I was thinking what a bummer it was that there are so few posts to read, but then I realized it just means that WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO LEAVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hardly anyone left around to post anything and more of us leaving tomorrow.

I am DEFINATELY "too excited to sleep"!!!!!

Safe travels all! I am off to pack those last few things......and then lay awake all night looooonnnnnnggggg!

We're here at my mom's place in Florida. It was a very L-O-N-G day of travel. I called and talked to Jeff's DW Missy after we landed in Orlando. We had to cancel our dinner meet for tonight. We got delayed at the Orlando Airport because of severe weather. We waited over an hour just to get our luggage. By the time we left the airport Angelina was so hungry we headed to Sanford and stopped at a Steak and Shake to grab some dinner.

I don't even know if I am making any sense tonight, I had a total of two hours sleep last night, didn't get any sleep on the plane, and my mom's neighbors just stopped by to say hello.

I've got some other message to check, so I'll check back in later.

Doreen--your box of bubbles are sitting by my feet, LOL!!!

I started a journal on the plane of the trip and hope to post that later as well.

To those who will be traveling tomorrow, GOD SPEED, especially if there is bad weather in Florida when you arrive.

The bags are packed. The dish washer is running. (Devin offered to load it after I asked him to empty it the other day. What a good boy!) We are leaving in about 10 minutes to take the dog to the kennel.

We'll see everyone on the ship. I wish everyone a safe and comfortable trip!

Take care and I'll see y'all on Saturday at the meet in the Promenade Lounge!

Packed , unpacked and repacked

 

[mickeymom923]

I checked and rechecked my bags and realized I still forgot a few things. So off to the store again for last minute things. I'm so tired yet so excited. I'll probably be up all night. Our flight is 1035 am tomorrow. Glad everyone, so far, arrived safely in Florida. Looking forward to our dinner tomorrow and meeting everyone Saturday at 3pm.

Safe travels for all.

Take care.

DOREEN

 

[Ski-and-Sea]

Back from seeing the Mets beat the Phillies. Can you believe our section of seats was in the shade the entire time. The big jumbo-tron kept on showing pictures of people sitting in the sun and boy they looked all sweaty and hot.

For DD it was a dream come true. Her first game and her team won and her favorite player hit a home run that landed not too far from our seats. We were able to see the ball just make it over the wall.

Citizens Bank Park is a gorgeous stadium. I can't believe that over 45,000 attended that game. It didn't feel that crowded. The kids got to run the bases after the game.

And we ended up sitting in a section that was full of Mets fans.

Only negative was the supreme amount of rush hour traffic after the game. Took us an extra hour to get home.

So now all our focus is on the cruise. DH is doing his laundry right now. Tomorrow I will wash the rest of the clothes then pack up the suitcases.

 

[disneycrazzzy]

We are off on our Disney adventures.
My younger sister left yesterday and will enjoy WDW tomorrow.
Older sister leaves tomorrow night.
See y'all on the ship!!!

I can't believe it!
It is 5:38pm in WA State.
I have my laundry done, packing done, dishes done, house secure.
I just have to remember that pesky garage door as we drive away...

Bye. Bye.

Anna

 

[SeaSpray]

Well it's almost 9pm....and I'm still not all packed yet!!! But it's ok, our limo won't be here until 11am tomorrow morning...so there's plenty of time, and since I won't have to get up early tomorrow, I plan on staying up late tonight!

Karen: Elaine is a friend of ours who we'll be meeting at the Magic Kingdom the day we get off the ship, and she was also at the DIS brunch in NJ last month Oh...and my nails (all 20 of them! LOL) are OPI "Outback Aphrodesiac" My manicurist is so nice, she even gave me the bottle of nail polish to take on the trip with me in case I need a touch-up!! (Since I get my nails done every 2 weeks, I don't actually own any nail polish myself. lol)

Andy: Glad you made it down there safe and sound. Sorry about the bad weather. Is there more bad weather in the forecast for tomorrow? I'm going to have to go check... Ok, weather.com says "partly cloudy, slight chance of thunderstorms..." So I guess basically anything is possible tomorrow. lol


I have everyone who's going to Grills has a wonderful meal! We'll see you back at the Radisson later on

 

[SeaSpray]

HELP!! Does anyone have one of those things that removes the security tags from clothes?!?!? I bought a bunch of clothes at the mall a couple of weeks ago and I didn't take them out of the bag until just now and a pair of white capris still has the stupid plastic security tag attached inside the bottom of the leg!!!

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on one of the hand-held machines that removes them?? LOL

 

[zack&alexmom]

Doreen - I saw you tonight - did your kids tell you?

Linda

 

[O'BWV]

Oh, why is it all the last minute things that bog you down!

I may not be able to post anymore if I want to finish everything and take a shower. (I sure my planemates would appreciate it if I did that LOL )

I went to my Dr. today and got Valium. NOW I'm ready to fly!!

In case I'm not back, I wish everyone leaving tomorrow and Saturday and very safe journey and I'll see you all REALLY SOON!!!!!

I can't believe it's finally here............


Mary Rose

 

[mickeymom923]

Just got back from doing my last minute shopping. Well, actually, I guess last minute would be shopping at Cape Canaveral tomorrow night. I'm so excited and so wide awake and so have to finish packing. My mom's only 1/2 packed. She said she'll probably stay up all night too.

Safe travels again to all.


CYA REAL SOON.

God Speed and Safe Travels to All!!!!!

Doreen--I left the box all taped up. We might have to tie your box and my box to the roof of my mom's car in the morning, as we brought too many suitcases, LOL!!! Hazel dosen't pack light, LOL!!!

We'll get the boxes in the car somehow, it's only a 90 minute ride from my mom's place to the Radisson!!!

We are all heading off to bed, it has been a very long two days, and I refuse to get sick for this cruise!!!

See y'all real soon!!!!!!!!! Good Night

 

[famof8]

Good night all. I am heading to bed and my computer is going over to hubby's office to spend the week. I will see you all either at the Radisson or on our beautiful Magic boat!

Safe travels, everyone!
