10-Oct-2009 - Eastern Magic St. Croix

[RedSox68]

I also packed the girls embarkation day clothes, they are wearing red and white Canada t-shirts.

We have matching embarkation shirts every cruise -- it's become a tradition. They are different colors, but the same design on the front. It looks so great in the pics to be matching. Each year we pick a different one off the Disney shopping, or make our own.

Sounds like everyone doing the same last minute stressing packing stuff.

My dd cardiac cath has been postponed due to her latest echocardiogram so she will get to swim etc. and have the cath to look forward to the Monday we return

Started packing, halfway done, dh flew in today and gonna finish the packing tomorrow. Pick up the last minute stuff at the store tomorrow.

Can't wait to see everyone at port.

Two more days to get stuff done but would like to RELAX on Friday

Safe journey to all who are getting ready to fly.

My fellow Floridians, man it is Hot! Hot! Hot!

We also have snorkel scheduled for St. Thomas. Not gonna worry if it rains and it cancels we will just go shopping. Still need a plan for St. Croix.

One we are on the ship it's all good

Happy Thoughts!

I have been up since 6 am and have been at it since then. WOW!!!! We fly out tomorrow and my poor DH had to run up to his office this afternoon so he could print out my door signs. You know, the door signs I started working on almost 3 months ago but only finished today. He must really love me to not tell me to forget about the door signs.

I'm too excited to sleep!!

I swear by Airborne. If I start feeling sick, it's the first thing I run for. DS woke up with a sore throat on Saturday and i immediately started giving him, and me, Airborne. He's much better now.

so while cleaning the bathroom i decided to take tonight off of work which is nice because i then have two full days to do what still needs to be done...but at the same time i now have two full days to drive myself nuts because we are almost on vacation!!!!!

I was cleaning our bathrooms today too.

I scheduled myself in to work tomorrow so I can't stress about work on the trip and also so I can't stress about last minute stuff to do. Although right after I finish work tomorrow, my girls and I are going to the mall to find me a new bathing suit and sunglasses (my Claudia (age 4) broke my fav. pair and Veronica (age 6) snapped hers in half yesterday.

I have a pile of clothes on the floor right now, waiting for me to sort and place in suitcases. My plan is to be mostly packed tonight and tomorrow afternoon do the last minute shopping of stuff I realize that I dont' have yet!

 

[JDBlair]

wow, sounds like a lot of us are doing a lot of last minute things. We fly out tomorrow afternoon and I am up and working on door signs. Door signs! For the love of Pete, who, in their right mind, would be working on door signs at this hour? I'm exhausted, have been up and running about since 6 am and I'm working on door signs. Well, I'll tell you who--dedicated DCL freaks, that's who!

I started my kids on Airborne on Tuesday. When I brought it out Wednesday morning, I thought they were going to run away from home. They really disliked the taste and we had some words. My stress level was too high to listen to complaints from them. They finally drank some after I did. Now I have to get some in them tomorrow.

I am doing laundry at midnight and have several loads left. We are running around trying to get my son's Halloween costume together. Plus, we still have cheer and football practice Thursday night. Our flight is at 6:00am on Friday. I do not know how I will get it all done. I see lots of sleeping by the pool the first day at sea because I am not getting any now.

I just finished cutting out the last door sign. Now I worry I may not have enough magnet strips. Told DH, "Good thing they have stores in Orlando!!"

In reviewing our flight info for tomorrow, we now have to leave 1/2 an hour earlier than we thought to get to the airport. I don't know why I'm going to bother going to bed right now. I'm just going to toss and turn and toss and turn. I cannot believe my DD is sleeping right now.

 

[DenverVal]

I finally have everything together (well, I think I have everything together). I have a few last minute items that need to be put in the suitcases, and a load of laundry in the washer (which is not going in any suitcase), but otherwise everything is done. I am sooooooo tired, but too wound up to sleep. We leave tomorrow afternoon.

 

[bluecasbah]

Everyone have safe flights! We live right behind Disney, so if anyone needs anything, just pm me or I'm on a Boat. See everyone real soon.

 

[sandky]

This time tomorrow I will be on my way to Florida.
I'm at work so that will distract me today.
Packed suitcase is sitiing by my door.

What the heck would be causing flights to be cancelled? I sure hope that everyone gets in ok.

BEAUTIFUL weather there. We all need to start doing the NO RAIN DANCE!

We still need to finish packing...I hate being this close to leaving and having unpacked bags...but with that said everything is pulled out and stacked all neatly waiting to be put into suitcases.
