Bringing The Magic Home - 8/20/05

[pampat]

I'm with Donna for the second date for games. However, does anyone know what Disney have planned for us on those days. I am sure we can be flexible, with all those long, balmy hours in front of us.

Pam

A date can be set now and rescheduled onboard. Check the onboard updates (I think Pam, your room has one of them ). I agree with the second date.

Second date it is then

Game Day is August 26th.
Time to be announced

Tracy suggested maybe Diversions. Once I get on board I'll check and get things organized.

I'm in the process of tallying (spelling?) the number of people.

Deb

Glad to hear she is doing better Renee. It's always scary when you don't know exactly what it is but sounds like she is on the mend. Nothing like kid trouble this close to the cruise. Two of my DSs caught bacterial bronchitis from me (and have now graciously shared with DH) and both are on double dose of adult strength Zythromax. I'm just hoping that last DS gets it soon so we can get him on his antibiotic regime before we leave!


Michelle

Michelle - I've been so worried about the boys getting sick before the cruise. They were in all kinds of summer day camps in July (even horse riding camps!) but we've been hiding in the house for the last week trying to avoid germs! I told my husband to wear a mask to work
Didn't work anyway - I've got an ear infection - that's how it goes

Tracy - it was wishful thinking that there was one more newsletter! Oh well - I'll look forward to the link updates on the 14th!

Deb - We are all quite useless at games Maybe we'll come and cheer you on!

Same problem here - but with a sinus infection -saw the Dr yesterday - on Leviquinn(sic) and he gave me a tetnus shot (last one was 8 yrs ago).

Diane,

Since so many in your family have gotten the bronchitis - I would call the pediatrician and ask him for a prescription for it -- so you can give in case he doesn't get it before you leave and does on the cruise.

Our first trip to WDW - 1986, with my sister & her two kids - my nephew had strep throat, they did the throat culture on my neice when she just started to get sick -and wouldn't have the results for til the day we were leaving! My sister insisted on getting the prescription - promised the Dr she would call for results & only give as needed. Since she did come down with strep too.. it was a good thing we had the medicine with us.

MJ - I like your updated picture, it must be from your recent cruise? Can you believe in just 11 days we will be on this MAGICal voyage?

Michelle

I can't believe it is almost here!!! And yes, the pic is from our Carnival cruise last month....the kids had a ball!!! I do miss my son though....

MJ

 

[winotracy]

Andrew, here's hoping your travels are safe. See you soon!

Yes Andrew, old chap, ( a little British humor, yeah I know a very little), you all have a safe and sane...did I just say that?, trip.

Found the rolling pin in Wegmans' our local upscale grocery store. So now Phil can

WooooHoooooo Docs are here

Now I feel official. TA also included a paperback about the panama canal. I am sooooo ready for this trip. Now to finish the wash so I can start packing items. I can't believe the time has finally arrived and we will be leaving in a week for Ca. It seemed like it would never get here. Of course if we book the 11 day cruise it will be the same long wait till cruise time.

Game Day


Okay, I've compiled names and stateroom numbers along with games that everyone would like to play. Here's the list by Screen Name and Name:

Prisoner - Allen
James D - James and Linda
Grumbo - Grahame
PamPat - Pam
Lotsofboys - Michelle and Joan + boys
Norkin - Donna
? - Dee
Wide Awake - Ted
Perdita's Aunt - Marianne and Mom
Erbie - Erin
Ladypoo - Patty
Lauren K - Lauren
Denise W - Denise
Ivanova - Susan
Sunshine - ?
Robin Marie - Robin Marie?
Dletz - Donna
Aunty Brat - Laura
Buckaroo's Dad - ?
Brnwdsny - Melinda
Mary S - Mary and Al
Crownline 93 - Paul
Denver Val - Val ?
Lara's Mom - Arlene
Luv2Dream - Lynn and Pete
Dairyou - Deb and Keith

We have this set up for August 26th (sea day) at 12:30 after lunch. Meeting place - Diversions
Games I have so far are:
Looney Labs
Pinochle
Scrabble
Rummikube
Pinochle
Trival Pursuit
Phase 10
Backgammon
Fill or Bust (fun game, we have this)
Hand and Foot
Texas Hold em
5 Crowns

Now, we are bringing cards, Phase 10, we can bring Fill or Bust. The only problem I see is our list of players pretty big, so if we only have one game of each, alot of people will be waiting. My question is how do you all want to work this. I know we are getting a late start of this...sorry.

Also, I have all your room numbers...Since we have a date, time and hopefully a place..I won't be calling you unless something has gone wrong. Potential problem is a meeting place. If you don't hear from me it is a go

Lastly, If DenverVal and Lara's Mom can send me an email with your stateroom number I can contact you if something goes wrong. Did I miss anything? If I missed you, please email me. If you're interested send me and email with your game of choice, name and cabin number

Andrew, safe, comfortable and happy travels. We'll all be together soon.

Welcome to the adventure all our new friends. Is 13 year old Taylor boy or girl? Our DS is Taylor, but has female friends also named Taylor. DD (13) will be one the cruise with me.

Games: The room tour thing will be over on the 21st but the 26th is looking good right now you can add eye R.N. to Dee on the list.

The alternation folks promised me Hope's formal will be ready by Tuesday, it better be, we leave Wednesday!
