Karen(Been2marceline) who was going to be cruising with us but sadly had to cancel has asked me to port info about ordering wine.

If you would like to order winde from her online business to be delivered to your pre cruise hotel, and I hope you do, you need to order by this Thursday to reach Florida by the 9th May.

Her website is Winemiles.com.

She is sending our Champagne too.

Hi Guys, I'm off to the airport this morning about to pack the computer. Got everything done and the house is actually clean enough for all the housesitters and cat sitters who will be here. Bags are in the car... so I'm unplugging the computer. Am going to try to find the Disney Channel games while I"m there. I'll call Anna (CACruisin) and she can post for me until I have internet on Sunday (for free.) See everyone soon, travel safe Angie and Dennis.

Safe travels Kelly! I'm happy to be your surrogate here .

We are on the Eastbound -any idea where we can order wine in the same way please.

From the same place Brenda. Karen's shop is actually in California. She can no longer send it to the ship (at least not in Florida, I assume it's the same for the California port), so you would have to send it to your hotel (if you are staying somewhere the night before) and carry it on.

[Skallywag]

Thank you so much for your advice - will make contact and see if we can do the same. Was going to pick up some champagne at Gatwick but it will certainly save us carrying it on the plane if we can do that.

For today's song, here's some "packing" advice

Good job Anna! Iwe made it and we have internet. It was as smooth as it could be! Zoe got to sit next to Megan, the interviewer on Disney 365 (disney channel) She interviews the celebs. It was hilarious, she talked her ear off and made her watch the backyardagains with her. The weather is fantastic, not hot or humid. And we got an outstanding room location. We played shuffle board and traded pins tonight - it was actually too cold to swim!!! Today was Zoe's first time being responsible for her own carry on... so she rolled it all the way through LAX and down the aisle of the plane and then through MCO. I was shocked.... and pleasantly surprised.

Zoe doesn't know it yet, but we are going to try to get into the Disney Channel games tomorrow!

A note on flying - Delta was charging $3 per bag at LAX. One of bags was searched and it was the one that was the least suspicious with only clothes. Good thing I had packed everything in vacuum bags so they didn't touch anything, but it was all rearranged. Creeeeeeepy. We brought empty water bottles and filled them up at the airport after security.

OK guys, goodnight.

Kelly-do those vacuum bags really work? I was looking at them at Target and went back and forth, couldn't decide to buy them or not...so I didn't. Are you clothes wrinkled when you unseal the bag?

Good morning everyone, Kelly hope you have a great time on your run. I was off line for a few days as I hit a chunk of metal on the highway and blew a tire on the pick up. Ended up having to replace all four tires. Not what I really wanted to do just prior to a great trip! I think I have my list ready and will do last laundry on the 8th with a pack on the day of the 9th before we leave at 7:15pm for LAX. I hope to do everything in 3 checked bags and 2 roll ons for the guys and I. Ok, off to bed I go again. See everyone very soon.

The big z-lock bags work just as good and cheaper!

I agree I have both and the big Z lock bags are just as good, just press all the air out of them and it's the same product. I like some of my vacuum bags better than others. The name brand ones worked best, cheap versions didn't work as well. Yes, your clothes are wrinkled, but not more than any other packing/travel. I iron before I leave then go over em before wearing them again. But for underwear, pjs socks they are great!

Goodmorning all, here is my song of the day direct from WDW:

Hi Kelly, I just love it when Kenzie surprises us too when traveling! They are turning into such big girls! What is the $3 charge you were talking about? Is it for all your bags checked and carryon, or just checked?

Guess what, it SNOWED here again yesterday. Not a lot but there is a little outside, more in th shady side than the sunny side of the yard. Y'all have no idea how I am looking forward to warm weather..... See what happens when I take off the flannel sheets..

Hey guys, just got back from the disney channel games. Didn't see much but lots of screaming girls and most of the cast. Zoe really liked seeing Sabrina from Cheetah girls and Joe from Jonas bros. Off to the pool.

$3 per bag checked in luggage only.
