A fellow leader told this great story where she was on a Scout camping trip and the letter they received upon arrival at the camp said "no alcohol or illegal drugs". Everyone joked that "legal" drugs would be okay.

As a guy, if I ever found myself having to babysit a girl scout camp, there's no way I could make it through the week without my perfectly-legal leftover vicodan

Boy Scouts, on the other hand, I could get through the week with just the Tylenol.

Next week's cruise, hopefully I won't need anything more than CAFFEINE!

Five more minutes...

In five minutes I can safely duck out five minutes early, then I am free until the end of the month!

Good timing, I still haven't packed anything and I need to leave the house by 9 AM to comfortably make my flight

Hello All,
No I did not fall off the face of the earth. Mini trips to the Jersey shore and job hunting has kept me busy. I hope everyone is having fun in Florida. I will be finishing FE's with Kyle this weekend. Bags are out and partially packed. We can not wait to meet all of you. We leave early on the 21st and will be at Sea World that day. Are we still thinking of having dinner at one of the hotels on the the 21? We are staying across from Sea World. Gotta run I hope Kyle has been emailing everyone but he is at his Dad's house in delaware and I really have no control over what happens there. PS forget who is addicted to Wawa coffee, but so am I. As a native Texan who moved to PA when my aunt first said that name I laughed so hard I almost peed myself!!!!!Gosh next Friday cannot come soon enough.

Quick question then about 2138 and 2140- do either one have one of the pull down beds on the wall? My 6yo saw this on a video about DCL and has been obsessing about sleeping in this pull down bed- LOL Dont know how to tell her she might not have one!

2136 sleeps 4 and it had the bed that pulls down from the ceiling. I'm not sure what 2138 and 2140 are like - if they sleep 4 then your 6yo will be very happy.

Erik and I just got home from the Jimmy Buffet concert.
We had a great time.

I am staying up with the puppy since she has been in her crate for 11 hours.
ERik just went to bed 'cause he has to work in the morning.

Don't worry, KC - I am mostly parked and just waiting for a last load of laundry before I finish packing.

Of course the toiletries don't get packed until morning

Christi I am so jealous of you - and still mad at Jimmy. A month after announcing West coast tour dates Jimmy canceled them and eventually added east coast dates as well as Paris.

We took the puppy to a friend's house this evening. DS 7 is still crying over leaving her. I'm sure he'll be having too much fun to think of her by Monday

Whomever is running the FE exchange, I would love to be involved if it is not too late. Being a newbie, I assumed everyone on the Cruise did this and not just the DIS'ers.

Christi, I'm so jealous!!! We tried to get Buffet tickets, but no such luck. We went last year. We were thinking of just going to tailgate (because that is half the fun ), but Jon's boss has been giving him a hard time about going on vacation next week.

Maza arranged the FE exchange. She's got the list of cabin numbers. I would pm her or DH (fluffy bunny). I believe they are already here in the US but I think they said would be checking in on these boards.

Can you tell us your cabin #?

Welcome aboard
As KC says try PM Maria but we had a cut off time end of July as many of us are already in Florida some without internet access.

Thanks I will PM.

Thank you, Denise. One hour, 15 minutes to go so I guess this is my goodbye note.

So I called to reservations line and asked what movies will be showing on the 8/22 sailing. Ruby said that the following movies are currently "in rotation":

Bolt
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Race to Witch Mountain
Hannah Montana Movie
Earth
Up
The Proposal
G-Force

I'm so looking forward to Race (love THE ROCK), the Proposal and G-Force. Thought it was stange she didn't mention Ponyo.

She also indicated that we will be treated to a PrimEAR at Sea: Surrogates. Never heard of it, so I IMDB'd it (descrition below). I should note that IMDB indicates that its release date is 9/25, so I think Ruby might have misunderstood when I said we were sailing. But, in case she was right:

The filmmaking trio behind the hit sci-fi sequel Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines re-team to explore a future in which humans live in isolation while only communicating with their fellow man through robots that serve as social surrogates and are better-looking versions of their human counterparts. Bruce Willis stars as an FBI agent who enlists the aid of his own surrogate to investigate the murder of the genius college student who invented the surrogates. As the case grows more complicated, however, the withdrawn detective discovers that in order to actually catch the killer he will have to venture outside the safety of his own home for the first time in many years, and enlists the aid of another agent (Radha Mitchell) in tracking his target down. Jonathan Mostow directs co-screenwriters Michael Ferris and John Brancato's adaptation of the graphic novel by author Robert Venditti and illustrator Brett Weldele.

Tropical depression #2 is now being referred to as a "remnant low" so I think we have nothing to fear from that particular system. However, the one that just came off the Cape Verde islands is causing some excitement. The Weather Channel is saying that models are indicating that this could be a hurricane that could be impacting the southeast in the next 10 days. Still alot of uncertainty there. Hopefully, it will peter out and won't be an issue for anyone.

 

[Ski-and-Sea]

See you onboard Brian.....safe travels.

Denise....thanks for the movie update. DD & I saw Race to Witch mountain. Movie was pretty good though I prefer the original.

Regarding potential hurricanes......it's so hard to predict this far away. I've been on 8 DCL cruises in the summer and only once got directly impacted by a hurricane. I was on the Wonder last summer that got diverted to Miami. I'd be more upset if we missed one of our ports as I've got private excursions set up at both Grand Cayman and Cozumel.

DCL did an amazing job diverting the Wonder to Miami. They bussed all the passengers back and forth to Port Canaveral. All the food that normally gets loaded in Port Canaveral had to be sent to Miami. Clearly DCL is prepared for events like this.

oops - just did a recheck. We were in 2136 not 2138. 2136 was a great room so I am sure that 2138 will be equally amazing. Can I brag and state that I never took an elevator once on that trip? Too late I already did

Hello neighbor!
I am staying in room 2030, 2032 and 2028. I have 2 and 6 year old boys. My sister has a 6 and 11 year old girls and is in the adjoining room. Is there a meet and greet for everyone?
Thanks!!
Jill
