C'mon Deb... Fantasy MV... spring 2012... Western itinerary. You know you want to!!!

Hello! On my way home from NJ, great weekend with the family! And it has hit me that the next time I see my parents and Asia will be April 13th, the night before we leave! FE's not as much done as we planned but I left it all in NJ and my mom is finishing!
So the big news from the weekend is...
Connor qualified for AAU Nationals in both Point Sparring and Forms! He finished in 3rd place in both disciplines! Point Sparring there were only 5 boys in his division but in forms there were 18 competitors! And at first he was tied for 3rd with another boy and at the end they both had to compete their form again and get rescored - Connor won by .2! Some tournaments don't allow ties - very stressful for the parents! Not Connor - he told us later he knew he was tied and that he had to step up his game for the tie-breaker! Now to figure out how to get him to Nationals in Austin Texas ...DH & I are in Turks & Caicos the same week! Hoping my in-laws will take him...

Awesome job Connor

I was working on putting the FE stuff together last night. I was originally going to just throw everything in a suitcase and put them together when we got to Orlando on Thursday night. Well, it's a good thing I decided to put them together because they took forever to make up.

Can you believe ther's actually SNOW in the forecast today and later this week!! Ugh, I thought we were done with that stuff .

Oh, you know I definitely want to!!!! Unfortunately, the deposit is not refundable, and DH could not be convinced to go on that cruise, otherwise it would have already been booked and I would have spent the next twelve months "convincing" him!

Hooray Connor!!!!!

I have to definitely agree - the assembling can take a really long time! We had to do this for our Baltic cruise because packing was tight for the 12-night cruise plus 3 days in London... and ya'll know by now that Deb T. only takes carry-ons.

Seriously!!! I really do not want to see another snow flake. Really, really over it!

Since when? Has DCL changed their booking policy? Is it only the Fantasy or all the ships.

I usually just book me and then work it all out later when I got home.

Geesh! It's not like DCL has trouble selling out it's ships!

Just the Maiden Voyages have non-refundable deposits. golfnsuch is already booked on the Fantasy's MV and knows I really, really, really want to be on that ship with her!

Gosh, and wouldn't you know that it's the first full day of spring! You'd think you long-suffering Nor'easterners would catch a break by now!

Just a reminder to all the FE Participants that new cruisers have until 4-1-11 to join our exchange.

And a "head's up" that a family of 8 (2A/6C) has contacted me to join the Big Group, but I haven't posted them yet because I'm waiting to receive their details by pm.

I got my FE gifts done this weekend also. I have a few extras in case we have last minute additions to the list. Hope there won't be to many or it will be back to the store for me.

We got snow here in NJ also. All I kept saying was "But it's the first full day of spring!!!!!!"

Got most of the clothes sorted and into the packing cubes for the different parts of the trip; cruise/parks.

Getting excited and looking forward to meeting everyone.

I am so ready for this trip!!

My travel agent sent my documents - they should be here tommorrow.

I have been busy buying and returning shoes - not sure how Zappos stays in business lol

I believe it is sandy who is doing the mickey head images correct? Is everyone using these as buttons or door magnets? If they are magnets are they full sheet size. I want to do magnets but haven't quite got the time to figure out what I wanted to do. Can they be my door magnets - Sandy do you mind if I use them for that? also I want a button so you know I am part of the board. How is everyone doing them?

Feeling like I am almost ready to pack. I told my husband and kids that I intend to pack in 3 large rolling duffels bags for the 10 days and they laughed at me - They know me all to well - I am an amazing overpacker.

I have absolutely NO problem with anyone using the designs for anything you want!

If you want me to make the names for you, just shoot me a PM and I'll send them over to you.

In fact, I'm working on the ones people have asked me about now.... So anyone who is waiting for one, please check your PM's in about 20....

CASTLEGAZER AND LITTLE DEB -

Everyone who I've made these for have asked for their real names. Let me know what yours are and I will send them over....
