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

[taswira]

I think Val may have sent an FE list to those participating. I'm not sure. But the same info (mixed with the non-FEs) is on our cruiser list. Those listed as "YES" under the FE column should all have their stateroom numbers showing as well. The count presumably comes from the total number of participants in those cabins.

I dont think a list went out yet. She posted last week she was working on a spread sheet.

The Fish Extender list is done!! I sent the email out this morning. please let me know if you did not receive it.

Good Morning

I hope everyone is doing well.
Just wwant to check my ticker WOOHOOO
I've been reading that there are 77 on the FE list. Am I missing something- did I miss the list-is there a link I overlooked??
Between Christmas and the cruise, I've got so much to do

I just checked my e-mail and the list is there all nice and organize

Thank you magic3forme.

 

[taswira]

Val sent me the list to post and it is now on the site. I didn't want to make all the details too obvious (FE thieves? lol), so what I did was to make the "FISH EXTENDER" column title of our cruiser list link directly to the FE spreadsheet.

So today I told myself I was not going to do all day work..I would get things accomplished for the trip. First I thought, let me straighten out my daughters room (7 years old going on 15!), it should only take an hour... 4 hours later I feel like I have been hit by a truck. The good news, I have a Uhaul size load of old toys she has agreed to part with.. bad news, barely made a dent. My daughter has the top floor of a cape cod. Tons of space, but sloped ceiling so no one else wants it. Which means when we moved her in there, we took her playroom, arts and crafts room and her bedroom and made them one. Now, after the summer of only 'light' picking up.. it needed help.

I did make a pile for the cruise.. we will be handing out mardi gras beads on pirates night to any child I can flag down and temp them to take it off my hands! We found her Chip and Dale and My Pal Mickey, and put them with the cruise stuff, and found her suitcase and traveling bag. 4 hours. I need a drink! Where is that waiter by the pool with a margarita when I need one?

WOW - this so sounds like my 7 year old daughter! Will you be putting your daughter in the club at all? Last year we went and before we went I met a mom on here with a then 6 year old and we became facebook friends and the girls would e-mail back and forth to each other and got to know each other and then they hung out the whole cruise - pool, club, bingo and all! And her family and ours sat together a few times and hung out and we are now friends....would your daughter want to email or fb with my daughter so they get to know each other and can hang out on the cruise? Let me know! And good luck with the rest of her room

I actually opened up my the door organizer and have mostly filled it up. I decided I would 'roll it up' with everything in it so that all I have to do when I get there, is unroll it and hang it up. All my medicine, toiletries, protein, and things we will need will be all set. I'm curious to see how it works and still not sure what I'm going to stuff it in. It won't fit in my suitcase, that's for sure!

Plus! I have now packaged and labeled all my fish extenders.
Besides clothes, I am basically ready to go.. anyone else know how we can get on the ship any sooner? I'm not sure I can wait until the 4th.

I've started some packing as well. Got some shorts and shirts, going to wait for a bit before packing the garment bag.

Most of my door magnets are in envelopes and I put them in my garment bag (worked out well for me last time), and all our travel documents are together.

Just need to get through Thanksgiving and being on call for work...

 

[Magic3forme]

I started making a list for the trip! I have put clothes in certain piles and know what dress clothes I want to take! Driving is going to make it soo much better... ha ha..... I can just lug more stuff!!

Thought for the day while I am working today....28 days until I am on a beach in St Martin. Here'e to hoping for 85 degrees & sunny

Val, thanks for all the great work on the FE list. List organized by deck and cabin numbers will make it so easy for us to get ours delivered!

I'm so behind on all my organizing and shopping with 2 birthdays, Thannksgiving, the cruise and Christmas looming ever closer and knee surgery on Thursday that will make me less mobile, I feel overwhelmed. I did buy my Christmas cards and have them on a table by the bed so I can write them during the first couple of days after surgery. Something to do to feel useful. FE gifts are all made and ready and cruise box is filling up. Put out the suitcases, one for our trip to Dallas for Thanksgiving, 2 for the cruise. Too much to do.....

Had a house full for the weekend. Larry's Mom broke her hip a couple of weeks ago and is now in a rehab center so we had to move her 80th Birthday party there. Had a wonderful day with family and friends. Last crew left yesterday. My grandson's visit was the best part for me, he is just so cute! On the 6th load of laundry but almost done and the house is again clean. The best part is, there are still leftovers, so no cooking tonight! Soon, I will be served my every meal onboard the Magic! AAAH...

 

[taswira]

We had new additions to our cruiser list today - Bonifay5 and family. They have 3 young sons. I added them to the Cruisin' Nuts Kids list.

dwtraveler - I'm amazed that you are traveling to Dallas so soon after your operation. Wow. Best of luck with your surgery and rehab. Take care of yourself so you can enjoy this cruise!

 

[sshd]

I just saw this today and wanted to know if it is too late to get in on the fish extender?

 

[taswira]

sshd - I added you to our cruiser list. Magic3forme is in charge of the FE. Unfortunately, the closing date for the FE was October 23rd. We are SO close to sailing now! We're sorry you didn't find us sooner!

 

[dwtraveler]

taswira, it's easy to travel when you are going to be with family for Thanksgiving! Everyone will be taking care of me and my daughter-in-law will be doing the cooking (and she is a great cook) so I'll take it easy. Hoping to have the speediest recovery ever so I can cruise and enjoy the Holiday activities to the fullest. Think I can get DH to put the tree up for me this weekend?

Thank you. I had fun .

and good luck this week!

My Thanksgiving is going to be very different this year. Just my Mom and myself, then watching my brother's condo and bird a couple days.

At least he's going to be providing beer...

Hey Everyone
I wanted to share this, as our plans remain to be on with the Cruisin Nuts, just not sure how easy it is going to be. My father past away suddenly last week at the age of 61. He was not only a father to me, but also a business partner and my very best friend. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers..........and I ask for your understanding if it may be harder for the party guy in me to come out.
I do think the timing will be a good break and my Dad was so excited for us, that I know he would want us to go.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my dad suddenly 3 years ago as a result of an on the job injury. To this day it is still hard to wrap my mind around it. Stay strong during this difficult time.

My condolences on your loss. I lost my Dad 6 years ago and I know what you're going through. I was informed that a cousin to my Mom passed away yesterday. Pixie dust for us all to get through these tough times.
