5/31/11 -- Chilling on the Wonder

[adnil530]

Here's a trip report of sorts along with the navigators from the May 17th cruise: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2727250

I already see that I am not going to be able to do everything

Finishing our packing, house sitter coming by for instructions...almost set! Rewarding myself with dinner out so I don't have any dirty dishes to finish up before we leave tomorrow!

15 Minutes of work left... Thank goodness!

My daughter has 1 hour of school in the morning... We just have to go for the award ceremonies, and she's on honor roll, so I hate not to go.

Then... PACK, PACK, PACK!!!! Because, while I had good intentions to pack each kid the last 2 nights, that didn't happen.

Flight leaves Saturday morning... So ready for VACATION!!!

See you guys in a few days!

If you've got a window or verandah, you might bring a clothing pin to make sure the curtains are really closed - the sun is going to be up earlier than you may want to be.

Oh..good point!

I am officially on vacation!

One of those popup laundry baskets that you can keep dirty laundry contained to one spot. I don't like the bulk of the suitcases laying in the room to put dirty clothes back in, and I really don't like it just laying on the floor. You can get them at Walmart/Target.

That's funny...I packed that in last night, along with a few clothes pins!

When we travel, we do the over the door shoe holder. Ours hangs on the door and the pockets are mesh which is important to be able to see what is in the pocket without digging around. I found mine years ago, but recently at Big Lots, I found one similar and bought it for a friend and it will work very well. I hang it while I'm packing and put a lot of misc stuff in there: 1st aid kit, extra sun glasses, scissors, tape, sun screen, q-tips, lip balm, sanitizer....all those little things you need a place to put them and there is not much storage in the bathrooms on the ship. I just roll it up and pack it! Simple.

Looking forward to meeting everybody. See you all at 3:45 outside of Triton's on Tuesday.

Safe travels!

I'm not sure if we are still part of the group because it's been so long since I've been on this message board. Can someone tell me if the Green's (arg73) are still included or have we been kicked out ? Also, our family friends I had originally signed up...are they included still? If so, how many people are we buying for?

Thanks!!

Arg73!! We've been looking for you! We need your stateroom numbers and party makeup (i.e. boys and girls for the kids)!

There's an updated FE list two pages back.

 

[arg73]

Yay! We are room 8008. My husband and I and 2 girls, 10 and 13.
Our friends (The DeLoach Family) are room 8010 and are a husband wife, daughter age 10 and son age 13.

Do we buy for the entire list and do we have an assigned night?

Thanks!

Buy for everyone one on the FE list. It's up to you if you want to do one per cabin, one per person, etc. Deliver whenever you would like!!

Just talked with DCL. Here's the current movies (this should be the line-up until Cars 2 comes out in June):

Pirates of the Caribbean 4
African Cats
Mars Needs Moms
I am No. 4
Gnomeo and Juliet
Tron Legacy
Tangled
Toy Story 3

I didn't ask (and she didn't say) which were in 3D; however, on the Magic in January, all movies available in 3D were shown in 3D.

 

[famviramontes]

I know some are leaving tomorrow so safe travels to you.

Printing FE list.
Happy travel to all.

Friday, Skagway: High 58, cloudy
Saturday, Juneau: High 56, 60% chance of rain
Sunday, Ketchikan: High 56, 40% chance of rain

See yall soon; may we all have a safe, blessed, FUN, trip!!
