4/29/06 Eastern Magic...We're Going!!!!!

[suziemva]

AWESOME! Thanks for sharing, Julie! My eyes got misty just looking at those pics!

Good visit with the bro but glad they are gone. Time for a nap!

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

We're doing the DOC DANCE!!!! UPS just dropped them off...ours came in two separate envelopes since we have two cabins...time to do some reading, but gotta make it quick...need to pick the girls up from school in a few minutes to go get Sarah's allergy shot...

 

[castlegazer]

Guys, did you have to sign for the docs - am I going to have issues with not being home to receive them?

Tom, I so know! But, the good news is, I will be traveling with hopefully two - three pairs only! Most of hers are water shoes - those just stink to put on a 4 yo while wet, I simply refuse to do it to a 1 yo. Oh, and she damn well better be walking by then - the girl will absolutely kill me and I will have to take out a second mortgage for the spa massages if she is not!

 

[suziemva]

Just checking in before THE NAP....I'm getting really worried because we haven't gotten our docs yet, even asked the TA about them and nothing. I feel like we're the only ones that don't have them in hand! Tell me it ain't so!

 

[castlegazer]

See above post, sista - you ain't alone.




Hey, you Cape Canaveral people, here is a quote from a trip report back in the day - 2004 to be exact from pdarrah:

DH was back really soon – it is only a short walk back from Budget and we went to the small Greek, family restaurant that is next door to the Radison. The food was quite good and the service was very friendly.

I would trust her opinion if it's still there.

 

[Snoopyto]

Well today was a very sucessful day. My budget woes are pretty much over with at work. My Boss is going to take the hit and I get it as a lessoned learned. So I am ALL READY for VACATION.

I think we may end up switching from Radison at Cape Canaveral. The room I booked was a smoking room and having just take DS to the ER for Migrane last night and her being allergic to Cigarette smoke, I think it be best if we find another 'non-smoking' place, least Dirty Davey Kidd be walking the plank at Mid-night, Arrrrrr.

Lisa D, don't worry about being late for dinner. We will probably be passing through Orlando at about the same time you arrive. Actually, I hope to be at Orlando airport about that time. We are planning on getting DS's Registered Traveler pass registration done that afternoon. Then from there it is fast trip out to the Cape.

No docs here yet, but hey, remember how long it took for me to get the bracelets. Only worry if I have mine and you still haven't gotten yours.

We didn't have to sign for them...the UPS dude walked up to the front door and handed them to us and punched something into his little hand-held scanner thing-a-ma-gigger.

As far as shoes go, we (Tom excluded, of course) are JUNKIES! We had one duffel bag filled to the brim with shoes for our trip to Florida last week...we seriously had 25 pairs of shoes (it's true...I just counted them because they're not unpacked yet)! Wow, that looks bad in print doesn't it??? It will be hard packing shoes to take on the cruise for a few reasons: 1.) we're flying instead of driving so we'll be more limited on space/luggage, 2.) we'll have formal/dressy shoes to drag along, and 3.) us girls just LOVE shoes!!!!!

 

[castlegazer]

and 3.) us girls just LOVE shoes!!!!!

hey, you stole my term: Thingamajiggy! I just told a lawyer to use that thingamajiggy he does on it - I think they all love me - I add a little flair and a lot of blondness to their otherwise boring prima facia lives

Q: How many lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: Such number as may be deemed necessary to perform the stated task in a timely and efficient manner within the strictures of the following agreement: Whereas the party of the first part, also known as "Lawyers" and the part of the second part, also known as "Lightbulb" do hereby and forthwith agree to a transaction wherein the party of the second part (Lightbulb) shall be removed from the current position. The aforementioned removal transaction shall include, but not be limited to, the following steps.
1) the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall, with or without elevation at his option, by means of a chair, stepstool, ladder, or any other means of elevation, grasp the party of the second part (lightbulb) and rotate party of the second part(Lightbulb) in a counter-clockwise direction, this point being nonnegotiable.
2)Upon reaching a point where the party of the second part (Lightbulb) becomes seperated from the party of the third part (Receptacle), the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall have the option of disposing of the party of the second part (Lightbulb) in a manner consistent with all applicable state, local, and federal statutes.

My flight doesn't get in until 3:20 so I know we won't make it to Cocoa Beach until close to 5:30 or 6pm.

How about trying to meet up after that for Dinner?

I made my magnetic Door signs not sure if i post them here or yahoo?

Any Suggestions on where its better to post these?

I got my Documents today

 

[castlegazer]

wherever you want to post them. I posted to Yahoo since it had our names on it.

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Shyla,

The best part is, she counts my golf shoes as a pair when she tries to balance the fact that she doesn't have to many shoes in her collection (and yes that is what I will call it). All of the Princesses in some fashion and at some time have asked me to take them "just to try on shoes", "we don't need to buy them dad", but I know how that trick works.

Lisa, thanks for the props on the door sign. Nikki, yours is waaay cooler, I'm sure you'll all agree. I just don't know how to do all those cool transparent photo layers and could ya tell I learned photo layouts from Creative Memories? lol! BTW, Suzie are you going to put yours up there? Amy & Sommer too?

No docs here yet either. I think they may be delivered to my cruise buddy in Atlanta, but I'll have to check with her.

Hey, I'm looking for the awesome video of the Panama repositioning cruise--anyone know where that was? Suzie? I think you were here and showed it to me. I thought I bookmarked it but guess not. I want to show it to Mike & Isaac.

Still havent started packing yet! I'm starting to get those freaky stomach butterflies...so much else to do, though! I HAVE to start this week or I'm going to keel over from the stress alone!

I know it's coming up on Easter weekend but where are Sue & the EGGMAN?! Perhaps the kids will find them in the grass this weekend? (I crack my self up!)

 

[rieggman]

Hi everyone,

Been reading, but not posting. Looks like most are getting their docs. Can't wait to run home and check to see if mine came today too.

Steve: Now that your doc's came we can really start getting psyched! Ours should be here soon.

Roses: I'm so sorry to hear your news. I've been thinking about you guys so much and I can't help feeling terrible about your situation. You must be heartbroken! My heart goes out to all of you.

Jonna, Shan: Great job on the Father Daughter Dance. Now that that's behind us we can really start shopping for "cruise wear"! You can always fit in one more pair of shoes. Where have you two been. I been "desperately in the mood" to hear from you here.

SuzieMva: Hope your energy is coming back. I'm sending positive vibes down your way. Thanks for the great pics. Your posts always keep me laughing.

Tom and Julie: Nice to have you all back from Vero. The pictures of the ship just made me want it more. It was kind of like...well...you know.

We had our RI cruise meet here on Sat. We perfected the Pina Colada, polished off much rum cream, sampled margheritas and diaquiris and enjoyed jerk chicken. We all had a great time. What a great bunch of people live here in RI. We're really pretty cool for the smallest state in the union.

Hope everyone is doing great. No more getting sick now. Everyone stay healthy - YOU HEAR! Snoopy - that means you! Stop working so much and "slow down"!

[GrumpyC.Hook]

I posted 4 of my 5 signs on yahoo! I can't get the 5th to load will work on it later.

I just downloaded some itunes music to my iPod so it has plenty for me to listen to!

 

[STEVEMED]

CG....I didn't have to sign for my docs so you should be all set if you are not home.

 

[suziemva]

Feeling better today. I think Trish just wore me out over there. Task master! Just kidding. My body does have the bad cooth to tell me to slow down a bit. Been drinking so much water today .....well, we'll just leave that mental picture out of it! That nap did me good too. Nothing but packing to do now for the cruise. I think the stress of Monday was part of the influence. Ed faxed over my medical form today, so that's done. Another check on my list!

Signed up to help with the kiddies at our church egg hunt this weekend. Not sure what to expect with this being our first one. Ed will be the parent for Tori so that she doesn't miss out on the fun. Side note: Ed's mom called me today to tell me to have Tori dress in light green since the other girls will be and Alice (his sis) will be taking the girls picture. Um, no, Tori's dress is purple and I've had it now for quite a while. Don't call me 5 days before Easter with a color suggestion! This is one of the little things that just irk me some days.

Hey, eggman! Will we see some pics this weekend? Figured you will be everywhere so there's plenty of opportunity!!

Gonna head over to the other site to download my door sign. Figured I'm gonna have to print it, scan it and then save it. Won't let me any other way! big sigh....

 

[suziemva]

I think I found the problem. The site says"(Total upload cannot exceed 5MB for accounts). " and we are at 30% of 30MB and I figured that is at 9MB...that is correct math, right? So, it looks like we may need to delete some pics. NOT ALL of them, maybe just a few....So, maybe could we limit each family album to 3 or 4 pics or less if you can? I didn't realize this would happen! I thought we had all 30MB but that's for the whole site! YIKES!

I did delete some of my pics and it reduced the site to 28% but it was a bit of work! Kept saying can't retrieve picture or album, etc. but just keep pluggin' away at it. If you CAN'T delete the photos (if that's not an option y'all have) let me know and I will do what I can for you.

Thanks everyone.

My TA called and said she had our docs!

CG: Shirley called me on Sunday and we talked about what I wanted for the gift basket sand pails. She said she would call me back to finalize. She is very sweet.

I love all of the door signs! CG- can you delete my pillowcase pictures (it won't let me since you created the album).

For those of you who ordered the id holders from Ebay, mine came yesterday so yours should arrive shortly. I am very happy with mine- they will work great for our keys to the world, etc.

 

[suziemva]

NIkki, since I was already there, I deleted those. Thank you.

Trying to see if we can upload to a FILE instead but it looks like it takes up too much room also. Guys, I am really sorry about this. It's giving me such a headache! Such a pain to remove photos! Takes two or three tries because of the system error messages! I'll keep plugging away....
