11/14/09 - Special Western - 2 CC stops PART2

[Princess Momma X2]

Hey everyone-It's officially NOVEMBER!!! I thought it would never get here, and now it's only 13 more days until we board the ship!

Going to Target to buy my "half off" pirate costume-hope they still have some left.

 

[glindamood]

Good evening everyone. Two suitcases packed (except I need to wiegh them) and will do the final one Tuesday evening. I did keep several things out - hooray for me. I even thought that maybe I could get it all in just 2 checked bags but I don't think so. I guess it depends on their weight.

Nothing much else to report. DH has scouts tonight and I should try and get the vac run one last time before we go - tonight would be good since Ben and Kristie are coming for dinner tomorrow night. Three more days of work and we will be on the road.

Take care and either stay healthy or get healthy. Rest and drink plenty of liquids everyone. No stressing as that just adds to it.

Hello Everyone,
Hope you all had a great Halloween weekend!

I took some of the feedback and last minute updates and reworked the mini-nav a bit. I increased the font size so it should be easier to read, and added the room numbers that had been sent the last 48 hours.

I do NOT plan on making any more changes so you can feel free to print away just as soon as it's updated on-line. (Give it about 24 hours or so)

I got so much done this weekend....don't know what I'm going to do for the next week and a half! This just might be the first trip i've never had to pull an all nighter before we left! Who knew a 2 year old could get me organized!

Don't forget when packing to toss in a used book or magazine for our book exchange! (childrens books are needed as well!)

See everyone soon!
Cynthia

Guess what - next week, we're all going on a cruise together!!!

I had Chinese for for lunch today - you won't believe my fortune:

You will soon be crossing great waters on a fun vacation.

WOW! What a fortune! I'm betting it is correct, too

You thought you'd get it in two bags, Gail? I've got SIX! and a box.


I brought my mini nav with me - too hard to find a place to print on the road. I'll have to pencil in the changes.

Have a good night, all!

In the Target $1.00 area they have oooodles of Disney goodies!!, Dry erase boards, stickers, pens, notebooks, etc.!!!! I couldn't get a hold of myself!!!

Isn't that a hoot! And yes, you will.

Linda - I hope the drive today wasn't too bad. I thought about you as I went through my day thinking I would rather be packing and doing laundry than riding, riding, riding (can you tell, not my favorite activity but I would do it to get to the port if needed). I am still thinking I can do this in 2 checked bags with our two carry ons. I did send a box ahead, remember?? But, I need a way to weigh the dang things so that is my task for tomorrow and they if I find a way, they can go Tuesday to be checked.

Does anyone one know if they are going to discount any CC packages since we are there for 2 days?

Less than 2 weeks Woo Hoo!

I called a few weeks ago and got a discounted 2 day package. Had to go through a supervisor. She told me that it wasn't going to be put online but that supervisors could book over the phone. She said it could also be booked once you get onboard.

 

[SJSH Mom]

MAy I ask what the discount was for? Are they going to make it available to us after we get on the ship?
Thanks

I got the discount for the Castaway Cay Getaway Package (float/tube, snorkel equipment, bike), but the discount is available for the individual float/tube rentals, snorkel equipment rentals, and bike rentals as well.

I'm just guessing, but I think the regular 1 day rental for the Getaway Package was $32 per adult...and the 2-day price was $40 for adult...only $8 for the 2nd day!

The supervisor on the phone said that anyone could call ahead and book over the phone, or it will be available on the ship...but it won't be online. I'm not sure why, and she didn't give me an explanation...because I know it was offered online to previous Double Dip cruises.

I just got the updated version on google docs and sent an invite to everyone that has had access to the spreadsheet.

KC -- grab a couple of our books and throw them on the dining room table (staging area). Sorry everyone, but this is the easiest way for me to ask him to do something cruise related. Have I mentioned how much "FUN" it is trying to get ready to go on a cruise and move at the same time?

I had Chinese for for lunch today - you won't believe my fortune:

Oh, that's great!!!!! We ordered Chinese last week at work and my office mate didn't get a fortune at all. Wonder what that means?

I'm going to Target tonight! Maybe they'll have similar stuff at mine.


Hey, if any of y'all plan to go to the beach before/after the cruise I wanted to let you know that you need to be aware of the rip current danger that's been going on around here. It's been on the local news for a few weeks but apparently they're really bad right now due to the current weather patterns. Two guys this weekend (separate incidents) were in waist deep water and got pulled out. One died and one almost did. They have information posted at the beach about how to get out of a rip current if you get caught (don't panic [which would be the hard part for me] and swim parallel to the shore until you get out of the current) and the news is advising that you swim in front of a life guard station. Now I'm not trying to alarm anyone, but I just thought I'd best mention it since it's been on the local news so much lately.

Oh speaking of the news, they just did the local traffic report. It's great to hear them talk about how I4 is clear all the way out to "the attractions" and knowing that means THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH IS THAT CLOSE!!!!!

Thank You, I'll give them a call today.

 

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning everybody. I'll have to wait until tonight to post - dh wants the comptuer.

And you're nice enough to give it to him? Awwwww, how sweet. Don't let KC know that's what a good wife does. Don't want to spoil him, you know.

 

[glindamood]

Not having one at all would be better than having a blank piece of paper! I saw it - but it wasn't my forture. But, maybe a blank page to write on was how it was supposed to be taken. I had not thought of that in a long time.

Well, 3 days of work (2 if you don't count today) and 3 more sleeps before we head to Nick and Cara's. I will try and get my travelers checks today. Ben and Kristie are coming to dinner this evening and bringing me another suitcase in case I decide I need it. Just can't decide....

Take care everyone and stay healthy.

The 2 day discount packages are available online. I was online last week when I noticed and booked one. I checked again this morning and they were still there. Have a great day everyone, we are so close now!

Yup, just booked it! Thanks...

I also noticed you're from Windsor Locks! I lived near the mall in Buckland Hills for a few years, my best friend is still in Tolland! This is great, meeting folks from all over the US and our Canadian folks!

Ummm. I have connections to those places, too. You're all going to think I'm scitzophrenic w/my claiming connections to all of you, but I swear I do.

Good morning everyone! The MiniNav looks great, but I think I am the only one who does not know how to put it together correctly once I print it out. What is the secret?

Good morning. If you print it out double-sided, it should fold together like a book! I can't imagine how long it took for Cynthia to get them in the right order for that!
