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

[OKWMEMBER]

OK, guys, I'm venturing into new territory here. I think I added a link to my web site that will let you download the spreadsheet.
Go to this web page:

My Web Site

Click on the link that says "Vacation Checklist Spreadsheet".

The spread sheet should automatically open if you have Excel on your computer.

If that doesn't work, right click on the link and select "Save target as..." to download the file to your computer.

Have fun with it and if you have any additions/revisions, fell free to share them with me and/or the group!

HADD!!!

Gary! Thanks for the link, it worked for me! Yipee!

I'm just back from my birthday lunch, it was great I ate way too much. Now I need a nap, I must be getting old!

Nikki, glad you enjoyed the little emoticon. Mine was pretty close to lifelike too. LOL

Good checklist, Gary. I'm finding I need to do more writing things down so I don't forget. Are you listening, Karyn - as you mature, the mind forgets. You'll soon know what I mean. Hope you had a great day.

No UPS again today. Must be a holiday schedule for them. Everyone have a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy New Year Everybody!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday. I'd thank you individually, but I'm afraid I can't remember that much anymore, since one of you reminded me that as I get older my memory fails!

Randy leaves today, looks like there's worse roads out there than we were looking at yesterday. I guess I'll be a single lady now for awhile.

We didn't get nearly enough done while he was here - which means it's all on my shoulders now.

There's a beautiful sunrise out there to start the new year. I think my first resolution is to go on a cruise after I finish packing the house! Good idea?

Well, boys and girls how are you going to spend today? Other than dancing, that is.

Karyn

Karyn,

Your goal is packing and cruise. Mine is unpacking and cruise.

I've still got about 30 boxes of obviously very important "stuff" in my basement from when we moved five years ago. Since I'm now officially retired (Company says it is effective today), I'm going to try to get those boxes unpacked before the cruise. Got to keep those trashcans filled.

Hope eveyone has a great new year.

 

[OKWMEMBER]

I'm at work today (Am I nuts or what? The DW votes for or what.) Only for a little while, though. We're going to see Brother Bear at the Dollar Movie. I'm glad you're enjoying the Checklist. Did you check it out, Cap? Instructions on how to get it are a few posts back. I already noticed an item I forgot. Cruise Docs (sorry Dean )

HADD!!!

 

[dheller97]

That's OK, Gary. I went in for awhile this morning too. DW called TA yesterday. They said they expect to receive them in about 2 weeks and then will have them to me within another week. So, I've decided I'm going without documents. Hey, it's just paper anyway, right?

OK, Karyn, if Randy is leaving, you have no excuse for not packing. So, plan on one more showing of LOTR today. Then, nonstop packing starting tomorrow. I'll be helping you in spirit. I'd help for real but I got this bad back, y'know?

We'll probably sit around and watch Disney movies today: Pirates, Bambi, etc. Everyone have a great day!!

Happy New Year!!!

We are dancing!!!!

 

[jedokids]

Happy New Year Everyone!
Gary- I can't get it to work for the speadsheet!!! All I get is jibberish! Is there some other way to get it?

My Cruise Checklist--

Started Tanning (so as not to get burned & suffer all thru the cruise)

Made appointment for hair right before cruise.

Start packing.

Call in Excursions

Making plans for appetizer party at my house before cruise.

Am I forgetting anything??? Or yeah-- look over my documents-- IF WE EVER GET THEM!!!

See you all real soon!

 

[Cap]

I've decided to just go with the eDocuments, rather than waiting for the UPS truck. If if works for the airlines, it should work for DCL.

Where is the eTicket checkin Kiosk in the Cruise Terminal????

 

[dheller97]

Cap, what a great idea!! I'm right behind you in line, okay?


Dean

 

[Cyberkashi]

Sorry I haven't kept up my share of messages. Very Busy here.

Karyn: You can request a specific rotation. Just call DCL. We always request the LAP rotaion and I have a 7 year old. It wouldn't be the one they naturally give us. Historically, they have honored the request. It is no guarantee but there is a good chance you will get it.


Kim: Character breakfast has always been in Parrot's Cay. So it is the one of the mornings that you are scheduled for dinner in Parrot's Cay.

As far as Mexicali night is concerned, I agree that that would be a great night for Palos. What a good idea! I have not been that happy with their menu that evening and Palos would be a great option.

AAArrrggghhhh Randy

 

[Annie12345]

Hi Everyone - Like Randy said, we just got back... I've spent the last hour reading the last 8 (yes, 8) pages that I missed while we were gone (instead of the boring stuff like unpacking and laundry...). I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year's... Happy belated birthday Karyn!

Welcome back, Annie & Randy! Hope your holiday was excellent.

Dean

 

[Kabuli1]

Thanks, Annie, and welcome back! We missed you.

When I talked to my Randy last night he had stopped for the night in Gilette (sp) Wyoming. I guess that was pretty good for the first day. So far the only bad roads he had run into were in southern MN w/ icy rain. I think from here on out it won't be as easy.

We have an anticipated high of 52 today! That is so weird for January in this area. In fact theres a dense fog out right now. and it's 40 at 4:30 am.

My to-do list for today is huge! The appraisers are coming and I have to clean up much of my packing mess this morning. Have to refinish the top of the DR table to get it ready to sell. Sort and pack in the basement and get some serious work done on my lecture on Inter-testamental Judaism for my class on Sunday. ARGH! No wonder I couldn't sleep.

I'll check in as the day goes by. RIght now I'm waiting for my coffee to finish brewing, I so need the caffeine!

Karyn

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Welcome back Randy and Ann!!! Gail and I hope to chat with you real soon!

HADD!!!

 

[dheller97]

Not worried about getting hard copy of documents anymore! Cap and I are going with e-docs and he is going to save me a place in the kiosk check-in line when we get to the terminal. I'm sure glad he thought of that, really takes a load off my mind. Now, if I just had my snazzy sneakers.

Have a great Friday.
