Anyone cruising May 8, 2004 Western?

[KC22]

Mike,

I think it will be a half day for me as well..........

If the boss lets me..

 

[CAMICKEY]

KC - My boss told me to take the whole day off. We'll see how much I finish between now and then though. I'm just the type that if I do not get my work goals finished before th trip, then I will think about it every now and then on the cruise. (I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT WORK ON TE CRUISE). Wish I was your boss, I know what my answer would be. - Mike

Only one more night of work for me. Then I'll have tomorrow and Thursday to finish packing and then Friday we're off the the Radisson. I can't wait!!!!!

Ah yes, Tom, I remember, hopefully we will be on the same bus to the boat..and living in NJ, and working in NY for 15 years, I agree about the "PUBLIC", but it's the nature of the beast in the great northeast.. KC

Couldn't have said it better myself....

Nature of the beast..LMAO

Hi Everybody!,
Hearty Thanks to Camickey for pointing out the thread! Me, DW, DD1,DD2, DM, DMIL,will be joining all of you on board the Magic next week! I am "already there" mentally!
When is the DIS party? We'd love to attend. Last Nov 1st I hosted a DIS party for all DVCers in the North Texas area and it was great! Big turnout about 60 total and I'm guessing with a little cruise concept mixed in this could be awesome!

Good morning/afternoon everyone!!
I am having a fabulous day knowing I only have approx 4 more hours of work WHOOHOO and not much at all to do.

I came in late this am, went to the salon...whoohooo...I am more than ready to go. I had an urge on the way in to work and stopped to have my belly button pierced...that sounds SOOOO funny...I just couldnt' help myself...hopefully the salt water will heal it well!!

I picked up a few international phone cards on the way in also. The friggin things are 1.50 per min from Mexico! UGH! I am sending them back. I am gonna call this company that I heard has good rates and you can call from the bahamas too. Its called a global access card. I dunno. Whatever, like I want to check back in and hear the bad news from the locals..NOT!!

Well, I am all packed just a few minor things to throw in. I am very excited and just got word from my friends in florida that they haven't forgotten I am flying in tomorrow.

Thanks for the weather update Mike, I am sending pixie dust to the skies for a change in the forcast!! ((pouting))

Safe travels to all of you I got a rush of anxiety this am when I saw a plane overhead. I know they say its safer but just like someone said earlier...it is frightening not to have control over the plane. At least in my car I can control the wheel.

Almost there....just counting down. See you all REAL soon!

emacman - Welcome to our thread. Sounds like you have a full crew!!! We plan on having an informal DisMeet at the Mickey Pool before the lifeboat Drill and also a more formal one at 3:00 PM on Monday at the Promenade lounge. We are going to have one good time indeed. A lot of people have already left or in the process of leaving but on their behalf, welcome. - Mike

Meesh - Safe journies. See you on the cruise ship. - MIke

 

[msh8675]

Thank you! But I have been taken over by anxiety over flying I can barely speak my own name...

Where in the world is Massachusetts!?!?

Anyhow, I posted a ? about the internet use on the ship. I am stuck in dilemma now, to send a few emails I do not want to pay 90$ that is totally ridiculous....anyone want to split the costs...

Jeeze the folks back home will just have to wait to hear from me!!
My cellphone will almost be cheaper....


Meesh (oh yea thats me!!)

Hi MEESH,

I had my belly button pierced 11 weeks ago (I had been thinking about it for a while, and finally decided to go for it!) and I'm still in the healing process. Your piercer probably told you this already, but if you're swimming in Salt water, make sure you rinse it with fresh water afterwards (salt is very very drying, which is why we only use a little to clean with). If it dries out too much, it can start to hurt, and I wouldn't want anything to ruin your trip!

Hope that helps
Katdb

[KC22]

Ouch on the piercing thing...

Meesh, do you really need to stay in touch with that many people, hey will see them in about 10 days, they can manage, the most important of your contacts will be sailing with you...

I'll use my cell in Key West (call mom) but the rest of the time.. see ya

 

[msh8675]

KC- no realistically folks can wait...I think they'd be a bit more at ease if I'd just let them know once or twice throughout the week that all was well. I guess folks and I can discuss that tonight.

KAT- Well, I had it done this am. I had been contemplating for awhile and now that the summers here and jeans won't always get in the way, I took it upon myself to get it done. It is a little dry now and I was told not to touch it with anything but a q tip and some saline wash (like you use for contacts). Other than that they said salt water will help it to heal faster, but to try and avoid the pool (cuz of bacteria and germs) UGH. I was given a few ideas on if I decided to go to the pool just take a few extra precautions. Its a little dry right now but of course I just need to take care of it!

Anyhow, all is well and the sun is shining BRIGHT although it can't be that far above 50 degrees outside...its rather brisk!

Talk to you all soon. Of course I'll check at least 1 x again b4 departure!

BYE

MEESH

 

[KC22]

Good luck in the pool..

State count is now..20 plus our favorite KAT from Canada...

later..

So you fear flying... but not poking holes in a tender area like your belly button? It just goes to show the reason Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors of ice cream! We all like something different!

See you on board!

Well, yes, funny! The hole poking pain only lasts for a minute...and I am not a freak who actually enjoys this type of thing either! Although I do have a coupla tattoos, I am learning the places to and not to put them in order not to regret getting them when I age! LOL...I am thinking I may not get any more!

The plane ride on the other hand, well, it doesn't compare...I can always change my mind at the last minute and decide NOT to pierce, or take it out afterwards...there is no jumping off the plane!! LOL

AND OMG i love ice cream!!

 

[CAMICKEY]

Well I had it done but would not have said anything till Meesh fessed up - I got my nose pierced today and 8 ear piercings. I got a discount because of multiple piercings at one time. I decided to go with 8 studs in the ear and a ring for the nose (better for DW to lead me around). OK I am just joking. What can I say. I'm alwasy getting into trouble with my Irish Blarney.

Meesh - You go girl. - Mike

Well Happy Birthday to you. A piercing on your Bday?????? Do you have a stud or a ring in it right now??? Yea as I was BS'ing I thought everyone would get this picture of.. (Well you can imagine). Can you tell I like pranks???? Wait till you see what I have planned for the cruise. Think about it on the airplane, maybe it will keep your mind off of flying.
