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

[scottie]

Not sure why, but I am sitting in front of the computer now putting my game plan togther for my SouthWest Online Check In this Thursday at 1:20pm sharp! I think I will open at least five browsers to try to get in as early as possible!
Just too much excitement building up for the trip!

Also- I was reading about some earplugs that are supposed to work good on planes for kids (and adults) they are called EarPlanes Ear Plugs. You can take a look at them on the drugstore.com site. I am going to swing by walmart tomorrow and likely pickup a pair for our youngest.

I have to agree that the wait may be starting to get to me too. I have been waking up in the middle of the night the last few nights and not being able to go back to sleep. I cannot wait. Just a few short days and I will be in WDW getting ready to head out in the AM. I am sooooo ready. Sadly I am not even close to packed. I am really bad about waiting until the last minute.

As for the DVR's! I have a Comcast Cable DVR and it is truely the best invention on the planet. I have no idea how people got through life without one before. Although it has created a monster because now I watch way too many shows. I have 20 some episodes to watch to catch up and I have no idea how that is ever going to happen... LOL

Well, there's always summer to do all the catching up. I dunno..for me, there just aren't a lot of shows to watch during the summer....

Hey all. I'll be on this cruise too. I'm just not entirely sure of the schedule for this cruise (only did Western in the past)... as in when is formal and semi-formal nights, when is pirate party, etc. Do you guys have this info or know a link to it for this cruise? Sorry if it's been discussed, I just had trouble with searching these boards. Thanks so much!!

The extended extended forecast looks unpromising for the carribean next week. Lets all say a prayer to the rain gods to hold off until we leave Good news for all spending time in Orlando this week.... hot and sunny

I soooooo hope we have that magic Disney bubble follow us and protect us from any bad weather! I don’t mind a quick shower here and there but I would be so disappointed if our whole days at the islands are turned upside down with continuous rain

I use the Airplane Ears everytime I fly. I picked me up some this week for our flight on Friday am. My ears use to hurt really bad when I fly, but someone told me about them I went to Walmart bought a pair and my ears haven't bothered me since....
The time is getting really close for us to leave and I can't wait. this is my last full day of work. I am only working a half day tomorrow i have alot of little things to do before we leave out of New Orleans on Friday am. See ya'll all on Saturday....

Thanks for the info... I will head over now to see if I can pick up a pair or two!

I am out of the office at 3pm tomorrow so I can get the grass mowed and a hair cut- plus all the other packing I failed to do finished!

We have all of our errands done for the trip. Hubby is at the bank right now getting our Canadian money changed over into the US funny money. The exchange is going to kill us. Oh well, we will make do. All of the suitcases are packed, with the exception of the last minute stuff. Now all we have to do is wait until Friday morning. The time could not drag on any slower.

It is raining here today and will be until Monday. I surely hope we don't get rain while we are away. But we will have a blast no matter what we do, or what the weather.

See everyone soon.

Very hot this week. It is going to 94 today and very sunny. No rain in sight until next week. It looks like are embarkation attire will consist of swim suit and t-shirt.

So, I just got our boarding passes for Southwest. We leave in 24 hours. YEAH! Bags are 98% packed and only the last minute items need to be added. I just hope I can get my DD to sleep tonight. She's been very active the last 2 nights. Can't wait to see everyone. We will definitely have our green braclets on starting Friday.

No Luck picking up the EarPlanes ear plugs in childs size at WalMart... they only carry the adult size. Guess I will check RiteAid/Walgreens

Scottie: if you can't find them at Walgreens or Target try the gift shops at the airport I have found them there...

We didn't get the green bracklets we were too late but we will be watching for all of ya'll's

Thanks for the tip. DS has informed me this evening he isnt going to leave them in so we will see how it goes!

Well tonight will be a big packing night for me. I have to get most everything done tonight because the hubby has to work in Miami at 5 am on Friday. That means it's early to bed tomorrow so I won't be able to pack in the room. More Laundry to do and lots of clothing choices to make. I am getting so excited. I can't believe it is soooo close. I was hoping to stay at WDW on Sat night after the cruise, but I think we will be heading home instead. I will be back the following Friday to meet with Friends so I will get my park fix the next weekend.

 

[WILDCATMICKEY]

Southwest boarding passes printed, packed and now ready to go.
