If I don't make it on time for the meet, tggrbunny (Robin) has my phone number. So does Heather (of threebritts), but I'm not sure if she's going to the meet. Anyway, I can participate via speakerphone if all else fails!

Thanks for sharing! Cute, cute, cute little sleeping angel!

Happy Birthday Holly!

Congrats to Baby Luke and family!

So far no storm issues to report. we were in the pool doing cannonballs this morning trying to get the water level down in case we get that 2-4in rain they're predicting

Safe travels everyone!

Congratulations on Baby Luke - adorable.

We're rescheduled for the 7:45 pm flight tonight and by the looks of things so far, Ernesto should cooperate with us this time.

DH and I were up until 1:00 am finishing packing and such (touchy subject, so I'm not going there). We got up at 5:00 am this morning (kids at 5:30am) and now we won't arrive in WDW until just before 11:00 pm. I'm hoping to get them to take a nap this afternoon - ok, I'M the one who wants the nap!!!!

I did get to the bookstore this morning and got some reading material for the trip. That was a nice bonus to having our plans change.

Oh - now DH wants to fly down with us tonight instead of Friday. Ugggh. Now I'm going to have to see if SW will change his ticket, add 1 to our ADR for tomorrow, and cancel his DME for Friday. I'm so glad he wants to travel with us, but geez, I guess he figures I don't have any thing else to do other than make this change.

Hey Holly - I turned 40 on the 19th (shhh, don't tell) - 36 is MUCH better than FOURTY!!!!

You lucky winners! I'm 0 for 2, so maybe this time I'll win, even a small bingo! But if not, it's still so fun!

Winning the bingo jackpot had a COUPLE of advantages...


1) the obvious, having all that money paid in cash...
2) the affection that came from it. (I had the money in my back pocket on the way home, and every 30 seconds my wife was feeling my butt to make sure I hadn't LOST it!!!)

Arggggggggggg

BUMMER!!!!! For all you women out there, I just read on another thread that Travis is no longer doing bingo on the Magic. He's on the Wonder now! I know the CMs move around often and have their times off and stuff, so it's hard to have the same ones onboard for repeat cruisers, but I was REALLY hoping Travis would be there! He's such a cutie!

We had the same lifeguard on duty for our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cruises. It had been a year since we had sailed and Steve walked up to our daughters and called them by name. It made our youngest DD very happy to see him again.

Hey Monstro!!!
I can almost smell the midnight pizza!!!!!!

Anybody had weird things happen with the online registration?

I put all my info in a few days ago, including credit card information. When I got ready to print the cruise contract this morning, it showed the last four digits of my AE card, but had some lady named 'Delores' as the card holder, and with a different expiration date.

I easily changed this back, but it was odd.

Maybe you should have left Delores on there and she could have paid for your onboard expenses. On the other hand you might have ended up paying for hers.

Ok, now THAT will get my DH to play bingo!!!!

Thanks Courtney! I'm glad to hear the weather's looking better there!

Yeah, like one of those identity theft commercials (is it Citibank?). Me sitting there, talking with the voice of a little old lady named Delores, talking about all the spa treatments, shore excursions and wine I had on the Disney Magic based....

You got to bed by 1 am! Wow, I would take that ANY day. About 1 am is when I get my second list of things to do. As I said in a previous post, the house has to be spotless. God forbid that the house is messy. A burglar may refuse to steal something because of the mess.

Happy Birthday (again), Holly. (Does this mean that you are now 37, not 36, because I wished you Happy Birthday twice?).

Well, that just means I get TWO birthday drinks! And if you convince your crew to do the Nov. 24 cruise, I'll buy YOU a birthday drink to celebrate yours!

 

[crainbow]

Well, my bags are packed, I'm ready to go, the GPS is programmed, the photo kit is bagged, the DW is running around trying to figure out what she is going to wear next week.

I am officially excited!

You folks fly/drive safe and we will see you Saturday on the ship.

[robtraci]

Wow, has almost everyone left already? These posts are sure slowing down, I actually get a chance to read all of them!
I can say I haven't packed a bag yet. Not because I haven't wanted to but it seems more wardrobe is much smaller than I remember. I'm going to have to wait until Thursday night, do some laundry, and then pack. Our plane isn't leaving until 4:44pm on Friday so I think I have plenty of time.

Happy Birthday Holly!

 

[ugarxdawg]

Everyone is packed except for our oldest. Seems everything she owns is dirty. She will have to wash atleast 3 or 4 loads of clothes before she can pack. Don't know where she hides it all in her room.

Most of the schools in our area have announced they will be closed on Thursday due to the weather. Anyone driving down I-16 or I-95 needs to be careful. Although, we have not had a direct hit from a hurricane in Savannah since David in 1980.

Someone at work told me yesterday to eat big meals starting a few days from the cruise. Said it would get the stomach expanding to hold all the food on the cruise. I did not try it though. I have never had a problem eating all the food on the cruise.

Midnight pizza here we come!!!!!
