We will see how much Scrumpy and other AB are left from the Baltic before stocking up for the Barcelona Repo! :

Yeah I will have DD show up at the meet, she already has a friend Kiley from the EB Repo who will be on the ship.

So she is chillin!

It's pretty distracting when you drive by on the interstate. Some call (called?) it "Touchdown Jesus" or "Big Butter Jesus" (from a spoof song of the same name)

Everyone I know around here called it Touchdown Jesus - and I personally thought it was creepy - never heard Big Butter Jesus

Thanks for the reminder about transferring Disney rewards points. We needed to order a new card, too. Done.

Caro,

Your welcome

I was going to let cc companies know we are traveling and they said to wait until closer to trip as the note only stays on file for 30 days - or at least DIsney Visa and Discover said that

That reminded me of a song I heard In Texas called Plastic Jesus

Well I ordered my Oslo passes today and my printer is out of ink to print up the vouchers Guess I have to add a trip to the ink store to my list of to dos.
Still wondering where my tickets are. Just talked to my sil and she is going to call her friend the TA to check for us.

Went and talked to my bank yesterday and found out I had to submit a letter telling them when we are traveling oversees. Apparently they have turned off the International card and have to turn it on. Don't totally understand it since we have never told them before but, I was glad I happened to be in the bank and tell them about our trip. They said it was to protect fraudulent claims. Mmmmmm.... Oh well.

Another chatty day for y'all.

Yesterday there were records temps down here. DD & I were headed up to the outlets, so she could spend her b'day gift card, and we ran into a horrible rain storm. There were a couple of inches of water on the road in many spots. She was very glad she wasn't driving then, especially when hitting the low spots in the road and the water splashing everywhere. Plus I didn't think she was ready for the I-4 traffic yet.


With all the times we go to Norway at Epcot, I don't really pay attention to the buildings there. I'll have to take a good look at Akershus when we go back over there. We only went into the Stave church there about 6 years ago, we always just walked past it.

Oh I hate driving in the rain
The line for Akershus was always so long- I think I've only been on it twice over the years...Mostly I remember the ogres

got a couple of things crossed off the list to do list - Kara had doctor's appointment, and ordered foreign money - will be in Fri, ordered Disney Reward card and had points transferred and tomorrow is annual eye exams - hopefully neither of us will need new glasses/contacts though Kara more than likely will need new years worth of contacts

Just activated our reward card and had points transfered
Really should take my DS in for an eye exam too

Our foreign currency arrived yesterday! WOO HOO!!! Now I just have to figure out who some of the people, places and things are on them!

Thanks everyone. I can't beleive it is almost time to board after waiting sooo long.

Been planning this trip for over a year
Too weird that the people that convinced me to book are not on this sailing anymore

I was going to let cc companies know we are traveling and they said to wait until closer to trip as the note only stays on file for 30 days - or at least DIsney Visa and Discover said that

Good to know, thanks

I haven't printed up my door signs yet, but will probably need new cartridges before I'm done
Not a bad idea to check with the TA about the cruise docs. They look different this time plus maybe they figure you just don't need them yet...(silly TA)

Hi Everyone,

I also have been just reading all the wonderful info. We received are travel documents last week. Finally got our room # on deck 6. Someone on the board mentioned renting a tux, In the past we always have received something from Disney about renting, but not this time. Did you do the rental on your own?

Thanks

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't been around much! Between Kindergarten "graduation", high school graduation, end of the first time home buyer tax credit (I manage a large mortgage branch), end of school projects, 2 big grad parties, my mom's hip surgery, and just general life in a family of 7, and I make a bad travel friend! I do have my fish extended gifts ordered though!!!

I can't wait to see everyone! We leave for our 2 week pre-cruise adventure in Germany, Switzerland, France, and England in 18 days! YIKES! I have no idea how I am going to get it all done!

Can't wait to see you all!!!!
