Cindy - I owe you - I stopped at Target before my drive to No. Cal. - I am packing now & wow - it works!! Thanks for the info.

Kathy - I am looking forward to meeting you - you have shared so many tips and suggestions that I found invaluable. Plus your caring - that has meant alot to me.

Tami - So, so glad you're over your illness - we (me/DGD/DSIL/DD) are fighting this cold thing - and @#*#@* it all we not going to let it win!

Oh - we are all so excited - our first cruise - I'm actually glad that I've got alot to do on Fri. before our flight or I'd just be here jumping up & down. My older grandson said he can't sleep - "how many hours until we are Really there."

Happy Sailing Everyone!!!!

Chris,
I ended up getting a RX of Zithromax and I took some of the airborne. My DH is hard headed and wonttake any medicine. Men, they dirve me crazy. Do you feel bad or is it just a cold and hoping that it does not turn into anything else? Sending pixie dust your way.

See you all tomorrow.

Hugs

This is it guys, ONE day left!!!!!!!!!!

I too am glad to have a busy last day so the time will fly by quickly!!!

Even though i have been many, many times, I still get really excited still. I think I get worse with each cruise!!!!!!!

Cindy, Don't feel bad, I didnt have a clue where CC was either my first time. Guess I really didnt care, just so long as it was there and we were going there to have fun was all I needed to know. I figured the captain knew where to go.
See everyone tomarrow,
Hope you ladies who are working today are able to concentrate on your work ok.

Chris - I'm glad you were able to get the space saver bags! They really do make a difference in how much stuff you can get in - and for coming home, just stuff them back with dirty laundry and you're packing is all done!

We leave in 4 hours! We have a family tradition of eating Mexican food on the last day of school before the winter holidays, but today we weren't going to have time. Nathan was disappointed, esp as today is his 1/2 birthday. Then I remembered that there is a Don Pablo's in Gainesville - so we're going to stop there for an early dinner on the way to Cape Canaveral. Definitely better than the McD's we usually end up with when traveling!

Anyone know if you can get chips and salsa on the ship?

We made it home about half-an-hour ago and most of the unpacking is done -- easy enough when you just put it in the washer

It was so great to meet everyone! We were so sad to leave this morning.

What happened to the person who was taken off the ship by helicopter? Heart attack?

What happened to the person who was taken off the ship by helicopter? Heart attack?

I asked about it but no one would say. I heard that it was a child / young person. Our dinner mates were in the spa when the helicopter got there and that's what they heard from the CM's in the spa. Sure hope whatever it was that they are ok.

Did you hear the "Bright Star, Bright Star" announcement over the loud speaker earlier in the week? That was code for a medical situation according to a CM I asked.

Hey - and what about the person they paged at time to leave from Key West? We were thinking that perhaps that person had gone ashore but hadn't gotten her KTTW card swiped on the way back in - or else she just wasn't back on board.

We had such a good time. I just got my photos uploaded and will be working on captioning, etc. I hope that the rest of y'all will share some of your photos as well.

FWIW we rebooked onboard for Dec. 17th, 2006 for a 4-night on the Wonder.

Hey Cindy, it was good to meet you and your family! We got a lot of good photo ops too!

FYI, the magic for less dot com has group space on your sailing. Here is a link for the pricing, you might be able to save even more if you are interested.

Colleen - thanks! I emailed Stacy earlier this afternoon. Our dinner-mates included Emily, one of the TA's from TMFLT... they have also rebooked for the same cruise and she let me know when she got home that there is group space. So hopefully I'll be able to save some $$. I was hoping to put together a 7-night by doing B2B 4 and 3 on the Wonder but DH wasn't convinced. Oh well

It was so great meeting everyone, and the best part was having familiar faces all over the ship. DH was wishing he'd opted for a run on Castaway Cay on Friday morning - and I know next year that's what he'll do now that we have our bearings and know the island better. We did enjoy a family bike ride.

 

[Scotch]

I'm so sorry I didn't get to meet you all! I missed the 3 pm group meeting on the first day because it was a rough day for my 20 month old and he didn't get down to napping until just shortly before that, and he would only nap in the new bed if I would lay down next to him. He ended up loving the cruise; we enjoyed it as well (though I must admit we loved cruising better when we cruised without a baby). Hope everyone has returned home (or reach the next vacation destination) safely.

Hello on Boxing Day to the fellow Canucks on this thread- anyone rushing out to do some day after Christmas shopping?
Endless laundry was done yesterday and we are getting our land legs back.
I don't think I met anyone from this board, but I did meet some nice people.
We had an excellent time- this was absolutely our best family vacation (so far). Happy New Year to all!

Oh, the cruelty of reality! As usual, they drug me off the boat kicking and screaming! (LOL)...I tried throwing myself down on the bed and having a temper tantrum...didn't work...tried hiding in the bathroom...they found me! Go figure! We made it home around 7:30 Saturday night...unpacked only our alcohol and the little things we had purchased as gifts. The endless piles of laundry await me today! Found the 2 spots where my cat had expressed his...um...displeasure with me and cleaned those up. Had a house FULL yesterday...my DM who was with us on the ship, sister, BIL, nephew (his first Christmas), MIL, FIL, Khakismum and family, and another family we are close to.
Much to our dismay, we were not able to rebook onboard...had to choose between a deposit and the house payment. Sadly, the mortgage won. Considering we had just spent 3 days at WDW, just couldn't do it. PLUS, my place of employment has just changed vacation policy, and I will not be able to take so much time off. I know we're going to WDW again next Dec w/the other friends who were here yesterday...she's retired military so we're doing the Shades of Green thing. So, not sure at this point when the Magic will be home to the Hardy's for another week.

We had a great time, and hope that everyone else did too. Hope everyone made it home safe and had a wonderfu....excuse me, MAGICAL Christmas!!!
