April 26 - May 3, 2008 Caribbean Crazy Cruisers Part 2!

[stevenmtl]

Beth, I think we may be on the same flight from Montreal! Are you flying Air Canada?

Work is not getting much out of me this week...way too excited

YUP!!! Air Canada! So where are you staying for the night in Florida??

WORK?? WHAT WORK???
I didn't go in to the office today! Too many things to do, too little time!!!

wow already on page 2. come on guys... we can make it to page 10 by Friday!!

 

[BirdLover]

I just keep picturing seeing the cruise ship through my little boy's eyes as the bus pulls up to the port and I know it's gonna make me cry when I see him all excited. I'm so excited for him!

 

[Myers Family5]

It is very hard to concentrate at work....all I want to do is hurry up and get through the next few days. We leave for the airport on Friday morning!!!

We don't leave for the airport until 6:45 a.m. Saturday, but I can TOTALLY relate to being so distracted at work, not a good thing as a school bus driver, with 60 some lives onboard. The beautiful weather we have been having here in Eastern PA, does NOT do anything to keep the kids still on the bus either, I told all parents that I am banning sugar until 5 p.m. Friday.

The kids all 63 of them have serious cases of spring fever, we are only 37 days of school away from the end of the year, and I am counting each and every one of them very carefully.

Don't get me wrong I love my job, from Mid-June until the day after Labor Day, it is the best job in the world, where else can you collect a paycheck while floating in your swimming pool at home?

I am just counting the seconds. . . tick. . . . tock. . . tick . . tock until 5 p.m. Friday. . . then look out, here we come. . . .

Just doing my part in trying to get us to at least the 3rd page. . . .

so I am actually glad we won't be spending the night in Port Canaveral. We are driving in from Orlando Saturday morning and I get to see the highly talked about first glimpse of the Magic from the bridge!! I want to cry just thinking about it!! omg, I am going to be a wreck that first day!! Maybe I shoudln't attend any meets, ya'll going to think I am crazy!

We are spending Friday night at The Country Inn & Suites in Port Canaveral. Hard to believe only 3 more days of work .

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone! Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday was a LONNNNNNG day! Didn't get home until almost 8.

We're spending the night before the cruise at the Hampton Inn. We did this in 2006 and loved it. We got to see the ship from the balcony outside our room and got to walk on the beach that morning. Great way to start the cruise. We're also planning on going to Grills Friday night for dinner. Don't think any of the ships leave on Friday but it will still be fun to see the channel.

Yes his first cruise, he'll be 9 in the summer

Our son will be 9 in November and our daughter will be 11, May 17th!
We were on the 7 night Disney Western last May with my in-laws, as well as sister and brother in-law and also nephew.
We were on the cruise (all 9 of us) to celebrate my in-laws 40th Wedding Anniversary!! It was truly MAGICAL!!!
We decided that since both Steven (DH) and myself were turning 40 this year, we would take the kids on another Disney cruise to celebrate once agan!
Can't wait to see that SHIP!! It's really beautiful!
Get ready for the time of your life!

Hello Myers Family,

I can only imagine how difficult it is to drive a bus with a bunch of screaming children, when your mind is elsewhere!!! I am having a hard time focusing at work, which isn't a good thing considering everything going on around here.

Good luck with the bus route and know that it will all be over soon! Then we'll be "sailing...takes me away to where I'm going...do do do"! [That's a song, in case you're wondering where that's coming from ]

See y'all in 4 days!!!!

Dawn
