Hi all,

Nice pictures Mousemom, looks like your having a great time.


Could someone please help me, I need to figure out how many fe's and the breakdown of ages. I have the delivery list, but I can't seem to find the FE breakdown post.I know, Last minute.
Everything that can go wrong is. Now, after talking with kids teachers, they are giving us a hard time.
Irish Belle can't get any days off for packing that were already approved.
IM still sick and etc,etc etc.

Need a vacation

On a different note,

Did anyone see on the news that someone's cat got the swine flu?
Poor thing.

One more thing to worry about.

They probably have plenty of vaccines or tabiflu, get it Tamiflu?


IM losing my touch, whats the DOD on the ship as we board, please have one ready for me

Kevin,
You can look at the Mini Nav, but it didn't break it down to the detail I needed.

I have an excel spreadsheet, broken down by
- cabin,
- disname,
- total # of people in cabin,
- # of people in that cabin participating in the FE,
- # of adults in that cabin participating in the FE,
- # of kids in that cabin participating in the FE and
- # of teens in that cabin participating in the FE.

I based it off the Google spreadsheet, with I think all the updates to room numbers to date. Let me know if this is the detail you want... I'll need your email to send it to if you want it. (Also I hope you feel better, my DH tried the Netipot - the nasal rinse, but he did better with the pressure force of the squirt bottle). and what's "DOD"?

That would be perfect, thanks. I will pm you my email as soon as I finish this post. You are a life saver
We have sinus cleanse, which I think is similar, but IM not sure if I can use it because my DR. gave me nasonex along with my anti-biotic and was not sure if you can use both. I should call and ask. Thank you.

DOD = Drink of the Day: a wonderful (and yummy) mechanism developed by the Mouse to help harried parents ease vacation stress.

5 days until we fly...

The all important - Drink of the Day! Yummy fruitiness in tall vacationy-looking glasses with a twist of adult beverage added, if you like.

And Kevin - Tabiflu!!!!

Sorry to hear that some of you are still sick! Just one more week to go! I'm still getting over my bronchitis and sinus infection - the second course of antibiotics and steroids seem to be helping. Hopefully I will have enough energy to pack this weekend - NOTHING happened last weekend, but I did get fishy gifts shipped out by Tuesday. Also chopped off about 14 inches of hair and sent that to Locks of Love, so hopefully the packages won't get mixed up, lol. With cough syrup anything is possible.

I am jealous of those lucky folks already on vacations, but we'll be catching up with you soon! I'm having a hard time keeping track of all the room changes - I'll have to sit down next Thursday and go through the posts and update my FE delivery list.

Can't wait can't wait can't wait! Work next week is going to be impossible.

Hi guys-

So, while waiting at the car dealer for my car to get serviced (4 hrs) I reviewed both the spread sheet and mini-nav, and there were some discrepancies. There are some on the spreadsheet that marked no or left blank, but they are on the mini nav as particpating. Do we go by the mini nav? There is one on the spreadsheet marked yes but no fish by the name on the mini-navigator. I'm guessing they had changed their minds and sent a PM and just not update the spreadsheet?

Am I making this more difficult than it really is? I think I am. I think I was just going to plan on 45.

Off to drop stuff off at the dry cleaners now. Have soccer games tonight and tomorrow. Hope to crank out the rest of the stuff I need to. I don't need anything else unexpected. Michael had developed bumps behind his knees. So, had to make an unexpected stop to the doctors. He has flare ups with eczema once in a while. He developed what they called molluscum, which they say is from eczema. He had over 30 bumps in one area. They just told me to keep it lubricated and try to stop him from scratching and that it should go away. At least it's not anything contagious like chicken pox or something.

Can't wait to get this show on the road. I'll try to catch up over the weekend.

I had discrepencies also, for big jack 2002 - 5, big jack 2002 - 6, big jack 2002 - 7, cruiselovinbunch & HuskerMickey, the mini-nav said yes, but the spreadsheet said no. I went with the spreadsheet. Please let me know if that is INCORRECT. I really don't want to miss anyone. Is that what you had fivepin?

Pretty much. This is what I have:
Racrj, big jack2002-5, big jack 2002-6, big jack 2002-7, cruiselovinbunch had no's or zero's marked in spreadsheet but yes on mini nav

HuskerMickey I see a yes in the spreadsheet but nothing marked as a 1 or 0 under if cabin is participating and no other info filled out in spreadsheet

Big jack 2002-8 is marked yes on spreadsheet but no on mini nav.

I was going to do that cross reference too. However, now you guys have saved me from going crazy. I'll just keep it the way I have it and pretend I have it right (plus throw in a couple extras).

Has anyone looked at the weather recently? I become so obsessed with the vacation weather before we go I drive my DH crazy. I see that tropical storm now looks like its going into the Gulf. Then I bet it will rain on those of us who are going to WDW a couple of days before the cruise. I guess I will wish for sunshine.

 

[Woobie]

Everything OK, Denise? Scary stuff coming out of Orlando right now. Check in after work!

 

[elderfam]

Let me see if this helps any...

I sent each member of our thread a PM asking to confirm information. Some may have given me information without updating the spreadsheet. Not to worry though, we will do our best to offer the most up to date information in the Mini-Nav's that are printed for you. (even if I have to make corrections by hand) I have one per family that I will give out with the lanyards.

If you notice your information is wrong, PLEASE let me know ASAP. I will have my laptop with me and will be able to make corrections until Friday evening.

In case your information changes at the terminal:
Please do not forget that on each deck we will have a message board for you to make / change information. Before you make your fish gift rounds, stop by and update your mini-nav.



Hope this helps some...
See you soon!
Cynthia

Looks like it may be headed to Florida next Thursday or Friday, just hoping to be able to fly in Friday morning

Send some pixie dust this way. I think I need to watch this closer. We are on the water. I guess one more thing to add to my list to worry about. I don't even want to think about having to get the house ready as well, especially if it's delayed and we're not here.

I saw that too on MSN and thought of Denise. Please keep us updated that all is well...

So to clarify: Are the numbers/breakdowns of ages of FE participants in each cabin correct in the spreadsheet? I had done my original count off of it.

 

[beardens]

My parents Judie and David Small in cabin #2646 will not be coming on the cruise after all. My father has been in the hospital for three weeks and is hoping to be able to go home this Sunday. However, he doesn't feel confident leaving the country right away. Anyway....if someone could please erase their cabin from the FE list. Thank you!

 

[big jack 2002]

Hi,
Big Jack 5, 6, and 7 are not participating in the FE, 8 is--just for the kids. They really don't even know anything about it. We'll see you next Saturday!!

By next weekend it should be through the western - I should think we'd be ok.
