Just put all the Steelers gear on the pile for packing! Glad we're flying Southwest and there are no bag fees!

Centralontfamily,

Hi From down the way in Oakville! Yes, Monday night was cold, arrghhh! I can't wait until Feb 5th either. I think I am "an accidental Canadian" I prefer milder Winters, but do like the seasons.

Just think of that warm breeze washing over your face in Grand Cayman or Cozumel. Ahhhhhhh!

No Steeler gear to be found in Seattle. No time to order online. Had to have a friends mom in Pittsburg mail us shirts.

Thanks for the weather update! 68 beats what we're having here to say the least!

Hey everyone,

I can't believe the trip is coming up so fast! We're traveling from Ottawa to Syracuse on Tuesday, then fly to Orlando on Wednesday for a couple of days in the World. That's only 5 sleeps away!!! I still haven't made my FE, and haven't bought any gifts - yikes! I don't normally wait this long to get everything together - I would normally have everything bought and packed by now. Oh well, just have to push through it all this weekend, then I can take a break.

Anyway, I just realized that I never received the PM with room numbers. Can someone either re-try it, or send it to my e-mail address (sandi.moser@gmail.com)?

Thanks so much! My sister-in-law called from Grand Cayman and said it's been in the high 80s for the last few days. Of course she called right while we were trying to thaw out a couple of frozen pipes to our washing machine! Thank goodness we'll be there soon, or I would have been cursing her out

Anyway, thanks in advance for the room numbers!

Sandi

The weather in Orlando may not be +20, but a week being pampered and no housework is alright by me!!

cheers

I removed cougar242. I believe this is the current list. If somebody else could confirm that would be great.

This is the final FE list. We still need a cabin # for cougar242, which has been requested but not received yet.

List is all updated with some additional information on a Travelling Mickey Magnet I will be sending around.

Please see the link in my signature below!!

Cougar242 has not responded to any of my PM's, I have an extra magnet in case they respond at last minute but if no response by Sunday I will remove them from the list

cheers

Hmmm -6 in Winnipeg 10-15 cm of snow expected today. Near zero visibility right now.
BRING ON THE CRUISE!!!!!
T-8 days and counting all systems are go,,,( thought I would throw that in since the Shuttle launch is delayed until well after the cruise)

Steelers shirts arrived in the mail today. Now we have everything we need to pack.

That weather forecast just keeps getting better (for Key West at least!)

I am like the rest of you. Anything over 20 degrees make me happy!

The weather forecast in today's paper just said... COLD. Although I might be able to live with the cold if that darn sun would just come out. Ugh. Gotta love living under the elephant (perpetual gray skies) in Cleveland.

Just finished putting together the FE's so I can check that off of my list. The other family that we are traveling with has never been on a cruise before, so I was skyping with my friend yesterday as she is in a "slight" panic over the whole "what to pack" issue.

My kids are so excited that they can't hold still while they are talking about the trip. It's all jumping around and squealing while they describe what they are looking forward to the most. They have been dreaming about getting back onboard since we stepped off the ship last January! We leave for Orlando on Friday, so just 6 more sleeps for us!

 

[MoserFamily]

Thanks for the quick reply with the room numbers! We still have to buy the gifts, but we know what we're getting - we just need to get out there and get them.

The good news is that I finished making our fish extender! It took all of one hour, so that's definitely a relief to have off the list. While I would love to have more time to pretty it up, at least it's done and I can make "pretty-ing it up" the reason for another cruise.

I can't believe that we leave in 3 days, and we'll be on the cruise in one week!

Getting a bit worried here up north...weather reports are calling for another storm with a good amount of snowfall on Tuesday night into Wednesday. A bit concerned as DH is leaving for Florida tomorrow for work. We leave Thursday afternoon and am praying that all is calm by then. I have yet to learn how to use the snowblower (only girl with five brothers and then DH to do the snow removal)!!

Looking forward to Friday in MK and then SATURDAY!!! Here's hoping bad weather doesn't follow!

 

[Lake_Mary]

We are SO excited! Feels like we booked just yesterday... although it was only 3 weeks ago

My DD (4) talks about the Mickey Boat every day. We went to Magic Kingdom Saturday for the day and both my kids got their very first haircuts (DD 4 and DS 9 mos). DD was telling everyone who would listen that Mickey wasn't going to be at Magic Kingdom next week, because he was going to be on the cruise with us

My FE from etsy arrived this week, as well as my embroidered pillowcase for the kids to give the staff to have all the characters sign.

The weather in Central Florida has been warming up. We had a really cold night this week, but looks to be turning around!

We are hearing lots about the "groundhog day storm of 2011" too! Since we don't leave until Friday morning, I am only slightly worried, but we have definitely discussed the "what ifs". I think we would jump in the car and do our best to get out of Dodge any way we possibly could if flights got canceled...

I have all the clothes and other stuff set out in the bedroom so that I can keep walking by it to make sure I haven't forgotten anything crucial. It will all go into the packing cubes and them the suitcases on Thursday. Yea!

I am so ready to see blue skies!
