*******100 DAYS!!!!!!! We set sail in 100 DAYS!!!!

Hope everyone had wonderful mom's day yesterday...DD got sick so we had to cancel our plans. So I shopped a little on line and finally bought a pacsafe bag for the trip. I debated quite a bit which style but decided on the metrosafe200. I figured either DH or myself can use it(not too feminine) and it is not that big too carry all the time. I also bought 2 pacsafe neck pouches for us as well. Luggage online website was having asale and free shipping over $100.

HAPPY 100 DAYS EVERYONE!!!!!

*******100 DAYS!!!!!!! We set sail in 100 DAYS!!!!

Finally! Certainly much easier t swallow than the 660+ days it was when I booked!

Had a nice day yesterday! Went for a hike and had a picnic lunch, then had a yummy dinner made for me with a yummy bottle of wine.

Today, I begin to do some painting!

I just has to post that I WON the photo contest on Cruise Critic!!! For those of you following the Magic in the Med video blogs on cruise critic, you've probably seen the daily picture contest every day. I just got an email where I was told that I was randomly selected as the day 10 winner!!!!!!! I just forwarded them my contact info. I'm SO excited!!! I wonder what will be in my DCL swag bag.......

 

[MinnieDiva]

Lori, that is AWESOME! Can't wait to hear what the prize is!

(snort). You can hope...dreams can come true (I've heard that somewhere....)

 

[mindelmouse]

Congrats Lori....somehow I think you'll have to keep the upgrade a dream until embarkation (perhaps they'll have some for purchase - cheap)....but I hope the prize is something good.

Wow! I can't believe that it was soo many days when we booked.

I read on Mary's blog that you have been listening to podcasts about the ports. What website did you go to?

Is DD getting excited. My DD has a full week of standardized testing this week so she has been thinking about that,but once that is done it feels like school is winding down. When do your schools get out. We go to the end of June here.

That's good, then you should have it for the cruise. Maybe it includes med merchandise that you would have wanted to purchase on board.

My kids are taking the ASK tests too...it's their first time and today is their birthday so I just got to work after bringing treats to school.

ASK here also... just for my 3rd grader. The 6th grader finished them 2 weeks ago.... DS's first day was yesterday.. He's stressed to say the least.... DD's 12th birthday is today, I can't believe I have a 12yo......

 

[Cliffside]

Wow I can't believe your kids have the same birthday. What a small world. I hope they all have a very happy birthday. (even though they had to sit through the ask test today)

I think they'll be fine...they got what they wanted for their birthday and are quite happy. I brought in munchkins for their snack too.
