I don't know how I am going to be ready in time. I have had obstacle after obstacle this week. At one point I told my DH that it would be so much easier to just skip the cruise so that I could stay home to take care of my sick son (severe asthma), attend jury duty and work (person who was to cover for me is not doing it now). His response, "You have to go. You made all of those gifts, bought the shirts and we met all of those people at dinner on Saturday!" No mention of money, the planning for over a year, or the fact that I have worked for over a year straight with no day off from work. I hope to see you all on Saturday.

Went to pick up our rental car from Hertz

They could not find a reservation - BUT EVENTUALLY we did - someone had us as pick up ------ get this --------THE DATE AFTER THE CRUISE - NOW WOULD I RENT THE CAR AFTER WE CRUISE.......... NOT NOT

But we found it and as an added plus, they only are charging us for a one day's rental instead of two

So, we are starting off in a good way - So I left a happy camper from Hertz
(glad I am a #1 member - maybe that helped)

Bette

Bette: that's so funny you said that - I was gonna call Celeste "Imelda Marcus" but didn't - but now I will

MS. IMELDA MARCUS - take some shoes out - just keep the flippy floppy flashy thingies.................

Oh How sorry I am you're facing all of this! DH + I actually discussed not going. He never brought up the $ either... I had this past week all planned on how I was going to finish up... one can never plan for obstacles... or for so many of them. I wanted everything perfect. Now it looks like, if I make the ship at all, that will be my miracle! Celeste, what size shoes do you wear? Maybe an event should have been for a clothes swap so we each wouldn't have worried about all these outfits

Hang in there... Sending prayers for your son, and for your family. Once we get there, the weights will fall off.

Add me to the list of 'Imeldas'. I think Rebecca is one, too. We should get a group photo!

I am trying to be good. I have ten pair packed including my blinkie flip flops and boots for my pirate costume.

Oh I hear you loud and clear on this one! I am bringing my Purell, alcohol wipes, and lysol wipes. Aimee thinks I am nuts, but the first thing I do when I enter my stateroom is wipe down and disinfect all surfaces (like the phone and tv remote) You just never know who was in there before you! Yes, I am a germ phobic

Robin

Robin...as a Norwalk vet, I wish you well. It's a very nasty little bug feels like your worst hangover with a fever. I did the Purell thing and wiped down everything... the truth is your more likely to get it in the airport or on the plane. Makes me tempted to don surg garb and gloves, and hemostat extensions.

8hr, 2min, 21 sec

 

[icunurse_celeste]

Is that including your blinkie flops too? WOW!

Okay, now I'm feeling guilty- I better go remove some- I just wont match

Robin

I'm right there with you, Robin. That's the first thing I do when I check into a room is wipe everything down. Don't forget the pulls on all the drawers, and light switches, and doorknobs!

I'm getting worried with all these sick people. If I keep my distance and refuse to shake hands or hug anyone, that's why! I'm not being anti-social, I just don't want to get sick!!!

When you see me wearing my birkenstocks on formal night- you will all feel guilty!

 

[icunurse_celeste]

Okay,
I'm off boards until tomorrow- when I send my assignment in....from Florida.

I will be at Pop- room is under Celeste Calabro- if anyone needs me.

Now Scott can FBI me...

Lynn is running around the room here at SSR with her blinkie Flippy Floppy thingies flashing away.

OK to get to Room 3225 is pretty simple. Ask for directions at the Security Kiosk, if you are diving - As you enter SSR and are driving towards the main group of buildings, the center of the resort (spa, pool, check in etc will be on your right, you will drive past the main pool area (it will be on your right) and there will be a bus stop on your left, continue ahead and turn left into the first parking lot on your left. The building we are in is part of the springs, and is where rooms 3101 -3436 are located. It is directly across the road from the theater. We are on the second floor, just as you get to the top of the stairs, or exit the elevator. My cell phone number is 307-690-1235, if you need assistance. If you have a GPS the Lat and Long is N 28’ 23.195 and W 81’ 31.084. The main part of our building the green, with the ends painted blue.

Not sure we got the message set correctly on the room phone as there were no instructions as to how to set it up.

Actually slept last night, Lynn did set an alarm so I could get up and run, Sadly the alarm was set for Mountain Time, so we slept.

Met Ken and Shari and her brother for breakfast at POFQ, and then met Renae during her break. The excitement is contagious. Renae said she met Amy and Steve this morning.

Bob, yeah right train with a 100 mile person, maybe on a bike.

Deb, and anyone else please feel free o just stop by any time we will be here most of the afternoon from about 2:00 on.

Great poem Georgie. Also foreign postage must be found locally, a lot of the rubber tomahawk (tourist) shops will sell cards and stamps.

Peter and Jen Safe travels to you and everyone else.

I can not wait to hear the KALOOSH of the toilets on the ship, that is sooo cool.

Will check in tomorrow, hey we are at WDW….

Celeste will look for you guys at the Kona Cafe tomorrow morning,

 

[krdisneybound]

NOT MANY OF US LEFT HERE -

Looks like I will be the most undressed persons around - all these shoes and clothes - Whew - can't keep up with you guys

I'll be wearing the cold mask................

 

[myfairygodmother]

Yea!!!! My computer is FINALLY back up--it wasn't feeling well the last two days...

All the packing is done and I think that I have tied up all of my "loose ends" with work. I did manage to cram ten pair of shoes in my suitcases as well--very odd for me as I normally live in Birkies all summer. Add me to the new haircut list also--I had twelve inches cut off last week!!

We'll pick up the rental car in the am and start driving south. Hope to be in Canaveral before supper time.

Safe travels to all!!

Liz

 

[bonzie1]

Wow!!! All these shoes! I'm sure I will be out-fashioned by everyone Usually I will match everything! This time, just to get on board will be a feat!

So glad to hear everyone is on their way and packed up. It sounds like there have been several mini meets already! I am taking a break for a few hours. Hoping the rest will help.

Thanks for the info on stamps! It won't make any difference if I forget my address list!
