Ok Terri- I had to leave a dinner party a few hours ago because I started to get dizzy and felt rumbly in the tummy. Needless to say, I did the cruise panic until I came upstairs to my bathroom and saw the allegra bottle. Then I remembered why I stopped taking the allegra. Now I still don't feel that great, but at least I know tomorrow morning I will feel better.

My eyes get blurry from allergies, so I took a few yesterday and today so that I would be able to help Bobby drive.

See you, and everyone get there safely

Cindy

PS Now I'm sick AND I still can't see!!!!!!!!!!

Cindy:

I'm sorry you're not feeling good either! I hope the Allegra gets out of your system so you can feel better.

Have a good drive down

Well, Andy & I made it to Orlando about 2:00. We've gone shopping at the Character Outlet (Disney outlet store), Big Dog, and Wal-Mart. Believe it or not, I actually forgot my hair dryer...and I really don't like the dryers on the ship. So, one new hair dryer.

Then we headed over to the Doubletree Club and checked in. Dinner at the Big River Grill at the Boardwalk. YUM!

Andy's about asleep and I'm checking emails... a little TV and I'll be asleep too.

Be safe AND healthy everybody!!!!!

Hi Everyone!....I need those of you who are still here to pass on my news to those who have gone before us....my Best Friends FIL passed away today., now she is not sure she will be able to cruise with us...I ask you to pass along the news to the others because he was the one who would be wearing the Speedo. He will definitely not be able to go on this cruise, & she will let me know tomorrow if her & her son will still be going. Needless to say, this makes me very sad as this was a joint 40th celebration for us. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will still go, but of course understand if they can't. As you can tell the Cruise curse is really doing a number on us!Terry & Cindy: I hope the two of you are feeling better soon...here's a little PD to help you along Jill: I haven't had a Kamakaze since Junior year of HS...needless to say it knocked me for a loop but I just may be by your room for one, after the week we've had, you people may never see sober!(Just kidding).Melanie: I'm glad things are looking up for you, I know how much you are looking foward to this trip, you too have had a rough couple of weeks. I'm sure your sister & the kids will be just fine.Joanna: Thanks so much for starting this thread way back when & I'm looking foward to meeting you & all the fellow 8/28 cruisers from this board!Ginny, Doreen, & the other Ginny: Don't forget about those birthday drinks, it's the one thing that is helping me keep my sanity right about now! Still not packed, still not manicured, still not organized! Mudslides take me away! For all those leaving soon....have a safe trip! See you in 2 days! Kathy

Kathy:

I'm so sorry to hear about your best friend's FIL Please pass on our condolences to her and her husband. I hope your friend and her son will still be able to go, but it's really not an easy decision to make.

I got a lot of packing done tonight, so I'm feeling a little better about that. Just took my second dose of antibiotic. Hey, does anyone know if you can drink while taking antibiotics??

 

[nuts4sn00py]

Thank you Terry, I will pass along your condolences. I don't think they recommend drinking when on antibiotics, but I could be wrong. I know they don't for pain killers, but antibiotics, I'm not sure about. Kathy

 

[Mjasp]

Kathy...I am so sorry about your friend FIL, Please also send them our condolences.

Terry...Call the pharmacist and ask him/her about the alcohol.

By the way...1 more day

Everyone does know there is a tropical storm named Frances brewing and they expect it to be near islands by the weekend. I hope the waters aren't too rough to get out of Florida.

Good morning everyone.

Still can't sleep, I think it's,three days in a row now. At least I can sleep in the car while Bobby drives. I'm feeling much better...thanks for the pixie dust. Will be leaving in a few hours. See you all down there.

Cindy

Kathy - I'm sorry I missed the earlier post about your son. I hope his strep throat clears up really quickly! I'm also sorry about your friends FIL. How awful. Doesn't it seem like it's hard to get a break? I know we have all been looking forward to this vacation for a long time and alot of us are stressed out and sick. I'll keep your friends in my thoughts & prayers.

Along the stressed out thought - yesterday we found out the buyer of my Mom & Aunt's house has backed out. The closing date was to be 8/23 and on 8/25 they pulled the rug out from under them. This has been going on for three months now and of course the cancellation of their sale will affect their new purchase which now may need to be canceled, and so on and so on. Anyway, we all spent the day yesterday crying and I'm afraid the stress of it all might give my Mom another heart attack (2 already) or stroke (2 already). To make matters worse, it appears the real estate agent and lawyer might be trying to steal my Mom & Aunt's house (which represents their life savings).
Late yesterday a "white knight" has come forward to buy their home for "cash" for $45,000 less than the sale that fell through. Even though this isn't nearly as terrible as what Kathy's friends are going through will you please keep my Mom and Aunt in your thoughts and I hope there is a special place in hell for people that would take advantage of two 76 and 74-year-old widows. Thanks!

Bon Voyage to all leaving today (that's me too)!

See you on the ship or at the Radisson where believe me, I'll be needing an adult beverage!


Cindy & Bobby - if you're still around, are you driving straight through to Florida?


-Mary Rose

I normally drive straight through...takes us about 17 hours..

Everyone get down safe...

Kathy Sorry to Hear about your Friends FIL..

Hope the family is doing well...

Bobby

 

[O'BWV]

Bobby - We are leaving tonight around 7pm after DH gets home from work. We're only travelling as far as Richmond VA because we figure we'll get stuck in DC - ugh! That leaves about 13 hrs. to drive on Friday. We have never driven straight through in about 9 annual tripswe've driven, but we're thinking of trying to drive straight through on the way back home this time. Seventeen hrs. really isn't too bad. Safe travels to you and your clan. See you at the Radisson!

Good Morning everyone!

Have a great trip everyone leaving today!

Latest Disers that were hit with our Cruise Curse.... No more Getting sick!!!! Feel better soon!

Kathy...so sorry to hear about your best friend's FIL! I hope that everything works out for them between the cruise and everything they must be dealing with right now!

Mary Rose....hope your Mom and Aunt have Good Luck with this buyer!

All those driving straight through to FL..... when we lived in NJ a few years ago and visited often all family in FL we always drove straight through. It is easier with the kids to be driving while they are sleeping for us. Adam and I LOAD up on coffee and he would drive from about 5pm until about midnight while I try to nap around helping the kids and then I drive the overnight until about 5am and then he drives the rest of the way. We still do this driving to CT to visit Dad now! The only down side for those of you looking to try it is you need at least 1 1/2 days to recover and get your system back to normal after the trip is done! Good luck and BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!

Is anyone else still out there?

I'm sooo jealous that a bunch of you guys have already shrugged off the responsibilities of the real world and taken off for Florida. I still have to get through the workday tomorrow. ICK!

I finally started packing last night. I got the garment bags done. I was surprised that Devin ended up with a garment bag all for himself. (He's gonna look great on the dress-up nights. We got him a black double-breasted suit to wear.) I still have to get the rest of our stuff in the suitcase tonight. Of course, that will be after we go to the open house at the Junior High. (Just what I needed on my last night to get everything together!)

I know that I'm going to be TOTALLY useless in the office tommorow. I hope that the boss doesn't notice.

I can't wait to meet everyone on Saturday... if I can stay awake that long. (Maybe I should pick up some No-Doze to help counteract the affects of the red-eye flight.)

Geeze, the only time a week has seemed longer to me than this last one was when I was 9 months pregnant! LOL

Dori : )

 

[Mjasp]

NO ZERO ZILCH DAYS OF WORK

going to Target, I will be calling Bobby later and I will report in to where he is at.

1 more day until we are in FLORIDA
