do they do that for everyone sailing? If so, they must spend a lot of time on the phone.

In any event.... WE ARE LEAVING SOON!! Can't believe the time has come!!

I thought it was really good! It kept me very entertained and since I was never a comic book fan it tied up a lot of things for me about why Logan is that way he is. Plus Hugh Jackman isn't too hard on the eyes for the ladies. LOL... I would say if you really want to see it go. you will enjoy it.

4am.... we could never pull that one off! What time does that land you in Orlando?

Our flight leaves Halifax at 630am and we have a stop over in Toronto and land in Orlando at 1pm. Hopefully somewhere the kids will have a little sleep in there.

I also thought it was a great movie. I have liked Hugh Jackman since I first heard him playing Gaston. I was also happy to see Taylor Kitch from my favorite TV show, Friday Night Lights in a great part (Gambit). But I thought it was a bit interesting that Ryan Reynolds and Domonic Monoghan (sp?) both had parts that were killed off early on. Funny to have some fairly big actors in small parts. I was really impressed that they found someone to play the young Scott who REALLY looked like a young James Marsden.

Really enjoyed the film. I now wish I could figure out how to see Star Trek the Friday before we leave. It looks like the 1130 show at AMC Pleasure Island is either sold out of for some other reason not available online.
