Evening All!!


Cannot believe the ship is sold out. I was hoping . . . oh well. It is going to be great no matter where the cabin is.

I am STILL working on my magnets.

I REALLY have to start packing! I have started pulling but not serious yet.


Janeanne

Let me know if you need help with your magnets.............!!!!!!!

Let me know if you need help with your magnets.............!!!!!!!

I appreciate the offer - Decided on a project that is just taking longer then expected - but isn't that true for anything - LOL

My day was ok......The kids were good this morning, and I got a few things done. But two of our friends are using our pool for the private swimming lessons............The girls were not happy but they were supposed to be at camp..But my two friends and myself decided to pull the kids out it was AWFUL.....But we went to the Orchard to get Fresh Peaches with my parents this afternoon, then dinner, and then swimming again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear that you were able to get a few things done! Sounds like the pool is still getting a lot of use .

We had a pretty good day here...lots of running around and we were in and out most the day. I am happy to say that I am now in for the night!!!

It is especially true when you start a whole bunch of projects thinking you will have time to do every last one of them!!!

That is soo the truth!!!!!!!!!!!

So true!!

Jen--I will look for you in the terminal! I'm going to try to go to some of the meets, but like others have said I don't know what's going to be going on at the time. I will definitely will be on the lookout for everyone. I know several of us will be on some of the same excursions.

Janeanne

me too! I've got to get busy and get things ready to go!

 

[kritter]

Well, I have the twin's mostly all packed up....YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow, I am going to lay out the rest of my clothes...............

Ok, I don't check the thread for one day and we're up to page 8!!

I'm not going to go back and requote, but here are my responses to the previous questions about meets:

1. Since we will be arriving to the port at opening we will for sure look for everyone in the waiting area. Will look for Jen holding lanyards.
2. I like to be up front to the stage during sailaway party. Once we pull out we head up to the front to watch us sail out of canal.
3. Kids will be at pools after embarkation so we'll look out for you there too
4. Plan on doing Adult Entertaining Series, although our Palo brunch conflicts with my favorite-desserts on Monday (although I can make part of it).
5. Tastings-want to try Martini. do they tell you when you're signing up which liquor it is?

Started sewing my Mickey heads for the tie dye t's. I only did 1/2 of the first one while waiting for Jim's grandma at the doctors today. What a pain it is trying to sew with dental floss- keeps getting tangled.

Getting ready for this weekend-picnic at Jim's boss house during the day then heading to Rhode Island for a quick getaway to a friends house with 2 other couples. Still need to pack and I have kickboxing early tomorrow.

Magnets are complete. Fish Gifts STILL need to be assembled. I haven't done them yet because I can't decide whether to package everything as one gift for the cabin or divide out the kids gift. My DD and her friend may be doing the delivering so it would probably be best to have one item per cabin as not to confuse them. Packing...lots of odds and ends are accumulating on my dresser but no clothes have made it to a suitcase. I have no idea how many bags we'll take down. We're flying Southwest so we can take 2 pp-not that I want to be lugging that many. The Disney portion before the cruise is what is messing with my head the most-I may actually have to do a load of laundry onboard.

Ok-off to pack for the weekend. I wonder what page we'll be up to by Sunday evening when I check in again Have a good weekend everyone!!

Just wanted to wish everyone safe travels.

I have been busy packing and may not get a chance to come back on, but wanted to say thank you to Jen for putting together so much enjoyment for everyone on here. Jen opened up a door to many new friendships!

I hope to meet everyone once onboard.

I will be looking for people wearing lanyards.

Love this quote Andrew!!!!!!

Wow - that's interesting.

I am in a category 1 and my sister is in a category 2 and DCL called her only at couple of weeks ago to ask if she wanted to upgrade to the other category 1 - so it must have been available.

She didn't take it because we are already spending $!$>$!$>$!$>$! on this trip, but so whoever booked it only got it a couple of weeks ago if it's filled up now.

Sold out means super crowded excursions, right?

We are booked private at Tortola and St. Thomas, and jet skiiing and cabana massage at CC.

Is there a list somewhere of the excursions everyone is doing? I'd love to see what everyone else is up to. There was a list like that for our DCL Med cruise.

Looking forward to it all!

This cruise has always been very popular coming at the end of USA school holidays and midway through UK ones, people like to go to Florida and then cruise and rest, and the extra draw of Tortola. I think people then canceled and then availablty came back.

The ships are always full so no differnece there.

Just wanted to wish everyone safe travels.

Welcome to the Weekend

 

[caitlinsdad]

Wow only 2 weeks and a day to go, Dec 4th 2007, seems like a long time ago since Andrew posted the first post opening this cruise thread.

Some of us have been on the cruise from day one, some joined later, some had to drop out, but all in all we are almost there.

Final planning, items to gather, pack, planes, trains and automoblies to catch.

To all that are leaving soon, safe travels and we will see you on the Magic soon.
