12/04/2010 Eastern MAGIC - CHIP 'N' DALE'S CRUISIN' NUTS

[tinkluvr12]

I guess it worked that way. As for tips... I use the livestrong calorie tracker also called myplate. You can google it. It's free and easy. The more you use it the easier it is to use. You just tell it what you weigh, what you want to weigh and how quickly you want to loose it. It won't let you do more than 2lbs a week. It tells you how many calories you can have a day. Then you log your food. There are over 400,000 items in it. It's so easy! You can even change the servings and it calculates for you. The example I use is grapenuts. A serving is like 1/2 cup but I like to put a tablespoon on my yogurt. It's a pain to figure what 1 tablespoon is but with this program I put 1 and click the serving drop down then change it to tablespoon and it figures it for me. Awesome! Good luck everybody!

Getting soooo excited! Hubby and I got Kindles for our birthdays so we won't have to tote books around. I'm looking forward to just sitting around and reading in a relaxing place - if we have any downtime!

I'll be bringing my nook to read stuff on. I'm currently reading Moby Dick, but I think I'll still be reading it by the time the cruise comes along.

We are driving down. First time..should be interesting from VA Beach.

Probably overnight. Leave around 8 am, arrive around 8 am FRIDAY. Then I will spend the rest of the day resting up before getting on the boat Saturday.

Don't know where we are staying yet in Port Canaveral, so any suggestions are welcome! Mike and Sianna can sleep in cars, I can't so I will most likely be doing all the driving. Plus with my internet businesses, I'm using to doing all nighters on the the computer, so not much different than my current lifestyle!

Anyone had an update where Magic is going to be in Dry dock? I've heard Norfolk (where she was 2 years ago - and I've heard Freeport)

I live 10 minutes from the dock where she would be in Norfolk, so if she comes next week, I'll upload pics

We're flying in on Friday (from Seattle) and staying the night in the hotel in the Orlando Airport - I forget what the name is. Then we'll just grab the busses in the morning! I should probably book a room though, right? Ha!

That's the Orlando Int'l Hyatt. Stayed there before my first cruise & have photos in my TR. Nice. If you get an inside room, you can use the airport wifi and not have to pay to use the hyatt's.

We like flying down the night before. I'm not taking chances with snow. If it does snow, then will get in the car. We're staying at the Country Inn & suites.

9 weeks and counting

It'll be 2 months before my Mom and I leave for the cruise. Time seems to be slowing down or something.

I'm working today, but since I'm downtown Chicago, I can see the new Disney store. Maybe get some Christmas shopping started. I meant to bring my camera but I forgot.

In the short term, I call in Monday to see if I have to do jury duty at criminal court on Tuesday, so that could be a good distraction.

Oh well.. I understand they are heading to Freeport for drydock oh well guess I have to wait 2 months to see her

DH and I went over to port to see the Magic yesterday. So strange to see it on a Saturday without passengers. A lot of containers on decks and the lounge chairs piled up on top of Palos. Two cranes loading containers aboard. We heard the Disney tones piping and announcements being made on board but couldn't really hear what was being said although we thought some of it was in Spanish. Left before the rain storm hit but wishing it was time for the cruise!
