Aug 17 Western Magic Roll Call

[Buckaroo's Dad]

My DS9 and your DS10 are compatible as concerns clothing. Do you think one day = a t-shirt for Oceaneers Lab and a s/s shirt for evenings/nights? or is it more on the order of 2 shirts/day and forget the t's?

I just bought a new sports coat to wear in the evening. It isn't fancy but then again yours truly could make a Versace original look basic. lol. If nothing else, the jacket affords me more pockets to carry my DS9's "essentials" - compact cd player, cd's, not-as-compact gameboy advance, + the attachable light and, of course, magnifier, several games, extra batteries and just enough space for my wallet!

Thanks to a most generous gift from some absolutely AWESOME, WONDERFUL friends, our family will be on the August 17 Western cruise! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dreams really do come true!

My husband and I will be travelling with our oldest two daughters, 9 and 7. Our girls are REALLY excited about helping some of the Cozumel kids that have never had a chance to go to school before. They are picking out the "coolest" backpacks they can find and filling them with necessary school supplies and some surprise fun items as well. What a really NEAT thing that so many other families and their children are joining together to help these island kids on other sailings as well - ALL year round. The girls are so psyched they spent 2 1/2 hours picking out the "perfect" school supplies and are absolutely beaming with pride and confidence. This, by far, has been the best Board our family has ever been a part of. What a great group of people!

Anyone going scuba diving on this sailing? I am hoping to meet up with others who are planning on scuba diving.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi everybody! I can't believe our cruise is almost here! My family is very excited about our first cruise. I've been lurking on these boards for months and I think I'm as prepared as I can possibly be. Although when we are on the Magic we will probably go with the flow! We leave for WDW on the 8th for 9 nights before the cruise. Which means I have 6 more days to complete my packing. I know we will have way too much luggage!!! I need to weed through and get rid of the "non-essentials". We have a backpack full of school supplies for the Cozumel kids ready to go.(Just need to find space in suitcase or maybe will have to use as carry-on.) I hope to meet some DISers on the cruise. I need to go buy some lime green ribbon! See you soon! SusanMouse

My husband and I, along with our 2 yr old DD, will be sailing on the Magic. This is a special trip because my husband will be starting law school and we know that it will be several years before we can plan a nice vacation like this again. I am a little nervous about traveling with our DD but she is a remarkable child who adapts easily. I have been reading these boards since January when we booked and I can't believe it is now less than two weeks away. These boards have been a wonderful resource and I feel prepared to spend a week at sea. If anybody has suggestions about traveling with a young child, please pass them along.


Thanks!

I am sooooooo excited that the cruise is 1 WEEK away!!!!!!! All of my family members that are cruising with us can't wait.

We have all given up on trying to lighten our load. Instead, we got these big bright red roller-cases. We also got these bright lime green snap tie things that we will have attached on to our bags.

SEE YA!!!!!!!!
