09/28/2002 Cruise

[mlshields]

Eshannon - William can hang out with my kids Ryan (8) and Paige (6). They will meet him at the Radisson Friday night and they will both be going to the camp during brunch. On our last cruise, we literally had to drag Paige out of camp each night!

See you in three days!

My last pre-cruise post. [sniff] We're off to Detroit tonight with an early flight tomorrow morning. 3 days at USF before Saturday's departure. Most everything's packed, the van will get loaded this afternoon. I love NWA - I've already printed off our boarding passes and we can check the luggage curbside at DTW. We get off the shuttle van and head straight for the gate.

See you on Saturday.

- Mike

Just looked up the space shuttle.

But as we all know, that is subject to change!

EVERYONE THAT IS FLYING ... Have a safe trip and when you land in Florida, you may want to take some aspirin for your arms, cause I'm sure all that flapping made them sore (hehe)

EVERYONE THAT IS DRIVING ... Buckle up and watch out for the other guy, especially if he has one of those fancy flashing lights on his roof (hehe)

OMG ... I think the "funk" has finally lifted. Guess it's cause if it's not done or packed by now ... there's always a Walmart on the way (hehe).

Elaine and Lauren -- my kids will also be at the Radisson mini-meet and they will be at the club during brunch.

I went looking for an over the door shoe holder. Linens and things wanted $14.99 for one. It is nice -- canvas, but I was hoping for something cheaper. Any suggestions?

 

[@GoofyNut]

Beth ... for the over the door thingy, try WalMart or K-Mart ... About $6 cloth back and clear plastic front pockets so you can see what is in there! They're near the clothes hangers and shoe racks etc.

Boy! Is excitement in the air or what with this thread!!! Everyone have safe journeys down to Florida and a fun and fabulous cruise.

Beth - DEFINITELY wear your shirts when boarding. Last year most everyone wore their Cruisetoberfest shirts and everywhere we went people were commenting on them - "are you with a family reunion - we are seeing a lot of those shirts around?" And it helps you in locating others in the group. I was in the elevator going up and through the glass window saw a fellow Cruisetoberfester wearing the same shirt and we got all excited waving to each other through the window - didn't find out until later who it actually was (susan514) - It was great fun!!!

Mike - Hope you are feeling better. What is Katie going to do with Grandma and Grandpa gone a week? OMG - Do you think she will remember you guys when you return? Have a great cruise.

Again- safe and fun trips to all. I am SOOO jealous!!

Another work day done! One more to go

I spent this afternoon getting re-certified in CPR..mind numbing!!!!
I DO NOT plan on using this skill while cruiseing!

Rosemary, I sure wish you were sailing with us

Lauren and Beth..my kids will also be at the Radisson and the clubs!

Cathy and Art, have a safe drive to Florida! Don't stop at too many Wal-Marts!!LOL!

 

[Suey70]

Hello Everyone, I have one more day of work, I took thursday off so I can get everything done to leave on Friday morning. We will be driving for about 3 hours. But knowing us, we might not leave first thing in the morning. I hope Lilly stays far away from us, I am not too concerned about Isadore.

Cathy, thanks you for the iron on transfers. That was very nice of you to send in such a short period of time. I see there are three DIS Cruisers on one transfer, is that supposed to be for each t-shirt? Also, is everyone wearing white or blue t-shirts? If it is blue, what shade? Sorry for all the questions.

Well guys, I am off to finish up on somethings. TTFN

 

[RellingTwin]

IF BY SOME CHANCE WE ARE "RAINED OUT" OF OUR SAIL-A-WAY PARTY....LETS ALL MEET IN THE ESPN LOUNGE AT 4:30!!!

I am trying to stay positive but would hate to miss meeting everyone if the sail-a-way party is moved indoors.

Suey...some have white shirts, some light blue, some (me) yellow!

Beth,

Let me know if you can't find one. I will be going to Wal*Mart one last time tomorrow. I bought mine there for under $6.00. Since we are neighbors, I know where to find you!

I need to have my head examined. In the midst of all our packing and everything else we are doing to build the new house and sell the old one, we have added one more thing. We are having the carpet replaced tomorrow. Yes, my living room is sitting in my kitchen, and my son's bedroom is sitting in our bedroom to only be moved half way through the day tomorrow. I may have a nervous breakdown before I get on the plane the day after tomorrow. Yes, I have one day to get new carpeting, finishing packing and put my house in order so it will hopefully sell while we are on vacation!

Any head shrinkers out there?

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

On a positive note, I did get the transfers put on the t-shirts. They are so cute! I feel very proud of myself. I was half afraid we would be the family with the transfers held on with safety pins!

 

[Twinave]

Suey70: Our t-shirts are white, logos on the front, and wearing them ALL DAY Saterday!
One more day at work for me.
Thursday I get my first ever pedicure, pick-up DH Tux, wash the mini-van, and pack. Maybe One More trip to Wal-mart.
I say come on huricanes! Maybe enough people will back out, so that we get upgraded to a room with a window.

Hang on everyone, Sat. is only 4 days away.

Little Later, Ave'

HAS TIME STOOD STILL FOR ANYONE ELSE?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

I am packed and ready to go and still have to wait until Friday!!!!

I don't know if I am going to make it

Everyone who is leaving soon, safe trip - can't wait to meet you.

Everyone else, Happy waiting - I am sure I will be checking in 100x's a day for the next two!!!

Lauren

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

Lauren,

Can you come help me pack?

 

[Beth E. (NJ)]

Vonda -- thank you so much for offering to pick the shoe holder up for me! That would be great -- and it's true you will know exactly where to find me.

I am getting excited and nervous at the same time. Can't decide if watching the Weather Channel is a good thing or not.

Bought t-shirts today. Light blue for the kids and white or natural for DH and I. Have to decide which color to go with and then I'm returning the other color.

 

[Twinave]

Mary, Like your idea of meeting at ESPN in case of rain. But one problem, some of the group have already left for Fl. How can we reach them if we get rained out? Later.

 

[peagreenid]

Did you ever get a response from Eagle Ray divers? or was your email returned to you like mine.....
