April 13, 2008 (4/13/2008) Anyone else?

Sorry about the laundry sitch. I was thinking I should bring a backup roll of quaters and a few samples of detergent just in case--now you've confirmed it! Many of DD's items are for mixing and moving around so I think that we may be in trouble if anything gets spilt.
Hoping for blue skies and warm temps for you the rest of the vacation!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay just had to releave a bit of tension

I ONLY HAVE 5 DAYS left to get everything together

It really hit me this morning
I don't know I guess it hasn't seemed "real"
I ahve had to cancel trips in the past so I guess I didn't wanna let myself really belive but now i have to kick it up and get busy

and My sneakers blew out last night so I have to go shopping and I HATE shopping

Nothing worse than having to psych yourself up to do something you hate before you can delve into the "oh crap I have to get this done!" Good luck finding what you need quickly and painlessly!

I have to high tail it into gear around here as well. DS brought me clothes--not nearly enough, but it is a start! The kids are at church doing service hours by working the chicken BBQ--they are gone from 11 to 7 tonight so I am hopeful DH and I can get the packing 100% and then clean the house to boot! I think DS will be packing right to the last second but at least I can keep tweeking it! So far it looks like two big suitcases and 4 carry ons (three that can be checked if necessary) as well as the extra carry ons that each person will have with their media equipt to keep busy on the plane ride. DH is dropping off the kids and running my essential errand of the day--pick up meds from the pharmacy and cash in lottery tickets that have been sitting around since Christmas!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Kaylajr, I am right there with you! I am starting to feel
the pressure!

I am behind a little compared to where I normally am preparing
for trips. I just started getting DDs stuff together last night.
Almost done with that. I have not even thought about mine
or DHs packing. But, the most important thing is, I have
all of the Tinkerbell gifts packed, all ressies confirmed and
all docs together. That's all I really need, right???

I can't breathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are leaving bright and
early Saturday morning. We should be there around 4pm.
We are staying at Radisson at the Port. Anyone else staying
there?

See you soon!

We are staying at this Radisson too and should be there around the
same time, give or take on Saturday.

I have been fighting with the luggage to get everything to fit and I
think that I finally have a system going - with rolling all of the clothes.

I still feel like there is so much to do and so little time. I have to make
sure everthing at work is in order before I go and that is stressing me out!!

That said, we are BEYOND excited to be on the final countdown.

We're at the Radisson as well. I don't believe we'll get there until closer to 6 pm though. See you all there--oh are you signed up for the shuttle from there to port? We're 10:30 (I think--better check)which one did you sign up for?
We have too many suitcases and I'm going to try to roll (thanks for jogging my mind Lolita) then add to the spacebags, I would really like to cut at least one bag, but two would be even better!

 

[patsal]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
My turn!!
I ordered a black sweater--just simple 3/4 length arms, v with six small balck buttons so I could dress it up or down--I always get really cold in restaurants and theaters--my order came and thee sweater was sold out. Anyone know where to get a simple black cardigan in a XL?

We're off tomorrow! First we visit the in-laws, next WDW and finally the cruise! I'm still in the middle of packing. I'm taking way too many breaks to check my email. (packing is not my favorite thing to do)

Please remember to contact your credit card companies and let them know you are going on a cruise to the Bahamas so that there are no issues with any planned (or in my case unplanned) purchases.

See you all real soon!!

We were disappointed. And we didn't get to make the meet either. We were just making it on the ship then. Once we settled in it was time for the emergency drill.

 

[kaylajr]

Well lets see

Rough choppy seas caused all except my DH to have sea sickness
and my DD Jess had it the worst

no Castaway Cay and I think being so close we could see beach chairs was such a tease....I know they couldn't control the weather but each attmept rocked my cabin on deck 2 so much that it was horrible

Sorry you all didn't make the meet there were only 3 families there we
were so hoping to meet you all

my DD12 said the Oceaneers Lab was fun and we didn't see much of her
but the Aloft for teens was a BUST!!! my DD hated it and I heard from other teens on board the same

couldn't even hang out on deck only 68 and high winds man i could have stayed in NY for that weather

There were some fun things too

The pirate party was cool
the sail away party was good

lots of food
saw some movies
met some cool people Lovetoscrap and family and Patsal and family

we are not big drinkers so two full days at sea we were running out of things to do

first cruise most likely will be our last cruise
gonna stick with the parks from now on i think
