9/26/2010 Breezin' to the Bahamas!

[ckdsnynt]

If someone can mess it up, I can sure do it! Went online today and tried to go over all the activities I had confirmed. Hit the wrong button and cancelled everything, even our cruise reservation, then the computer locked up and couldn't undo anything! Scrambled for 20 minutes trying to find the Disney Cruise line phone # to have them check and they say everything is still there. I'll check tomorrow and make sure! Grrrr!

Now, what I should have been doing today, repacking! Got most of my clothes packed and of course, have twice too much so I am going to go back and eliminate half of it. So, if you see a little granny with a top but no bottoms or a bottom with no tops, yep, that would be me! I just know I have waaaayyyyy to much in the suitcase right now!

Still have no magnets printed. DD says it is no biggie - she will do them tonight! Okkkaaaaaayyyy! Whatever! Maybe just doing some fingerpainting and putting magnets on the back for our door! Should be easy to find us!

Hope ya'lls day went better than mine!

May not be around tomorrow - having out patient surgery on hip so I -hopefully - can walk better. Hope dr. is right! Keep fingers crossed! Since we are doing WDW first (pre-cruise) guess this is it for me! See ya in the boat!

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

Oh no don't say that. We want Breezin weather.

Most of the computer models have it continuing to move west into Central America. The couple of models that do have it eventually moving in a threatening direction have it weakening before it becomes a problem for our cruise and destinations. At least that is how it is at this time. Soooooooo...I'm not worried just yet.

However, forecasts for the areas around the Bahamas are showing anywhere from 40-60% chance of rain most days. Hope we have a good driver that can dodge the precip.

I hope Castaway Cay, is not a mud pit....yuck

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.

Great tip...thanks alot.
We are doing post cards from the port and CC as well as WDW

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

Welcome Mom....
Did she have to pay for a whole room just for 1 person....wow....

Our bags for the kids are the bright DIS green.

That's our FE bags color too

We are all packed and ready to go

Hey everyone! Started going through what clothes to bring tonight....and since I didnt lose all the weight I wanted to, well lets just say I am less than happy with how I look in my clothes! My own fault though....exercise is boring and I like to eat DH says I look great, so I will just go to him for the confidence boost when I feel crappy! LOL!

Our FE gifts for kids are the same across the board. I apologize up front to the really young and the older kids....we just did all the same (except boy gifts for boys and girl gifts for girls). It was easier for us!.

Good news is, all my cruise laundry is done! Now just packing it all up and trying to condense it...I mean, I think I got at least 6prs of shoes coming along!
DH is now officially off work for 12 days!!! He is trying to get used to sleeping at night and being up all day like a normal person He hates working overnights, so I hope this helps! Now he has 5 nights to try and get it together!

Hope everyone is doing well! Welcome to all the new cruisers joining us and I cannot wait to meet everyone!

Early morning parent meeting for me, so off to work a little early! Have a great day!!! See ya real soon!

I had to read that a couple of times and check the date of the post. MICKEY hands! gotcha.

This non-sleep is killing me. Victoria had me up at 12:30 and I set my alarm clock 30 minutes ahead because I usually hit the snooze for 45 minutes. Not today! Today I hit it once and cant go back to sleep. Yesterday morning I didnt set it and woke up early. ugh!

FE stuff is all packaged up, but I still have to pack which shouldn't take long.

Soon we'll all be on the cruise Soooo looking forward to the trip

Welcome Mom....

She has the room just for herself, so it was full price. It wasn't horrible, esp. for her booking so late.

 

[Princessandthemommy]

OMG.... Just when I thought I had all our FE gits packed (stuffed) in 1 suit case, I find another bag of gifts.... hmmm, guess it is time to squeeze and stuff... (me jumping up and down on our luggage)


Pirate Night...
Just wondering if anyone needed any Pirate items, I have a few extra adult/child. If so send me your name and room # and I will put it in your FE.
(I forgot I had bought some mask and hats, so I have a few left over)

WARNING... Please be advise that I stopped my diet and work out plan, and my swim suit may be a little upset with my tummy.... (I have put on a lot of weight IMO in the past year....(life,stress, age) and the flab has made an appearance. lolololol ( I wish I really could LMAO= Laugh my A@# OFF-)


TaTa for now

Oh that is good...she could have bunked with us....
I got her a little something to put in your FE for her (nothing grand but a little something nonetheless)....

I cant believe that you had surgery today and are going to fly out tomorrow!!

So, I am here, been packing all day and getting ready to cruise! Hope everyone is well! I will post again when my internet starts working again...thanks!

Glad everything went well. I'm in agreement with the pp though - I can't believe you're flying out tomorrow and that doing so is okay. Wonderful!!!! Just be sure to take care of yourself!

Hey Gal - Sorry about the internet not working; I hope it is fixed soon.

All I can say at this point is - my mind is SOOOOOOOOO ready for this break!
