Thanks for the well wishes, everyone. Feeling super today the extra bit of sleep the past two mornings since we havent had school definitely helped! I am really lucky to have an awesome boss who isnt a time stickler, as long as we are there and the work gets done hes cool. Plus, Ive been there after everyone else has left and worked from home and on Saturdays lots of times before, so I have a couple get out of jail free cards Im holding on to. It looks like Ill get to sleep in a little tomorrow too because it is now sleeting here in Damascus.
Sue Say honey, whered' ya' get' that big hickie, she sure had a big set of lips... I do know as was mentioned, I gotta send a post card from HELL...That way I too can say I've been to Hell and back.
Hysterical! Good thing I wasnt drinking anything when I came to that one!
I am now seriously considering a side trip to Hell, just for the postcard. But Im worried it might be too far away. Does anyone know about how long the trip is from the dock to Hell and if its easy to get to? Hmmm.
Anywhere else that question would have all kinds of unintended ramifications, but my VV buddies know what I mean.
Marie I dont think I can handle a drink of that nature before 10 am
! From the info on the
DCL site, it looks like we can leave whenever we want after the dolphin part (we get taxi vouchers) but we have to check out first. I guess theyll explain that procedure to us when we get there?
I was thinking of leaving the park around three, unless my mom has lobsterized before then, getting back to the dock around 3:30 or so, heading up to Margaritaville and doing the souvenir thing, and depending on what time it is then and whether pirate night is actually that night, maybe enjoying a beverage or two. You are more than welcome to join us if you like, maybe well run into each other at Chankanaab or we can set up a meeting place before, although I have no idea what to expect at the park, so I dont know if that would work. Im sure well see each other before then though so we can work out the details.
I imagine you could take a cab from the Radisson to the port, and youd probably have a better chance of getting there when you want. I was told to schedule the shuttle pretty early because the space fills up. When I called around Christmas the only time slot they had available for the handicapped shuttle was noon. I dont know if other slots are still available since we had to specifically request the hc shuttle, but I would definitely call and ask since the shuttles free with the cruise stay package I got the phone number off the website, whatever the main number for the hotel is works to arrange the shuttle.
I have the whole beauty package scheduled for Sunday, although I dont really enjoy all the pampering as much as I should. Im so relaxed and hypnotized by the language that the ladies speak that I always seem to doze off during manicures which can get pretty messy if I have a sleep jump! Im terribly ticklish so pedicures are borderline tortuous. And of course, ripping facial hair out by the roots is never fun. But its all necessary I suppose. Ive thought about trying to sneak in a couple of tanning sessions too, but it depends on what the weather does in the next few days. I should be able to hop in before my spa stuff on Sunday just to get some color in my face at least. Im not even going to attempt to contemplate a bikini wax wow Michelle you are a brave soul!
The thing to remember about Facebook is, once youve looked at everyones pictures, you really just have to check in once or twice a day to get the updates and status changes and check out any new pictures, which should all pop up on your wall. After the first few days its not an all consuming activity like the DIS can be! Oh, just in case anyone has seen or comes across my cousins current profile pic shes getting her belly button pierced it looks like something very different if you just glance at it!
And Ill apologize in advance for any language my younger friends may use. Dont get me wrong, I have quite a few adult vocabulary words in my repertoire, but these kids today (ha) can be quite um, colorful.
Anyways, what really eats up a lot of time is searching for people you used to know to see if they have a page be careful with that one!
I really should also be finishing up my packing and finalizing my to-do lists for this weekend. But its so much fun when we all procrastinate together!
I will do something productive tomorrow, I will.
Dee: You crack me up! I feel the same way about FB. I've only had mine for about a month and now I can't keep up with it either. I feel your pain.
I'm so confused now, with peoples real names, screen names, so many Michelles, and now photos! I'm trying to keep up, but I gotta tell ya...I'm still for nametags! This comes from a person (me) who can't even get her own kids names right! Just ask them.
I sure can't wait to meet you all and put real names to real faces.
So, I'm tanning now, been for about a month on and off. Noone can tell, except me, cuz the only part of me that's actually tan is my BUM! Which, BTW, nobody will actually see on the cruise. EGADS!
What's up with that?
Your whole post made me laugh! I completely agree about the name tags. I'm having trouble keeping up with who's who too. And at least you'll know your bum is tan, that's what's important!
Oops, it's past my bedtime again. Happy packing, laundrying, FE making, and everything else that we all have to get done sometime in the next 11 days or less! Good night everyone!
ones in the group. LOL 
and get something done!!!!!
DH has been really cool about the need to haul stuff on plane. I think its because I am not in my usual post xmas doldrums. 11 days until I fly AWAY! 
!
and trying to find my zen for the day. I slept hard last night and it's always harder to wake up after that kind of sleep. Yawn....
thing and get something done. Or maybe I'll join the "I'll do it tomorrow" club.
