August 18, 2010...Can't wait for the MAGICal Mediterranean!!!

[Cliffside]

The misters are gone....shoot....I was gonna pick them up too.

I was at Bed Beth, Target and Harmons. The only thing I saw was just a spray bottle without a fan at Harmons. I will probabaly just buy that ...if it is so hot I won't mind getting wet instead of "misted". There are things on line still available but they get expensive and I don't know if they will get here on time.

Because we are leaving so SOON!!!!!

Saw the spray bottles at Harmon...was going to get the keychain misters from Target...guess they're out. Anyone have any other ideas?

YOU better be, or that means bad things for me landing in Paris on the 15th!!!!!!!

I hope you are all different than me and can SLEEP on the plane!!!
I think that's the whole key... I plan to take something this time and I'm going to try as hard as I can to sleep

It is not easy

I'll look around here, they should be on summer clearance by now.
Do you have Walgreens or something like that?

I was thinking the same thing. I have some samples of ambien lying around I might also just take some benedryl......

So I was on board with all that...I was going to take advil PM....then I started second guessing it. That stuff makes me tired for like 10 hours and by the time I take it, I'll be drowsy when we're landing and going through customs. Also, the fearful flyer in me was concocting emergency scenarios in my head...what happens if something happens on the plane and I have to be alert and I took the pill.....I'm a nut ....I know it

On our last trip (which had 13 hr flights) I found that the secret to a good sleep was a good pair of noise cancelling headphones. Granted I had always been able to nap on a plane but with those on I slept for about 5 hours straight and actually wasn't tired when I got off the plane. Well worth the investment and no unplanned side effects!!!!

No you're not...this is exactly why I have never taken anything before...but
I'm gonna take a chance and try it this time. I know I'll probably still feel groggy the next day but maybe I can atleast stay up until night time over there on the day we arrive and start to get in sync with European time.

Every time I take this flight it seems almost everyone is asleep except me.
There must be some trick I don't know !

I know you all probably have your own website and done all your research, but I did this cruise in May and created the website for our board. It is in my signature if you are interested, and I am currently working on my trip report. If anyone wants any info from the navigators or has any questions, feel free to PM me. Have a wonderful time, everyone! It was the best vacation of my life.

I thought I was the only person who planned outfits! For the last few weeks everytime I put something on that looked ok together I have been writing it down! Got something for each day. My friend cane up with a good idea - wearing the same top on the following day that you wore for a few hous the evening before, as long as it isn't a sparkly number, that would look odd!

magnetic paper arrived today and going to get last of FE goodies now. Just need to decide what we are doing at each port- tried to get OH to think about it and he was chilled, just said we will get a cab and decide when we get there! Men!

 

[smores]

these are very nice, small, portable misters....

magnetic paper arrived today

Hey, I have the same idea about the tops! Hoping for no food spills at dinner

Magnetic paper is expensive!! I saw 5 sheets for $13.99 at Office Depot...does anyone know a cheaper price?

it is expensive. I think I got 4 sheets at staples for like 11.99. The trick is to print out your magnets a bit smaller and fit more than one to the page. That would require photoshopping them into one page. Since I didn't have the software, Mary helped me out.

Well, I do have a 15% off coupon for Staples so that would bring it down to
$10.20, a bit better. I only have about 4 that I want to print so hopefully I do not have to call on Mary! She already helped me quite a bit with my journal page, she is a wiz

I am trying the wrinkle spray today...of course I already had the garment on and decided it was a bit wrinkled when I sprayed it on... so now I am wearing pants with a big damp spot! Hope they will dry out before I have lunch with my old boss!

Shawn,

You are too funny! You're supposed to spray it on the clothes (not while you're wearing them) and smooth it out with your hands or hang them up.
