Wow - the puzzle guessers are really breaking records lately!

Guess I'm going back to bed - not feeling too great today - I think the baby shared his cold with me.
I'll try and do some more reading later - eyes don't want to work today and after telling everyone in the family to sleep it off, I think that I will take my own advice for a change. Everyone around me has been sick and they finally got me.

I'll try and catch up later.

Hope you feel better!

Yeah like that is going to happen!

EXACTLY!!!

Well, as usual, I filled the Bahamas forms wrong!! I think I do this every single time!

The second section about how I'll be arriving is where it went horribly wrong. Now I have to do it at the Port.

No big deal!!! I think that in our excitement, we always do stuff like that!!!

My problem is whether or not to keep Emily in the older 5-7 group, or bring her down to the 3-4 group. They do more Princess-type stuff with the 3-4 yr olds, and of course, she loves that. And, she's only turning 5 on Thursday, so she would be one of the youngest in the group. Decisions, decisions!! I guess I'll wait until we're onboard and see what kinds of things are offered for each group.

If you leave her in the 5-7 she will be with Haylee...Haylee is a little upset that she has to be with the 5-7 when she is almost 8, but I exlplained it to her, and I think all is good

Can I just add a bit to your tip Mary? The spray sunscreens work like a dream and I can't see myself using anything else, BUT make sure the spray sunscreens say "NO RUB" on them!! Coppertone is no rub.....Banana Boat isn't. Trust me, once you start using no rub, you do not want to have to rub that stuff in, especially if you are paying extra for the spray kind!

Now Mary has given me an idea--I didn't get my hair braided last year for the first time---maybe I should! I always love it because it's super easy to maintain. But then I'd be the Fairy Godmother with cornrows?

Another note on the spray (I love it) ... it's flippen colder than cold so be prepared!

I bought a big floppy hat this year so that my head won't burn.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

The official word is that tips are included for state room & dining room CM's. Just as everyone was saying -- I just needed to confirm that for myself.


Thanks, Amy, yes, I love the phone. NOT!

Thanks Cindy!

 

[Duckieluckey]

Thanks for the tips on tipping. I will leave $10 per person unless there is something above and beyond.

 

[chipscinderelly]

Would those be the coppertone in the blue areosol cans? It's the sport version or is there a different one?

I love that stuff but for whatever reason, both my kids tell me it stings on them.

The coppertone stings me a bit too in the beginning Cindy - and it makes me feel greasy but it seems to work well!

 

[chipscinderelly]

My DH got up this morning and said Do you realize in 4 days you'll be able to say we're leaving next week!! I really think this time he is as excited as I am!!

OMG I am going to panic!

 

[alikat99]

If you leave her in the 5-7 she will be with Haylee...Haylee is a little upset that she has to be with the 5-7 when she is almost 8, but I exlplained it to her, and I think all is good

Well there ya go, that's an option too!!! I think either way, Emily will be fine, because she adapts quickly.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

Cold Bug Here too! Luckily, I made the Dr's appointment before I got sick! Which means I'll have it gone by then 'cause I'm always better when I go see the Doctor!

Challenge #5 guess...............

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Hope your feeling better soon!

 

[alikat99]

OMG I am going to panic!

No panic attacks, Julie!!!

BTW, how did the tote bag thing turn out??? Have they gotten it straightened out yet?

 

[cherylp3]

I like the neutrogena spray on. A little more money but not stingy and easy to apply.

 

[chipscinderelly]

? About the areosol sunblock cans. Can you pack them in suitecases on airplanes? I thought areosol was banned? Just asking if someone has gone on a trip lately with them.

I'm 5 pages behind but yes and yes.

I flew last weekend and am flying again this weekend. Here's the scoop.

Checked bags - yes you can have it, I 100% recommend a ziploc or other sealed bag to keep them in just in case.

Carry on - it has to be under 3 ozs and fit in your one quart zip loc bag that you are allowed. We were asked to show our ziploc at security and it went through the xray machines in it's own little bag. I had no problem with my travel hair spray!

 

[tinkerbelle77]

Did you guys see this on mouseplanet?

Sounds Great!!

 

[tinkerbelle77]

I am hoping for just the opposite. Jessica would like to be moved up to the 8 year old group. She is 7 and turns 8 in May. She is used to being around kids older than she is and also wants to stay with Brooke. We'll see what happens.

Same for my Haylee...she is going to be 8 in Dec...

 

[chipscinderelly]

Thanks! I'm flying Spirit ,so I guess I'm ok. Northwest told me no because of fire hazard!

Ok well I am not advocating everyone do this, but TSA allowed my aerosal less than 3 oz container last weekend and I'm not asking the airline cause well I'm sure American would say no.

 

[chipscinderelly]

Thanks,Curt. I got alot of different answers from the airlines!
Northwest/northworst said NO to the cans! So if you are flying NW don't pack them!

Chris - for what it's worth, Northwest is NOT going to open your bag, TSA is and I've been flying with aerosal hairspray for YEARS without any problem. I just tell them it's hair spray. Of course there is an offhand chance they will take it out, but so far (knocking on my wood desk) it's not happened.
