Dec 5, 2009 -- now traveling to Tortola

[JD&LYD]

[Inkmahm;The suitcases are out and ready to pack! Good thing since we leave in 24 hours. Just updated our seats to business class on Airtran so we get free suitcases. The plan is still to take only one each and then an empty carryon for the stuff we always end up buying while we are there

Careful with Airtran. Last time we flew them we did the upgrade from MPLS, w/one stop in Atlanta. When we got to ATL. We either had to move or pay another $75 EA. They considered it two different flights...we moved and wrote a nasty letter to mngmt. which they ignored of course...

[mommyoftwinfants;I am sitting here at my desk with my box of tissues and a nose like rudolph (so my boys told me this morning) and I can smell this womans perfume sitting next to me, I just wonder how much she actually has on, Good thing I can't smell right now :lmao


CHICKEN SOUP It has been known to work, or atleast relieve some symptoms Seriously, hope you'll feel better by cruise time

I'm curious if anyone has every had a fish extender stolen before. I meant to post this earlier but it's insane in my house. I've had magnets stolen in the past and I've asked DH if there was a way he could secure ours. I suspect mine may grow legs and walk off. When you see it you'll understand why.

Thanks! Rosemary

zip ties work great

If you pay for your upgrade you have to pay per segment but when you use A+ rewards it works for both legs.

I have to say I have a pretty good mom, when I walked in the door from work I had some home made chicken noodle soup waiting for me on the stove.

This was discussed on the FE board. If you secure it with a cable tie to the fish it shouldn't walk away. Also, since it is personalized, I would think it would be less likely to go anywhere. Make sure you bring something in your luggage to cut the ziptie at the end of the cruise. We just got ours. Will need post a picture soon as I can upload the pictures.

On our last cruise somebody took all of my cut outs I made with my cricut .... , I was so disappointed because it took me forever to glue those suckers together.

 

[mommyoftwinfants]

I just have to say

4 DAYS!!!!

can't wait to meet everyone​

 

[fluvannaj]

Here's our FE. I picked it up from Tiffany (gradysmom here on DIS.)

The white material was what we made Jessica's crib sheets with 10 years ago.

Rosemary, we've never had our FE stolen. We use a plastic zip tie to tie it to the fish and just cut the plastic tie when we are taking it down. We too have had a couple magnets stolen. Last time I printed out address label sized stickers with our last name on them, put it on the back of each magnet and not one went wandering. On our 2nd cruise we had a Tink magnet stolen and then a couple cruises ago we had our DVC members magnets stolen. I heard someone bump against our door about 2 AM and looked in the hall to see 3 inebriated guys in their early 20's stumbling down the hall. I noticed our DVC magnets were gone (our stateroom host had put 2 like Mickey ears with the circular door number). The next day we were walking by one of the rooms on our deck and they must have had about 40 DVC magnets. I think those guys cleared out the entire deck and put them all on one door. We never took them back because I didn't want someone to see us doing it and think we were stealing them!!

Figures....4 days from the cruise and my DW has a cold and an upper respitory infection.....she went to the doctor and he gave her a couple of perscriptions....says she will not feel better at least until Saturday or Sunday...
I wonder if they would ever not let someone board the ship if they had a cold?
She started popping the medicine already so lets hope....no....I will pray she feels better!

Tom,
Provided it's not contagious, do not even breathe any mention of her not feeling well, or they definitely will not let you on. I imagine that the meds will start working and by Friday she'll feel better, and even moreso by Saturday. Make sure she gets a lot of rest, then, get her more rest again. To be sure, give her more rest. You are now the gopher, official packer and chief maid and bottle washer. Don't worry, its only temporary and you'll be spoiled directly after getting aboard. Once aboard, head over to your stateroom and let her rest again until the mandatory muster call. Then let her rest again.
By Sunday, she'll be able to do the limbo on deck!

It's always per leg when you upgrade and they price accordingly. We book non-stop as I hate layovers. For us, it's $69 if we pay cash or 4 A+ rewards each to upgrade. This trip, we used the rewards.

I'm packed! DH is still working on it. We are bringing 3 suitcases and a carryon for 2 people. Those darn extra shoes and clothes for Palo, plus we don't want to have to do any laundry. Not to mention the extra empty space to hold all the stuff we'll likely buy on the trip.
We leave home in 7 hours!

Ohhh I wish I could rest, it's a no go on not working tomorrow...my bosses husband has a fever so she has to stay home...(We were also suppose to go on a cruise in June(got a great deal) but my bosses husband was diagnosed with cancer and she has been out a lot lately) I should be asleep right now but waiting for the towels to dry so I can fold them and be done with all of the laundry

I hope I can remember to call at midnight to upgrade the boys and I to business class using A+ rewards, we have enough for both ways....

I still can't get over I paid less than $200 for all 5 of us to fly non-stop roundtrip to MCO and fly in business class if the seats are available for upgrade

She & I can compare Rx I came out with a bags worth of Rx & OTC. I am taking a decongestant so my ears aren't a bother on the plane.

I have found that HOT lemonade with honey or sugar works wonders .... think about it ... that's what is in some of those cough drops

Hugs to her as she heals QUICK!

We leave in 5 minutes! Yay! DH packed until after midnight last night so he should be pretty tired today. Now we just have to catch the cats and get moving... See you all on Saturday!
