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

[Verandah Man]

I'm hoping to get my DD nearly 16, to join us at 3pm next Saturday at the meet, if I tell her there will be other teens there her age, she might not give me a hassle about it.

In person, she tends to be like her dad, on the shy side, that's until we get to know people, then we open up more. Hazel is the outgoing one in our family, she can talk to anyone, anywhere, about anything, at anytime.


Y'all have now been officially warned!!!

Hi All.....haven't been around in a long time. I worked about 55 hours this past week and am exhausted! I am a nurse on my feet running all day long, so 55 hours feels like 155 hours, LOL. I cannot wait until Friday and am counting the minutes. Going to the salon to beautify now, Lord knows I need it. At least this week coming is not so bad and for that I am grateful!

Hope all is well with everyone and LET THE VACATION(s) BEGIN!!! WOO-HOO!!!

Mary Rose: We're on the 10:30am Radisson shuttle too!

Andy: We'll be dragging...oh, I mean *bringing* DSs with us to the 3pm DIS meet too. lol At least some of the kids have met before, so hopefully won't feel too shy or too self-conscious, but both of my DSs can definitely be on the shy side until they really get to know someone. I think Jeff mentioned this yesterday and I think it's a great idea; let's try and get all the kids introduced early on, so hopefully they'll have friends to hang around with

To all that are headed out - Have a safe & uneventful journey!

Andy - Can you come on over - I have 5 or 6 loads of laundry that need to get done.

Andrew - I hope you guys found some comfortable chairs this am. What time is your flight going to leave?

I just went to Walmart to get my magnetic paper and they don't have it anymore. I guess I am making a trip to Office Max this afternoon.

Yes in nice chairs the flights are still delayed about another 3 hours to go to the expected time of departure now.Long day doing nothing.

Tina-Thank you for making me have to change my shorts Nothing like a ferocious welcome for my first cruise

This ones from my kids at the airport to penfriends.

Good morning everyone.

Its DH & mine 17th wedding anniversary today. We're taking the kids to our favorite restaurant tonight and celebrate as a family.

Before then we're heading to a scuba dive store and get DH a decent pair of snorkel fins.

I can't believe we're down to 7 days.

Well, one of my wishes for this cruise came true - the new cruise director on the Magic is our all-time favorite CM: Andy from Australia.

We have a 7:00am flight on Saturday. Do you think we really need to get to the airport 3 hours ahead of time at that time of the day? DH and I were thinking if we got there at 5:00am that the security lines would be pretty small.

We'll probably be at the port around noon. Just look for the bedraggled-looking family wearing Andy's shirts.

 

[zack&alexmom]

Andrew & Family - message from Zack:

I am sorry to hear that you are stuck at the airport. What are you doing to keep busy? What rides are you most excited about at Universal? I have never been to Universal but I hear it is fun! Write back if you have time. I have a friend here but my Mom will let me know if you write back.

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!

By noon next Saturday I hope to already be in Parrot Cay enjoying cold mango soup and jumbo shrimp!!!!!!!!!

Just arrived home from the post office. I mailed my "secret cruise project" to my mom's and will pick it up there on Thursday. On the way home I started singing, "This time next week I'll be in the DCL Terminal waiting to board the Magic!!!"



I sure hope I can get some sleep this week. This is my 5th cruise on the Magic, and I'm still as excited as I was before the first cruise in August 2003!!!!!!!!!!!

Hazel is starting to get all our clothes together that will be going in the suitcases!!!!!


Andrew, the port cam is still facing out to see, no signs of the Magic yet this morning. What is with them people?

 

[Dsnylndlvrs]

OK, so why is it that every time I look at the clock now, I'm constantly thinking of where I'll be in exactly one week?

One week from this moment, my family and I, along with some DISers and many other wonderful people will be sitting at port anxiously waiting to get on board the Magic!

Can't wait!
Can't wait!
Can't wait!


OK, that's out of my system. Back to my chores...
