7 day Western - May 7, 2005???

[bratray]

hi
sounds like we all have the same great ideas!!

we're flying in the day before & plan on wearing our bathing suits under our clothes when we board.. will bring a carry on with essentials till our luggage arrives

i have also priced capt marvins and hope to do the half day snorkeling- i have shown my DS5 pics of the stingrays- hope he isn't too scared to get in the water once he sees them in person

whenever i see summer clothes, shoes or swim gear on sale i add this to my "pile" of cruise stuff- gotta pretty good pile of stuff going right now

if only the time would go a little quicker but the anticipation & planning is a lot of fun too

bratray - I know what you mean, but the holidays are almost here and it'll be January before we know it. By that time, Colorado will have all their summer stuff out I figure by the of February, I'll be packed and ready to go

Thanks James for bumping that up!!

I've adjusted my timer since we are now flying in two days early for the cruise

 

[bratray]

hi teresa

where are you staying at before the cruise?

lucky you to get there a couple of days earlier

 

[Tera]

bratray - DH made reservations at the Comfort Inn at Cocoa Beach. From their website, it looks really nice, close to everything (including the beach).

Kids are missing an extra day of school, but the flight is cheaper if we fly out on Thursday instead. It'll be nice to just have some hangout time when we get there before the cruise.

Hi everyone.
Still finding stuff for the cruise. Went to dollar world and found fan misters in small size.. James

 

[Tera]

I'll have to check out a dollar store and start finishing up on my shopping.

We're under 160 DAYS!!!!!!

Time sure flys by when you are having fun!

James

 

[bratray]

congrats on your weight loss tera!! i really have to get on track with mine- its just so hard during the holiday season- the month of Nov just flew by- as will dec with the holidays approaching!!

i have made a little corner in the bedroom where i deposit cruise stuff i pick up at bargain prices- the dollar tree is one of my favourite "vacation" shopping stores

 

[Tera]

Thanks Bratray!! I still have a long way to go, but some is better than none

We don't have a Dollar tree around here (that I've seen), but there are other dollar stores that I need to check out. I have most of my "drug" type stuff, but still need other odds and ends.

 

[jrp]

Bump!!
Hope everyone had a great turkey day... Won't be long before St.Mickey will be here//..

let the festivities begin..

James

 

[bratray]

soon to be under 150 days!!!!!!!!

Hi guys,
Bad news. I may not be going on this cruise. I am starting a new job and I can't use any time off for 6 months! I could go but I wouldn't get paid for the week. I figure if that's the case I might as well book a summer cruise for 2006 when dd is out of school.

 

[jrp]

Hi Leggs22
Glad to hear of your new job but sad also
James

 

[Tera]

Legs22- Sorry to hear that your not able to go, but a jobs a job. I hope your able to rebook your trip for another time.

 

[bratray]

hopefully you will be able to swing it, if not it will give you time to plan for another cruise! congrats on the new job
