8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #14

[discruiser]

Although I did threaten my now 28ds when he was about 10 that if he didn't shut is mouth I would slap the c*ap out of him. He was the type that couldn't shut his mouth....

Oh, that sounds exactly like my DS10. That boy cannot stop talking (or talking back)! So, tell me, does it get any better?

I think I will do that...plus copy the labels from the bottles to bring with me. So kind of the best of both worlds. Thanks Cheryl. Now I have to go out and buy a couple of more pill keepers. I usually just do that also, but was worried about being out of the country. I am not sure all the bottles would fit on my carry on. Getting old is heck. Plus one of my pills I have to split and I don't want to take a pill splitter. I can take 1 1/2 pills twice a day or 1 pill 3x a day. I have a hard enough time remembering to taking the second dose, yet alone 3.



Not sure, but I bought a small container like a TicTac container that has Splenda tablets (1/2 packet). I drink tea (hot and cold) and have to have some sweetener in it and since I am diabetic no sugar (which doesn't dissolve in iced tea anyway).

Did anyone see the program on Food Network about ginger for motion sickness? I don't remember the name of the show, but they put 4 people on whirling tea cups for 10 minutes with and without ginger capsules and measured how they felt. It was better with the ginger, so that is what I am bringing. But I also bought some Bonine.

No more horror stories about flights please. DH checked our flights yesterday (the same flight we will be on in 1 week) and it was over 2 hours late getting to DFW so we would have missed our connection AND the next connection. Now he is freaking out. I keep telling myself I am not going to say "I told you so" when I wanted to fly in Friday or Saturday.

I still have to get to the grocery this week so Mom and DD have something to eat while we are gone. Not that either of them cook. But I do want them to have cereal, milk, bread, etc. Usually I am trying to use all that kind of stuff up before we leave.

I saw that show....Food Detective I think??....anyway it did seem that the ginger helped....but what I noticed is before the first ride they all ate a bunch of food (hotdogs)....but for the 2nd ride, all they did was lounge around letting the first bought of motion sickness subside. I think the no food had a lot more to do with the 2nd ride being better, but the ginger did help.

Just printed our boarding passes!!!! OK, it's starting to feel real now.

Congrats to you and again HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

I hope June is doing well. Please tell her that I am thinking about her.
You all have a safe trip and see you soon.

IT's Finally REAL....

Your friends,

 

[discruiser]

We just checked in online for our early flights tomorrow morning. I can't believe it's almost here!

We did that too! Was able to get the A boarding group for all 6 of us! The plane ride should be interesting. This is the first time we've flown with 6 people.

I just have some last-minute packing, laundry and cleaning to do today. I can't believe how many bags we've got though...6 to check plus our carry-ons. I'm a little worried about how we're going to fit everything in the mini-van we're renting in FL. Hopefully, we will be coming home with less, especially since we're bringing lots of diapers, swim diapers, sunscreen, etc.

Safe travels to everyone!

I just got a confirmation email from the hotel. They have a Starbucks in the lobby!!! I haven't had Starbucks in a loooong time!

Which hotel is this? Hopefully not HoJo's or I'll have to increase our TOAL budget! Everyone in the family enjoys Starbucks but me. I do like their iced tea, but I can get iced tea anywhere for a lot less.

 

[got2travel]

I know June's running around town on last minute errands so she may not be checking the DIS today that much. Yes, her Mom and her got the dress done. It looks nice! She even has the red Scarlet wig to go with it. Bad news is the boys now want to dress up as pirates (our oldest is leading the mutiny) and so she's out today looking for something for them.



Have a safe and uneventful flight!

I'll be doing the on-line checkin for our flight in less 2 hours!

If she hasn't thought of it, send her to the thrift stores....all I did for DS one time was a pair of slacks that I cut off below the knee, a big white shirt with big cuffs, and then a long striped scarf wrapped around his waist. Found a pirate set at the dollar store, eye patch, earing and plastic dagger.

Six bags plus carryons for 6 people? I'm embarassed to tell you how many bags we have for 5 of us!!

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Ducky only did 1/2 the cruise with us... he got on in Aruba...

Joey Fatone got on in Acapulco.

Well Don Ducky please stay all cruise, Joey Fatone, you are the weakest link Goodbye!

 

[got2travel]

yeah that sounds typical....



but they're are 6 cabins in your serving station...

Maybe we are all linked...

My ressie has always shown that whole more than 5 thing....

true, I was thinking table, not serving section

but mine did change, I used to be able to see Chris's family's plans, but not any more....and I never had the 5 message, just a linked message...so something got changed

doesn't matter now...except that I never got around to printing the contract last night, so now this is reminding me to do it...hope no one else is in it

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

That's great news Andrew! Unfortunately, the suitcase fairy is not visiting the east coast today, probably not tomorrow either, so I guess I really need to start getting it in the suitcase. Although I do have most of it out on the dining room table and organized, does that count for packing????

Debi

OK Luggage fairy been and gone, (tick)

I have finished work till September now ( big tick)

Mowed the lawn ( tick)

Now where is that transport fairy taking me to the Airport, (?)

Well I am all ready but still a DAY TO GO.

 

[got2travel]

Sounds more like the plan is One Tequilla, Two Tequilla, Three Tequilla, Wal-Mart.


Hmmm, I hate Wal-Mart. Maybe if I drink first....


There is also a Costco in PV but it's farther away, you'd have to take a cab. There's one in Acapulco too, but not sure where.

I did wear my tiara all day yesterday while I was packing

Oh, what a great idea. Think I will too.


HA! I hate doing my own laundry. Bobcat or not, you're on your own.

I'm sure we ended up in a few of the same places. Athens isn't that big. I do recall entering the library once or twice.



Has anyone else's Palo reservation disappeared???
Esteri and I were linked before the big linking that happened last week. She made the Palo dinner and brunch reservations for all 4 of us since I couldn't even load the first DCL page on "hassle free" night. Now she doesn't see us listed on her Palo reservation & it isn't in my "My Cruise Plans" anymore. Someone may have to smuggle out a seafood risotto and a choclate souffle for me.

Our original plans had me and Chris's family in Palo together. I got the private room so when DCL took me off the original ressie, it disappeared on Chris's plans too. She called and they still had it in their system. So it seems with the multi linking and the private rooms, the Palo plans are not displaying properly.

You also need to say we are not the easiest people to live with!!! Thank you as I being a Leo too!!

As long as you are doing things our way we are very easy to live with. And since our way is the only right way.....

Why do our husbands even bother!!!

Isn't that the truth !

Your friends,

Thanks! June is doing better, but her biggest bruise seems to be getting worse each day. Hopefully it'll be better by this Sunday!

Mythbusters also did a test of motion sickness... Ginger worked best for them too.

Which hotel is this? Hopefully not HoJo's or I'll have to increase our TOAL budget! Everyone in the family enjoys Starbucks but me. I do like their iced tea, but I can get iced tea anywhere for a lot less.

Nope not the HoJo's... We're just staying at the LAX Marriott.

 

[got2travel]

So if the brunch ressies got canceled when everyone was linked, why did none ever show up on the Palo site?



Where do you see that? I don't see anything about being linked? I too had trouble logging in last night. So are you guys saying that since we're linked with 200 people, that if one of us is logged in no one else can log in too?

They didn't cancel all the reservations all at once, but as some did get cancelled some folks were able to pick them up. I think it's just a matter of checking several times a day every day.


When I log into my reservation or my cruise plans, there is some text in red in the middle of the page

Because your travel party has 5 or more linked staterooms, you must reserve cruise activities one stateroom at a time. Click "Retrieve Another Reservation" to reserve cruise activities for a different stateroom in your travel party.

I hope so too. Take care and have a safe trip.

Mass During the Cruise

I just received an email from DCL. They state that they do not want to appear to sponsor any specific religion, so Mass has been cancelled.

Now that I have your attention!

Just received a "tentative" itinerary from DCL. They have been gracious enough to schedule Mass daily for any interested passengers!

Mass is tentatively scheduled each day at 8:30 a.m. in the Buena Vista Theatre, Deck 5 Midship. The only change to their schedule is for the day we are at Cabo San Lucas on August 19th. Mass is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. that day.

I'll keep you posted if I hear anything more.

Oh, and by the way, for our "old time" Catholics out there who tend to get bent out of shape trying to "follow the rules", let me try to help you out: We are on vacation during this cruise. If your morning schedule/shore excursions mean that you go to breakfast and then come to Mass, I will dispense you from your Eucharistic fast. Don't let that be a worry for you!

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Interesting packing tidbit:

Tink wings do not fit in a suitcase.


Not even a really big suitcase.

NO! SAY IT ISN'T SO!

I was so looking forward to that picture of you (as Tink) zip lining.

I know June's running around town on last minute errands so she may not be checking the DIS today that much. Yes, her Mom and her got the dress done. It looks nice! She even has the red Scarlet wig to go with it. Bad news is the boys now want to dress up as pirates (our oldest is leading the mutiny) and so she's out today looking for something for them.



Have a safe and uneventful flight!

I'll be doing the on-line checkin for our flight in less 2 hours!

Chris, if worse come to worse, there is always a Halloween Store right by my house that is open year round. If your staying near DL, I can always pick your wife up and the kids and they can try it out provided it isn't Saturday! Keep in mind, they can get expensive so best bet would be to find some plack pants, a black vest and work with that.

Tell June - Good Luck!
