MICKEYPLAN!!!

I am editing the first post to let people know that the website is closed for new data. I have received a couple of emails with info and will add those at some point but beyond tomorrow, which is two weeks before we are leaving, there isn't much time to catch up & fully participate with the group events. Besides the fact that with Thanksgiving and packing and life in general, things are just going to be too hectic for me to keep up with it & be ready to board the ship with you guys. Also, the dining linking, CM ruins tour sign up & Cozumel Jeep tour sign up are all closed.

I would also like to take the opportunity to add my voice to the choir (directed by Brandi of course ) and says Thanks to Lisa for all of your hard work coordinating this wild group!

To everyone else I just want to say 19 more days!!!!!!

I had to go back and check. I found my first post on this thread on 2-16-06. Post #2315 on page 155. I was kind of hoping it was my first ...but sadly it was not. You guys were already a pretty chatty group before I ever signed up!

We have a reg Walmart and two super's....the super's are higher priced than Publix and Publix is HIGH (as a grocery comparison) and I am pretty well schooled on most grocery prices. I was shocked!

Dennis - re - tuxes....(I believe you told me before) white on formal night and black on semi formal or is that backwards?
only a cummbund/tie with both or does one need a vest?

Come on everyone....

"HHHIIIIII Brack....how long as it been seen your last DIS attack...."

DH has accused me in the past of being addicted to the internet when I liked to play online backgammon alot. We had a pretty cool little community and such. If he said it now, I would have a hard time defending myself.

Lately I have been having these attacks 24/7! Just look at some the post times for me.

And you are closing in on 3000 personal posts!

 

[pyramid2000]

It is that time Lisa!

We are all starting to get into the same frenzy as we do when it is a posting frenzy. Time to get ready to sail!

Thanks Lisa for all the hard work for almost two years now.

I second that! The site you have maintained is awesome and really has helped out so much!

Compared to a lot of the other cruise meet threads....yep!

But you aren't alone...we would defend you.

Well I can’t post my spreadsheet but I can post a huge list of some of the items on my spreadsheet. Maybe we should all post our list that way we will remember stuff we are probably forgetting. I am sure there is more I need to add but this is my start. My actual spreadsheet has a little more detail like how many pair of socks, etc…

For The Drive
Quarters for Tolls

Can anyone tell me how much money we'll need for tolls?

 

[becka]

Only 23 other threads have a # of posts higher than 2,314 and of those 22 already have finished the cruise. So with almost 10 months left to go before the cruise you guys were already a longer thread than most cruise meets threads ever are!

GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!!

 

[lillygator]

I think there are several $1.5-2 tolls along the way. Can't remember ezactly and I would bet they have gone up.

packing list ----- I have two sheets on the dining room table that have what items I have already packed.....as I put something I just jot it down. Don't want to forget anything!

 

[lillygator]

I hope to add to it tonight as the table must be cleared off by Thursday!

 

[lillygator]

17 more sleeps until we leave!

 

[tynkerbell]

Happy Birthday Vanessa!!!

Lisa you got me kind of nostalgic so I went back to first of this thread.

It was started on November 25, 2004 two years this week!

I was the 22nd post and the 10th person to post on the thread. One of the other 9 was never really on the cruise (HappyLawyer) he was booked on the Wonder during our cruise.

It has been a very long wait and I for one am ready but it has been a very fun ride on this thread!

Had to go back and look to...First post was #350/pg 24 / 9/26/05. In the age of days going by without any posts. Could you imagine??

That is probably a good idea. Although even with my anal retentive packing spreadsheets the sad thing is that I know not only will I forget things that I didn't put on the list but I will also forget things that are ON the list! It never fails....
