Diez (10) Noches Calientes en la Riviera Mexicana/17 de abril 2011 (4.17.11 Wonder!)

[my2mickeykids]

I am happy to say that we are 90% packed...just have those minor things (like the toothbrushes and such that can't be packed yet) left to go! And, it looks like 1 carry on suitcase for each with a garment bag for some of the extras

I am impressed!!! I was trying to pack light and ended up with 3 suitcases (not cary on size) and a garmet bag. You go!!

Ok, I'm a dork I can't find the link??

Paty, I will PM you with the link again.

Does anyone else need the FE link?

Okay, so I emailed Tesoro resort in Manzanillo today about their day passes for the 22nd. They have high occupancy and will not be selling them. Bummer! I was really hoping to go there. So I guess I will start emailing all the resorts and see what is open.

Not sure what else to do.

 

[lizac]

I sent you a PM... Yeah.. I figured that out as well as how to retrieve them... As you can see I am so not system Savvy!!!

I have SO FAR to go to get ready. I am currently about 90% panicked -- is that the same thing?

After waiting MONTHS for this cruise to arrive, how did I suddenly end up feeling like I don't have enough time to get everything done???

I feel exactly the same way!! I thought I was so prepared and am now feeling like I have a million things to do... and oh yeah I am out of town the next 3 days for work!!

I know I feel the same. Now that it down to the wire I can't make up my mind and there are soooooo many things to do. Why did I wait till now.... I do have about 1/2 of my things packed but need to wait until my husband gets his ready so I can finish and he is dragging his feet. I probably won't get his until Friday night, Yikes.......we drive down Saturday morning.

Gotcha back!
I am also bringing some blank CD's in case we can get a few of us on one package at the Dolphin Swim. Don't forget we CAN NOT wear any sunscreen in with the dolphins, at all, or regular sunscreen if you go snorkeling/diving. We just wear a t-shirt/rash guard to keep from burning. OH YEAH...2 weeks from today is our dolphin swim!!

Thanks for reminder! Do you know if there are lockers at the dolphin center? I thought I read to bring credit card or cash for photos but where do they want us to keep it while in the water?

I don't think we will be doing anything either, didn't book in time.

As you can see I am so not system Savvy!!!

I STILL can not figure anything out.

Yes we have had lockers at the other places. If not we can see if Danny will watch your stuff when we're there. He is going as an observer only. I just wish I could take my underwater camera in with us.

My feelings exactly.

I knew I should have found our fish extender, made door decorations, etc. months ago... but no, I'm doing it tonight instead.

Plus I swear the whole fam decided they need every single article of clothing they own washed so they have a full wardrobe to choose from for packing. Of course that means they're all sitting around waiting for me to finish laundry, so the actual packing hasn't begun yet. Ack!!

If I could just cancel the multitude of other commitments already on the calendar for this week I might be OK. Darn life getting in the way of vacay preparation anyway!

Really disappointing about Tesoro. I was afraid that would be the case though. I still have no idea what we're going to do that day either.

Sheila, we can talk about it onboard. But I think we might just go to Playa Audiencia, the beach where Tesoro is at, and hang out there for a few hours. I have read there are restaurants that will let you use their umbrella's and chairs if you buy food/drink from them. I am worried it is going to be incredibly crowded though.

Well look at you! We are about 75% packed but ummm, well the only carry-on will be the one with the booze (and swimsuits crammed in the side pocket). We have 3, ahem, suitcases. But to my defense we are driving to the port so I'm bringing the world with us, HA! If I were concerned with bag weight for air travel it would have been a whole different story. Honestly...no really, I mean it. Ahhh come on you guys, now don't be laughing at me....

Bummer! Oh well, I'm not going to stress over it. Maybe they'll have some suggestions at the excursion desk when we get on board?

I'm with you! Work has intensified this week rather than mellowing out and I'm so stressed with getting it all done. I have about another 25% to go on my packing and at the end of the day I'm just exhausted. Oh well, it'll get done!

I feel exactly the same way!! I thought I was so prepared and am now feeling like I have a million things to do... and oh yeah I am out of town the next 3 days for work!!

Yes, I too feel a tad unprepared. Target is getting regular visits from me for minor things, like Sunscreen...how do you almost forget sunscreen??! Brother, just get me to San Pedro stat!

Can y'all tell my husband that 5 suitcases (4 of them carry-on size) is really good packing for a 10 day cruise?! he still thinks we overpacked I am just saying....you might see us in the same outfits once or twice And, Lisa....I have you to bring some extra stuff for me (like the booze) remember!!!!

Bummer! Oh well, I'm not going to stress over it. Maybe they'll have some suggestions at the excursion desk when we get on board?
!

Well, we have always made the best of days in any port without excursions, and I am hoping this will be the same. Found Hector's business card....shall I call him and see if he wants to meet us there!!!! (Hector was a fantastic taxi driver we used in Acup. on the PC cruise in 08) Most other friends didn't enjoy the port because of the excursions but we all had a blast having a private tour from Hector the Protector...he was an extra in a Rambo movie.
