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

2 years
I could never have kept my mouth shut that long! But it sounds like a great idea!

 

[K8T]

Goodness, I have loads more than anyone!!!!!

6 pairs trouser (pants), 6 capris, three dresses (1 formal), 10 tees/tops, 1 shorts/running T.4 pairs shoes, 1 pair running shoes, two cardigans, enough underwear for every day and a few extras, including some 'heavy duty' foundation wear!!!!

I usually wear smart trousers in the evenings with a top and Capris during the day. I have a mauve dressy dress, which is a million miles from what I would normally wear, so have got my standard black dress just in case, with a little cardi. and one flowery number!

I am really pleased as my pink 5k101 running T arrived today, so I shall stand out on the decks!

My case is about 18 kilos at the moment, we have a 20k allowance. DD's has a bit more room in it, OH hasn't started his, but I wash my hands of that!!!.

If I didn't have the FE stuff in it, it would be a little lighter!!

Bearing in mind I have to allow room for a Simba soft toy, a Stitch soft toy and if they have one a Lotso soft toy!!!! (for my sister).

Have a safe journey Mindy, do try and video the 'reveal' I would love to see their faces.

We leave first thing Tuesday, Vicky, I presume you are getting the Monarch flight, so will see you at the airport.

We are done with packing and everything weighs in OK. We will have a little space to bring some things back. We may take an empty carry on with us too. I have 4 prs shoes, 1 dress, 1 jacket (specific to an outfit and does not go with much), 7 capris, 4 shorts, 15 tops. Yikes And, I am still repeating 3 nights at dinner.

I am one pair short of underwear or I would not need to do wash at all!
Is that TMI ???
As it is, I may just send out any laundry since it is so cheap and we won't need to wash many items. I think I figured out we could wash what we needed for less than $20.

Kinda bummed cause I can see that the guy who makes magnets just made some for a family that requested almost a month after I did....don't know what happened because I sent him 2 requests and a private message but oh well

We are having a pancake supper and trying to go to bed early so we can wake up at 4:15 tomorrow morning
We will roll our suitcases about 10 minutes walk to the train station in our village, have short 5 minute ride on the U bahn, then change trains and have about 15 minute ride on the S bahn and then we are at the airport!!

Bonjour !!! Sorry to hear about your knee and bag
Can they order it and ship it home for you?

Our weather here is very cool today too but quite pleasant.

Enjoy Paris !

It is easy except for lugging those bags....all my friends here take taxis to the airport and think we are crazy!

Safe travels,

Sorry about your knee and the bag. Hopefully they will have in the next day or so. It is ugly here in Germany also. Try to enjoy Paris dispite the weather.

Thanks for asking Shawn. I think he did mostly. Um...he said he got homesick 2 nights and that on one night the camp director's husband had to come calm him down because his counselor couldn't. He was very proud to tell me that the man said that feeling homesick was normal and it was okay. He got to go kayaking, build rockets (which I think he liked the most), do science stuff, he said they had a beach party and all kinds of things. I think he had fun, but he's at the age when he doesn't impart a lot of info unless pushed.

He was real cool when I picked him up but when we got home mommy got a huge hug....

Cherish those hugs! I can't remember the last time I received one from my DS!

 

[SettinSail]

OK, surely this will be my last post for the night...I was looking through Tom's photobucket and found some name tags with our names! So I have printed them out and will just tape them to fridge magnets. "poor man's magnets"

Only slight problem is my son's says "Fort Worth, Texas" and "1st Disney Cruise" but oh well

Now, if anyone has time on their hands and needs a project, I would love to have some Mickey ears...I will reimburse you for your magnetic paper & ink...either Euros, Dollars, or Cocktails. We are in room 2539 or I will see you at the DisMeet.....the sorcerer ears or the viking ears would be cool

Thanks!
Shawn

Safe Travels!
See you at the meet, I can wear a badge that says "newbie"

 

[2BugsMom]

My son decided to give me a scare this evening, climbed the back of a chair and fell off. Poor lil guy has a massive goose egg on the back of his head!

I may bubble wrap both the kids tomm, a few years ago the morning we we're leaving for WDW,my dd broke her arm. Needless to say that trip was postponed a bit.......

: Just need to make it through another day

 

[graysm]

SO is anyone else packing light raincoats...Should I skip them???

I totally believe in better safe than sorry. I packed rain ponchos for us. They're a little heavy, but I'm sure I can use the space in my suitcase for the trip home...

Hi Kate,

We're going tomorrow - fingers crossed anyway - on the Monarch flight, yipee I can't wait to get DD up in the middle of the night. Last week was so rubbish, I'm now really glad they threatened us with the strike and we decided to go early. Though my bank balance will probably disagree, I'm a bit lethal when let loose in Spanish toy shops Having spent the last two hours fiddling with it, I think it's the printer that's had it not the paper that's causing a problem. Have had the paper for ages so it's totally my fault for leaving it to the last minute, Elizabeth adores Minnie with a passion so if you do end up with spare ear magnets I'm sure she would love them. But if you run out of time, she won't be worried that she doesn't have them as we didn't know about magnets last time so I didn't make any.

 

[Vicky29]

Just wanted to say goodbye and see you all soon. We're leaving the house in 7 hours, so off to bed now. I won't have access once we get to Barcelona, but we'll be at the meet on Thursday - in the meantime look out for the spotty stroller Those of you with little ones maybe we'll bump into you in a character line before then, not long to go now. Safe travels everyone
