8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #10

[tom31b]

Great question! I was responding to the PV time solely for communication back with those in the US. I hope that the ships arrives at 9:30 PV time so that we can make it off the ship and downtown before noon for the zipline tour! Is there anyway we can tell by looking at the WB Navigators??

The instructions were very specific that the ships are normally not on PV time....

So, it's different from shoving random objects up your nose or ear, but I think people might appreciate this story (as it's also a DCL story)....

I was chaperoning a youth group trip that included a 3 night DCL cruise. We were in Atlanta (having taken the red-eye from California) and were just getting settled on the Orlando flight when one of the kids calls out to me to come quickly (with that kind of panicked tone that makes you really move).

I scramble over and find one of our guys with his sweatshirt sort of over his head. It seems that he had succesfully zippered his sweatshirt to his eyelid.

We called over the flight attendent who looked as stunned as we were, but was quite clear that while she had no idea what to do, she knew we needed to push back fast. So, with no more than a quick warning to the other chaperones, and a few seconds to grab our carryons, I was off the flight with the kid waiting for the paramedics while everyone else headed on to Orlando.

The next five minutes saw a parade of Delta personel who had been seemingly called from every part of the terminal - everyone wanted to see the kid who zippered his sweatshirt to his eyelid.

The paramedics spent a few minutes debating how to proceed, when one of them decided to take the direct approach - he pulled on the zipper handle - hard. Success! The eyelid was released with just a bit of bruising. And the Delta folks had already booked us on the next flight which went smoothly.

No other mishaps on that trip (well, other than the injury on the ship when one of the other kids decided it would be a good idea to play soccer on deck 10 with a basketball while barefoot.... but that's another story).....

$Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a pirate wench costume SUPPOSED to be tight? Isn't that the point?

There is sexy tight and then there is "OMG! What is she thinking tight"!

I haven't done any planning/packing either...... I did try on the formals I plan to wear to make sure everything fits and I have the right undergarments.

I am going to be taking a trip to Soma at Southlake w/ my "special undergarmet needs outfits" .


I am going to try my Moms method packing over mine. Hers involves actually laying the outfits out, TRYING THEM ON !, and making sure it looks good and it properly undergarmeted.
My method is a whole lot easier; just go in your closet, pick put what you think you will like to bring- and throw it in the suitcase.
Warning: This will result in formal pictures w/ a big hunk or your bra showing.

 

[m&m's mom]

I know someone, who knows someone, who will be on this cruise.
A friend of a friend from work. He is traveling w/ his DD, his mother, and the nanny.
I really want to find out who he is as he is supposedly makes in the 7 figures. With this information I am thinking I want his cabin on the tour list.

 

[darthrugby]

Are you bringing a tame 'accursed simian' too?

My girls bought me a stuffed monkey from the movie (in costume). Don't know if I will be bringing it though. I thought of buying a real Cappucine monkey (stuffed) don't know if I'd be able to get it aboard. My wife was ready to have me commited (in fact she still is, everytime I mention the word fabric or costume).

Maybe someone can borrow one from the Zip Line

Or for Stace.....

I felt the criticizing part came from his constant complaining about how long it took to get the food from the Disney warehouse and complaiing about the Disney kitchen equipment. But, truthfully he does that on every show.

Yeah that's true... They did make it seem like it took forever to get the food from the warehouse. I don't watch the guy and can't imagine watching him again... Just didn't like him!

CRUISE HELP NEEDED FOR PASSPORT PICTURES PLEASE!!!

Tried to get them done today but the PO that the website says does not need appts does so we go on Tuesday. I found a site to set up the pictures on the main board but cannot find anything dictating exactly how the pictures need to be done. I have heard in the past about your ears needing to show and you can't smile. Does anyone know if this is true. I really don't want to go in Tuesday and have our pictures rejected. TIA so much!!!

Did someone send you here yet?

Ok..this story should have come with an ewwww warning! Ouch!

Reminds me of a scene from Steel Magnolias

Are you referring to the wedding scene with Olive Dukakis (sp) says that the one lady's dress looks like two pigs fighting to get out?? I love that scene!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

Well..my DD has never shoved anything up her nose or ears but I do have a not-so-funny story.

Tori loves tea..we have taken her to tea cottages and she and her Grandmother always got tea when they went out to eat. When Tori was 5 years old..they went to IHOP for breakfast...I recieved a call at work (let me tell you..one of those REALLY awful calls!) Seems the waitress had put the pot of boiling water down in front of Tori and before my mom could grab her...Tori had pulled the pot over to try and "pour" it herself..we still don't know why she tried to do that..she never had before..She said at the time that she thought the waitress gave it to her to pour...kids gotta love em!

Tori unforuntaly poured the entire thing over on her lap..2nd and 3rd degree burns on her arms, legs, and pelvic region...she was wearing sweats and I guess a patron in the restraunt thought to pull the sweats off of her (I heard that sweats hold in the heat and keep burning)

My call was a result of the paramedics having to take Tori to the hospital..it was a really long trip from work but when I got to the hospital..it seems that everyone at the restaurant and the paramedics had done the right thing..Tori no longer has any scars..as she grew..they went away..she still loves tea but to this day..she waits for someone else to pour.

Lisa this websitewill help you fit them to the correct size for a passport. Take them on a white background. Then upload the picture to the website. It will help you adjust the picture to the right size. Then it will create a digital image of 6 - 2x 2 inch photos for each person. You can either print it yourself or have it printed at a photo place.

If you have multiple people you need passport pictures for you could digitally cut 2 pictures for each person and put three peoples' pictures on the one 4 x 6 picture. Otherwise you will have 1 4x6 picture with 6 - 2x 2 pictures of the same person.

Does not that movie have all of lifes lessons in one movie? "Our ability to accessorize is what sets us apart from the rest of the animal world". My personal favorite: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger".
