August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[MoranClan]

We will be driving down, it's not a bad trip for ME because Bobby does all of the driving. But I do have to admit I prepack a few things in the van, ie.. CDs , toys crayons, wipes etc before he packs up the van! Whats up with the Downy? I usually iron before I place clothes into the suitcases. Can I just fold and pack?

Today is Jessie's 9th birthday, gotta go get the balloons and start decorating before her guests arrive! Hope the rain wats until after the kids are finished in the pool

Can't wait to cruise,

Cindy

Cindy - I'm in South Jersey and it's been raining all morning so far. Hope you get the party in.


Wrinkle releaser is great stuff. Spray, then smooth the fabric out and let it dry for a bit. I hate to iron.

So many great bdays inJULY.. Mine is next weekend, but we don't mention that. the BIG 40.
Wow, I am not on here for a few days and there is a novel of messages to read.
Ginny, Please include me in the Drink specials. I am having a hard time with turning 40 for some reason,,, maybe I just need a VACATION.
We are driving in that morning from Disney and going to AVIS with a rental car. We will be there the week before the cruise.
As far as luggage goes... My daughter plans on a suitcase for just HER SHOES she is so funny,,,lol Other wise.. I think a big suitcase for each of us, a carry-on for each and another suitcase with drinks...
Joanna.. the board is a great idea.. It said I was not authorized to use it though... I will look again later.

I better read this board more often. I feel like an outsider in my OWN FAMILY OF DISers..lol

I just got home from work and picked up another box of 50 GREEN leis, doing the count on Jason's site that should be plenty.

Cindy...I have to disagree with you there, its a bad trip unless I'm driving. When we drive to Florida, we fight to drive, it makes the trip go faster when you are the driver. Hope you got in the Birthday party. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Samantha can't wait to see you on Friday

My DD's both thought it wold be fun to meet other kids like we are doing in a group setting before the cruise. I already told them (as I'm sure you have) that it is the internet and no last names, towns, school names etc.

 

[winnyis]

Reenieny - of course you are included in the 40 year old birthday celebrations... after all misery loves company - LOL.....

When I was younger I always dreaded 40... but honestly Im ok with it... (the fact that Im getting diamond earings could be helping), Im at a good place in my life, great husband, two great kids, good job, beautiful house.. im grateful that Im alive to see 40... especially since my brother will never see it..

Hi Doreen! I have to say I thought I was going to have a hard time turning 40, but it seems to be okay! I haven't met a number yet I haven't liked! Maybe the cruise is helping to ease the transition to 40! Anyway, I know you, Ginny, myself & my girlfriend are all celebrating our 40th, but have I missed anyone else? Or any other big birthdays being celebrated among the group? I wouldn't want to leave anyone out of the party. I am sooo looking foward to meeting everyone. It will be nice to put a face with the screenname. Kathy

 

[Mjasp]

DH will be celebrating his 50th, but not until 12/7/54

Is it really called the 10 A.M.? OR the DIS shuttle? LOL

I feel left out. But Doreen and I along with Darwin91 will be at Avis, Doreen I'll have my green lei on, so you will be able to recognize me.

Joanna

Happy Birthday Jessie!!!

 

[Mary Anne]

You're all kids :lol I myself am past 50 and proud of it. I'm not older, I'm closer to my 401k then the rest of you :lol

You know what I realized today; when I called yesterday to fix my shuttle time, I didn't have to look up the phone #; I have it on the speed dial of my cell phone

 

[Reenieny18]

Ginny,, I know what you mean about being in a good place. But, as far as the earrings go,, I lost one of my diamonds my husband bought me for our wedding. Its not even 2 yrs old. I am so upset, My daughter noticed it onthe way to Cheer camp this morning. I didn't have the heart to tell hubbie,, but I did.... he told me he would get it replaced,, and call the insurance co.... I told him not to forget about the Tanzinite from MEXICO,,lol

Joanna, what time are you getting to AVIS??? I will look for the GREEN....
Kathy name the place for the celebrating,,lol Maybe we can include the rest of the family,, just because,,,,We dont want them to feel left out.. Bobby and Cindy may take their cooler somewhere else..
lol

Reenieny - I am a tanzanite and opal junkie myself... my DH got me the most gorgeous tanzantie and opal and diamond ring in cozumel in November.. told me it was my gift for every occasion up until my birthday... I just love that stuff... but I will go easy on him this trip since I know my earings will be big bucks... but then again if he offers.. who am I to hurt his feelings by turning him down.. LOL

I better start kissing up now!!!

Ginny

 

[nuts4sn00py]

Oh Reenie, I'm sorry about the diamond earring. I understand how you feel, a couple of months ago I also lost a diamond earring & I don't think I'll be replacing anytime soon. I would be more upset if my DH bought it for me, but I bought them myself. I really hate losing a gift, after all there is so much sentiment attached to it. Hopefully, you lost it at home & it will turn up! I'll keep my fingers crossed. Joanna I think we should just celebrate all our birthdays for the year, after all it gives us an excuse to every nite! Not that I need an excuse. LOL! Ginny Now I know why I feel so at home, we all seem to like the same things. Must be the year we were born I just gave my girlfriend her 40th Birthday gift this past Saturday. It was a tanzanite & diamond ring! I was going to save it until the Cruise, but she has been having a tough time & I knew she could use some ing up! She had admired mine, so I knew it would be the perfect gift. I'm going to have to fill her in on this little group so she doesn't feel out of the loop when we cruise! Anyway, I hope you all have a great day tomorrow, and look fowarding to your posts! Kathy

Reenieny- Don't give up hope of finding your earring. I once lost my engagement ring for over two months. Bobby found it in his golf bag when we were in Fla!

Thanks for the Downy tip, I'm going to have to give it a try.

Cindy

 

[winnyis]

Just kidding of course about the boarding... but unfortunately not about the toe.. I hit my toe on the corner of the baseboard molding on saturday and wasnt going to do anything about it til DH said "you probably want to get that looked at since your foot is swolen and turning blue" so I took his advice just to make sure I didnt break any bones in my foot. Good news is no bones in foot... bad news broke the toe next to the little one right through... of course all they do is tape it to the next toe and gave me a bright blue bootie shoe to help me walk easier.... its such a fashion statement.

Anyway Im hoping it will be healed enough in 5 weeks for our vacation and a week of walking through the parks before the cruise.

I hope everyone is having a good day!!

Ginny

 

[admepo]

Hi Everyone....

Ginny - So sorry about the toe!!!

Jason...thanks for the daily countdowns...am so missing my countdown on posts!

Sounds like there will be lots of Bday Cake on board!!! Mine will be an anniversary cake which looking at the Three Circles site, there will be a few of those too!

Just wanted to say a quick BYE to my DIS friends before I go. We leave tomorrow for WDW and will return Monday. I hope to be able to make it through the weekend without the boards , but I will have Mickey LOL....

Have to finish PACKING for me and the kids. DS age 6 can't wait for tomorrow and is driving me nuts ! So I must go.

Everyone enjoy! Will talk to you all when we return!

Melanie

 

[Reenieny18]

Melanie, have a great time. i am JEALOUS
Cindy,, in his golf BAG, WOWOW you were lucky!

I am going to cancel my 2:30 for 4 people because DW and DD's dont want to go now..

If I can get an idea when everyone else is going I may try to book 1 slot for myself..

Ginny..Sorry about your Toe..Seems alot of us have had injuries before the Cruise..Better now than on the Ship..

I see alot of you post about not being able to see your countdowns...Mine works and so does everyone else..check you settings, make sure you have it checked..
