Love the Bahama Mama page Wendy!!!! Your pages are great.
I have only made about 4 pages with pics from our first cruise Feb.2008 and zero pages for Feb.2009. I plan to work on more pages in about 10 years!!!

Dorky safety drill pic....

Keep the pics coming! Mickey Mail arrived, yea..... Would love to come to the 10pm meet, but doubt my kids will still be awake! We originally started planning this cruise 2 years ago(even though we still have done WDW in between) Truly seems crazy that it is just a mere 3 weeks away. Equally excited to be going to Discovery Cove and Sea World. Praying I look "ok" in the wetsuit At least I will be sure to get pictures of the girls by themselves with the dolphins!!

Until We are seeing this!

Not fair you tease!! LOL! I can't view the pics at work..I have to wait till I get home....

Oh well, co-worker is off again, and I'm pretty much caught up on everything, so the day will be filled with obsessing and making lists. I'm glad I don't have much shopping to do...I just have to find everything...which is going to be quite a task!

Wendy,

I am taking after you and making my lists today. It's getting a little out of control One for main suitcase, one for carryon...the list goes on and on. I wish I had saved my packing list from our Jan cruise but I must have deleted it

Busy packing here... even bought Bonine today!! Are the evening cool? We are going to WDW afterwards and I have warm and cold clothes.... gathering it is windy and bit cool in the evenings on the ship or am I wrong about that??? NEver been gone 8 nights before!! and NOW you have to pay for luggage. Going to try to just take three bags.... pay for 2 and 1 carry on(along with our usual backpacks).... thankfully flying home southwest and will check all three in and not have to deal with them.

cute pic Jill... wish my babies were that little again

wondering on the evening temps too, on the deck, Pirate Party??? How breezy is it? How warm a jacket, windbreaker type?

 

[disneydarling07]

It was a little chilly at night. I think it was really windy only on the upper deck. The deck with the pools were fine, it was more enclosed. We brought just windbreakers for the kids and they were fine. Dh and I just wore sweatshirts. We came from Chicago in February, so luckily we had these with us anyway. I certainly didn't plan on it being chilly in the Bahamas...lol.

Wendy,

I"m having a little trouble cutting back on the wardrobe part! I keep thinking "it's only a 3 day cruise"...but we need clothes to wear down there and then we have the whole day after the cruise. So it's really 5 days. I thought about doing a load of laundry on the ship, but...lol....do I REALLY want to???
I"m still going to try to put my stuff and the kids stuff all into one bag. DH will have his rolling duffle bag. Then it's down to just packing a carry-on..you know...the one that is going to weigh about 40 pounds!

It's starting to get really cold here in Chicago, so I figure I can have most of the packing done this weekend..seeing as we won't be needing summer clothes or swimsuits anymore...

That's my problem we are leaving on the 6th and headed to my mom's until the 11th. Granted I could do laundry at her house before heading to orlando but I still have to pack warm and cool clothes. I only wanted to bring 2 suitcases 1 large for our clothes and my rolling duffle for everything else (Fe gifts, shoes, makeup etc) but I just don't see it happening. I think we are going to end up with 1 large, 1 small, and the rolling duffle. Ugh.

over New Years Cruise it was mid 70's lows were upper 60's

We are going to WDW afterwards and it can get really cold there at night. I have no idea how I am going to pack it all in these three suitcases! Guess I can ship stuff home if we buy much or wash a load at Bay Lake Tower(which I really hate to do) If the weather is really nice, we will spend alot of time in our swimsuits so the kids should be able to wear their jeans more than once... in 21 days I will be in Pittsburgh Airport.... am I the only one staying at the Hyatt the night before the cruise???????

 

[disneydarling07]

We are staying at the Radisson. Just an easy day relaxing on the beach. Only because they won't let us on the boat earlier! lol

 

[disneydarling07]

I just realized that we are all going to be on a ship in the middle of the ocean on Friday the 13th!!

I don't know why I thought this was pretty funny...LOL..

Maybe it's just a nervous giggle....

 

[LynnF0513]

If it makes you feel any better I was born on Friday 13th and it was a VERY lucky day for me

 

[disneydarling07]

Doing the happy dance!!! Got my Mickey Mail today!!!!

 

[jedijill]

You lucky people! No Mickey Mail for me. Thought I had some Monday and it ended up being my VS order (I have to pick up packages at the apartment office). Tonight it was birthday present from my grandmother. Get to my apartment and there was a UPS tag on my door. I'll have to check at the office tomorrow night to see if I finally get my Mickey Mail!
