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

[Fivepin]

With all the FE talk, I thought I'd share what mine look like. I got both off of ebay. My first one I got before my cruise last October. The second one I got back in March.

Count us as in on the FE procrastinators

Haven't even made the FE holder yet.

If u see 4 people swimming after the boat at Port Canaveral thats us.

Glad I'm not the only one. I am not a sewer or that crafty at all, so therefore I bought my FE's to save me time and aggravation.

Nah, you're not the only one. I have ideas, but haven't started making them yet. And of course, having the idea and actually getting the darn things produced may be two very different things... especially now that packing is also thrown into the mix.

I don't know how you're going to get it all done. You have quite a bit on your plate now. I need to see if DH will help me. He still thinks it's too early, so he'll probably help right before the cruise.
So, am I doing something wrong on the private website? I tried to upload some photos last weekend, since I still owe you photos of Christopher's haircut. I created the album, resized them to the proper size. The orig was too large of a file. It started to upload and just said upload unsuccessful, critical error. I haven't tried since then.

You must have bought them from gradysmommy on ebay right? That's the designer I'm trying to get a hold of...hopefully she will respond soon!

Yep-she is so nice. I wish I would have taken the picture of the one I got my best friend. It's all Beauty and the Beast. Try to get from her as soon as you hear from her. My first one was quick, but my 2nd one took around 3 weeks because she had so many to make. I had her add the 4th pocket for us too.

Really hoping to hear from her soon. I am a bit worried. She did say that would be back in August. Do you have another way communication other than ebay? I should have bought it last year!

I bought mine on email a couple of days ago. The seller (bunnysew?) was very responsive and said she'd have it done in a week. Kind of pricey with the customization though - $45 when it's all said and done!

Not that we are lazy or something, just busy,busy,busy, like everyone else is I am sure.

Would you mind pming the info on your fe maker???

 

[xxcell]

We'll throw ya a tow line and you can ski behind the Magic all the way to CC!

Thanks, we are from the north east we can only snow ski.
I think we will just be shark bait.

Shark Bait, Hoo Hah Hah!

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

I don't know how you're going to get it all done. You have quite a bit on your plate now.

I'm really not sure.... but I have a feeling it's going to involve not sleeping some. Of course, sleep is over-rated anyway. I'll sleep when I'm dead!

Shark Bait, Hoo Hah Hah!

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

That's just got to be the chant we use when we meet each other in the terminal. Wonder if we can come up with a secret handshake too? And, of course, our theme song can be "together... we swim together!"

We could rename the Magic, Mount Wannahockalougie.

Thanks for the update Denise. I think we'll easily hit over 100 adults by the time the cruise rolls around. I see the gap is closing between the Oceaneer's Lab male and female count. That just means that we have lots of 8-10 yo's running around Adult pool, here I come!!

 

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning!

The stats are awesome, Denise! I think we'll hit 100 EASY. I'd better make some more FE gifts - I only have 58 total (for 1 per cabin).

Rainy day, here. Good day to get on with it.

xxcell, do you ski? My dh will be looking for you! That's his most favorite pastime.

Happy day, all!

I am with you - we will hit well over 100 adults I bet. The number I am mostly watching is the FE count. As of now it stands at 36 and I bet that we get to 45 or so.

Well, we are off to take Drew his furniture for his dorm room and the frat house in an hour or so. Hopefully he will have his vehicle emptied and we can get that stuff into his room.

I just wanted to let everyone know that if you are interested in going to Boatswain's Beach in Grand Cayman, they have a really good online deal. If you book online, $45.00 for Adults and $25.00 for Children you get 20% off your order, and they are providing Free Transportation to all cruise ship passengers from the Pier. Compared to Disneys prices this is a steal. The only difference is that it does not include lunch. In the past we have taken some food from room service to eat to save some money. We are going to book with them.

Not anymore, Hurt my back and had a few surgeries, but I was a huge skier before that.
Mostly Killington, where my brother is with ski patrol.
But my other brother lives in Boulder, so I skied the Rockies a lot too.
Miss it. But still love the sport,even as a spectator.

Thanks for the heads-up stulaurie. I am going to check into it. We were thinking of just doing one of the beaches on our own. But I am a little worried...

That's what we're going to do! Originally, I had wanted to book with a local guide to go out to the QE2 Botanic Garden. But come to find out, he's now working for Boatswains.

Xcell, too bad about your back! It must be hard to watch and not be able to do. My dh broke his ankle a couple years back and I believe it bothered his psyche way more than his ankle.

Sandiegosusie, what are you worried about? Beach is a piece of cake in GC, and it doesn't cost much to do on your own.
