December 10, 2009 3 Night Bahamian Cruise

[minie_meese]

We're Syracuse fans in our house.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We head back to Rochester from New York City in the morning. Saw Mary Poppins on Broadway this weekend. It was great. Got us in the mood for our trip.

See you all in a week and a half.

I suggest getting a massage!! I did today and I feel so much better! Very relaxed now! It was a nice break from all the crazy trip planning.

December is right around the corner!!

What team do you follow? I'm not much for basketball, just curious.

I'm a fan of the Nets on the cruise you will prob see me ins something Nets or Yankees

awesome weather forcast!! I'm so excited and ready for this trip that we have been planning for over 500 days!!

I can't believe we are SOO close when we started counting down back in June of 2008....it's crazy!

we got our tree yesterday and it's HUGE. Took DH and I a long time to put the lights on and then we will decorate today when the kids get home and I get back from the gym (they were both sleeping at a friends' house last night).

I feel so scattered with packing. I got the kids' clothes out and in piles, but will need to weed out a LOT from DD's pile. Next is mine and then all the other "stuff" (cameras, passports, sunscreen, all the extra stuff). I usually have a list long before now, but for some reason, not this time!

I have so much to do today that it's making me very un-productive. I'm supposed to be changing the beds now, and I'm here posting. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.

Bahamas weather looks good for the cruise...the WDW forecast low to mid 70s with showers on Monday morning and then cooler on the 10th with rain when we drive to port and Cape Canaveral says the same. Hope that doesn't mean anything bad for the sail away party!

BTW - I am choosing to go with Accuweater.com's forecast as the one on weather.com has more rain predicted.

Oh yeah, I am getting a pedi on Wednesday, maybe I'll ask if they can do a Mickey head. If not, I'll just enjoy the relaxing pedi. I agree, manis NEVER last long at all...

Okay, off to be productive before I head to the gym...

See you there, I'll prob be wearing something that says Yankees or Nets, so it will be easy to spot me. I'll prob be wearing something that says Yankees if the Nets don't win by then. November was a real crappy month to them and to Net fans, December has to be so much better starting Wednesday hopefully. Pray for them everyone

I dont' think i'll be able to make the meet.....we have to meet the wedding coordinator at 3pm....we'll see how long it takes!

I am sooooo ready to go!!

Be glad you're not a Timberwolves fan. I do believe they have won ONE game so far this year.
I will probably be wearing my red t-shirt with this on it:

G Force
Surrogates
Toy Story 1 and 2
Christmas Carol
Old Dogs
Princess and the Frog (premiers Dec. 11)

Um, Nets have won zero games and are tied with two teams for the worse start of nba history with 0-17 and Nets fired the coach last night and if they lose Wednesday they will be the only team to have lost 18 to start the season, hopefully they win I'll be going to that game. Timberwolves are alright, I think they are the team with that one good rookie, I always forgget who is on that team.

and cool shirt

You win. Your team is worse
Me too. I don't know any of the players anymore since we lost Kevin Garnett. Like I said, I really don't follow NBA. I'm a hockey and baseball girl.
Thanks - we made them for our Feb 09 cruise. Thankfully we didn't put a specific date (and they still fit).

yeah I win, that's one more then the Nets, all you can do as a fan is laugh and Timberwolves won last night so they are 2 and however many they lost, so much better then Nets. I should follow hockey more NJ Devils always seem to be a great team for as long as I can remember

 

[accola]

Go MN Wild! I haven't had much time to follow the pros this year, I've been too busy taking the kids to hockey practice. One more week and grandpa will be tying skates!

 

[DLW8]

well, I've been awake since 3 adn decided to get up at 4. I'm going through my list and the stuff I've put aside (HABA stuff, wipes, highlighters, etc) to see if I need to get anything else this week.

I think i just need to get packed so I can stop stressing and get some SLEEP!

So far, it looks like this this will be a quiet week at work for me (knock on wood), so I am doing clean up of my projects, desk and files. I hate leaving a lot of stuff for my team to cover while I'm away.

I am going to call the Poly today to confirm the address to ship my box of FE gifts and then ship it tomorrow when I am working at home. Tomorrow is a busy day - pedicure at 10:15 along with conferences for DD and DS during the day. My plan is to REALLY get organized tomorrow so I feel more at ease.

Weather is still looking nice for the entire trip for us....let's hope it stays that way!

 

[DMMarla07860]

So, what time is everyone trying to get to port the day we get on the ship. I plan on trying to get there by 10:00am and my dad will drop me off then go drop off the rental car and meet me at the port

 

[29apr00]

i have 5 HUGE boxes sitting behind me at work today ready to be shipped down to Disney!! WOOO HHOOOOO!!!

We'll be getting there about 1015am...hopefully!

I discovered last night while packing that my FE is built more for LOOKS as opposed to actual storage of FE gifts.... it may be better for everyone involved if we just try and place the FE gifts GENTLY in the extender...or maybe just next to the door.

 

[disneyfreak1]

I plan to get there by 10:00 at the latest.

 

[DLW8]

I think we will be there closer to 11, I can't remember off the top of my head what time we are being picked up at the Poly., it's either at 9 or 10 for the pickup...that's all at home. )

Need to enter all my reservation #s and info into my phone so I don't have a million pieces of paper!

Just confirmed the address for the Poly so I can ship my box tomorrow...I laminated my magnets this morning, so I'm making progress!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I've not been able to sleep well all week - waking up at 5. I'm too excited to sleep! We're mostly packed now, we are leaving Thursday after work. YIKES!

We probably will get to port around 11 or later. We have breakfast at Ohana at 9:10, and I'm sure that will take an hour. I'll have a blue backpack with my LGMH on it! It says MnDisneygirl.

I will promise to be gentle with the FEs. I have all the gifts in a small plastic bag, so if it doesn't fit, I'll set it either up in the fish, or nearby. And just FYI - I've labeled them so it goes to the right cabin and says it is from us. So if you don't get one, someone stole it.

I put all my res. #s and ADRs and all that inportant info in my phone too! I like having it so handy and then I won't have to carry a lot of paper around with me.
