SO, when is everybody leaving??? Will this thread get lonely since I am not leaving until Friday?
Kim- I will be thinking of you! Hope everything works out for you!

We're leaving Friday morning. But I expect for this thread to dwindle more and more as this week progresses. We can keep each other company until then!

Happy Birthday to my Birthday Buddy Kevin.

Thank You for the Birthday Wishes. Disneyland was memorable on Saturday. Since they were sold out of everything I wanted to buy, I did not put a dent in my cruise money. It was great meeting up with fellow DISers for a precruise get together. This group is going to be FUN FUN FUN.

I have more shopping money!!! My Mom gave me a gift certificate to my favorite store for my birthday, DH gave me shipboard credit and my Grandmother gave me a check. Thank goodness my suitcase still has room.

I won't be leaving until 5:30 pm PST on Friday. I wonder who will have the last post on our board before we leave. Don't forget to set the alarm and turn off the lights.

 

[Scott H]

Also don’t forget to let your neighbors know you will be gone so they can keep an eye on your residence, put lights on timers, arrange for papers and mail, lawn care, maybe your local Police Department might do house checks for you while on vacation, turn off gas, maybe shut off hot water heater (think of the savings there), leave an itinerary with friends and relatives. Dump out any milk in the fridge, after a couple of weeks it will not be fun to return to this science experiment.

Don’t forget your important documents, copy you passport and put the copies in different places. Call the credit card companies. Get some cashola for tips etc. Quarters for laundry machines.

Now the real important stuff – turn off work cell phone, and don’t check work email, don’t call the office. You are on vacation. Plug that personal battery charger in and refresh those batteries.

Kim, we also have a scale, ours is just a simple pack scale.

QUOTE]

SCALES? According to my very own personalized cruise documents international law requires that there are no scales within 50 nautical miles of someone that will be surrounded by all you can eat food for 14 days. All scales will be confiscated at port. They will be replaced however, with a full set of body slimmer undergarments.

Pulled out the Calgon's ultimate packing list I printed from the net a few weeks ago and now realize I need another massive Walmart trip. I'm not bringing all the stuff on the list, but there were several things I think are good ideas that I forgot.

 

[Scott H]

Our scales only go to 50 lbs, kinda like Bob's 29th birthday.
