20040131 ~ Cruising Jan 31 2004 Western Who's with us?

[kmc33]

It's getting lonely here!! I wasn't afraid I wouldn't get another chance since the boards were down again this morning. So, this may be it since they could be down again when I check before departing.

Have a safe trip everyone! I am looking forward to meeting all of you!!!

Hey Kim, Renae, Cap, anyone else out there.....

Here's hoping that everyone got into the air safely this am. For those driving and flying tomorrow am, take it easy. We'll probably cross paths with Cap and Renae on the highway. We are shooting for 6:30am as a departure time. That's giving us lots of time. My FIL says there is construction on I-75 and I-4. Might be worth a look at AAA's web site or a call to the DOT to see if there will be big delays.

Well, even though I'm here in Florida, I'm still a bit hyper. Laundry to do, misc. things to pick up. I'm nervous for all the northern travellers today too!

MIL wants to know if I want to go out to lunch and shopping, or just shopping! Now that's a way to start a vacation!

I'll be back tonight Renae to help you close up shop.

Good morning. I don't feel good. I'm so bummed. I think I have a sinus infection. I'm going to try to get a doctor's appointment before I leave at 4.

Everything's packed and in the car except the people. My flight is at 6:50 tonight.

Renae,


"How does your DS feel about lots of huge spiders? I had nightmares after seeing this movie! I saw it with my boss and co-workers and liked it except for that part. My boss and I just about dug a hole in our seats to get away from that. lol. I thought you might like a warning about that part. "

DS will love that part.....on the other hand, I'll not be happy. I DO NOT LIKE SPIDERS! I worked in a pet store while in college and my all time worst job was feeding the taratulas. I hated those things. It didn't bother me to grab a handful of live crickets but I almost peed my pants just opening the spider cage and dropping them in. The spiders seemed to know I didn't like them....anytime I came near the cage, they would start jumping at the lid.......gross.

Have safe travels everyone....I'll be here until noon.

Can't wait!!!

Posts have really slowed down. It's partly sunny today in Orlando and in the mid-50's with no breeze. We walked about a mile earlier this AM and found it to be great weather.

Judi's into the last minute what did we forget to pack mode. After lunch we'll go get $ bills for tips, some more batteries, and a few other odds and ends.

See you all tomorrow.

 

[kmc33]

We will be leaving for the airport soon!!!!!

Barbara - I hope you feel better.

Cap - thanks for the weather update.

See y'all tomorrow!

Doctor said it's a sinus infection and I get the 5 day antibiotic pack. That should fix me right up.

Nikki - Thanks for answering my question. Sorry it took so long to get it.

The travel agent called yesterday to let me know about the upgrade that I already knew about. Apparently she forgot to link my reservations together. Now they're trying to see if they can upgrade my connecting reservation too. I feel greedy asking for a second one, but I don't want to be 2 floors away from the rest of my family.

I'm leaving here in 2 and a half hours for the airport. Hope you all have safe travel. It sure has been fun getting to know you.

 

[Chickenlady]

Wow, going to be a group of us slammin down the antibiotics...we'll be the only ones eating and drinking in Cozumel without worry.

I'm off to the airport....Yippeeee!!!!!

I'm leaving on a jet plane!!!

Janice,

I don't know if you will get this before we board, but I wanted to offer to tell you when to close your eyes. They are tarantulas, and gross just doesn't cover it! Let me know if you want the specific warning... I don't want to mess it up for anyone else who wants to be surprised.

It sure is quiet tonight. I may have to close down this place early if I don't have any takers for lemonade... Hot lemonade! We just took the DIL's over to the MK to watch Wishes in the rain. It was amazing as usual. Even raining you can't beat that show!

see you all tomorrow. We'll be there around 1:30 Renae

 

[Cap]

Renae,

We shouldn't close down yet. Might even be some of those traveling today who will check in from their hotel this evening.

We just got back from dinner with some friends in Winter Haven. We're now trying to get our act together to get out tomorrow morning.

 

[Cap]

Team, we've made 2650 as of 10:00 PM the night before the cruise.

 

[Juli]

Hi Cap, Renae, Janice, Kim, Jen, DizDad...weren't there at least 2 or 3 flying in the am and a few more driving in?

Well, we are almost repacked. I can't believe we are leaving for the ship in the morning!



See you all there!

Juli

 

[Cap]

OK Renae, It's almost time to turn out the lights.

See you soon.

 

[auntrenae]

Hey everyone, I'm putting the lights out, kissing the kid that's not going, feeding all the pets, stopping the mail, paper and deliveries,
I'm cleaning out the fridge, changing the sheets, locking the house, and I'M OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!

The Disney Magic docked at Port Canaveral on Saturday morning January 31, 2004

The Disney Magic sailing up the Port Canaveral Channel on Saturday January 31, 2004

Sorry, I tried to get the Magic sailing past the Two Palms cam, but it was just to misty out, I could barely even see the ship.

 

[Cap]

Hey VerandahMan, thanks for posting to our thread. It looks like we're going to be about an hour late docking in Key West today. They're now telling us about 12:30 PM for going ashore.

 

[Cap]

It's Thursday PM. About time to think about where in the suitcases the winter clothes are packed.
