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

[TinLizzy90]

30 days!! Let the anxiety commence (can I remember everything? How will I get everything down there (mail/pack)? Will my in-laws do OK? What will I forget to pack? etc).

Here's a side question. Does anyone ever worry about things growing legs once they are placed in the FEs? I know... one more thing to fret over.

I totally agree with you on both accounts (cept for the in-laws part). I am getting a headache just thinking about the packing and getting everything down there.

I am also a bit worried about my new FE taking an unauthorized walk, and likewise the FE gifts that I am going to be giving people. I still haven't figured out how I am supposed to ziptie the darn thing so it doesn't go away.

But - the thought of being in the Caribbean in less than a month is helping to overpower my other concerns. All I really need is an outfit, a swimsuit, and some $$ for the bar, right?

Could I please have the fast FE delivery list emailed to me too? Our email is bearden@wyan.org Thank you!!!

I'm confused (so what's new?). My FE is one per cabin. In looking at the spreadsheet, it says 37 cabins are participating (based on the column "Enter 1 if anyone in the cabin is participating in Fish Exchange. Enter 0 if no one is." However, I kept in everyone who said yes, they were participating in the previous column. That gives me 46 cabins. Some folks said they're not participating, but put a number in the next column, or vice versa. What numbers is everyone going with for a "per cabin" gift?

As for Halloween costumes, I had to laugh at the store yesterday. We don't pay sales tax on clothes in MA. Costumes ARE taxed b/c they're not considered "necessary." Do these people have no kids? Of COURSE they're necessary!!

Here's another fun MA tidbit. It SNOWED this morning!!

Good catch!! back to the drawing board to make some more FE gifts... and I was almost done with the ones I needed!

My Mom (MsTxMom) is on a business trip to Tampa (with a weekend in Orlando, lucky woman), so I can get away with telling you that her countdown has officially started! Her sister (who's cruising with us) made her a set of 30 day countdown panties to wear for upcoming trips. On Monday, when she's back you might ask her "who" she's wearing that day!

I just called in all the dining links that were in the workbook. There are a total of 18 reservations linked together. 3 are late dining, the rest are main dining. What the CM told me is that even though we will all have a specific table assignment, we can actually sit at any of the tables that are assigned to our group.

For those of you who did not have your reservation number in the workbook but would like to be linked to the group, it is not too late. PM me with your reservation number and I can call and add you to the links.

OK, workBook, what or where is that, do you mean the spreadsheet

I think you are trying to confuse me , not very hard to do.

We were planning on just printing the spreadsheet for our Fe's ,but that seems to be a lost cause.


Oh Yeah, BTW, the gorillas from UPS got our FE gifts to us in perfect condition today.

Yes, workbook=spreadsheet. The way that I printed it for the dining links was to export it to Excel and then just select certain columns to print.

Excuse me, some of us are technically challenged

Meaning me of coarse, I think the other SAHD should back me up a little here, The gals seem to be taking over, but then again, that's married life

I Just Figured it out, you are anti YANKEE fans and do not want to give the Bronx Bombers a break.


You left coasters, face it ,surfing is your major sport

Your right...we are anti Yankee fans!!!! Kidding...I used to date a guy from Long Island and all he could talk about was the Yankees. Needless to say that one didn't work out! Gotta go...the waves are calling!

I just went off the list that Gail sent. I checked it against the list that I had going on my labels. I noticed a few people that were originally participating had dropped out. That's the only new thing I found. I think there were a couple of rooms that were connecting but only 1 of them were participating. I will just drop the gift in the FE.

Is anyone bringing extra?

 

[rob_jen]

Hooray for 3 more Fridays of work left.

Can't wait to get away. Kids are getting excited as well.

 

[Desi]

Are we still getting the mini navigators that were planned back a few months ago??

 

[big jack 2002]

I made 50, so I have a few still not labeled. I just made one per cabin and I'm putting in some candy to share!! (Halloween candy--on sale!!) It is getting cold here in Ohio and I am getting out my winter clothes this weekend and putting summer ones in the back part of the closet so I can start choosing what I'm packing in my half of the suitcase. 4 weeks from tomorrow!!

Good Morning, everyone!

Well, yesterday didn't turn out quite the way I planned. Spent 8 hours in the ER. Thought I might have the flu, but apparently the brochitus I had back in march never really left and chose yesterday to cause me a big problem. Never say never but I will have to be really REALLY sick to go back to the ER.

On the positive side, I'm excused from doing anything for a few days! No leaf raking, no gym ahhhhhhhh.

Happy Day, all! (as for me, I'm going back to bed!)

 

[big jack 2002]

I'm glad they caught it. ERs are a last resort!! Rest and think about sunny days. NO

Happy Saturday everyone. Well wishes to everyone under the weather - get lots of rest, wash your hands often and drink plenty of liquids and oh yeah, wash your hands.

Gorgeous day here today. It is only in the 50's but sunny and not raining. I'll take it. DH is watching football so I am think it is time to run the vac - or take a nap. We shall see.

 

[LindaBabe]

I vote for the NAP, Gail! The man won't want you running the vacuum with the tv going.

We're bringing a couple extras just in case... Also, if there are any newcomers that missed the FE deadline but would still like to play, PM me - I'd be happy to exchange with you!

Yep! Cynthia's done a great job with them!

let's see - it's 3:30 Eastern, we'll all be wearing ever-so-stylish orange vests right about now in four weeks, right?

 

[taraandmike]

Linda Babe-Hope you are feeling better soon, and take advantage of getting rest over the next few days!

Well, we finally got our flights booked and I have no complaints, I was so worried from what everyone had said about booking with Disney. We have an 8:00am flight and get to orlando around 2:00 only one layover (as expected) no direct flights from ND, I was worried we were going to get 2 or more layovers. The flights back are also good. Now since we get in around 2:00 wondering if we should plan something or just hang out at the Hyatt?

We only have 3 more sailaways until it is our turn!
