August 16, 2011 – 7 Night Alaska Sailing

[mellers]

WOOHOO!!

I found out at the weekend that DH has booked us B2B on this cruise along with the week after! I KNEW he was up to something, now all I have to do is decide if I want in on the FE for the second week.

DH's excuse was that because there is so much to see, and do in Alaska with the excursions that he just had to book another week for us. Being that it is a huge trip for us to come over from the UK to Canada to start with he thought while we are there we may as well make the most of it - so we are!!! I Love my DH

Awesome

Well, I've posted the "Fish Extender Closes in 11 Days" notice to the main board, and, with the help of crafty DH, we put together all of the "10 and under" gifts for the kids, and with the help of crafty DD, part of the gift for the adults and teens. Won't be long now!

DSMIL is doing well--we visited her in the rehabilitation center on Sunday. She's up and moving around--she's a tough old gal. We brought her some Chinese food (she's originally from Hong Kong) which she liked.

Our dear friend, not so much--I went to visit her today, and she is back in surgery . However, I'll go back on Friday and see how she's doing.

My FE gifts are coming together as well almost all the kids are done.

Pops711 -- I'm looking forward to meeting those to cuties of yours, the FE gifts for them were my favorites to get together.

yay to meeting cute twins - do you know theirs is the only FE gift I have sorted ;o) still have the rest of the gorup to sort now. the ladies are easy, but the teens/tweens and men are not so easy!!

having never done an FE before I am just not sure what to do for the best - i am sure I will work it out!

I'm excited to meet the twins as well!

In all the craziness, I realized I forgot to post my good, baby-related news--I am now a grand-aunt! My niece had the second cutest baby ever. (the cutest, of course, being DD )

And, without doubt, Pops711 has the cutest twins.

My FE gifts are just about finished. And I made all of my stateroom door magnets over the weekend. My plan was to ship a box with FE stuff, magnets, and some other odds & ends to our hotel. Geez, it's so expensive! I think it's probably cheaper to buy a really nice suitcase and pay the checked baggage fees.

Only 69 days to go! We are looking forward to meeting everyone!

There's a groupon today for rafting on the Hyak river in Burnaby (near Vancouver):

Are you shipping it in regular mail? Canada Post is most likely going on strike on Thursday. Sorry.

I sympathize. Yoga's the big activity for mellerskidlet chez mellers, but it's the same kind of thing.

how come when you sign on to the Disney Cruise web site it says we have 67 days but all the count downs on the Disboards say 68. I like Disney's better

67 DAYS!!!!!
