Nope, that would be cheating Has to be from home! I said a couple of days ago that I wondered who would be the last post before we got on the ship, and speculated that it would be on of the FL people. Looks like Leslie will be leaving home the latest.

Hmmm... now should I shoot for being early at the port and getting in line up front (well, behind the Scubas anyway) or being the last post from home... decisions decisions.. The way it's going now..it's looking like I'll still be packing at boarding time....

Scubadad....I think Ohiominnie was volunteering my Jordan to help your Lisa carry the wine!


Back from the soccer game/party. They won the game, the party was a success! Check one more thing off the list.

Guess I'll go pack some more.

I was wondering if anyone here has signed up or is planning to sign up for the Anquilla Dolphin & Stingray Encounter on St. Maarten?

Me neither. I'm with you! Maybe tomorrow.
I'm going to sample a bottle of wine to see if it's worthy to bring with us. I'm going down to unscrew the top now!

The 12 of us going on the crusie our together tonight!!! We had some APPLE MARTINIS!!! MMMMMM.....good..just thought I would duck out to the board while relaxing. If I'd have to estimate I'd say we are 80% packed. Yahooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! The home stretch........

 

[tkd lisa]

Did you remember to leave room for what you will be bringing home? It is usually more than what you came with....

We don't buy much in the way of souveniers, and I figure the kids Christmas gifts will move from my bags to their backpacks! Worst thing that happens is we stop by Wal Mart on the way to the airport and pick up another duffle bag!

 

[tkd lisa]

Quiet evening, huh?

I'm off to mapquest to print our directions.

Airport to BWV
BWV to closest Wal Mart
BWV to the Port ink: ink: ink:
Port to Tampa Airport
I think I'll do one for the BWV to Ron Jons although as I recall, it's just straight down the main drag on the left side of the road.

Good thing I don't need one from home to the DC airport. Got that one memorized!

What did you want at WalMart? If it's just groceries, I have a map already with all the grocers, and the nearest WalMart is in Kissimmee, off the bottom of my map.

We haven't even thought about packing. We just finished a kitchen remodel. So we are just now getting the house back in shape. DD Staci turns 13 tomorrow and we have 7 girls in the house tonight. To much giggling for me.

We might think about packing on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Nice map Mark. Is there a grocery store near the port?

Hello All 10 nighters!!!!

As you can see I just joined the DIS board. "WVMD" was kind enough to invite me over here. This will be our third DCL cruise in 3 years. Really looking forward to next week. I wish I had known about the DIS board earlier but I guess it is better late than never .

Here's to new friends and great experiences

BTW: Any DIS Divers here going underwater in St. Lucia (Dive Fair Helen)?

TazDev

TazDev - welcome to the DIS and this thread! You'll find a great group of people here. I've sent you a pm that will lead you to the groups web page and our monthly newsletters. You can also link to the Dive page from our main page or from Kevin's signature.

On week from tonight we'll be enjoying dinner or the shows on the beautiful Disney Magic!

COUNT US IN FOR THE ORNAMENT EXCHANGE! (Kids and Adults)

The boys were excited about it.

I haven't been able to keep up with the t-shirt story -- GaRry, if you want to overnite ours to me I'll be happy to pay for thhe rush shipping. I was hoping we can wear them to the terminal...

 

[dee47]

Welcome TazDev!

 

[MarkRG]

Nice map Mark. Is there a grocery store near the port?

Ken

According to Shirley there's a new Publix very close.

Also, and what we're planning on doing, there's a nice grocer in Key West not far from the Port at all, right off Duvall. It's a few blocks down on a sidestreet east off Duvall. It's a full blown grocery store, good prices and selection.

 

[paulcrsb]

Oh yeah! Count us in for the ornament exchange too!

Paul

 

[WDWLVR]

Shouldn't be. I thought the Gum ornament(s) were already in the hands of the Scubas (hopefully they aren't thinking the lime green thong is an ornament!!!)

Just to clear the air (there are new people here you know )

There is no lime green thong in the box!

Our ornament is in the box (we are just doing one family one).

Slight correction on name - Gums (not Gum) yeah like my typing and spelling is always so perfect

This link will get you to a map of the port area from Dave's DCL tribute site. It doesn't have the new Publix Mark mentioned on it, but will show you what else is in the area.

Sorry this is Tinkfan- DD Kristen must have been on my laptop

Good evening everyone.

Had a fairly productive day.

Got the house cleaned up.
Kids mostly packed.
Sam clothes from trip to cleaners.
Haircut
gathered other msc things.
wrapped and gave kids their Christmas presents.

Should be able to get more finished tomorrow.
Currently watching Dodge Ball, kinda funny.

Hate to ask on the main cruise board so I will ask here first. I read that they are now offering bottled water to be purchased onboard. Does anyone know if it happens to be available to concierge guests? I know that it is at the resorts. Or on our last cruise we saw many people checking a case that was delivered to their room. Do they still allow this? We are very big water drinkers. Trying to maybe cut out our stop from hotel to port.

We will have two empty bags, both started with wine.
