Sharon...sincere sympathy on your loss...I know that she has been suffering. Please let us know if you need anything. Mary Jo

Mary...Relling Twin...I just pm'd you!
 

Sharon, our sincere sympathy on your Grandmother's passing. Just keep thinking about your good times with her and rst assured that she is no longer suffering.

I was finishing up packing last night and couldn't sleep so I stayed up till 4 AM and actually got done. Just have to stuff the car tonite and some dusting and vacumning of the house and off to bed so we can get an early start tomorrow.

Meanwhile ... back to work!
 
Renee ... Just got word that you can add Mike & Kathy and Art & Cathy to the Pineapple Beach Day. YIPEE!

She just confirmed with me.

Back to work (But only for 5 more hours!)
 
Ok, I need some advice. I was on the Wonder last year, and can't remember what the hairdryers were like in the staterooms. How many of you are bringing your own?
Also, does anyone remember how popular it is for girls to wear the "princess" costumes? Can you wear them to dinner? I know my DD6 would look cute in hers, but my DD10(turning 11) wants to wear one also. Part of me thinks she might be too "old" for that, and part of me thinks I need to enjoy her being a "little girl" just a little longer. Any thoughts??? I picked up the dresses at Party City the other day, but haven't told the girls about them yet in case I decide to return them, but I guess I could use them for Halloween.
Next, are any of you bringing your own snorkle sets? I found them on clearance 50%off at Target. I thought we could use them on the beaches of St. Thomas, Antigua, and CC(in the off chance we get there, of course). We're just doing maybe Coki beach on St. Thomas, and we're taking the St. Lawrence tour on Antigua (where he'll take us to a beach).
Next, how do we get a soft cooler on board? I know that we're not supposed to have personal coolers, but some posts suggest packing lunch from room service and taking it on our excursions. So, do we need to use the cooler as a piece of luggage? or pack it?
Sorry for so many questions, I'm in the middle of packing.:crazy:
Thanks!!!!!
Regards,
Laura
 
Laura,

I've used the hairdryer onboard each year, but my hair is a bit shorter this year so I'm bringing my own. From what I've seen, it's kind of a mixed bag whether to bring your own.

Don't know about the princess: dresses as we have no need for them :teeth:

We bought our own snorkel sets this time. Just a mask and snorkel, figure we can use the fins the excursions provide or go without at CC (if we make it there :( ). Last year our masks fit very poorly and we spent as much time getting water out as we did snorkeling. We even tried the vaseline trick but nothing worked. We'll be snorkeling every where we go, so figured it is worth it.

As for the cooler, I have a small 6 pack soft sided cooler which I just pack in my suitcase.

Laura,

I don't like the hair dryers in the staterooms so I bring my own.

My DD, Haley, is going to wear her Belle and Cinderella princess dresses to dinner this year. Last year she did the same thing (I got a great deal on them at the DS and wound up getting her one for each night). I think all the little girls look so pretty in those dresses. I would say it they want to wear them, then let them. You can get some great pics of them all dressed up too. I spent a fortune on all the pics I bought from Shutters since they all came out so nice, and I probably will again this time.

Laura...if DD (10) wants to wear her Princess dress, I would say to let her wear it....you're never too old to be a princess!! Kids grow up so quick...I remember fondly buying dresses for Sarah to wear and now I can't buy her anything because her taste and mine are completely different...I'll pick something out and she just rolls her eyes like..you really don't expect me to wear that?

Is there anyone else who isn't packed? I plan on doing mine on Thursday night and early Friday morning!! Going with DD for a haircut tonight...the lady that we go to charges $9.00 for a cut and color and $4.00 for Sarah's haircut...can't beat it!!

Doctor phoned in an RX for me today...Sarah had a cold and graciously passed it along to me....mine seems to have settled in my chest and it is starting to hurt when I cough so I figured that it was time to call the doctor...just in case.
 
Hi everyone!! Is anyone else so excited that they could just BUST!!!! We are all packed, I have one day left of work, house is clean... I can't think of anything else I need to do!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: I really don't know how Pete is going to be able to live with me for the next couple of days!!!!
 
Hi Jen,

Glad to see you posting. I'm so excited too. Two more days of work for us and we're outta here!
