12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 4

[MommyMinnie]

Wow Patsy - that seems really early!!! We go back in two weeks. Next week I'm scheduled to be off from work all week so I can play with the kids. When do you get out?

Does anyone have schools in their area that go year round? What is that like? Do you like it?

They usually get out around May 24. It has to do with getting as many school days as possible in before the standardized tests in the Spring.

I think it stinks.

 

[MommyMinnie]

Who all has sent their SASE to Kim? I plan to do it over my lunch hour....something I keep saying I'm gonna do, but time keeps slipping away. Just curious what kinda envelope everyone is sending.

I sent my SASE a couple of weeks ago and got the bracelets right back. Most have gone into the cruise box but DD kept one to wear.

I told her that if she looses or fogets it that's going to be her problem.

They look great. Thanks KIM!

Check this banana hat out for size, i dare you to have a naughty thought, lol.

Hey Penny!

ok... after the challenge of trying not to have a naughty thought... I DID!!

It's like when we were kids and you looked at the clouds to find things, like an elephant or car or something...

Well when I saw the "mickey" banana I had a naughty thought... let's just say the two mickey ears didn't help... Okay so it's been a while hah...

Forgive me

Lisa - also I just went to the first page to read about David and Ian's tour but didn't see how long it actually lasts - meaning what time are we back at the ship?

Allow for 4 hours total for the tour, including an hour each way. We will also stop at the village school to drop off the supplies that we are taking...maybe 4 1/2 total. We are being picked up at 8:30 so back by 1 or so.

 

[MommyMinnie]

Good afternoon,
I can't believe the posting fools you have been in the last 14 hours!

DD got off to school ok (first day of Middle School).

I'll let you know if she survives.


I've heard good things and bad things about Super WM. We generally avoid it because the shopping is so unpleasant. I think it's a lot like Publix supermarkets. One is fine but they tend to over populate the area!

PJ, I just rented the car. We are set!!! We will pick it up on Friday so we have it Friday night, pick you up Sat am and we are on our way!

When are you arriving in WDW? I should look on the site, but can't I am at work. I could meet you at the SSR carriage house or outside of my building? We can make plans at dinner at AKL.

V, did you read your newsletter? I think it was on page 3 or 4, lol.

I it was one hour drive, two hours at site, 1 hour drive back and maybe 30 mins at the school needs to be added?

I was looking last night on what car service we are going to use. Still havent decided. My DH doesn't want to drive and for me thats a good thing. I guesse I'll have to pm kim about the bracelets. I havent been keeping up and have no idea how much they are or anything. Brenda

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

I bought a nice big padded envelope to send to Kim so she can send the bracelets back to me but I forgot that I needed to buy something to put this nice big padded envelope in to get it to Kim in the first place.

I was so proud of myself for remembering in the first place and now I just have to at myself.

Oh Becka yes!!!! I went to the post office - told the guy I wanted a small padded envelope with $3 postage....basically I couln't remember how much I needed and I thought that sounded alright....well that just blew the guys mind b/c nothing costs $3. ... in other words I was between the rate categories...like for up to X ounces it would cost 2.15 and for greater than x ounces it would cost 3.60. So by me asking for $3 just made no sense...but I couldn't remember how much to put on it.

THEN I asked him to put that in a bigger envelope and tell me the postage for that....again...you'd have thought I was asking him something about the Dis boards...he gave me a look

So - I chuckled to myself as I walked out the door. Figuring they were back there laughing at the crazy lady who didn't know what she was doing. But I wasn't walking out of there without my 2 envelopes.

Remember - bring the info with you so you don't drive the postal people POSTAL!!!

I missed that part!!

I just need to be sure and return before/when Flounders closes and I believe that is around 1 or 2 on port days....but I could be wrong.

Brenda, all of the info is on the group website.

Pj

We arrive 12/3. Pick up will be easy, we can just come to your building. We will give you our cell phone #s before we leave.

Brenda, we have used Fl Tours and Happy Limo. Both were fine, showed up when they were supposed to, helped us with the luggage. I would just check the prices on both. Happy Limo says the tip is included (I think), but the driver said they don't get a tip out of the payment to the company. We tipped extra.... don't know which info was correct.

Becka - what is it about those stuffed animals?? I actually put two garbage bags full of toys out this weekend...but most of the toys were beyond salvaging, you know, the written on, missing arms kind of deal. It did not begin to make a dent in their room or playroom.

I think that stuffed animals breed!!!! There are always so many stuffed animals!!!!!

 

[becka]

I need to identify all the male stuffed animals and take them to that "TV" fundraiser...

That sounds like a wonderful idea!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

Well, my 3:30 music lesson will be arriving momentarily. I will be back later!

 

[lillygator]

Brandi - have fun with that music lesson....

Only an hour to go! I am pretty tired tonight but plan to walk the beach when I get home! Gotta get in my daily exercise for the challenge!

If a beach was nearby, I think I'd find the time to exercise at teh beach. You are so lucky.

Becka - I'm going to send Kim a padded envelope - inside, I'm going to put a label with my address and some stamps...then, all she has to do is put the bracelets in the bag, slap on the label and stamps, and throw it in the mail....no need for 2 envelopes.. hth, diana
