5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 9

[sjtracey]

Apparently you sell your first born child and then pay them almost twice what the cruise originally costs and then they simply change your cabin assingment... EASY!!

Really.... you just call and ask about an upgrade and they tell you if they have availability and how much it will cost. THEN.... when you stop laughing you say thank you and hang up!!

Duh... Silly me! I thought it like winning the lottery or something else. Well, I guess it is... if you win the lottery, you can afford the upgrade!

OMG - I was thinking the same thing. Actually, I think I posted it a little while ago. It's coming up fast and I feel like I'm forgetting something. Before you know it, it will be time to board the plane and get to the Sunshine State.....woohhoo!!!

I feel the same way - coming up too fast, and I'm just HOPING I'll be able to get it all done with out forgetting something important. I've actually decided to end my temp assignment the Friday before we leave to give myself a week to get ready, packed, etc. Just making that decision made me feel a little better.

I did just reorganize the toiletry bags not too long ago, but that's what I should have done today...gone over them again. I keep different ones for different trips, too! (Cloned, I tell ya!)

Not us. Same two bags for each trip. Plus a gazzillion ziplock bags for the stuff that might leak. Learned that one the hard way.

No preorganization going on here. We'll need that stuff the last morning before we leave, so we're stuck procratinating at least that part!

The free upgrades are sort of like the lottery. You don't know when and how they happen they just do. Those, however, are few and far between especially on a sailing like ours.

Good morning cruisers!







Happy Sunday!​

I don't know why but I could not sleep last night. Didn't get to bed until almost 3 am. When the alarm went off at 5 i just couldn't get up so I turned it off. Of course my internal didn't let me sleep much longer because he it is at 7 and I'm up and feel like yuck! It is cold and rainy which doesn't help so I'm staying in today.

Yuck, Mary... Sorry you're not feeling well. Better today than four weeks from today, though, right? Enjoy a nice quiet day, and I'm sure you'll be feeling better tomorrow!!!

Good morning, all! It's been such a beautiful weekend here so far - temps in the mid-60s yesterday, and should hit 70 today. And full of ! Last night we had a bbq/picnic with our neighbors complete with Jim's specialty drink - Mexitinis (cosmos made with tequilla instead of vodka - yum!).

Today I'll be making a bunch of birthday cards (seems like most of our friends have birthdays in May) and start on the cards for the cruise staff. Then we'll be going for a bike ride later, which means I won't be able to sit straight tomorrow.


Hope everyone has a GREAT day!!!

[whnim64]

Yes, everyone gets issued new socks and underwear before a trip. One of my little obsessions. Who's gonna look??? But I remember my Mom telling me what my Grandma always told her....."You might get into an accident. Make sure you have on clean underwear".

Well, they might have been clean BEFORE the accident...

Glad someone is having great weather. It's been cool and rainy all weekend with no predicted until Wednesday. I just got me a moped to ride back and forth to work this summer; DH talked me into it. It's not exactly like riding on the Goldwing, though. I'll be lucky to get it up to 40 mph on the back roads, but at 100 mpg, we figure it will pay for itself in a couple of years. Now I just need some nice weather so I can start using it.

Maria, I was up at 3 am, but resisted getting on the boards. I really wanted to be able to get back to sleep, and I finally did. We had 30 - 40 mph wind gusts with rain. The window on my side of the bed has loose trim from the earlier storms, and I could hear it flapping all night long. DH can, and will, sleep through anything. I'd better join the rest of the family and get ready for church. Have a great morning, everyone.

 

[TiggerInNY]

Good morning all. It is now a normal hour to be up. I did fall back to sleep around 5:00 and woke up around 7:45. Hubby is home today. Do you think he got the kids breakfast? NOOOOO. I still had to do that. Anyway, the sun is out and the temps are up. It's 61.5 degrees out already and it's only 10:40am. Pretty good for us Northerners. Not 91 water temp like Fran's house, but I'll take it. Can't even think about what our pool water's temp is right now. How about freezin parts off temp??

Anyway, I just heard the water shut off from hubby's showering and I better get going. Little league parade today. Oh boy!!! Gotta make sure all uniforms are ready.

Chow for now. Everyone enjoy the day. Carpe Diem, as I say.

Sandi, I would've loved to chat with you, but I understand that wanting to go back to sleep thing. I shut the TV off and fell back to sleep, too.

Way cool abou the moped. You go girl. Don't forget the helmet.

Welcome to this crazy group. My name is Mary and I travel with my DH Mark (aka MarkRG here on the boards). We're the ones doing the web page and the buttons.

Drop me an e-mail at marygums@monorailgreen.info with all your information (click on the 5/27 link in my signature to see what we have on everyone). The most important thing is your names (real and DIS) and your room number. Let me know if you want buttons and to be included in the DIS navigator. Please put 5/27 in your subject line as we are doing this for another cruise as well.

Speaking of the other cruise I see you already have our DVC Member Cruise logo in your signature so you can send me your info for that cruise as well if you want (please make it a separate e-mail as I file them separately). We're doing the web page and buttons for that as well.

Look forward to sailing with you - twice!

True. Maybe we should explain that to Virgil. The people he sees probably DID have clean underwear.....until they saw that TRUCK coming!
