20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 3

[rcostello1]

I wish I got to MCO at 850! I sacrificed a quicker arrival for 20lbs more per bag. I think that's a better deal.... (AirTran)

We have to go through Atlanta, ugh.

 

[webray]

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!
After looking at this weeks schedule, I will definately be ready to see Friday come!

Kimberly

I will be here with you guys..we will leave Friday morning.

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!

Well, made it back from Disneyland, and am still alive and kicking. It was a great time. Jamie did great with the performances and the stage manager at California Adventure wants them back. Will have to see what happens.

Had a great pre-cruise meet. Can't wait for Friday to come!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN AND LESLEY!!!

I guess since the port will be closed when we return from LA, we will be driving to MCO and taking the ground transfer from Disney to the port. Is anyone else taking the transfers from the airport to Pt. Canaveral? If so, what time are you planning on arriving at the airport? Maybe I will see some of you on the bus!

Cheer up Jen! Some days really seem trying, I know I have definately been there lately! At least you can look toward this cruise, that should help cheer you up! I'm thinking of ya'!
I know this is what I feel like doing to my boss many days Except put him in place of the computer!

Then my charge nurse who is getting tired of me asking for help decided to ask my pod pal (nurse that is splitting the room with me) to send me on break or something so I stop asking for stuff and messing with my kids. Oh I'm sorry didn't know I wasn't suppose to be doing my job.

Don't you just hate bosses like that!

So anyways on the way home I blow a tire. Shredded it. Jeff has to come and change in on I-75 because there was no way I was able to do that.

Ouch!!! Here's a and one for Jeff

I don't want to be a grown up anymore.

I feel the same way. I will lend you my "I am never growing up" hat.

Hey Jen, I am so sorry that you're having such a difficult time at work. You definitely need this cruise.

We arrive around 5:00pm on Friday so we'll miss the pre-night festivities. I have a list of stuff to pick up in FL that I don't want to fly down with. Ya know, detergent, conditioner, the gallon of sunscreen for my DH, things like that.

I just want to be certain that we're going to get a schedule of events in our fish, right? I thought that some brave soul volunteered for that duty. (It's much appreciated.)

That's great news about the pin schedule. Much easier to deal with.

I'd love 20 more pounds per bag! These tickets were free, though, so I guess i'll deal with it!

Kevin and Randall,

I used to do the 'parental clean' thing for many years. I probably still would if I were going to leave them in the house alone for more than a few minutes, lol... I finally decided that they loved me, and I loved them, so if they didn't think my house was clean enough for them to visit, they could stay in a hotel! Of course, I'm saying this from the relative safety of living 3000 miles away from them... I might sing another tune if they could just drop by! Good luck with the white glove inspection!

Boy lots to catch up on we had such a busy weekend not much time to post. Saturday had to move our fishing trailer from storage to the campground, they have been bugging us for 3 weeks now. Rained the first 2 weekends so had to do it this Saturday. Got out there and the storage area is empty just us and 1 other not sure why it was so important, but we got it moved into the space it belongs, took all day as the drive each way is 2 hours, plus we had to clean it out from the winter unwanted guests 2 mice in traps. Now we are ready to start camping and fishing after the cruise.

Sunday had to get new tires on my Mountaineer, then off to visit my dad as we will not see him till June now. Then back to finish packing. 5 Bags now 41, 43, 44, 45, and 39 pounds plus 2 empty rolling bags as carry-ons. We also have a fishing scale that goes to 60 lbs. if anyone needs to weigh their bags on the ship. Thanks Southwest for 3 bags 50 lbs each.

We leave on Friday from our house at 4:00 am for airport get to Orlando at 11:00 am. Friday night we are off to pre-cruise party and then Saturday to the Magic.

Can't wait hope this week flys by, Monday at work is almost over anyways.

Can't wait to finally meet everyone.

 

[kpros]

We will also be hitting the POFQ breakfast line at 7:30 or so before he head over to Epcot for the Segway Tour. See you then!

Happy birthday, Lesley and Kevin.

I won't be leaving home until about 8:30 pm pacific time on Friday night. My flight leaves SeaTac at 11:23pm Friday night. Anyone else from the Seattle area flying out that night on American?

I don't post very often, but I'll try to post just before I leave.

Beth

We are flying out on American, but from Los Angeles. But, I will be going through SeaTac tonight and tomorrow. One last trip for work before the fun begins!

So Im giving up nursing. Last night did me in. Two sick kids who decided breathing wasn't for them. One got intubated the other extubated himself. Iv's blew, bellys blew, my mind blew. Then my charge nurse who is getting tired of me asking for help decided to ask my pod pal (nurse that is splitting the room with me) to send me on break or something so I stop asking for stuff and messing with my kids. Oh I'm sorry didn't know I wasn't suppose to be doing my job. So anyways on the way home I blow a tire. Shredded it. Jeff has to come and change in on I-75 because there was no way I was able to do that. Was suppose to me my friend for lunch, now her car won't start, I need to drive to the other side of the bay to pick her up take her to the honda dealer and a rental car place.

I don't want to be a grown up anymore.

Hang in there Jen. I come from a family of nurses, and your job is probably the hardest in the world. Especially since you have to help the little ones.

The good news is that, in just a few more days, you can stop being a grown up, at least for a couple of weeks!

 

[auntrenae]

Eric and I will be here till Sat. morning, so maybe we'll be the last ones to post. That's a weird feeling, talking to nobody...

DIANA:

What did you do in your spare time???

 

[jragland]

Hard to believe that we made this reservation 1 year and 4 days ago..and it's finally almost here! We will be leaving Palm Springs on Thursday morning around 6. Get into MCO at 4:00pm and zoom off to Ron Jon's where we will begin our "watch" for the Magic as it comes into port saturday to pick ALL OF US up. We will begin our packing tonight..can't start that too early or our 5 yr old DD would have most of the house packed by now.

Best wishes to all the birthday people! See you all soon.
Jim

I know this is premature, but,

Has anyone thought about doing an 'afterglow' thread once we're all home? Some of us did it after one about a year ago, and it was much better than just saying goodbye to good friends and never talking again. With this group, I think it would be really great, since we'll be onboard for 14 days together... Just a thought.
