Calling All 8/19/06 Special Western Cruisers! AKA "The Cruisin' Castaways" Part 2

[SeaSpray]

Doreen & Bev:

I sent a PM to both of you with my LS order.


Tina: I'll be thinking of you this weekend.

 

[ElliotFan]

Hopefully, the 26 of us will be seated near everyone at a few tables, but I don't have any idea who will be at each table. I guess we will have to wait until we check in and see what table assignments we have.

Who says that we have to stay at our assigned tables? As long as they are all in the same general area, I say, let's mix things up!

Doreen--I'll take a bottle of bubbles for Angelina of you have any extra, she might enjoy blowing bubbles at sailaway. Thanks!!!

 

[SeaSpray]

VerANDY Man, how are you feeling today?? I hope you still aren't sore.


Everyone: Wow, I cannot believe that tomorrow I'll be posting that we only have 4 weeks left! This cruise has always been SO FAR AWAY that I haven't given any thought at all to making sure we have everything we'll need. We do have our passports, so those are all set. But I mean, clothes... I know that I have clothes. I bought Robby a new suit just a couple of months ago so his suit still fits. I'm pretty sure that Craig's suit still fits him. I have to get John's suit out and have him try it on. I know we all have shorts and t-shirts and sneakers. John and I have sandals, neither of the boys wear sandals. On the last cruise I bought them each sandals and I don't think they wore them at all. lol Bathing suits, I think we're all set there...

ah...don't mind all that, I was just thinking, or should I say TYPING, out loud.

This weekend I'm going to start a packing list, then I start checking things off...


Have a great day everyone. It's my first PAY DAY!

 

[Verandah Man]

Terry, don't spend your $$ all in one place now, LOL!!!

Still feeling a bit stiff and sore this morning, not to mention, I am quite black and blue to boot!!! I just love my job!!! LOL!!!

 

[castoff]

Good Morning Everyone
Thanks for the wishes & Hugs. I haven't packed yet, not sure what I am waiting for. I am giving Dante a bath so he is nice for all the attention he will recieve while being boarded.


Terry: I have post it notes EVERYWHERE with things do for cruise and lists. My plan is to attack them when I get back. I think I might need a pair of sandels? Trying to cut down on the number of shoes I bring this trip. Last time is was just sooooo many shoes.


Doreen: What is the answer??? I said 650, I think you said 575..........



Andy: Hope today is better for you and you heel quickly. Sorry for the pun.

 

[Ct_TiggerFan]

I've been busy with the planing for our drive to the autotrain and then drive home.

Maps are all set. Beth is still looking for clothes for this trip Being a stay at home mom the warerobe is mainly teashirts, jeans and shorts. Nothing real formal. Me, Ive lost so many lbs my suits are too large.

So the next two weeks is clothes shopping for us, then we start packing,
We have a checklist that is 3 pages long LOL

 

[Verandah Man]

Hazel is also good at making the packing list, and I'm sure she will be starting very soon since we fly to Florida 4 weeks from today!!!

In fact, 4 weeks from this very moment we should already be on our plane heading south!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

Terry - the last cruise I bought so much stuff, I hardly wore any of it except one formal dress and a pair of capris, bathing suits, shorts, tops and sandals, flip flops, sneakers and one pair of formal shoes. This time I am trying to minimalize as much as possible. One suitcase with those space bags is my mission this year. I am also spending the week after the cruise at WDW so this will be a challenge for me!

Congrats on you !st paycheck this week!!

Andy - how are you feeling?

Tina - prayers are with you this weekend!!!

Excuse any typing errors, I went to the eye doctor this am and my eyes are dialated. I was glad to be sitting down when they told me how much my new prescription is going to cost??? It really gets expensive when you get older!!!

Tomorrow starts 4 weeks left!!! Get ready to do the happy dance!!

 

[PoohJen]

Tina, thoughts are with you and your family this weekend.

 

[allshookup]

Tina: Best wishes! I will be thinking of you.

Andy: Hope you feel better fast!

We are doing early dining so we will miss out on linking with all of you. Early just works better for us with the kids going in the clubs. Last time we did late dining & they seemed to miss a lot & then DH & I didn't get much alone time. Not that I expect to be separated from them all the time, but a couple of hours at night would be nice. Sort of like a date & goodness knows we don't get too many of those these days. We went to lunch alone in April for our anniversary. Wow that was a treat!

I finally filled out our on-line registration forms yesterday. I told you procrastinator was my middle name.

I have NOT finished shopping for the cruise yet. I did buy a cocktail dress for formal night. Last time I wore a gown but I didn't feel like tripping on a long dress this time. I got honking big shoes though so I can appear to be a couple of inches taller than I really am. I hope I don't fall off them! LOL

I got DD a gorgeous dress off Amazon of all places. I wasn't sure just how nice it was going to be, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I want to buy some water shoes for the kids because we are going to do the Playa Mia beach break & I heard it was a bit rocky?

Okay I guess that's enough about me! How's everyone else doing?

This may sound weird...

with all the talk about late seating links it made me start thinking.

I feel like we are sitting at the "kiddie table" .

LOL

Tina,, believe it or not it said 373 miles from Buffalo to NYC ..I was shocked. I was going to call you back but you were on the phone you said.

DARLENE.. there are many families that can still be linked together on the early dining. I remember MARY ROSE was going to be one of them,, who else is on EARLY.. just go and link them..

TINA AND DARLENE.. mind if I join your puddle a few times..??

[sandygirl]

We are linked for early dining. I was just experiencing that "I'll never be at the adult table " syndrome. LOL

All my girls like to eat early; as a matter of fact 6:00 pm is pushing it so 8:30 pm is out of the question.

I am sure you folks will have a great time during late dining, but I am with my family and that is what matters most.
