5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 10

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Hey...you know what?? We can now officially say:



WE CRUISE NEXT WEEK !!!!!!!







And with that thought, panic begins to set in...............

Okay you can quit that. I still have shopping and packing to do! (some shopping- all of packing) and we leave for WDW early Thursday morning! ack ack and triple ack

 

[justmestace]

Was anyone else watching the Survivor reunion last night and wondering who that guy was that said he was Aras? He looked completely different!

That's what WE all said! Wow...get the guy home and feed him a few good meals....his face really filled out, huh??
There was one shot of him, right at the very end, where Jared and I said "Okay...NOW that looks like him. Kind of."

 

[kikipug]

Kiki, you don't like Denny? I like him better than Alex. But it will be so sad if he dies, because then Izzie killed him. Seems like that would be the end of Izzie's career, doesn't it?

Nope... can't stand Denny... he's too sappy... Alex, on the other hand is great... tells it like it is, no sugar-coating... doesn't worry about being PC...

Izzie has definitely ruined her career no matter what happens... though I have to think that she'll try to put the bandage scissors in Denny's hand if it looks like they can't save him...

 

[ohiominnie]

BTW,

Are any of you bringing a laptop along?
How do you suggest securing it in the stateroom? (It will not fit in the room-safe)

I posted this question on the main cruise board and have had some looks, but no answers??!!

susan

We are not bringing a laptop this time (as far as I know)....but we have taken one before and have left it in it's case in the closet without even thinking twice about it.

 

[gptmba]

We have taken ours on cruises and to hotel rooms, and have left it out, but turned off, of course. Haven't had it stolen yet...knock on wood.
We've never had anything disappear on a Disney cruise (or any other).....I think you'd be safe to just leave it out, or put it in a drawer.

I have taken mine on our cruises, but I was kinda thinking of not taking it this time. I haven't decided. I just keep it in the case until I use it for whatever; downloading pics or watching a movie. It is a hassle for me since I carry it and another carry-on bag and I know that I will have to stop, take it out, and turn it on before boarding. Just so that I can download some pics. i think I might just buy a MUCH smaller portable DVD player and another memory card for the camera!

Yup, personally I don't even put my jewlery in the safe. Just shove it in with everything else in the steamer trunk. Really the only ppl with access to the room are the room stewards and I trust them.

The only things I have disappear on our cruises were door magnets. In fact, I was just gathering our old magnets (we're reusing the pirate ones from the 10 day even though my parents won't be here this time) and I couldn't find my green Home Depot Mickey head magnet with my name. And then I remembered. Mine (and ONLY mine) was stolen on our last cruise.

Well, what about Danielle??? The only time I remotely recognized her was when they showed her profile.

We decided to not takes ours and just have DCL burn a disk if my memory cards fill up. For $12 it is worth it to avoid the hassel of carrying the computer especially since we don't need it on the trip to the port.

 

[justmestace]

That's true...her too. It's always interesting to see the people once they become jury members and at the finale....amazing what a hot shower and a little makeup can do!


Does anyone else think they set up that last challenge so that Danielle would have a better chance of winning?? I think it was obvious that a tiny girl would be able to balance on those better than a big guy........

 

[Coachpug]

I leave tomorrow for a 'business' trip and get back Friday, then I have less than 1 week to get ready for the Cruise....luckily most of my cruise stuff is put aside so it is ready to pack when the time comes....

 

[justmestace]

We're not taking ours. For one thing, there's no one online to talk to!

And I don't plan on being in the room to use it anyway. If I absolutely need to use a computer, I'll use DCL's.
The portable DVD players are so much easier to carry.

Yeah, when he was hugging his family. There was a guy there that looked more like him than he did!

 

[Dancind]

Nope... can't stand Denny... he's too sappy... Alex, on the other hand is great... tells it like it is, no sugar-coating... doesn't worry about being PC...

But George saw her do it. Poor George, just when he realized that Izzie is McFamily.

Speaking of which, his new girlfriend? Nut job!

By Thursday I meant Thursday before cruise. I would really be panicking if it was this Thursday! Just clarifying. LOL
I do have some stuff set aside or like clothing hung up seperately for the cruise- but still have some shopping to do (especially for my fat butt- didn't lose the weight I wanted to before this cruise- and for my eldest who decided to grow AND finally gain some weight right before this cruise. Even the stuff I bought her just over a month ago- for this cruise- are too small for her now! And she's hard to shop for... hard to find things to fit her butt/thighs yet not fall off her at the waist. LOL) and then pack everything up. I tend to wait until pretty much the last minute to pack anyway though- for all our trips. It just works better for me- I hate packing things and then either repacking or having to dig things out of the suitcases that are needed before the cruise and whatnot. I'll start packing clothes once they are all purchased- then I'll finish packing and pack the toiletries and such usually the night before we leave.

I'm mostly panicking about the shopping... I still have nothing to wear (that fits my size at the moment *sigh*) for semi/formal nights! Have long black skirt- need "formal" type blouse or something to go with it. I'm off to go shopping for a few hours right now. LOL

Yeah, we said that too. They needed to add a little drama, I guess. Either of the guys would have taken Danielle, and everyone knew that.

 

[tinksdad]

It's my D50 ebook that hasn't arrived yet....and I ordered mine last Tuesday!
I hope I get it in time for the cruise...if not, it'll be mine "summer school.

susan

I got an notice of shipment on Monday the 8th and my eBook came on Saturday. It's pretty thorough, you should enjoy it!!

BTW, what size compact flash card are you using??

 

[Dancind]

No laptop for us this time either. We all have ipods, and Kevin bought some gigantic memory cards for his camera. I may need to check my e-mail by next Friday though. Hey, Jim? Can I use your computer? Does JB's have wireless connection? I know you won't need it, you will be busy in the trunk of your car.

 

[Dancind]

A little worried about Elvis, our cat. He's going on a year now with a heart condition, he's been hanging in there. He had a bad spell last week, and we thought we were going to lose him. But he rallied, he's eating again, and being annoying again (which means he feels better). He can't stand being alone, and he can't eat hard food anymore. We have a housesitter, and I hope she's here every night because he needs fresh food and a lot of lap time.

Business trip to Turks and Caicos, MUST be nice!!!

If your laptop has a security port on it - buy the cable and chain it to the chair. Quite frankly I've never had an issue with leaving it in it's case.
