Hi everyone -- saw Desiree tonight and got our lanyards . . .

Her suite at the GC is awesome!

See everyone soon!

 

[lotsofboys]

Wow, of all the days I was gone for the afternoon and you guys go and get the last Didn't we just have one yesterday?

Dh & I have never even seen the Adult areas of the ship! LOL!

I was able to spend a few afternoons on the 2005 repo at the adult pool because DMIL & DFIL were along to keep an eye on the kids.

Three years later DSs are old enough to NOT want to hang around with DH or me so of course I am wishing we were unable to go to Quiet Cove and they were still small enough for the Mickey slide


Safe travels to you all leaving tomorrow!

Tomorrow is packing day - the sequel! We have enjoyed being in Southern CA since Tuesday. At San Diego Zoo all day today and will finally (hopefully) make it to downtown Disney tomorrow - after going back to Universal in the morning to see what we missed the other day. Finish the night with laundry time and then off to the port Sunday am. Thanks to those who recommended Prime Time shuttle. We are being picked up at 9:55 am on Sunday.

We will have 3 checked bags and 3 carry-ons. At least that's what I am guessing at this point.

Tried to catch up in chat but noone there. After a long delay we finally got here around 815 ,515 pt instead of 320pt. Boy was I surprised to see no redcaps. had to get darn cart and haul my own. The flight was smooth but the seats were really hard on the butt.Got dinner from Mimis and DH is asleep already. Can anyone say exhausted. This laptop is a european keyboard and the keys are so different.I can\t find the question mark. So typing is a chore.No plans for tomorrow other than hopefully getting to DTD for the minimeet. Sleep time

 

[RobNJ]

My sons keep asking when can they start to relax? Are vactions for relaxing or having fun?

My brother-in-law KELAN is coming on the cruise. Although he has been conducting research for Harvards' Channing Lab and teaching at Harvard Medical School for over a decade... and although he has been published extensively... it seems he has just gained a greater measure of "notariety" by being published again but this time gained widespread main stream publication. Below are the links to articles he has just been published in appear below. Gee... I wonder if I got all the details straight here???

Little does he know I'm copying his email HERE ... I could not get the first link to work - maybe YOU can figure outhow to link and view it:

It all has something to do with asthma.... check it out if you have enough time to read about it:

I'm famous! (and escaping all of the attention by going on a cruise...) (hee,hee!)

lucky woman! On the 10nt Jon had the pearl necklace w/mickey head pendant waiting for me.



I am sorry that you are dealing with this type of stress right now. I do know what it is like to suffer from deppression. I was on Zoloft for 3 yrs. (that was 10 yrs ago) It was so bad that dh thought I was leaving him. He started sending me flowers with notes that said all kinds of sweet things.
I didn't even realize how bad it was until I started the medication and felt *normal* again!

Thanks I was taking Lexapro for a couple years, but it just wasn't effective anymore. My doctor switched me to Effexor last month and it seems to be working well. Depression is a tough thing. I try to not let it get me down, but it's tough.

I'm praying everything goes well

thanks

I hope all will work out in the end. Right now just enjoy the time with family and friends.

thanks I'm just going to enjoy myself on the TOAL and know there isn't really anything else I can do at this point.

I think the posting has gotten faster - all I can say is I'm almost glad the Internet on the ship is so slow and expensive - surely that will slow things down.

Arrived safely, with luggage. Only snafu was that the box shipped earlier this week (USPS, delivery confirmed) with FE gifts and books was not at the front desk and they didn't know where it was. But guest services did their usual Disney magic, and tracked it down to some guy named "John" in the mail room. A few hours later it showed up.

Otherwise, had time for a swim, soak, shower, some last minute work, a great dinner (Pasta Jambalaya at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen - yum), the monorail, matterhorn bobsleds and fireworks (great location near the top of mainstreet).

Only question now is - will I actually wake up early enough to do early entry? We shall see....

Current plan is to be at the candy meet and fantasmic - see many of you there.

well I am done as much packing as I can until DH does his. I have to see what room he has and if we need an extra carry on for shoes. Four females people. FOUR!

As friday ticks away in So. California...just wanted to say hi and welcome to those who have arrived! Safe travels to those leaving soon, and safe driving to other locals heading to the port on Sunday!

Quick question...I was trying to finish up 2 magnets and can't get one to print. It is the neat map with the dates & itinerary on it. I have 2 saved and both are small and get blown out when I try to make them bigger.

Anybody who is still around, can you repost or pm it to me?

I had the same problem and decided it was too late so anyone that looks at it can just think their eyes need adjusting

I will PM you the one I have and you can compare it to see if it's any better.

So hows everyone doing? Anyone packed? Am I the only one who has NOTHING packed so far? I have to run to LAX tonite at 4:30AM to meet some family members arriving for the TOAL. Then at 8AM I have a soccer referee training session for AYSO. THEN... when I get home at 11AM I'll nap... and upon awakening I'll begin packing!

SO what have I missed so far tonite... besides a grand finale of sprints!?

 

[pyramid2000]

More DISers arrived in CA. More DISers met more DISers. Others who aren't packed such as yourself, others have.
