9/26/2010 Breezin' to the Bahamas!

GOOD MORNING CRUISERS!!!

The Donalds represent the number of hours (X4 since the powers that be limit the number of images in a message) till the Tikis leave. I know some of you are already there so enjoy it all! Some of you (ok, me) have yet to pack but that's okay; it'll get done. Soon it will be "happy, happy, joy, joy" time!!!!!!!

All I have to do is pack, head to the bank (I forgot to do this the other day) and we're good to go. If it was up to me, we'd be leaving after my husband gets home from work this evening, but I would be out voted. I wonder if I could be persuasive enough to convince the others Either way, we will be leaving at 4 am tomorrow morning the latest.

I hope everyone has a safe, enjoyable trip to the port

Can you believe we are so close? Yet it seems like time has slowed down! I have packed everything except for my shoes, and the very last FEs that I am still working (but we are on the home stretch thanks to my Mom sewing like a mad woman yesterday! THANKS MOM!). I dont think I will believe we are going until we are on the plane.

I can't wait, but at the same time I feel oddly sad to see this board wind down. I know that means we get to meet each other and cruise
but I have started to get used to checking in here and seeing what you were all up to.

I know some folks went down a few days early, more are leaving tomorrow and we are going early Saturday morning. I guess that means the wind down is already happening.

I can't wait to be on board!

For those of you departing soon - be safe! Don't like a !!

 

[btjhayes]

I agree Mack...can't wait to meet everyone but sad to see this board dwindle down.

Hardly anything is packed (not my usual), FEs aren't done (not my usual), still haven't bought all that I need (not my usual)...BUT thankfully I have tomorrow off to finish EVERYTHING!!!!! And I'm ready to get out of town!!!!!!!!!

See you all on SUNDAY!!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG! We're leaving soon! OMG OMG OMG!

There isn't enough time! I can't pack! I can't breathe! OMG OMG!
<Deep cleansing breath>

Whewwwwww......ok. So....I have FE gifts but have NO CLUE if I have enough.
Does someone have a list with all of the staterooms participating and the # of kids in each?
Oh yeah, we're in 2019. No upgrade for us this time but as the wife keeps saying...we're never in there anyway.

Can't wait to see everyone in PC! Assuming that I'll not have time to cathc up on the last 50 pages of this thread, is there anything I'm supposed to know or do for Sunday?

I can't help you with the FE list, but on Sunday we are trying to have our group wear a bright green lei or multicolored lei if you can't find green. That way we can start to recognize each other in the port terminal. But, if you don't have one, or don't want to wear one, just look for those that are so adorned and come join the group.

Also, we are meeting at 3pm in the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3 for a meet and greet. Be there!

See you Sunday!

 

[Webmiester]

I am SO ready for our sail away party!!

Just thinking about the ships horn playing "When you wish upon a star" just about makes me tear up.

A-Men brother.... I get the same <choke> feeling.

I dont know if I will be able to find my leis so I will have a white tshirt on with the breezin' to the bahamas picture on it. I am planning on getting there as close to 10 as possible so I should be near the tvs trying to entertain my daughter while we wait 2 hours! Leaving Sat morning! woohooo!!!!!

 

[Webmiester]

Oh duh, I guess I haven't posted my 'details' yet.

We are leaving Shah-lut Saturday morning and doing a leisurely 10 hr drive to good ole port canaveral.
We are spending Saturday night at the Residence Inn, free of charge (Thank you marriott rewards points!). They are kind enough to let us leave our car there for free (Yay!) and have an el-cheapo shuttle to the port in the morning. However, I am going to drive DW and Peanutmonkey to the port with the luggage, going back to park the car, then taking the shuttle myself to the port.
We will have breakfast and are targeting being at the port around 10:30.

Anyone else staying at the Residence Inn?

[Webmiester]

Well, its not free for us but maybe dinner? I am sure we will be swimming if it isnt raining.

Just thought I would share this email I received from my travel agent,She was just on the DVC cruise.... enjoy:

"The Disney Wonder is an incredible ship. When I toured the inside staterooms I was so impressed with the size, it is amazing how much storage they fit into the room and yet you don't feel crowded at all! They have a new inside lounge above Quiet Cove Pool we didn't get to see, so make sure to check that out for me!! The fitness room has an amazing view, try to get there even if you don't want to work out!! Make sure to wave goodbye to all the folks along the shore when you leave Port Canaveral"

She was just on the DVC cruise.... enjoy

I just sent you the most recent copy of the FE list from my email account. And I got your email as well.... Yep we can drop off a little pirate extra for you all.

Internet still down at home. Came down to work to use the pc. We are 99% packed, got my nails done today for my bday (thanks mom!), and found out I dont have to work all day Saturday! YAY!!

Jenn, your breakfast is free....its one of their standard perks...and one of the reasons I chose it:
Highlights
•Spacious suite combines comfort and functionality, including high-speed Internet access
•Fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker
•Complimentary high speed internet access
•Crisp, Clean Smoke Free Hotel
•Hot Buffet Breakfast included

so....we'll be stopping for dinner on the way down...but buffet anyone?

That's weird because they told us that you only get the breakfast on certain rooms or a package or something and breakfast would be something like $8 each. I was like "uhhh I will go to McDonalds!" LOL I will see when I check in.

GOOD MORNING CRUISERS!!!
Half day for me today then pedicure and last minute running errands and home to pack. I'm hoping that process doesn't take too long. I WONDER if I'll be able to sleep tonight. Maybe I'll sleep and just DREAM of all the MAGIC awaiting us come Sunday and through the week. I can't wait to plop - and I mean plop - in a deck 4 chair and stick my nose in my book!!! I am hoping for good weather, but honestly, I'm certain Mack and I will have a good time either way.

Kamy, I can't wait to see you, hug your neck, and wish you a happy birthday in person! I'm looking forward to time with you and Steve, Vera and Norma, and Ryan and Liam! Please tell Ryan and Liam we can't wait to sail with them on Mickey's ship!

Have a great day everyone! I'm off to 5 hours of my wonder-kiddos! I do love my students!!!!! They're amazing!
