Congrats!
Darn if anyone is interested . There is a Woot off today on Woot.com. Guess I will miss all the excitement of being tied to the computer waiting to see the next item.![]()
Bye
ROCK CANDY!!!!
Variety of weights I'm so sure!!!!![]()
( I like you more and more each day!)
Awesome! They really do have some nice things..have to return the bathing suit I bought..I look like one of the tu tu wearing hippos in Fantasia!![]()
I am sure you will look fabu!
I remember the first time we actually dressed up..it was for a cruise formal night....Brendan's eyes popped out of his head! And every once in a while isn't it nice to know you can still do that!?
Chrissie
We are doing the Aruba one with you! We like hanging out with others!Is anyone doing these excursions:
- Paradise Beach Adventure @ 10:15 AM - 3:15 PM (Day 4 - Puerto Vallarta)
- Natural Wonders of Aruba @ 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM (Day 12 - Aruba)
- Glass Bottom Boat Scenic Voyage @ 2:15 PM - 3:45 PM (Day 15 - Castaway Cay)
I was just wondering because it's just me and DD6 and maybe we can meet and hang out together at this time?
Thank you,
Great news on the interview!Got a request for a 2nd interview. Waiting for them to get back to me. It will either be tomorrow or next Tuesday.
I need to go shopping. I don't have a decent interview outfit. But can't leave the house since I'm expecting 2 deliveries today. Hopefully they come early and I can head out.
good idea!Thanks for all of the work that you have done with this.![]()
I think it is going to be difficult to cover all ages. I know that the girls all seem to like the skits. Whether they are performing or watching. As far as packing their bags, might we be able to do that for a shore excursion...or in prep for disembarkation?
Carol
I really didn't want to know why someone would mount a vacuum.
OK, you are way better at this figuring out stuff than me! I just get overwhelmed.Maybe we can go with the travel theme. Below are the Brownie Travel Right requirements.
Since it seems we are going with the travel theme the Brownies could work on Travel Right try-it
Travel Right
We are already doing #1, the postcards could count as number two, they could write on them in the car. Both need a packing requirement and then they could do the scavenger hunt or sing a song. Or the Brownies could learn a few songs and present them instead of a skit, or they could do a travel skit.
Perhaps you're going to the park or beach with your family. Or you're planning an overnight at a friend's. Maybe your Girl Scout troop or group is going camping. It's going to be a lot of fun!
#1. Be Prepared
List five "Safety Smart" rules to follow whenever you take a trip. Make individual checklists to put in your backpack or luggage.

#2. Busy Kits
Put together a small bag of things to keep you busy on the road. Some items you might take are:
* A book (or books)
* Song sheets so everyone can sing
* "License plate bingo" cards and crayons
* Cat's cradle string
Make sure the bag is sturdy, and that your name is written on the outside. Use it with a friend the next time you're on a bus, train, or planes, or in car.
#3. Scenery Scavenger Hunt
Before leaving, make a list of 10 things that you expect to see on a trip. Check off the items as you go along. If you are traveling with a friend, you can each do a different list and see who gets all 10 first.
#4. Travel Journal
Create a travel journal for your trip. Write a description of the places you went, the people you were with, and the things you did. What did you like the most about your trip? Why? Draw sketches of what you saw and did to go along with your written record. Collect souvenirs such as postcards, menus, and brochures.
#5. Sing a Song
Make up a song about traveling. Sing it with your Girl Scout troop or group, or with your family on your next trip. Make up hand gestures to go with the song.
#6. Pack It Up!
A day pack is great for almost any trip. If you are going on a hike, take along:
* A water bottle
* A whistle - in case you get separated from your group
* A rain poncho or windbreaker
* Coins for the phone
* Sunscreen and lip protection
* A sit-upon
* A bandanna
With a friend, list the things you would need to pack for these different trips:
An overnight at a friend's:
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
A 2-hour car ride:
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
A day at the beach:
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
Now, pack up the things on your list! Does it matter what goes first? Where would you place something that is easily breakable? Is your pack more comfortable when you pack it one way rather than another? Is your pack too heavy? If so, is it possible you have packed too much?
Or possibly Brownie Girl Scouts around the World try-it
For older girls they could work on the Travel Interest Project. I do not know where my interest project book is located.
That wiill be cool if we can hang out. I am glad that you are going to the samething in Aruba.We are doing the Aruba one with you! We like hanging out with others!![]()
Great news on the interview!
good idea!

Navigator Update:
Here is a list of activities I have so far. Please note that I did not inlcude things that will be in the regular DCL Navigator such as Mickey Mouse Club Night, Catholic Mass, etc. To keep this post from being 8 pages long, I'm only listing the day, time and title here - more details will be in the navigator. If you are a Leader, you have the details in a PM.

While it appears that I have severals here, I would like to ask those of you who ordered t-****s, are they silk screen or that heavy plastic stuff? My husband is kind of particular...

Thanks...not sure if I will make it to the gym ..but I know I really would like to get some walking in...on sea days!
Chrissie
You didn't mention that before! DD has tracheamalacia and laryngomalacia and whatever causes her swallowing and general low tone issues. This is why she's tube-fed. Luckily I didn't need a c-section.
By a month into our NICU stay, we could really tell who had just given birth (they all walked kinda funny, ya know?)
Remember when I would post a "travel quote of the day" on the other thread, Andrew? I might do a few for this thread before I leave:
"The world is a great book . . . they who never stir from home read only a page." --St. Augustine
Do you need to know if we are planning to join you on the walk to the fort? Still trying to decide.
Thanks, Carol![]()

Navigator Update:
If you are a task force leader, except for Peter, you should have received a PM from me this morning. Please respond ASAP to confirm the information (many of you have already - thanks!). Peter, I'll send your's tonight, the rugby info is on my other computer.
If you are planning an event and didn't receive a PM from me, and you name is not Peter, that means the event is not currently listed in the Pirate Navigator draft. Please send me the information ASAP!!!

HELP!!!
I'm really struggling finding activities we can coordinate for the girls and I'm stressing big time! We have 1 Daisy, 5 Brownies, 8 Juniors, 1 Cadette and 1 Senior.
I do have some ideas from 2 people for some Junior things that we can probably use.

Girl Scout Badge Idea...........Let me know what you think!
In the Junior Girl Scout Manual there is a badge called "On My Way". Junior Scouts need to complete SIX activities, not sure about the Daisy's or the Brownies. I came up with three activitie ideas here.
Things we could do to earn the badge: 1) Find out about a couple of "Travel Careers" - maybe interview the Cruise Director, a dining room server, the excursion manager, galley manager, etc. 2) Each girl could create a travel post card of the port they are most looking forward to or that we have visited and they blind swap them with each other............THEN.........once the girls are home they could write something on their postcard and send it to someone totally different (we would have to assign an address). 3) The girls could brainstorm safety on the ship and how to stay safe - travelling in pairs, etc.
These are just some ideas I came up with........someone might have something to add or something totally different in mind. Give me your thoughts
#1 - Postcard making (msaseifert's idea was great!)
#2 - perform little skits in groups
#4 - would they let girl scouts in the kitchen? or maybe bring a chef to us?
#7 - Everyone will probably already have made a packing list
#8 - travel careers - (I think that msaseifert's interview idea fits in well for this!)
#9 - brainstorming safety on the ship (excellent idea!)
#10 - Everyone will have already packed their own bags!
Now this is already 7 choices, so we could eliminate one or do a bonus in case one doesn't work out.

BTW, I did mention that the Magic had Mr Bug Spray Man on the ship bright and early spraying right? So I guess they do have that problem. Might explain those ugly welts on Megan, Andrew and my legs. Although mine aren't as bad as Megan's - she looks like she has mumps. He was coming out of the elevator as I was getting in. Yuck! Don't ask as they will not confirm but I tell you, he was there - you all know the man - with the beige uniform and the canister with the spraying wand?that was him - spraying to his little heart's content. I saw it with my own eyes. At least now we know I am not crazy.

Ok just for fun,
For me it is a potty for my just-3 year old.Any steps backwards in this potty training nightmare just won't do so I am bringing the trusty/familiar potty/step stool combination for him. After all, when he's not happy, no one is happy!

Chrissie they have a good variety of weights. If you don't have anybody to walk with let me know. I trying to convince Cheryl we need to do this.

I also think this is something we should do in less than an hour as to avoid conflicts with any other things people may have planned.![]()
Winotracy sent me a PM and said she would be willing to talk to the girls about being a travel agent...........if the time works out for her & she is still willing then she will be our travel professional the girls can talk with.
