2/28/04 Magic Western...anyone onboard?

[mississaugamom]

65!!!! Sounds like a heat wave to me! (LOL) All our main suitcases are packed with our clothes/shoes. Everything else will go into a cargo bag on wheels which we can check through.

Now I'm trying to remember all the little things, like making my lime-green carryon tags. You were saying that "Plutospup" wouldn't fit - what am I going to do with a name like "MississaugaMom" I thought of shortening it to "MissMom" but I don't think that will fly with my DH of 10 years! Any suggestions???

I am getting more excited by the minute! PLEASE don't let there be any server problems on Friday!!!

 

[snwwhite]

Everybody is packed except for my husband!! Isn't that the way it always is. All he has to do is get his clothes together and I will put them in the suitcase. He has promised to do this by wednesday.

I also wanted to see my countdown clock!!

 

[ksjayhawks]

It is cool, rainy and wet here. Though I shouldn't complain as family in Minnesota got a snowstorm on Sunday! We are ready for the sun. Suitcases are ready to be shut down and put in the car as we fly out tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. which means out the door by 3:30 or so to get to the airport. NOt sure if it is even worth going to bed tonite.

To get to Orlando, we have the privilege of going through the Miami airport with a 3+ hour layover. BUT it is worth it! Will give DS son time to work on schoolwork he is missing next week.

Have a safe trip jbix00.

 

[ksjayhawks]

That sounded kind of rude, didn't it, to only wish one person a safe trip?

Have a safe drive jbix00 and safe trips to everyone else, no matter how you are arriving.

See everyone on Sunday, if not before!!!

 

[mississaugamom]

Wow - the first departure for one of our little "DIS-Family". I hope you have a safe and easy trip down (even with the Miami layover).

I'll "Talk" to everyone else later!

 

[totallytigger]

Hi everyone!! Worked last night but can't sleep today!!
It is bright ,sunny, & cold here--I can't stop thinking about heading south!!

jbix00--65 degrees sounds like heaven!! That's more than twice our high temps right now. I might have to have a tall "drink" to cool off!! oh darn

Suitcases are just about packed except for the last minute stuff--except that is for DS20!! He's spending every available moment with girlfriend--OH NO--A WEEK APART!! GASP

I'm sure he'll present to me a mile high pile of ironing at the last minute and give a smile and a wink and I'll do it as usual!! AHHH KIDS What would we do without them!!!

 

[MamaGriz]

We have bright, sunny and cold today as well. The calm before the storm they tell me. We should have snow here as we drive to Spokane on Thursday. Hopefully we'll miss it. We got up to 40 degrees here Monday, and kids were in shorts here on campus

I am saving my shorts for this weekend, not being quite that crazy myself. We are mostly packed, and so excited that sleep is becoming elusive

Gotta keep those kids rested as much as possible, while I can.

Safe travels all!

 

[mississaugamom]

The excitement and the anticipation are starting to get to me ... last night I dreamt that I missed the DIS Meet on Sunday morning and had to wear my lime-green mickey tags around the ship looking for everyone!

Just for the record ... I'll be wearing a lime-green mickey t-shirt in the check-in line. Maybe someone can find me!

Can't wait

 

[snwwhite]

Mississaugamom - I will be wearing a lime green mickey shirt on embarkation day too. Does yours have 3 sparkley mickey heads on it? We may be wearing the same shirt!!

 

[mississaugamom]

Yep, Snwwhite ... sound like the same one! Don't change until after the sailaway party - it gives us a second chance to find one another!

How cool is that ...

 

[plutospup]

Safe travels ksjayhawks, and to all 2/28 cruisers!

...sparkely green Mickey shirts? Do I spot a trend here?

 

[smchan]

Oh my goodness... would Saturday come already!

Sam

 

[3 things]

1. Seeing the Magic on According to Jim was VERY cool!
2. We're almost packed and ready to get on the plane tomorrow!
3. Two days of just hanging out in Orlando is going to be soooo cool!

PS - Does anyone else in here "share" an account? 1/2 the time when "3 things" posts it's Gail and the other 1/2 it's Ray... (anything odd would be Ray's posts)

Sincerely, Ray

PS2 - All this talk about lime green. After 3 years, I finally have a place to wear my screaming lime dockers t-shirt!

 

[yamahaboy]

i watched according to jim too! it looked more like cameras folowing them around! i thought i was really cool lol

 

[mississaugamom]

Enjoy your time in Orlando before the cruise, Ray and Gail!

We'll be looking for your lime-green dockers shirt in the checkin line

See you Saturday/Sunday!

 

[macker]

hey - jbix00 - if i don't touch base w/you tonight - have a safe drive tomorrow and Friday. CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO LEAVE?? I am still not packed but all is folded and ready to pop into suitcase. Too bad if I wanted to use my sofa for anything other than a clothes storage place this week! Talk with you Fri night/Sat a.m. Safe travel. Macker

 

[plutospup]

Please feel free to add your TV show, too!

 

[mississaugamom]

Great "Shows" Plutospup! I enjoyed my start to the day! Here's another one ...

"According to Snwwhite" lime-green mickey t's are a required fashion statement!

Have a "Magical" Day everyone!

 

[yamahaboy]

AHAHAHAHA VERY NICE!!! LOL

 

[jbix00]

I SO want one of those T-shirts that Jim was wearing on the show last night (wonder if they come in lime green?) - but DW would beat me about the head if I wore it!

Leaving work for vacation in 24 hours....

Jeez - the 2nd part of the show is next Tuesday - we'll be in Grand Cayman. DD asked if the ship had "cable" I told her they tow a thousand-mile cable all the way from Port Canaveral to follow the ship around. Maybe satellite? We'll see.

Everyone have safe travel and see you all onboard!
