Christmas/Holiday 2011 on the Wonder: 8 night Mexican Riviera 12/18/2011

Unfortunately my Xyron is the 850 (does full sheets of paper) and only the magnetic cartridge has been discontinued. :rolleyes1

Fooey!
 
I have a question for everyone flying in for this cruise. Are you using a shuttle or car service to get you to/from the port? If so, which one?

We are staying at the LAX Marriott the night before and then heading to DL after the cruise. I am trying to find reputable and not super expensive transportation to get my family to/from everywhere. We do not want to rent a car. My husband drives 3 hours+ a day for work, so vacation time is his time to get AWAY from the stress of driving. I guess that's why we love to cruise. :lovestruc:thumbsup2

Any suggestions of companies to check out? Thanks everyone.
 

Is the FE now closed? Is the spreadsheet updated with everyone? Or just post 152?

I sure hope it's now closed because I am receiving the things I ordered in the mail now. I would love to be done shopping! Started packing the "gifts" suitcase already, believe it or not! This way I won't forget anything. :)

We are staying at the Embassy Suites LAX South/El Segunda and then taking some type of shuttle. I haven't worked that part out yet.

It's closed, but I haven't updated the spreadsheet with your friends you PM'ed me about. My laptop cord died and there's only so much I can do on my iPhone! I can use DD's laptop tonight to update the spreadsheet and will email it to everyone. Post 152 will get updated as soon as i can get on a real computer. Right now I'm killing time while at karate for DS...I should have brought grading with me like I usually do, but instead I am vacation planning!!!!!

So excited!!
 
OK guys, I got the last of my FE gifts today and I am DONE shopping. So if others join, we unfortunately will not be able to deliver anymore. :confused3 The kids really did a great job helping me pick out some awesome gifts so I am very excited about distributing everything when we are on board! This is going to be a great holiday cruise! My kids are totally jazzed about getting even MORE presents than our usual holiday time. LOL.

I think that we should start a 2nd FE group. I know there are going to be more families that join in later. It happens every time. This is the earliest close date I have ever had on one of our cruises. I think 6 weeks before is just too early. I realize the date was set but I think that starting another group will not exclude those who join in the next few weeks.

So for FE group #2 people in group one can chose to participate or not. We will participate in both groups. Which means that our family will give to both groups 1 & 2. We then will receive from groups 1 & 2.

I know some of your already ordered your stuff for the FE. Depending on the size of group 2 you may be able to join in that group too. We have joined late before (5 days before a sailing once) and were always welcomed into the group. I feel awful for those who are joining later and would love to be able to include them.

I will start an area on the spreadsheet for group #2. So if anyone else from group 1 wants to join in on the 2nd group add your name there. :thumbsup2 If anyone who is new needs the link to the spreadsheet please send me a pm. :)

So at this point group 1 is closed and group 2 is open. jptowns please pm for a link to the spreadsheet and add yourselfs there. I will not be keeping another master list for group 2...we will just use the spreadsheet to keep track. Thanks!

Great idea and thanks for heading up a second group. :thumbsup2 I know I myself can't take on adding any more in the way of gifts. I have to get my existing ones done and put together. I've got way too much going on in the next few weeks, but a big kudos to those who have some extra gifts that they can share! :goodvibes

Also, post #152 is updated with the final names for the spreadsheet for Group #1.

It's getting closer, Amigos!!!

Awesome idea!! I too have my plate full now (maybe because it's approaching year end and there is so much to do in terms of holiday gifts to extended family, etc). But having a 2nd group is a fantastic idea and I am sure the newbies would appreciate that!

Thanks for the info. I just found Karmel Shuttle. They seem to be about the same as Supershuttle, they just make less stops. So, I think we'll give them a whirl. Here's hoping it goes well ;)
