We won't be able to make JB's...but we are really looking forward to meeting all of you on the ship! :grouphug:

WHAT? You're going to wait THAT long? Oh, come on....hunt us down in the terminal at least! :)
Look for me....I'll be the one in the ash colored shirt with the ice cream cone on it! :lmao:

I really want to meet your family!!

I think I remember a post MANY months ago about this... oh yeah... HERE it is...
back in January... when the 'packing list' discussion was going on...

(Edited for length... the list went on forever)

I do NOT like your memory.

Note to self....do not DO or SAY anything around KikiKaren that will potentially come back to haunt me. She'll never forget! :)

OM lets me pack my own stuff, but instead of taking out, she makes sure nothing needs to go in. I actually forgot to pack shorts once for a week long WDW trip. Good thing we had a washer in the room!!

Uh...honey....I love you, but that's OLD news. We've rehashed that story several times on this thread (and possibly the 10 day thread)

You REALLY need to keep up (ok, ok, you could say the same about me and the housework!) ;)

MAJOR TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENT



Ah, beautiful. This is now FL Tour's problem....not mine.

But I AM glad that I put in for them to pick us up from the airport at 7:00am to get us to the port at 8:00am....that way if we have a detour we won't be late. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
 

ohioMickey said:
That would be us too, except we have TONS of stuff going on between now and when we leave. Plus here in Ohio we aren't really wearing our summer clothes yet.

Well, maybe that's because for SOME of us....they DON'T FIT anymore. Darn dryer! :lmao: :lmao:

FYI- FROM THE LOCAL NEWS WEBSITE


Now that It's official, I-95 and the Beachline will be closed for at least the next month, everyday, during the morning commute from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. or longer in Brevard County, here are some alternate routes.

If you usually take State Road 528, you may want to use U-S 192, State Road 50, or State Road 520 to go east or west.

Folks traveling north and south should use U.S. 1 instead of I-95.

Of course, traffic is going to be much heavier on all those roads, so be sure to leave plenty of extra time and bring your patience as you head to work or school.


LATEST PORT STATUS

May 4, 2006

Port Canaveral is open and operations are normal.

Because of periodic road closures in Brevard County due to brush fires, please dial 511 in Florida for the most current information on road conditions and alternative routes.
Found the story on Fox News. Doesn't look good! You and the Burt family stay safe!!!

Can't remember who asked about Lab kids going to JBs- we'll be there with dd9 and ds11 !!!
It was me...Now I can tell Jake and Katie that they'll have kids to meet. We're staying at Ron Jon's on Thurs/Fri, so we don't have the Radisson advantage this year. We got a great deal for a 1 bedroom at Ron Jon's, so I took it. Now I wish we were at the Radisson. Oh well!

We watched the orange glow through the trees last night... from our house its about a mile or so away as the crow flies... we got a reverse-911 "you might need to evacuate, so be prepared" call yesterday... if you go to wesh.com, you can watch the live coverage from the chopper...

Send any PD and all the rain you can spare!!!

That's interesting! JUST in the morning??

Does that mean we need to travel that route at other times?? or not at all??

The morning fog, mixed with the smoke, makes it impossible to see anything. There was a horrendously fatal accident yesterday morning when 4 semi's crashed and burned to the point that they had to use backhoes and dumptrucks to move what was left of the trucks...

95 is closed right near our house... which is now sending ALL of those semis through P.O.... wonderful.
 
Yikes! Stay safe everyone! So since I-95 was what we were going to use to get up to JB's should we now go on A1A?

MAJOR TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!:car:


I JUST HEARD ON THE LOCAL NEWS THAT I-95 and the BEACHLINE (Rt. 528) WILL BE CLOSED DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE FOR THE NEXT MONTH!!!! DUE TO WILDFIRES AND THE HEAVY SMOKE!!! SO all those folks flying into Orlando or staying in Orlando you may need to find an ALTERNATE ROUTE to get to the PORT!!!!! I WILL KEEP MY EARS OPEN AND KEEP PEOPLE POSTED ON THE STATUS OF THE OPENINGS AND CLOSINGS OF THOSE ROADS HEADING TO THE PORT!!! START YOUR PLANNING NOW!!!!!!

Thank you for the info. I was working on driving directions from WDW, and I will add in alternate routes that avoid these roads.

:wizard: Everyone in that area stays safe!

I do not expect I-95 near us to still be closed when we go to JB's, if it is A1A doesn't run straight through From Daytona to JB's you have to go on route 1 in a round about way to get there....I guess it depends where you are coming from, but ROute 1 is the way to go if 95 is closed..I-95 is Closed by the Port ONLY from 5 am-9am

Any word on how long the closures will last? Will the road to the port still be closed between 5am-9am on June 3? My FIL will be driving from WDW to pick us up after the cruise, so I will need to know what to tell him. Thanks!

Here's lots of pixie dust. pixiedust: I'll be saying some prayers for y'all too. If those of us in GA blow really hard then maybe some of this rain would make it your way.

It isn't Friday but I thought a nice rendition of I Wish It Would Rain by the Temptations - dedicated to our Friends in Florida!

Hmmm
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away.
My girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom.
So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange.
But I wish it would rain. (How I wish that it would rain)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside. (Such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen.
I gotta cry 'cause cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah.
People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain.
I just wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, let it rain.
Rain, rain, rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby. Let it rain.
(Let it rain) Oh yeah, let it rain.

[Instrumental]

Day in, day out, my tear stained face
Pressed against the window pane.
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain.
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops.
And no one will ever know.
That I'm cryin'... cryin' when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain.
Oh, I wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby.

Let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.
Oh, yeah, yeah listen.
I'm a man and I got my pride.
Give me rain or I'm gonna stay inside.
Let it rain.

(Let it rain)
(Let it (rain) (rain) (rain) rain, rain)

Tell him to keep his eyes and ears on the news, they did state that it would be for 1 month or so.. and it is only in the AM...sorry but that is the best I can give you
 
It's hard for me to imagine that FL has droughts. But I remember a few years ago when we went in May, it was the same. It might be an interesting drive from Vero Beach to Daytona on the 26th! Crossing fingers that these fires end soon!

I'm surprised you didn't get a sarcastic comment back from my DH on that one!!! I'm sure he's got a few...
