Cruise 10/11/2003 Part 2

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Auntrenae...thanks for replying...I think that is the Disney outlet that we were at on our last trip...am looking for music cd's and maybe jackets or golf shirts...any of that at your outlet (plus I'd love to get the pin for my daughter)--unfortunately, no little ones at home (except maybe the dog!! We only have one child (ok, two if you count our dog..my baby!) who will turn 14 years old in February!! Where is the outlet where you work?? Do you have to be there to get the pin?? Mary Jo

 

[Tulirose]

Count down still on! Busy, busy, busy. Hubby just went to bed to go to sleep, cuz he's the driver. He's all packed. Now it's my turn! I thought I had everything of mine ironed, but I didn't. Biggest decision was what fancy dresses to leave home! No, that wasn't really the biggest thing today but it's kinda nice to think it was!

Leaving early in the a.m. I'll post again before I head for bed.

 

[auntrenae]

Mary Jo,
Our store isn't an outlet, just a store, but we have a sale section in the back with some great deals. As of the end of today, there are no golf shirts back there, or CD's or anything else on your list, but there are some cute black T-shirts with gold sparkles that say 'MICKEY ROCKS!' on them. There are some teen size nightshirts with tink on them that say 'Flirt' on the back. They are really cute.
I'm sending you a pm, Renae

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Thanks, Renae...got your pm!! Where is your store??

Who is going to be left to post???? Tulirose, papa and hopelea and bette and Kim are leaving bright and early in the morning. Goofynut, Lisa G., Fiona are already on their way...Arlene, hygiene99, scootersmom, Dan and Scott, et. al, Mary and maybe Ave' and us are all leaving Thursday night.......WHO IS GOING TO BE LEFT TO POST??? Sorry if I missed anyone!!

That means that all of our Florida people are going to have to help us get to at least #7100 or maybe #7200!!! Good luck!!

I really should be packing (absolutely nothing in the suitcase yet although dd and dh are just about done!!) Decided to set the alarm for 3:00 a.m. and get up (hubby is on 3rd shift) and finish my house straightening and maybe start on the suitcase. Our dog saw Sarah packing and went into the bathroom and laid on the floor and pretended she was sleeping..like in comatose...she started breathing heavy and wouldn't open her eyes even when we shook her!!! She is going into her "if I get sick routine, maybe they won't go!!" Don't anyone tell me that dogs are dumb!!

 

[papa]

night folks. mike

 

[padisneyfan]

I'm still here. I have everything packed that I can. Last minute things like medication will be put in the bag on Friday morning.
I can't believe that I am packed so far ahead. Just afraid that I will end up putting more stuff in the bags since I have time to think about it.

Still need to make sure I have all my paperwork together and put in my carry on.

Got grass mowed tonight, then was able to get my nails done. Tomorrow clean the house and pay the bills.

Friday dogs to kennel and leave for airport by 2:30pm. We have to change planes so won't get to Orlando until around 10pm.

Safe travels to all.

Well, I'm sure that I'll be one of the last ones posting, since I won't leave until Friday afternoon. But, I only have a couple hours drive to WDW, then to the port on Sat morning. Still nothing packed for me, that will be for tomorrow.

 

[alikat99]

ohh, Chris wants to know, do we need bug spray???

 

[padisneyfan]

Amy--- I don't remember the bugs being any problem anywhere.
Hope your back feels better.

We're still hanging around in Ohio!

We are mostly all packed! Hopefully, I won't have to run around like a nut tomorrow, which is my usual state on the day we leave. I still have some odds and ends to toss in and maybe rearrange a little bit.

Josh and I cleaned the guinea pig cage tonight. Will take care of the cat box tomorrow and get the dog and all her stuff to DD's house. They'll be checking in daily on the other critters.

Mary Jo--- Sure was great talking to you this afternoon! Makes me even more anxious to get to Florida and see everyone. Thanks for calling!

See you all very soon!!

Colleen

 

[Tulirose]

Well, guess I will say my goodnights and goodbys. What's done is done. What's not is not. But all is well and I'm ready for a good time.

I remember what it was like two years ago when everyone slowly started leaving for the 9/22/01 cruise and the thread got quieter and quieter. It was really weird. I was one of the last posters because we didn't leave for that trip until the actual Saturday of the cruise!!! I'll NEVER do that again!

Safe journeys to all. See ya soon!

 

[bettemom]

Will go to Cape this afternoon to see Shirley...

Tomorrow,spending day with dear friends...and then meeting some of you at MNSSHP

Hugs to all,

Kim & Bette

[ohioscootersdad]

At work on Thursday AM, hope to get out early, so I can help Colleen with last minute details.

We think we have to upgrade to a mini-van after seeing how much luggage we have, plus my mothers.

WE ARE SO READY FOR THIS VACATION!

Can't wait to meet eveyone new, and to see the ones we've already met.

I'm bringing the laptop and plan to be one of the first to test out the new wireless access. With any luck, you'll be seeing one of the first posts from the new system when I get out there (Cause I'll be fixing it for them if its broken )

We're (Jen and I) going to MNSSHP, then staying at a friends who is dropping us off at the Port. All the documents are filled out and the bags are almost packed (Tux gets picked up today)

 

[taswira]

I finally did the laundry that has to go back into the bag that is still packed from my back-to-back Wonder. Throw in another dressy dress and I should be all set. This may be the only time in my life that I do 3 DCL cruises within 3 weeks. I'm trying to do it without stress.

Note: I <I>can be</I> EXTREMELY SHY at times. It might not seem so from my posts on the DIS, but face-to-face is another matter. Although I am talkative with my closest friends, in general I am the type who sits quietly and <I>observes</I> people and goings-on. I only state this because I do NOT want any <I>Cruisetoberfesters</I> to think I don't like them. I know there are probably many others in this group who might be the same way, so be assured you are not alone!

Laptop: I nearly decided to bring my laptop, but cruising is one of the few occasions I am away from a computer, so I hope to stick to my norm of leaving it home. I will probably bring my Pocket PC though, so I can type my journal on the tiny keyboard!

<B>alikat99 - </B> Are you still going to MNSSHP a second time, on the 19th? I'll be there, but not in costume. My nephew has to fly, so a friend is going with me, and he doesn't want to dress up. We have ressies at LTT for 7 p.m.

 

[piglet33]

I'm still here. I'll be at work until around 1:00. I still have some packing and last minute stuff to do so I may not be posting anymore after that. I can't believe it's almost here. We have a 10:25 am flight tomorrow morning and should be in Orlando around 1:00. I can't wait. Boy do I need this vacation!

By the way, I was going to drop Lenny and Haley with the luggage off at the port and then return the rented car to Budget. Does Lenny have to carry all the luggage in the building or is there anyone there that can help? Are there luggage carts or anything. Last time we used DCL buses so I don't know how this works. How does everyone else do this?

Thanks - Renee'

Hi there. I don't know if anyone is left or if you have all gone but I just wanted to wish you a great cruise and ask a favour. We are on the 25th October sailing but are leaving for WDW next Friday the 17th. This means that we won't be here to read any trip reports from your cruise.

If anyone gets a spare second (!!) it would be great if you could post from the Magic telling us what movies are on board and what the changes to the ship are like.

Have a fabulous trip.

 

[padisneyfan]

My last day at work

Hope to leave early so I can get all those last minute errands in. I have not cooked all week and today is garbage day, so threw out everything in the refig that will go bad while we are away. So will not be cooking tonight.

I will keep checking in until we leave Friday afternoon.

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Renee"...I'm still at work today but am leaving at 11:00 a.m. because I still have to pack (Sarah and Sam are done)--our flight leaves at 6:10 p.m. tonight and we get in at 10:47 p.m. --luckily, we live only one exit away from our airport which is nice!! I am renting from Avis this time and Budget for next weekend. I also intend to drop off Sam and Sarah and luggage at the port and return the car to Avis and use their shuttle (without baggage)--there will be porters at the port to help with the luggage so you just need to have a few dollars to give to them. They deliver the stuff right to your room!! I will try to give you a call before I leave work today!!

KEH....I won't be posting for much longer because I am leaving work at 11:00 a.m. and need to go home and pack because we are leaving tonight but I know several people will have internet access and I will ask them to post for you...do you want us to post on this thread or start a new thread...Live from the Magic!! Let me know!! Have a great cruise--we will be having withdrawal symptoms when you are getting on board!! Mary Jo

 

[KEH]

A new thread would be great if people don't mind. I will be sure to look out for the nail marks on the railings form where all you guys have hung on, refusing to leave.

Thanks.
