Probably the same ( well one of the same) things that is on my mind
It is cold here again too, quite the rain storms that passed through here last night.....
It'll be warm next weekend though

I dont know WHY I did my hair today
I just got back from the bank.. OMG I thought I was going to blow away!!! The sky got real dark as I was nearing the bank.. then it started to hail bigtime! I Step out of the car at the bank and WHOOOOSH! I almost fell in a puddle! I turn around and get ice whipping in my face! So I immediately turn around and am walking backwards IN THE PARKING LOT, and hoping to God that everyone is watching where they are going!! Now I'm home and the sun is shining!!! lol Gotta love New England!
Disney... Take me awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I watch Invasion!!! You are so right Sally!! LOL!!! Now if they were orange and glowing I would really freak out!! You guys are having our nasty weather that was here yesterday! Hail,snow,ice,wind...thunder,lightning...you name it we had it here yesterday!!I hope it moves out of there fast for you and that you dont get our cold temps!!

Some notes on our trip as this was our first cruise as well:
WE MISSED PALO-which really makes me sad, I've heard so much about it. My ds (10) was just not feeling well and I didn't feel it was right for me to send him to the clubs when I knew he was not feeling well and could possibly spread germs.
THE SHIP DOCTOR - was great. Even though i think he could have swabbed my sons throat (my son is prone to strep throat and I was sure this was part of his problem only the doc didn't believe so). He gave us some cough and cold meds (the whole visit cost $117 - YIKES, cost more thean the exotic rasual at Vista Spa ). My son basically lived on Ibuprofen the rest of the week. Took him to our pediatrician on Monday and sure enough - STREP THROAT! Now he has missed two more days of school than we originally planned so we have had a lot of make-up work to cover - almost finished with it now and he goes back to school TOMORROW!
THE SAIL AWAY - was awesome, kids and I loved the ships horn and I have had some really cool dreams and can hear it - it was such a "Magical" sound!
CASTAWAY CAY - AWESOME and awesome and awesome - what more can I say? We had great sunny weather, water was a little chilly. I would not reserve the Castaway Cay getaway package again, we did not even use the float rental or the bike rental - we really used our snorkeling equip though. My kids went crazy over the fish and it took us awhile but we did find the sunken mickey!
ROOM SERVICE - Order every morning, even if its just a snack to hold you over til breakfast. Oh heck order it at night too, we did!
TOPSIDERS - Awesome buffets but make sure you look at the middle buffet for some made to order items that are phenomenal.
DINNER SEATING - We had late, 8:15. I have to say that this was really hard for us. My kids are early riser no matter what time they go to bed. They were usually up by 7am, we would eat breakfast at around 8 or 8:30am and then lunch at around 12:30 or 1:00. Around 5:30, we would be ready for food again so we would get a snack by the pool. When it came time for dinner we were all exhausted and already full from our snack earlier. So dinner for us wasn't really much enjoyed. We LOVED our servers though, they managed to get my DS a grilled cheese most every night even though it was not on the menu.
CAST MEMBERS - Get to know them, they have interesting lives and stories to tell. They love to talk and have conversations with guests. Our server was Oliver from the Phillipines, that man was the hardest worker I have ever seen but he always made time to come over and have a some conversation with us, he did magic tricks and would help my daughter cut up her food. When it came time for dessert, we would ask for just one dessert to share and he would bring three for us to share. He was awesome and yes, We tipped him graciously for his wonderful service!
PACK LIGHTLY - I packed so many clothes, we had a whole suitcase of clothes that came home never even touched. The over the door hanger came in quite handy and so did our illuminated alarm clock.
PILLOWCASES - Make sure you take them and have characters sign them. Its a great souvineir and my kids were so surprised when they got them after we got home. It helped the magic last just a little longer.
BOOK WHILE ON THE SHIP - We went ahead and booked another cruise for January 07, it makes the depressing feeling of vacation on the Magic really being over and little easier to deal with. The thought that you will be returning makes it and teeny weeny bit easier to get off the ship.
DOLPHINS - we seen dolphins in port canaveral before we sailed. we were on port side and they were swimming right up to the ship and jumping and playing, there were at least 4. Watching them from our verandah was incredible. They also greeted us when we returned but they didn't hang around too long.

Jeff, thanks for the pictures, etc. Also the information from the earlier Magic Cruise.
Someone else asked about traveler's checks. I plan on getting some, and also bringing cash. According to the information provided in the Disney Book that we got from our travel agent, traveler's checks can be used to settle your room charges before debarkation.
We are having crazy weather here, but it isn't surprising for this time of year. Yesterday was 69 degrees. Tomorrow snow is in the forecast. It usually doesn't last too long, though. There are only about 5 times in 33 years of living here, that snow has lasted a week. Those are the exceptions.
If the weather isn't too bad tomorrow, I hope to get to a couple of stores to buy more things for the cruise.
Just a week to go before we board the ship. I can hardly wait. Leta

Ok now this isn't fair.. I'm reading so much on the other boards about everyone being sad at the end and having to leave that I'm getting depressed before even getting ON the ship!!! 
I WANNA HAVE FUN!! I WANNA GO SWIMMING!! 
I WANNA BE EXCITED!! Where's that chocolate bar.....?
