Tomorrow is oldest DD's birthday and boy is she milking it. DH and I took her out for an elegant dinner just the three of us to celebrate her 13th. Of course, we spent most of the evening talking about one of her favorite subjects (at least with us parents) - our upcoming cruise.
 
I had to take DS to the doctor today, so I thought I'd ask him about travelling to Cozumel and Costa Maya and whether or not we'd need any vaccinations. He told me that he wanted to know more about where we'd be going for sure (like where exactly Costa Maya is??:confused3 ). He said he'd research it after we got him more info. Just thought I'd let everyone else know what our doctor said. He did mention antibiotic before leaving as well as a vaccination, but he said he wanted to really research it before doing something. Does anyone else know anything more about this? Any past Alternate Western cruisers that can fill us in? TIA!:goodvibes
 
Hey Turkeys!
GotDisney~ :bday: to DD!!! My DS and DD's birthday is Monday!! They will be 9 :goodvibes
Disneypoor~ never thought about asking the MD about vaccinations! Let us know what you find out!!

Well, this may be it for me until we get settled in MA!! DH came home yesterday....Saturday night we have rented the Town Pool for a Combo Birthday/Farwell party for 100 of our friends (am I nuts???):scared:
Packing...packing...packing...
Monday is the kids last day of school...and birthday....Tuesday the packers come (a perk of a Govt. relocation!!) and Wedneday the movers load er up!

Sooooo.......I may be out of touch for a bit!! I'll be back as soon as we get our stuff unpacked and internet hooked up!! Lots of tears and goodbyes between then and now! Wish me luck with the kids, they are not too happy with us right now!!:sad1: :sad1:

Best of Luck to you and your family. Have a safe and uneventful move!
 

Good luck with your move (and pool party;) ;) ), Jackie! Let us know when you have arrived and get settled in!
 
I just had to post! We just booked a 3 night DCL cruise for September 27th!:cool1: :thumbsup2 :yay: :banana: I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! We cancelled our October Disneyland trip and are now cruising with my sister's family and one of my good friends. Sorry---I just had to tell somebody!:lmao:

SUSAN!!!!!!! I thought it was bad that I was having trouble waiting until December! I guess you'll get your fix, will that be enough to tide you over until Nov of 2008? What did DH think (or didn't you ask him until you told him?) :lmao:
 
Stacie--I knew I'd get a response from you on my last post.:rotfl2: DH sortof wanted to go to Disneyland, but he got outvoted.;) We're very excited! My sister, her husband, and their twins are also going. I can't wait! And, yes, that will have to be my fix until our Thanksgiving DD! We only did this one because we had free airfare, and the cruise was cheap. How about joining us? It was REALLY cheap!:confused3
 
Susan--If I hadn't already bought airfare for December I'd think about switching. I did look up what it would cost and the cruise would be cheap, but Allegiant air doesn't fly out of DSM in September or October so airfare would be expensive. I wish. :sad1:
 
Wow! We're all the way back on page three!

Bumpity bump (before heading out to A-N-O-T-H-E-R kids event.

Why does everyone try to cramp it all in the last two weeks of school?!!?:scared1:

I total agree with you, why do they cram everything into the last couple of weeks of school :eek:. Between today, tomorrow and Friday, I will be at my DD's school pretty much all day everyday. This year more than ever am I looking forward to summer break.:)
 
This is our third week off of school already. Do you start late or something? We start the 20th of August, and of course, us teachers have to be back a week earlier.:)

We don't get out of school until June 21st but we don't start school until after Labor Day.
 
WOW we've been out of school since May 18th, but then again we started school the first week in August last Fall. I didn't finish up with my job until June 1st so we're really just starting to enjoy a relaxing summer schedule. Still trying to sell our house, had a deal fall through last Friday (the buyers insurance company wanted to charge them an incredible rate to own property in the hurricane state of Florida :headache: so they didn't feel like they could go through with buying a house!) So still praying for the right family to come along, either way the packers arrive June 26th and we're out of here June 29th. The girls and I will be doing some traveling visiting my brother in DC and friends in St. Louis so will be out of touch for most of July. But at least when I check back in we'll be that much closer on the countdown to our cruise!! :banana:
Time for bed, hope everyone has a great weekend.

I'm not 100% sure yet, but we're planning on doing the Thanksgiving 2008 cruise. It will be DH, DS (almost 13 then) and me, plus about 20 extended family members. This will be our 3rd DCL cruise, but our first holiday cruise. DS and DNephew (5.5 at cruise time) will only miss 2 days of school and it's less expensive than going during any of their other school vacations.

I just found this thread today so when I have time I'll go back and read it from the beginning.
 
Welcome, Sandy and Family!:grouphug: We are also doing this cruise because the kids and I (I'm a teacher) will only have to miss two days of school. We can't wait to see Castaway Cay transformed for Christmas between our two visits! Glad to have you aboard!:thumbsup2
 
Hey all--
We just finished our first full week of summer, it feels like it was a month long. We had community wide bible school here this week. A different church hosts each grade level and it is M-F 9-11:30. Our church had 90 preschoolers. The older kids both helped, and Andy & I did nursery on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Tomorrow DD12 goes to Girl Scout camp for the week. It's a camp she's never been to and her camp buddy moved out of state in February so she's going alone. I'm hoping I don't get a frantic call in the middle of the night to come pick her up.

Lorie--Hope the right family finds your house! Selling houses is stressful.

Sandy--Welcome to you and your family!
 
School starts after Labor Day for our area and ends mid-June.

AF5FAM, will you be visiting cjckclan late July? My two older DDs are hoping to meet with their DD around then. Maybe all four girls can meet (along with us parents of course). We'll be visiting their grandparents who live near Alton the end of July.
 
For those who are praying for my situation from post #404, it looks as if option #1 is no longer available.

Still shooting for option #4, and well on track for getting it. Please keep those prayers going. Hopefully I'll have good news before too long.
