Well that's it for me. I was supposed to work all day today and half of Friday but for some amazing and strange reason things just sort of worked out at the job. The new servers are being installed, blah blah blah. SO its 3pm EDT, I am home instead of at 6pm and I get to start the packing process a little eary and even get to take the kids to tennis lessons. YEA HAAA
 
Well finishing up the last few things at work then:

I am on Vacation

Our niece has stopped her contractions and will get to go home tonight. Hope she waits till we get back to have the baby 32 weeks now 7 1/2 months pregnant.

Safe travels to everyone traveling today. We finished packing last night after the hospital.

Our car for the airport picks us up tommorrow at 4:30 am and at Orlando by 11:00 am. YEAH

See everyone tommorrow night at Scotts.

Tom

I can't locate a Hertz location in San Pedro on their website. Do you have contact info? Or are they just offering free shuttle?
I called them a few weeks ago (I'd like the FF miles, too) and they were more expensive.
One more day of work for me!! :badpc:

The Hertz in San Pedro area ia at 555 E. Ocean Blvd. - Suite 111. - only about 10 minutes from the Port

Their direct no. is 562-432-7973

Call the 800 - 654-3131 for any information
 

Yippee!!!!

I'm officially on vacation!!!!!!!

Tonight we will finish packing and then tomorrow we get our nails done and relax. We fly out Saturday morning.

Can't wait to meet everyone....only 2 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEWS ALERT! NEWS ALERT! NEWS ALERT!

Disney Cruise Line announces that they will not have limited edition pins on board. Apparently some engineer miscalculated and the gross weight of the ship will be over the maximum for the Canal. However, it has been calculated that if they eliminate all the pins... they can just barely make it. Apparently those hub cap pins just put them over!

OKAY... JUST KIDDING...

Definitely going to be interesting watching the Magic squeeze through the canal as she is already at the maximum girth of 106 feet and the length fits by just one foot! Here's hoping they don't scratch her!

We were within one foot of maximum girth 2 years ago. We could touch the sides of the canal as we were going through. The workers were sooooo cool! Especially the guys in the mule trains.

Choices
The greatest challenges you’ll ever find,
Will always occur within the mind.
They’ll not be between the good and the bad,
For the bad choice will always make you sad.

But choosing between the better or less
This will cause you much more stress
For there’s many a choice with uncertain end,
And few are the moments to put them in

But of all the choices you will ever make
The great, the small or for other’s sake
During times of peace or strong opposition
The worse choice of all, .. is indecision


What do you think? :confused3

Hmmmm I don't know.. I can't make up my mind.....:rotfl2: :rotfl2: sorry, just couldn't resist that...

I'm baaaaack! Up here at the MouseHouse.. got in around 2 am... slept in then spent all day getting haircut, manicure and pedicure.... :teeth:
Unfortunately that place is too near other shops.... came home with another pair of capris, 2 pr shorts, 4 tops. I'm in trouble.. the suitcases are already locked.... where is my intervention team when I need them???
12 pages to catch up on... but first I'm gonna run over to Epcot and see if I can't see Scott and Lynn in the tank.... be back later :cool1:
 
Hi everybody,

Work was great today... got to meet Steve and Amy, and Scott and Lynn! I even got a little powdered sugar on my face thanks to some wonderful new friends, thanks guys!

Kay,

I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. I will be at RS from about 10-6.

Renae
 
Kay,

I'm sorry you got it too! I went to 4 places after work and they were all out of airborne, so I'm just dealing with symptoms until tomorrow morning... Walgreeens told me they will have some then and will put it in back with my name on it. Chicken soup and sleep for me tonight!

Renae
 
Georgie,

Keep your chin up, soon you will be pampered and treated like the queen you are! You can blow raspberries at the stressful people from deck 10 as we pull away...

Renae
 
Georgie,

Get some meds for all of us, ok? Tell the Dr. he can contribute a sailaway gift! LOL!

Ok the final updates are done. I've gotten all but 1 or 2 pictures onto the list.

I had absolutely no idea the list would ever grow to the size it did (or I would have found a much better way to do it, trust me). I printed up magnets for those who did not submit information (Just to make sure no one was left out).

Tomorrow should be fun. Final packing, a quick trip to the MK to make it a kingdom to kingdom cruise and off to my dads for hopefully a bit of sleep.

I'll happily be at the port very early, complete with pirate flag, reposition this shirt and what not. Grab me in line and I'll start magnet distribution.

I have printed about a dozen copies of the master list. One will go on my stateroom door with updates, changes, upgrades, downgrades and notations of which port which disboarder got drunk and missed the ship at.

I'll hand out the other copies on a first come/first serve basis. Please do not take one unless you need it.

I'm also trying to find a small magnetic whiteboard for my stateroom door. I should have it tonight (Quick trip to target, once the lawn is mowed) and people can feel free to use that to leave me notes, comments, changes, updates etc.

Oh well. That should do it. Its been a long strange trip, and its sure been fun getting here.

Jeff-I bought magnetic white board that just clings to the doors for our stateroom hall monitors. I've got the erase pens and the cling free stuff. We should be good to go!

Linda
 
Scott,

Thank you so much for the jam! It's so yummy! I had it on my beignets and it really made my day... How was Dive Quest?

Renae
 
Okay--I'm at work---don't know why------being doing my DIS stuff ALL DAY LONG!

It is now 3:30 p.m. Parents arrived an hour ago and DH picked them up at the airport!

OKAY HERE'S THE LATEST!!!

The mini-navigators are done and going to print as I type. I APOLOGIZE in advance if I missed anyone's special day, switch in room assignment, or just someone screwed up and just left you out. SORRY! I tried my best! Our "little" mini navigator is about 20 pages!

Okay, with that said and done--

I'll be handing them out tomorrow night at Scott's as well as at the terminal Saturday a.m. I would like to get as many passed out before we board the ship to save Zazu's Crew from delivery to all the fish!! :rotfl2:

Just report in to me (just ask where the Girl Scout cookies are at the terminal) and you will find me. I will have your Mini-Navigator packet in an envelope with your stateroom number in it. I am printing about 25 extras just in case.

All I can say is I can't wait to get on the airplane tomorrow and leave all the other stuff here at home! At least if I forget something at this point I can buy it when I get there!

I'll see some of you tomorrow! (And I apologize in advance if I forget some of your names.....right now everything is just a BIG BLUR!

...................AND I STILL HAVE TO PACK AND FINISH PUTTING PACKETS TOGETHER!!!!

Linda
 
For all who mailed packages to the ship...please check the tracking report to see that the packages have arrived...AND, print the tracking report for your carry-on bag. If a package has disappeared, Heaven forbid, you will need to prove you sent it, who signed for it and when it arrived...

A similar problem occurred on the 10-day cruise (with REAS) and DCL was less than cooperative when it came to granting REAS benefits without a receipt, as they had no record of it and the travel agency was closed. :flower:
 
OK - THIS IS NO WAY TO START A VACATION

DH WENT BOWLING TONIGHT AT 5 PM AND I TOLD HIM TO TAKE MY CAR SINCE WE HAVE EVERYTHING READY and packed and I backed his car into the driveway - and away he went in my car.

He calls 15 minutes later - he was rear ended by two cars. Now I have to deal with my car when I get back and put in shop.

Not a way to start my vacation.

He says he is okay, but you know how the aches and pains come later. Now I have to make sure he stays well while we are away.

I am so upset. At least he didn't have to go to the ER - I have to be thankful for that.

Just my tale of woe for the night................ :crazy: :crazy:
