No docs today - my travel agent actually said that they place in Seattle will get them tonight and overnight them tomorrow. My parents will not get theirs and my nephew (who is booked on my parents reservation) won't get his to fly from NY. What a mess! I am pretty disappointed in the whole thing! I don't know why Disney would take so long to get it all together.

I also am working the trip into every conversation with the kids! I am pretty sure the guys at work are tired of hearing about it - especially when I told them how much I was going to appreciate the 70 degree weather as we were walking to lunch in 10 degree weather ;-)

Today our temp is 70. Tomorrow the temp is calling for 38. It goes up and down everyday until we leave which will be 54. Where do I go for weather down there? Andrea, I know you know!!!!! If you want you could just share the info since we have the same travel dates! I am kinda packing both ways.

I checked the weather. It looks like it is going to be around 79F for Nassau and our day at Castaway Cay.

He he he...I am surprised we got them! I was about to call disney if we didn't get them yesterday.

They are cutting it close to the date!!

Ok, i called and UPS said they are scheduled to be delivered today, however i will not dance until i have them in my hand

There's a thread on the regular cruise board that says that people leaving on the 9th still haven't gotten docs yet either. I did the online thing, so other than the luggage tags the only thing I needed was the Bahamian customs form (which I know you can get at the terminal (from past experience when I forgot to take mine)).

I was wondering how cold the water is going to be....I have the Rose Island Snorkeling Excursion on Nassau and the personal watercraft tour on CC, and not sure if I'm going to freeze or not. Thought about cancelling the snorkeling out, but don't really want to. I did snorkel in March the 1st time I went and it was cold!

I'm doing Candlelight Processional Saturday night - is anyone else planning on doing this? I haven't decided what show yet though.

Here's the 15 day outlook for Orlando, Nassau and Castaway Cay- It keeps changing (not just daily, it is different just about everytime I check it. Which is about every 4 hours!!!) I average all three websites- although I think I am going to fully ignore weather.com because they say it's going to rain everyday we're in Orlando and I just don't want that!

Dec 6th Hi 69-72 low 48-50 cloudy and poss sprinkles
Dec 7th hi 71-77 low 52-58 mostly sunny & clear
Dec 8th hi 66-71 low 51-53 mostly cloudy (weather.com says full rain all day)
Dec 9th hi 66-72 low 53-56 one says sunny the other says sprinkles
Dec 10 hi 75 low 53 sunny/coudy
Dec 11 (nassau) Hi 79 low 68 SUNNY!! maybe a bit windy
Dec 12th Castaway Cay Hi 79 low 68 More Sun!
Dec 13th at sea hi 80 low 68 partly cloudy but mostly sun

I let you know if there are significant changes...

We're going Sat too (and I think Shari or Kristen is too) We are doing the 8:15 with dinner at LeCellier at 5:30 prior. I just hope it doesn't rain on us again-it did the last time we went in 2004.

explain to me why the warmest day is our day at sea?

I did it all online, printed out my contract, all i need are the tags also but i want them now.

I cannot remember anything else right now, i am upset at this whole job hunting thing, i keep getting offered the ones i do not want or that pay so little, and i am still waiting on the one i REALLY want, it is a drop in pay but i will be able to take ash to work with me every day over the summer! I will take the pay trade for that time with her.

Shawn, I have found that everything works itself out over time. Even situations where we thought we were experiencing the worst the world has to offer ends up being a blessing in the end. I try to find the gifts in everything, it is something a NICU nurse taught me when our son was born 13 weeks premature. He shouldn't have lived. There is no medical explaination for how he survived. It was the worst possible thing any mom could ever experience and it really felt that way at the time, but looking back I would not have changed any of it for the world.
I can find so many gifts in what we went through, we found out who we can lean on in tough times, we made great friends, we are much more aware of March of Dimes and the great things they do for little babies, we have a much deeper faith in God and DH and I are closer then we could have ever imagined. Not to mention my beautiful little boy who is absolutely perfect in everyway!
I would go through all the pain, heartache, sweat and tears all over again for any one of those things, but lucky me I got all of them (plus more)!
Hang in there, it will all work out. Even though the job you want is perfect, who knows, maybe one of the others could be too, but you haven't experienced it yet so you don't know. I don't know what faith you have, but if it were me I would pray and accept whatever God brings to me, regardless if it is what I wanted-maybe it's really what I needed?! I've learned there is a difference and God hasn't steered me wrong yet.

In the meantime-I'll keep you in my prayers-it would be great to have what yu want and need turn out to be the same thing!

I was wondering about the weather too, I don't want to be hot and stuck on a ship with 2 pools-I want to be hot when I'm sliding down that huge slide at Atlantis!
I want to be sitting in my lounge chair sipping frou frou drinks by the pool on my day at sea-not cramped with a thousand other people in too warm, dirty pool water!

Here's hoping the weather changes in our favor!

 

[SILLYANDI]

The baby is playing with a Jack Sparrow action figure and she keeps saying"Jack Sparrow CUUUTTTIIEE!!" Maybe she'll tell the "real" one on Castaway Cay (I'm too shy to do it myself!
Maybe next I'll teach her to give him a little pinch on the rear
