Just read your trip report - LOVED IT!!! Your children are adorable. How scary to have your son sick on the cruise, but glad that they took great care of him and he was feeling better in no time!

Your report has been wonderful to read. You have a beautiful family. Sorry to hear your kids were sick, that will put a damper on the most perfect vacation. Can't wait to read your last day. Your report has really put me in the mood for our cruise in October!!

Our last day - what a bummer. But due to the illness, which now struck me in the night, we were ready to get out of dodge, can you even fathom that?! We rose and went to our designated breakfast time per our early dining rotation - forget what time that was now. All of our travel party was there to say our last goodbyes to each other and our waitstaff. We got right off the ship afterwards and each found porters and got through customs in a flash! That is so the way to go. My DMom & DDad were just a Godsend this day since hubby was still a little ill and I was full blown ICK ! Not fun for a travel day. We checked in for our flight while in line for Disney Express for the trip back to the airport. We even took a picture with our town paper of the kids in front of the ship. Hopped on the bus and just went about our way home. Our flight wasn't until 2pm so we had a long wait at the airport. DH and I just laid around and tried to hold it together. The kids had activity items in their backpacks and the Grands walked them around and they got to finish their Disney shopping but it was a long wait. And we had a wait while in Atlanta for our layover - really just ready to get home now!

Nothing exciting to report on the flight home. The illness just made it hard but luckily we had others to help out and the kids were VERY understanding having each been sick at one point.

But I tell ya, we still had a blast and can't wait to go back. Our return trip is Thanksgiving 2008, booked just 2 weeks after we returned. I'm kicking myself for not booking on the ship!! Oh well. We're still going!!

I'm still hoping to add some more pics, especially our Shutters ones, if I ever get them scanned in.

Thanks for everyone's kind comments - hope you enjoyed it. Figured I'm paying it forward for everyone's great reports that helped us make this a great trip!!

It was great to read your trip report. we just got back from a cruise on the Magic. You seemed to handle all of the sickness in stride - glad you still had a good time. I think I would have had a meltdown!
