[firemans wife]

I don't guess I should mention that we are headed for 60 degrees here in Georgia, should I?

NO YOU SHOULD NOT!!!!!

Atleast I can say it will be sunny and in the 80s all week!!

 

[firemans wife]

I need to go get ready to go. TTYL.

Sounds like you are ready for some warm southern temps!

Good Morning Nanas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last work day for me!!!

Packing is still under way at our house. In fact, I'll be spending my lunch break at home packing up Wyatt's clothes and stuff. He's at MIL, so I thought it would be best to pack when he's not there. Every toy I put in, he'll want to play with right then.

 

[CruisingCamper]

I am TRYING to pack only 4 bags...but I know one is over the weight limit, but I don't really care at this point. We'll just pay the fee...I know it's crazy, but I have to have room in the limo.

If anyone has specific questions re: Nachi Cocum, just ask! It really is a nice relaxing place.

Stephanie. DON'T pay the fee! At worst, go to Target and buy one of those collapsable duffles and that you can use for the plane and then repack it at Disney. Or we'll just put it on the floor inside the limo...

I ordered a portable luggage scale from Bed Bath and Beyond and it arrived yesterday just in the knick of time. I used to get on the bathroom scale with each bag and then subtract my weight to figure out if we were over the limit. Looking forward to using this scale this time.

hey Christine - I think I may actually go and pack my bag now. Mina and the girls have their stuff pulled out but not yet in the bags so perhaps it's my turn. My biggest concern (and I know you will be able to relate to this) SHOES. With wearing khakis to dinner most nights I need the burgandy/brown shoes but for formal night and the black suit (I opted against the tux this time) i need the black dress shoes. Truly the one thing I hate is to have to bring two pairs of non flip flop/crock/sneakers.

Oh and in our annual pre-cruise sickness check, Emily has been having a tough time with asthma and a cough for the past 3 weeks. Doc gave her a precautionary antibiotic yesterday since she may also have a sinus or some other such infection but they weren't sure. Last night she REALLY slept well and just seemed so much better this morning. Hopefully this is behind us. One time. Just one time. I'd like for us to be getting down to the last few days before a trip without SOMEONE being sick, breaking a bone or some other such thing...

 

[jd99]

So I'm really just talking to myself here?

Then I'll just say


GOOD MORNING NANAHEADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[alleluia5]

I don't guess I should mention that we are headed for 60 degrees here in Georgia, should I?

Guess I won't mention the 70 degree gorgeous weather here in FL either

Just wear the black shoes with the Khakis. I'm sure Christine won't judge!

Yes, I don't think we should tell the northerners about the clear, sunny, warm weather down here right now. They might want to move here, then!

 

[Mjasp]

GOOD MORNING NANA'S

 

[Mjasp]

I had a good nights sleep last night so I feel like I can accomplish things today.
I am going to totally pack today after I submit one more show.
My toiletries bag stays packed because we vacation often, so I just go through it to check expiration dates.

Will check in periodically

 

[disneediva]

Just wear the black shoes with the Khakis. I'm sure Christine won't judge!

he's at early dine , she'll never know!

 

[MoranClan]

5 more hours of Work....

 

[mickeyluv]

I know I have it somewhere but can't seem to find it. Can someone please send me the Excel packing list or any packing list that you may have? I would greatly appreciate it!!!!! Oh, in case I haven't mentioned it lately....I love vacationing but I HATE packing!!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]
