21. clymusa: Our 1st cruise. Chris, Chin (DW), Sydney (DD 4.95), Kalamazoo,MI, Late dining, SR 2026, Flying in Sat morning.

We're in the midst of packing, at first my DW a veteran business traveller said "We just need 3 carry-ons right?". I just laughed quietly and let her pack her stuff. 2 suitcases later... She said "Oh, oh.."

Having a slight problem finding stuff for pirates night... but not panicking yet.

 

[gailadams_uk]

Only 1 more day until we fly !!!!

Travelling to London to chair a meeting tomorrow, so its going to be a long day - then Tuesday we need to leave home by 4am to get to the airport.

Busy doing , then I must get packing.


Has anyone made a decision on whether we are meeting up at sailaway, and if so where and what time.

4 more hours and I'll be leaving to catch the plane

Just time to have a few hours sleep - been hectic tonight, sorting out last minute stuff.

Still no decision if we are having a meet. Everyone must be shy.
If a meet is decided on can someone stick a note to my door - 6034 so we can attend.

See you all in a few days

Thought I would post this link to the Key West Citizen - there is a Pirate Festival this weekend at Fort Zachary state park. Some details in the article - not sure how it will be but since you will be in the area.....

 

[Gerweniel]

Thanks for the link - it sounds like it will be fun! Key West knows how to throw a party!
My boys and I leave tomorrow at 5am out of Newburgh. After work today we'll just be finishing the packing, a quick meal, then to sleep. Hopefully that is, if we can fall asleep with all the excitement.
See you all aboard!

 

[Hanover]

Well, we've managed to pack for ds6 and dh. Next up is packing for me and ds10. Looks like we are going to have nice weather!

We get to print out our Southwest boarding passes in a few minutes for tomorrow's flight.

I hope everyone has a safe trip to Florida and we'll see you on the Magic!

We'll be at the Mickey pool at 3PM and hope to meet fellow dis'ers.

 

[rgroves]

As far as a DIS Meet...

Let's just meet up on Deck 9 near the Mickey Pool between boarding time and Safety Drill time. This will give us several hours for meet-n-greet, photos, and catch those that board early or late.

Some one print up a "DIS Green" sign (*cough* - Grumpy) and stick it somewhere everyone can see it. Those that can make it, great. Those that miss it - We've got an entire week and all your room numbers, we'll figure something out and get some faces to put with names. Maybe we can get all of us gathered for a group photo.

HANOVER - Are you keeping the official list of members? If so, bring the list and maybe you and I can get together and put up some sticky-notes on some cabin doors. I'll print out a list of members on Thursday afternoon (right before I leave home) and make a few copies.
