Your art work in your siggie just gets better and better! Thank You! I am both terrified every time I see a day slip away and more excited then I was the day before!

Thank You, But I can not take the credit for all of the art work I have posted. I borrow heavily from others and change from there. The two from today I will have to admit I just changed and added the words. I will also say that I am having alot of fun with the graphic work. I am using a part of my brain that has been shut off for a long time. (My job is very analytical and mundane) But thanks for your words.

On the other hand my daughter could probably wait. . .

Had my teenage daughter out with me tonight and we were cruising down the small sample size/travel size row in the store and I said no, no, no that won't be enough, we are going away for half a month you know. . .The look of pure shock on her face was priceless. She is our go to girl and babysitter extrordinare so she was just realizing She would have her two younger siblings to care for and the two older brothers to boss her around for that long as well. Poor thing, I better find some mighty fine souvies to bring back for her!

We are bringing our youngest with us and the other 3 are staying home. You should have seen the shock effect on the oldest three when they realized that A; Their sister was getting 2 weeks off from school, and B; She was going to Europe. That was PRICELESS

We are doing the exact same thing...taking our youngest of 4 kids. But the others are ok with it because they don't want to make up all that school work!

Thanks for the book suggestions. I love to read, but only seem to have time when I'm on vacation. I've never read JD Robb. But I think I'll pick up a few of the titles you mentioned. Don't want to pack too many books, so the exchange will be great. I was kind of surpised that there was no library on Magic. However, with shorter cruises and so many activities I guess I understand. Who knows, maybe I won't be reading all that much. But all those lovely sea days.....

Second, I managed to find a simple black dress for the cruise and it actually fits and looks pretty good. Now for the clever ways to make it look like at least three different outfits.

Scarfs in different colors is one way. Jewelry is another. You could always buy one of the cheap little tiaras for one night goodvibes). A colorful belt - if it would still look good with a belt - is another way.

I just quickly wanted to swing by to say officially goodbye and Bon Voyage to all of you. As you probably remember, I had to cancel this cruise as my employer had put me on enforced vacation time over Christmas and I had no longer enough vacation time to do both Transatlantic Cruises. I was hoping that I would be able to sort something out nearer the time and rebook, but unfortunately this did not happen. So we made the decision on Friday to book the first Med cruise. Whereas I was going to do this cruise solo, we will both do the Med cruise so that is an added bonus. So I will see some of you who will do a back to back cruise and to the rest of you, I hope that you will have a wonderful cruise.

Did anyone see this about Maderia? I wonder if we're still stopping there?

Stephanie, the train to Rome is easy to do. Rick Steves' guidebook has good useful information.

Thanks!

DD's are both in Sleeping Beauty. It started with older DD getting cast as Sleeping Beauty age 10. The min age with this group is 8 and that is what DD is. Well they also needed a Sleeping Beauty at age 5 who they could not find at the auditions. Well the director told Broooklyn (older DD) to bring her sister in to see if she could do the age 5 part and she got it. So I have 2 "Little Beauties".

The show opens Friday morning. They were at the theatre all day yesterday and Monday starts dress rehearsals.

If you guys want to be included in the free lanyards and the corresponding recognition by us, please let us know by posting whatever information you are okay with sharing: first names, cabin # (or GTY, like so many), Main or Late dining, hometown, special days during cruise (anniversary, birthday).

[/I]

I posted a few days ago, not sure if you saw, but think it got buried in with the other stuff going on. We would like to be included in the landards/mini navigators/FE Group if it isn't too late. Thanks AuntLynne/all those involved in the planning!

First names: Brandi (DVCGirl49) & Derek (no DIS name yet!)
Cabin #: Cat 8 GTY
Dining: Late
Hometown: Albany, New York
Special days during cruise (anniversary, birthday): This is a belated Anniversary trip (2/14th)
Donald or no Donald?: Would like to have Donald on the tags if you can.

That is so exciting, wish we could see it! I'm not sure how well I could deal with that much excitement while planning this trip. Aww the energy of the young!!

What does GTY stand for? I see it a lot and was just wondering.

You know what? Why don't you start now & do a little test run - try using a travel size for the stuff that you need? Then you could know how much you'll need for the trip.


As for Madiera, I'll bet they re-route us to another port.

 

[DisneyHeather]

Were the magnets fairly easy to make? Did you have to make many adjustments?

You should be happy about no more clothes shopping - now you have more money to exchange for Euros!

- Lynne

Yeah the magnets were fairly easy to make. My mom helped me cut them out once they were laminated because I'm not very good with scissors and every time I'd cut one she'd laugh and fix it. I have a few that are smaller because my sister printed them out for me and didn't realize she could make them bigger but they will still work.

Is everyone familiar with this site?

barcelona-tourist-guide.com

It has all the necessary information regarding the Cruise Terminal, local shuttle bus along piers, taxi, parking, and airport directions.

Just a reminder to the veteran cruisers, I'm sure.
A useful information link for the new cruisers among us, (including me).

...Had my teenage daughter out with me tonight and we were cruising down the small sample size/travel size row in the store and I said no, no, no that won't be enough, we are going away for half a month you know...

--PICK UP TWO! It's better than lugging a full size bottle of whatever ... and you don't have to bring them home! Remember, DCL provides some nice H2O toiletries, which can be replenished at any time. I typically ask for a new bottle of Body Butter, as it is grrrreat for sunburn and dried skin!

Did anyone see this about Maderia? I wonder if we're still stopping there?

--Not sure, but I hope so. If DCL has ANY reservations about the port ... there is PLENTY of time to switch ports ... perhaps to Canary Islands. Looks like a call to DCL will be made on Monday ... not that they will have any updated information ... but I want to make sure they are not going to sit by idly, when time is fast approaching.

I love moments like this. Have fun in Red Rock Country. Sedona is so pretty.

Thanks. Yesterday we drove to Oak Creek vista point (6,000 feet elevation), and it was snowing! Coming from Southern California, it was magical.

[woody73]

It's pouring rain in Phoenix, how is the weather in Sedona? So much for Arizona sunshine!

Yesterday it was raining off and on in Sedona, too.
