[castoff]

Andrew: So sorry about the delay................



Doreen: Glad your shipping the bubbles down. I would hate to think of the mess if any were to break open.



Andy: I hope the 3 days of work goes by fast for you.




I am going school shopping with Brooke today for some clothes. At least a small dent will be made.

 

[castoff]

**Alert**

Who stole my ticker ??? I want it back now please. I can't believe I planned for this cruise for 2 years and yeah o.k I may have changed the design once or twice but now I only have 6 days before I leave and THIS happens?? o.k I am done, back to your packing for your magical cruise.


Please dis-regard above post............poster losing mind. I know it wasn't there now it is. o.k so sit back and enjoy the show. Andrew are you laughing yet???

 

[SeaSpray]

Oh TERRY... I remember that epeisode so well.. Trust me I will not be tasting those bubbles for anyoen GOT IT!!..lol
But can you imagine if they saw them,, some wise TSA agent would probably wonder about them, even if they were in the luggage with all the otehr DCL stuff and make me taste them all or toss them all..YUKKIEE

Terry.. when do you leave to get ROBBIE>> Jaclyn and Craig talked yesterday I guess...

I have so much stuff still to do AWWWWW!!!
I just did my RADISSON on line .. that was so great to be able to do that. Andy did you do low floor or high floor??

DOREEN

Doreen: John and I will be driving down to NJ in a few hours... I was supposed to be SLEEPING IN this morning, but I just couldn't. LOL

I'm so glad that Craig and Jaclyn had a chance to talk. They haven't chatted in a long time, I think. I hope they have a great time on the cruise. I hope we ALL have a great time on the cruise! I'm sure we will!! LOL

Verandah man you will be so tired before you step on that ship this time next week!

I was up at 4:30am UK time to come to the airport, will be in Florida early hours Sunday now!

Please post a picture of todays MAGIC whe you can!

I sure will, I've already checked the port cam a few times, but the camera is facing OUT the port channel this morning, will check again now and see if the cam has changed any.


Edited to add: The cam is still facing out to sea.

Ok I'm happy!! I just got off the phone with Shirley (of The Perfect Gift) and my baskets have been ordered!!!! She is such a wonderful person and a delight to speak with!!! Tina, thanks for mentioning her the other day because otherwise I might've forgotten until it was too late!!!!

 

[castoff]

Did everyone hear about the Tropical storm heading our way>>>>>>>>>>
Here is the latest picture of it.







Just trying to put a smile on people's faces.

DOREEN

I selected low floor at the Radisson.

My box is packed, sealed and ready to take to the post office!!!

The 3rd load of clothes is in the dryer, and the 4th and final load of laundry is in the washer. Hazel will be thrilled when she wakes up and find the laundry finished!!!

Now, it's time to get cracking on the bills!!!

The lawn can wait a little while longer!!!

Way to go on the laundry, Andy!!

I'm going to choose low floor also, although I'm not sure where the 2 king bed suites are located. Last time, we were on a top floor. I'm going to go do the pre-registration right now while I'm thinking of it!

Edited to add: It's done, I've pre-registered us at the Radisson and printed out the check-in pass

Terry: Karma is probaly going to come back and bite me in the butt for that one. Just wait till Bev comes on and sees it. Hey didn't it at least take your minds off of things for a sec. Then it gave you a chuckle so my job here is done. I did check the weather before posting and it's nothing but SMOOTH SAILING>

Mornin' All!!


HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY KELSEY!!


Tina - you scared the bejeesus out of me! It was funny though!

Andrew - Thinking of your and your family and hope the delay zooms by.

We're too excited to sleep too! Today I have to weigh my suitcases. I think they're too heavy

Have fun in Jersey Terry!

Hope your Mom is better Doreen. I can just picture you having to drink the bubbles - hilarious!

Andy - you're already at so many chores - you're putting me to shame!

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS FIRST COMMENT SINCE TODAY IS 8/12, I GUESS DARLENE DID NOT LEAVE YESTERDAY

"I just noticed on the above list that Darlene was to leave yesterday. Has anyone heard from her.

THIS COMMENT STANDS THOUGH:

"Darlene did you leave yet? If you can read this have a safe trip!"



Hi Sue - I must have missed your post! How the heck are you??? Will miss you this cruise

Will miss you too Joanna! Have a great vacation!

MR

Darlene leaves later this afternoon, I received a PM from her this morning. Today is the 12th Mary Rose.

 

[O'BWV]

Andy - OMG either I'm REALLY tired, OR I'm wishing the time before vacation away! Either way, I better change that post or people will really start to wonder about me (as if they don't already)


Thanks,
MR

I've been so busy that I've barely had time to keep up with all the posts, let alone add my own. For anyone that's interestd, here's what we've got going:

We leave on Tuesday at 10:30am from PHL. We'll be spending 4 nights at the Poly before departing for the port. I have a towncar scheduled for 10am pickup, which should get us into the port around 11am, I think.

We'll be in cabin #7062 if anyone wants to stop by. I've done a few door magnets and I hope that I remember them!

I have my 2 teens (DD16 & DS14) signed up for the Wild Side excursion on CC for Sunday. I told them that it would be a good way to meet some of the other teens onboard and possibly make some new friends. DD16 (Angela) is all for it but DS14 (Tommy) was less enthusiastic. Regardless, I'm sending them to the Stack that first day for the orientation.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at the DIS meet. You guys sound so organized compared to me! I'm just beginning to get things together and panic mode is beginning to set it! You'd think that with 2 cruises under my belt, this would be almost routine for me.

Anyway, I just wanted to check in and say "hi" to everyone. Have a safe trip, regardless of how you're getting to the port. I'll see all of you next Saturday at 3 pm!

 

[O'BWV]

Hey Lisa! I added you to the departure list above and I'm sure Tina will add you to the stateroom list too! Seems like there are alot of DIS teens this cruise. There is especially alot of older teen girls (16/17) and 9 year old girls, but there is also alot of teens your son's age. I can think of five 13/14 year old boys right off the top of my head. Hopefully they'll meet up on CC. And let's hope they leave the "TOO COOL" at home

Have a safe journey!
