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

[OHJulie]

Julie - Great pictures. Especially the Speedo's and the pedicured feet - very appropriate!

Sorry I was absent yesterday - DH was out of town so it was all up to me to keep the family schedule going. Lessons - doctor appointments etc...and of course finding a way to keep the kids fed. A little secret - I don't do much cooking in this house - my DH learned a long time ago that if he wanted his food to be tasty and unburned he had better do the cooking. Fortunatelly, I do know how to pick up the phone to order pizza!

I was also trying to focus at work and actually wrap things up.

So I have been singing "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie all morning. AHHH, 1 more day until we leave.

See - now all of you will be humming that tune also - SORRY!

Safe travels to all of you who are leaving today!

You all have been great therapy for me these last long months. I am traveling with my sisters and their familys and they just have not understood my obsession for the the last year. Can you imagine that one of them actually suggested that we should not get to the ship until 1 or 2 on Saturday?? Good thing that I set up the transportation!

Aww Grumpyhook -- Last year we were on a land/sea package and DH and I stayed in Celebration our first night and I dropped my brand new digital camera -I couldn't use it so I had to use disposables for still shots -- I was so bummed - so I understand.

PhillyJen - I am leaving around 2 on Airtran so I'll be in the air when you leave. Sis is coming in from San Francisco and she has to change plans and only has a 50 minute timeframe to do so. I pray her first plane isn't late or I'll be sitting in MCO waiting for her. If all goes well we get in within 10 minutes of each other which I think is pretty cool considering she's coming in from CA and me from PA.


See you all soon!
Sandy

S

Sandy,

We are flying Air Tran out of Philly leaving at 2:11 - is that your flight?

Today is Ed's last day of working for someone else. Quite scary. But on the other hand, no phone calls during our vacation! AND NO LAPTOP~~~@@@@!!!!!!!

Have a doctor appt today. Tori's going with this time so she can hear the baby's heartbeat - really excited about it too! I cried last month when I heard it for the first time. Sucker, ain't I?!

Just switching purses today, repacking Tori's backpack with her "stuff", and getting a book to read (ha! On the deck by the pool I will be reading the same paragraph over and over because my mind will be in vacation meld! Who am I kidding?!?!?!), setting out clothes for tomorrow and doublechecking all my "stuff" in my carryon. Then later we'll do online check in, bathe Tori, and all TRY to go to sleep! Ed is just as excited as I am for this cruise (secret: He'd rather do the cruise than the parks! Imagine that!).

My shower is calling to me! Supposed to be in the 70's today but my heater has been kicking on all morning! Yesterday, I went out in my thongs and shorts! Got Tori in the car, turned right around and went back in the house to change to tennies and jeans! BRRRR!!!! Keep that cold wind in Michigan, would ya'?! Yikes, it's shock to my body!

Check in later, y'all! Bye for now!

ps -Amy, what kind of memory card does your camera take? I have a spare 512 mb SD card that was for my old digital camera. Let me know!

 

[suziemva]

Sandy,

Check your pm's.

 

[suziemva]

Hey, now that Steve is gone, are we going to find out about Tatonka?! 'Fess up, now!

 

[GrumpyC.Hook]

Suzie, Thanks but my camera had to be different and use a XD Card not a SD card. Thanks for the offer I appreciate it.


So hard to get back into happy mode. Stayed up until 3am looking through the whole house, the cars again. I have called everywhere i have gone in the last 2 weeks and no luck.

Ahhh well we leave in the AM i'll figure something out i'm sure.

To those leaving today and tomorrow safe travels if i don't talk to you again until saturday.

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

Yesterday, I went out in my thong and shorts! Got Tori in the car, turned right around and went back in the house to change to tennies and jeans! BRRRR!!!! Yikes, it's shock to my body!

Duh...no wonder you were cold...you were supposed to put the jeans over the thong before you left the house!!!!!!!

WOW! We'll be in the company of Royalty! Well, other than Steve that is!

 

[tiggersister2]

Hey Lisa D -- Yes, that's my flight also. That's funny - - how will we recognize each other -- I'll have a bright pink rolling carryon suitcase - you can't miss that .
Sandy

 

[GrumpyC.Hook]

my mom found some XD cards at a pharmacy in our town which amazes me as its like an hour to where we shop normally to find things like that So now we have a camera to use again I think Disney Magic was following us.

Now i can sit back and relax until tomorrow when we fly

WebmasterPete how nice you and Webmaster Corey and family's are going to join us!

 

[Lisa D]

Hi Sandy!

So far it looks as if the flight will be on time tomorrow - I hope so! The kids are really looking forward to this. I'll look for the bright pink carry-on. We are a party of four - me, my husband, and my two sons ages 13 (who's taller than me) and nearly 11. We will all be wearing shorts no matter what season PA decides to have tomorrow - after all, we are going to Florida!

[suziemva]

We will all be wearing shorts no matter what season PA decides to have tomorrow - after all, we are going to Florida!

Us too! Decided that the weather in FL will outweigh the weather here. Plus we will get door to door service with Ed dropping us off at the terminal with the luggage! Gotta love it!

 

[WebmasterCorey]

We are so excited!! I am trying to cram a year's worth of anticipation and planning into 2 days. My wife is graduating from college on Friday, so there's going to be some celebrating going on.

I look forward seeing you all.

 

[tiggersister2]

I'll look for you Lisa - I will probably have a coral printed skirt on - (I'm a skirt person for comfort - I'm strange. I also tend to be colorful. I have blonde hair and in my mid fifties. I'm sure we'll find each other. That's neat. Where are you staying Friday night?

Suzie - did you get my reply about the room numbers?

I'm past being excited - I'm just getting ready for it to really happen - the wait has been excruciating.

You know, I still don't know the Steve Med story - anyone want to fill me in on it all?

Sandy
overpacked and ready to go - I need sun and water and rest and also fun!

 

[Tatonka!]

ITM - Happy Anniversary - that is awesome!

And to all the other anniversarians (cool word, huh?) Happy, Happy! The hub and I - well, we're just constantly on one big honeymoon - have been for almost 13 years. I know it's not much compared to some of you but I'm pretty happy and proud of it!

Tiggersister2 - the SteveMed story will tell itself when you meet him. Did you see his picture? No wonder he burned the hair on his arm at dinner!

Tomorrow at this time we will be sipping by the pool at Ron Jon's, preparing for happy hour - two for one's..

Safe trip to all - see you on Saturday (or perhaps tomorrow...)

 

[GrumpyC.Hook]

Ok so we are all packed except our bags were over 50lbs so we are moving some into a 5th suitcase just for the flight. Then before we get on the boat we will be putting it all back into the 4 suitcases (it fit just overweight). When we get off the boat we will go back into 3 suitcases. and if need be ship some of our things home via UPS.

I can't wait to get going i really need this vacation!

 

[Snoopyto]

Corey and Pete & Families- Welcome Aboard. I know what it is like to cram a year into a few days. I think I got it alittle bit better at craming in at 29 days.

Suzie- weather here is wonderful. Might be a little muggy for you cold part of the country folks, but for us Floridians it is nice. The is a nice gentle breeze blowing right now, the sun is chinging and not a cloud in the sky. In 50 hours we will be steaming out of port canaveral. WOO HOOO!!!!
