10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread #29

Good Morning from cold, rainy Kansas! It's supposed to get back into the 60's tomorrow (I hope).

I've had my coffee and Yoplait - I'm going to get Hagan off to the bus & get ready for work!!

We're doing the Single Digit Dance!! DH finally asked last night what he needed to pack!

Have a great day everyone.

 

[KSFrogge]

Good Morning FO!

 

[goslingl]

We'll all have to sample a bottle one evening

That is a date!

Good Morning All. We have just 7 days until we leave our house. The excitement at the Joseph's is palpable. Whereas they kids would often forget for two or three days to cut links off the countdown chain, they are now both going crazy every day when a new link is cut. Today is my last day off before vacation. I'm planning to get most of my last minute stuff done.

I called FL Tours the other day and they were very accomodating, we wanted to have a bottle of Martinelli's for the Limo ride and one for onboard the ship. (I looked into the cost of buying on board and it was pretty steep.) They told me that they'd have two cold ones wait on the Limo for us. ($15 which was not exactly cheap but at least I don't have to lug it around with me through airports.) I'll be arriving at the port a bit later than I thought as well. It turns out that their vehicles will all be busy transporting people from the Magic to the airport and WDW all that morning and so they hold their traffic from WDW to Port until 10am (makes sense, really) So, we'll probably be arriving at the port between 11am and 11:15. Still better than Disney Transportation was going to do.

I got selected for the second round of the Walt Disney World Mom's Panel. I was shocked. I figure there we far more literate people than I. But I got the e-mail yesterday. Sometime today I'll screw up the courage to answer the second round of essay questions. Here's my problem with continuing on with the panel. The training session at WDW is from Dec 4-8 the same weekend as opening day on Christmas tree lane. Which means that I either have everything done in advance this year (making my schedule even tighter than it was, or, delay the lighting of my lights until I return, which is kind of a bummer. Still, I don't really want to miss out on a great adventure if I don't have to. Decisions, Decisions...

Good morning all!!

It's dreary and threatening to rain here in Virginia today - which makes me SOOOO happy - all the better weather to look forward to in the Caribbean!

I was so excited and can't concentrate, so I made up a song for us to sing.... It's to the tune of "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus:

Counting down the days till we get on the cruise with our BoB friends all around,
As of today it’s only 10 days till we see and hear that sound,
There’s no need to FE-AR, Underdog is HE-RE,
Look to my right, and I see the Magic in the Port

This is all so crazy, everyone seems so familiar
My tummy’s turning and I’m feeling kinda excited
Too much excitement and I’m nervous
That’s when the shuttle driver turned on the radio

And the Cruisin Song was on
And the Cruisin Song was on
And the Cruisin Song was on

So I put my hands up, they’re playin my song,
The butterflies keep coming yay
I’m noddin my head like “Yeah”
Squealing my voice like “yeeeeeee”

Got my hands up, we drive into the port
And now I’m gonna be ok
Yeah! It’s the BoBers on the Magic yay!
Yeah! It’s the BoBers on the Magic yay!

Where is everyone this morning???? I'm LONELY!!

 

[JOANNEL]

I am here!! Gotta do sales tax, darn this job!! Loved your poem!!! I wish we were going now!!! We packed some more last night. T shirts & stuff.

 

[gstroop28]

Thanks Joanne!

I'm actually in another meeting right now (buy my computer isn't the one that is displaying on the "big screen" )

It's so cold here - I'm definitely ready for the tropics!

I'm here now. Just got back from the library with 2 paperbacks for the trip. Then I made a quick trip to the grocery store. We're living day to day so as to use up stuff before we go. They're finally installing the new furnace - by tonight the switch to gas should be complete. Meanwhile no heat. At least the sun is out & we have lots of warm clothes if it gets too bad! We can just pretend we're in a hockey rink!

Did you pack our infamous shirts too?!!

[millerpjm]

I'm here....also trying to get some work done though....

By this time next week I will be bouncing off the walls!!!

I keep thinking of things to add to my packing list - that can't be good, right?

Hey Angie....did you ever get your list done?

Be back later, folks.

10 sleeps until we cruise!

 

[krazy4crusing]

It is soooooooooo cold here in Toronto! The windows were all frosty this morning. The only solisce I take in that is that on Saturday we will be in the sunny south!!!

 

[B9erSteve]

Brady Dancing... What a cutie.

Nice!

 

[Timon]

I'm here too but I'm a little PO'd

I went to do our online check-in this morning and noticed that they changed planes on us and the seats that I chose 6 months ago don't exist on the new plane so they moved us to row 11, seats A, B and F!!!

I called to see if they can be changed but the flight is full and the only thing he could do was tell me to ask the gate attendant just before we board the plane to see if they could shuffle us around.

Hopefully the person sitting next to Kira will be nice and switch seats. I don't think too many people would actually want to sit next to a 2-year old, right?

Grrrrr..... I sure hope you didn't have to PAY to pick those seats 6 months ago! Sending some your way that someone will swap with you!!

Airtran did this to us on our way back from the cruise in 2007. They put DS alone in 1st class and Pete and me back in coach. Huh???

Pete asked the person who was supposed to sit next to us to switch and they were very nice, but what are they thinking sometimes?

 

[Walt & Di]

Good Morning Walt and DI

Are you guys staying next door to the Raddison? It looks like a group of us will be eating at Grill's friday night.
Have a great day and we will see you next week
Dan

Good morning to you,

Arrive at WDW on Wed 21st..

Have a warm day until the furnace is installed...

Can't wait for the hugs to begin...

Walt

Hmmm, no I don't think we had to pay, it was included methinks.

WOW!! You should have told the person sitting next to your DS to enjoy his flight taking care of your child LOL! How stupid can you get!!

Well at least they didn't put Kira in seat F

 

[JOANNEL]

N

Yes, your beautiful homemade shirts are in my bag!!

It is unusually warm here for October, I am hoping for some tanning weather this week end!!
