I asked this last night, but mistakingly did so during one of those posting competitions... For those aren't taking the pirate bus from Anaheim, is anyone using a private car or taxi? I am wondering the cost. I booked Super Shuttle and it is $60 for the two of us, so, I thought a car or taxi might not be that much more. Also, we wouldn't have to leave at 8 am. I wanted to get to the port close to 10 so that we could get on early and book Palo's brunch and tea if at all possible.
Thanks!!
One more day for us....

Sorry I can't help. DH will be dropping us off, the returning the rental to Long Beach Airport and taking a taxi back.

Gotta wash the car,run by the "Hardware Store" Walmart for some camera batteries,Moms to drop off the house keys, etc.etc. I'll try and pop on tonight.

Laura - going to bed and sleeping are two different things!
I've been "up" since yesterday!

Hard enough dealing with the stress of travel without the sleep loss to compound it

My DH is also having problems sleeping. Hope we're able to catch up on the ship. Always seem to sleep better on the ship

Of course I've told DH if he winds up tossing and turning at 2 am he can always do laundry

So I am on the verge of a breakdown. We might not be going. My Dad is feeling worse and does not think he wants to go at all. He has diverticulitis. My Mom refuses to go if my Dad does not go. My Dad is telling us to go without him. My Dad says knowing all of us will stay home makes him feel worse. They keep going back and forth. Who knows what will happen.

Just keep my whole family in your prayers. Especially that my Dad feels better. I really want to go on the trip. But perhaps it is just not meant to be.

I still have to pack. So I guess I am off to shower and pack and prepare for the trip I may or may not be going on.

We are supposed to leave today.

I hope you all have a great day.

Yes it is. Their website is www.gosedan.com I should add that this is for two adults. I don't know if the pricing is different per person.

Oh, I am so sorry. I will definitely keep y'all in my prayers. I sure hope your Dad gets to feeling better although since today is the day you are supposed to leave you may not have a lot of time to convince them.

Hey Des - They will not open the terminal until at least 10 am. When we left in July - we got off the ship at 10:15 and they still hadn't opened up the terminal. I'd wait a bit - as hard as that sounds - especially if your mom's in a wheelchair. Plus - all the die hards (know anybody like that? ) who have gotten there like at 10 will be in front of you making for a long wait. Unless they are polite and let the wheelchair in front - which if that's the case - I say go for it! Exploit - Exploit, Exploit!

Now off to search something else for that pass.

Usually they let Rich go in the front with his scooter. I told you once they put us on so early, we were the only ones wandering the ship til they opened things up.
Gosh everyone is traveling. We go tomorrow. Today is crunch day. I got crash course with the laptop. Have to see DD to get her case for it. And a few other chores. Please don't go for another Pirate!!!!!!! I left about 20 pages unread.

Good Morning Everyone,
Already this morning I have started to pack, picked up DH tux wen't to the bank and got a house key copied. Well the key doesn't work. I won't have time to take it back. DH has something coming today from UPS and it requires a sig. So I will be just waiting............ I have bible study tonight which includes a long list of prayers.
I have a matter which HAS to be dealt with before I go from Homes Association. I just don't want to deal with it and feel guilty for feeling that way since I just got the position. Really not complaining though, can't wait for this vacation to START !!!!
First things first.........Ketchup.

 

[castoff]

I was sooo excited the other night when I got a pirate and attempted to explain to DH who was on the couch next to me... He still doesn't get it. I tell him "It's just a game we're playing" and he says "When do you get your prize?"

"Do they mail it to us" "Is it one of the retired anamatronics from the ride?"

I did try and explain to DH when I called him back. He just laughed.

You got that right!!!!

If you're curious, here is a link to all the airline fees for a bunch of airlines.

It's just sad.

On a trip here over New Year's I took a taxi from Long Beach airport (pretty close to the port) to Disneyland for about $45 including tip -- I think a taxi is the way to go over a shuttle or a car service.

Morning, pirates -- off to early entry at Disneyland!

Safe travels to all who are doing so today . . .

 

[castoff]

SOOOOO excited!!! I've actually started pulling stuff out of closets and drawers to start packing for ME I'm probably STILL not going to sleep tomorrow night because there's still a bazillion things to do before our flight Friday morning ... but at least I can now say that I've STARTED. DH told me tonight that he's done packing ... just a last few things to pack for the kids, and then the only one left to worry about is me

~Kandi

Same here, I bet the un-packing part when we get home won't have the same excitment.

So I'm deleting things off of my memory stick and I come across this PowerPoint Presentation that I had done on Panama for my Business Spanish class. Here are the important parts (read: best!) of the presentation. Maybe some of you will find it interesting. (FYI-- the whole presentation was done in Spanish so the captions are, well, they're not in English. And the Spanish is most definitely not perfect!)

Nice pics. but I speak no spanish.

Hi everyone!

I was on the WB repo--it was the trip of a lifetime! I know you all are going to have a BLAST!!! Savor every single moment, take LOTS of photos (no one in our group complained that they'd taken too many pictures, but lots of folks wished they'd taken more, especially of cruise mates) and enjoy canal day. I'm reliving my excitement when I was just days away from sailing. Wish I could join you!!!!!

Have fun!!!

Thanks !! Can't wait.

Becky,
I'm so sorry you are going through such a hard time
Anyway you can delay until Saturday ?
Doesn't stress make diverticulitis worse ?
Maybe he really needs this vacation to relax
Hope it works out and you all can come

 

[castoff]

Stephanie, please tell me that you have an ugly wart on your face that you cover up with an amazing cover-up or that you actually have wrinkles - scratch that - visible wrinkles or that your a super nice lady BECAUSE.....from the looks of these pictures........it would be SUPER EASY to hate you - not just hate you but THROW DARTS AT YOUR PICTURE TO SEE WHO GETS CLOSER TO YOUR EYES type of hate.

Not that I'm jealous or anything.

Seriously, please tell me that this blondie is your dd and not you?



NOTE TO GOD: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T LET THIS BE STEPH - and if it is - please don't let me get the misfortune to stand next to her - EVER!



Just kidding - you look amazing - HOWEVER, that being said - please don't stand next to me ever.

So true !!!

We are going to dinner in San Pedro with the DT group on Saturday night and driving home that night. I think we will all sleep better at home than in a hotel room. We will then be driving to my DM and DF's house to leave the car in Palos Verdes and catching a shuttle to the port.

Hey Roger, I am not signed up for dinner but will be stopping by to say " Hi " I look forward to meeting you and everyone else.

Hi everyone! I am way behind so I'll guess I'll catch up when I get back! We leave in just a few short hours! We are finally packed & taking 2 more suitcases than I had hoped, but oh well such is life! We have 8 bags to check & 4 carry ons for the 4 of us. I can not get over how much stuff we have & we aren't even packing costumes!

I worked all day yesterday on my FE & Pirate flag. I just wanted to add some things with iron-on transfers & nothing was working out the way I wanted. It took me hours & hours & then I worked on my FE gifts till the wee hours. Nothing like waiting till the last minute huh? I was so brilliant that I took the dowel out of the FE before I ironed it & I managed to sear the back & front together which means I no longer had a hole to put the dowel through. So I pushed & pushed trying to get it back through & I pulled my back out. Oh well maybe DH will have to push me around DL!

Anyway I just wanted to say bye & wish everyone a very safe trip! See ya on the...


TOAL!!!

Diane: Sounds like your as ready for this vacation as me. I hope your back starts to feel better soon. Maybe a muscle relaxer would help.

Hi everyone!

I knew I would miss the !

I won't even attempt to ketchup..been gone to many hours today. met up with Crusin Mike for a store run...

Then DD and I played around in DTD until it was time to meet up for dinner...had lots of fun (will post a picture later- to tired!) Met up with Michelle, Mary Ann, Christopher/June and familes...Tiggerbaby stopped on by on the way back to her hotel.

Well..calling it a night! More fun stuff tomorrow!

Maybe another before we leave? shhh don't tell cheryl.

OK this is just sad. Now, I'm not just talking to myself, I'm also responding to myself. Is that a sign of being

I double checked and stress is indicated as one of the main causes of flare-ups with diverticulitis.
Found this website that has some suggestions:

Hope he feels better soon
