I have sooo much to do, but how come I'm spending all of my time on this computer???
My mind is all over the place w/ what to pack. I always do all of the packing for the 4 of us. This seems so difficult b/c we need a separate bag for the night before the cruise, then carry on for boarding, then cruise wear, then 3 nights at Universal Studios after the cruise. I'm a mess!!!
But there is light at the end of the tunnel.....

Don't know how old Gabe is but I have a granddaughter that is 2 1/2, redheaded and has the stubborn gene to go with it. She has decided that the potty business is just not for her and diapers are a good deal! She may be the only diapered kindergardner ever! Her sister (5) says that when the 2 1/2 makes up her mind that she isn't going to do it, youmight as well forget about it because "she just isn't going to do it!"

Gabe is 3, but I had one of them red-headed children & I know JUST what they can be like... I can't say that Gabe is refusing...he just doesn't seem to notice/care that he is wet/dirty. Well, if he's dirty he actually will grin like he's proud or sumthin Has to be his daddy's genes lol

Welcome back to the Breezin' to the Bahamas , we all missed you , I had to look back to see what the first day was when you first named and started this thing WOW! Oct 2nd 2009, and we where asking then " is there anymore cruising with us out there". Breezin' to the Bahamas has come a long way.

Hi!!! OMG it seems sooooo long ago! And YOU were the first to reply
I'm glad to be back among all y'all excited peeps...even if you do plan on watching a football game on the cruise *gasp*

Thanks so much to Jen and her crew of helper fairies that have kept the board going, got the FE organized, and have made planning for this criuse funny, exciting and memorable...and we haven't even left yet!!!

- I've been trying to download a clip of the SNL skit - love the DA BEARS - not a football fan, however I adore SNL and DA BEARS skits were some of my favs

Guess at some point I will have to learn how to incorporate more than one quote per posting, hmmm

Bless my dear hubby - he has washed, dried, ironed and folded as many things as he can so that at some point I can start packing. I've given up on trying to fit in a hair appointment, so will be happy with squeezing in a mani/pedi tomorrow after work.

I start Jenny Craig today.. but some time between now and Friday have to pick up a few things as I have outgrown the cruise clothes from last year. . Good news is that my dressy clothes were from a slightly larger vintage so they look PERFECT

Ok enough fooling around . Off to work I go

I loved that too! Everytime I see Chicago play I think "Da Bears" I say it every once in a while but my Mom just doesnt get it.

A bag for the pre-trip, bag for pre/early boarding, regular bag with clothes. then food/snacks, then sort trip bags. and i hope one of these bags can fit all dd princess dresses as well as FE gifts. then the carry for the plane with toys, snacks, & coloring books. OH MY .... THINK I NEED A VACATION JUST FROM PACKING.

LOL We get to take 2 free bags on our airline. I already have one packed with my clothes and stuff. I need to pack my shoes. But the other one will be dedicated to FE gifts and things I am bringing for others <glaring at Kim>. I might even steel Victoria's second bag if I can get HER dresses in her bag. I feel like I am forgetting something though.

I wonder how long my list is of "Items I am forgetting to Pack IS'

Lets see,

- Stamps for Postcards
- Address labels for Postcards
- Extra Memory Card for camera
- A charger to something
Not sure what else but I am sure the list is much longer than this....

Ha, I just remembered batteries (or it will be a few sad FE gifts)

Guess at this point I will leave my worries behind and what will be, will be...what will be in the bag will be and whats not in the bag...OH WELL...

TA TA FOR NOW, TIME TO DO SOME CLEANING AROUND HERE...

Stamps!! good deal. and Address book! Thanks! Going to get me some right now.

Jen, here is a thought if you have the time, I typed all my address out and will print them on address labels. So that way I don't have to worry about writing out address, and my address book. Just peel and stick.
(just hope I don't forget the the sheet of labels at home, still waiting on a few more address)

Oh I thought you meant address labels of your return address! duh! thanks for clarifying that!

Remember - if you want to send mail from Castaway Cay (they have a post office) you will need to bring cash. You have to buy Bahamian stamps and they only take cash.

I also print labels with our name and address, cabin number, and the number of bags out of how many bags. I use these on the tags because they ask you to fill in that information on the tags. It looks something like this -

Name and Name Lastname
street address
city, state, zip
Cabin#:
Bag: 1 of 4 (or whatever it is)

FE GROUP 1 PARENTS:
Your child's bag from us will contain a pixie stix and a glow stick bracelet - but it is straight till it gets popped and coupled. Please don't let them mix the two up and eat the glow stick. Our bags for the kids are the bright DIS green. I'll also stick a label on it that says something about not eating the glow stick.

We didn't include one in McKenna's since she is under 3.

 

[MIZZOUMOMMY]

Anyone else concerned about the weather in the Caribbean?? Looks like something is brewing down there. I am worried about a wet cruise

 

[Beans_72]

You can ask for ANYTHING! They'll try to please if possible. We cruised with folks once who were disappointed there wasn't a Mexican night. The next night at dinner, their table had a Mexican feast while the rest of us had the regular (but it was all great!) menu for dinner.

if there are no fish tacos on the menu, I might still stand a chance of getting some?

One day closer to the trip My mother booked last minute today, so she will be on our cruise too; she cut it close when she called DCL there was no availability but got lucky and one room opened up later in the day when she checked.

Hmmm, I might want to start packing now
