Sue - my 15 yo won't go on a trip without his. So, yes, we will be packing game boys, mp3 players, portable dvd's, and Lord only knows what else.

I gotta go and do something around the house today. Hmmmm...maybe some laundry. Now, don't get too jealous. Wish you were here, huh?

Nice day outside. Sun is out but the wind is still here. Temp is around 41 degrees right now. Don't think it will get much warmer. When is this wind going to stop? Enough already. I feel like I'm in Chicago....

Have a good day everyone. I'll check in later.

Edited to add: Another TOP for the day!! Thismus be my lucky day!! A TOP shared with laundry and the weather..

It's not a VW Bug, is it?

(you just knew that would get me out of the woodwork... )

 

[Dancind]

The trick is to have 2, and after they are almost out of the house, have another one...

That would be a good trick here! This is assuming that you started very young, yes?

 

[Dancind]

We generally pack the laptop, which will play movies, and maybe a music player of some sort. Whatever the latest is. But now Kevin's ipod will download pictures, and we haven't watched movies on the flight for a while because everyone is reading. So we might leave that big ol' laptop at home! But then how will I check e-mail before getting on the ship? hmmm

There's an article in our paper this morning about Nintendo DS and their "brain game". It's purpose is to keep old minds sharp. Not that anyone here needs that, but I think a DS might be in our future. For the Dog game, of course.

When I first read this, I thought a Dearest (or Disney) Son would be in your future ... refer to post below. Then I realized it was just a Nintendo.

Where's the tag fairy???

I was having trouble, too. I had to call my info in cause we are coming in earlier than Saturday. If you are coming into FL a day earlier, the CM said that it won't take it and they had to do it manually on their end. Hope that helps.

Funny thing is...I don't recall them ever wanting to know about our flights before...
Sounds like maybe they just want to know about the people who are flying in that same day....not that they'd hold the ship for them, though.
I'm not going to worry about it...unless maybe we won't be totally registered if that info isn't there?? I'm not sure I like this new online stuff.

What's the name of this game? I might just have to fight the kids for their DS's.

They held the ship on the January cruise for some ppl from Canada who didn't get in on time (for whatever reason) I knew we didn't sail until ??? maybe about 6:00-ish. We were at Dinner (AP no less) so we missed sailing out of Port Canaveral.

But I don't think they hold the ship for just anyone....I think you have to have booked your air through Disney.

I'll make sure we have the video camera so we can get some "what we saw from the beach" shots for you. Might be the first time we see a full moon rising over CC in the afternoon.

If you win money on Funniest Home Videos, you have to share!

A MORNING TOP WITH WINE PACKAGE INFORMATION

Diana - we were disppointed with the wine package on our November cruise. We ordered by the glass in January and really thought the wine package would be a good idea, in fact we were looking forward to it....Perhaps it was our server, perhaps we did not understand, perhaps wine packages are not for us...but...

I thought we could have 7 bottles of wine and if I wanted a glass of botle 1 and a glass of bottle 2 and a glass of bottle 3, it would work that way Not really, They intend for the 2 of you to have one bottle each night. Sam and I like different types of wine, so already we start with 2 bottles. That was accomodated, but then the next night, the half bottles were on the table. I did not want that wine with what I ordered, I wanted a different bottle. Then when we went to Palo's, we decided to use one of our wine package bottles for me (remember I was slightly seasick). Apparently, they do not keep your wine when you go to Palo's for the table the next day. Much apologies and inquiries about how much was left etc. so wine did not arrive until after first course. And of course, you have a tendency to drink more than you wold if you were ordering by the glass. (OK, what is wrong with that?),

Now our tablemates had a good experience. They used the traditional approach as they ordered one bottle after selecting their meal and drank the same wine together.

As many things, it is a good concept if it works for you. I think we will resort to the wine by the glass. That way I can try 2 or more wines each night if I like.......

Comments posted for whatever they are worth...

Thirsty now...

I don't think Kevin and Diana will have to worry about "leftovers"....seems we all passed the bottle last time!

 

[justmestace]

I've gotten a couple of e-mails over the past couple of days with updates to the gallery. I will try to get to them as quickly as I can but work has been a little crazy and I've just been too beat at night. Please be patient with me.

You can mention it, but, you just may have a stalker following you next week! In a really cool Cubs hat and T-shirt...

Thanks for the warning, I appreciate knowing what my stalkers look like!

So THAT'S what I did wrong! I had ONE.....and then had TWO. stupid stupid stupid

Same thing as Kevin's monkey, isn't it???


Not sure how to log this T.O.P. ....... I was using Virgil's THING...didn't even know I had a T.O.P. with Maria and Kevin's monkey.

Isn't there a LAW against all that?????
