Jan 3, 2004 Magic Cruise

[cjsmith]

Thanks Jeanny. I found a one way rental with Budget and they have a place that's 0.3 miles from the Radisson, so we're all set. Now, I just have to deal with the 3 kids in the car alone for the 4 plus hours!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

 

[LVTravel]

I can't believe it's almost here

The ship sails in just 3 days and 5 hours.

Amy If you get this before goingo to Fla., have a safe and fun trip for you and your travelling companions. (even if you don't get this have the same)

Carolyn I know everything will work out for you and your DH. Work can be so frustrating at times and the demands can be ridiculous. Don't they know that he's going on a Disney Cruise?

Happy New Year Everyone!

Thanks LVTravel! I know, you would think that my husband's company would realize that the Disney Cruise is more important than anything else, but no, they expect him to actually work on his work day!!! He really doesn't have Friday off and this is a prospect meeting for a new client and that's what pays for our Disney cruises, so I guess I'll have to let him go!

I just checked the local weather and the weather for our ports. Saturday looks to be around 74 with sun and clouds for our sailaway with a low in the 60's. Sunday is Key West should be sun and clouds and a high of 76. Grand Cayman looks wonderful with sun & clouds, (noticing a theme here!) and a high of 85 with a chance of rain in Cozumel and a high of 83 there. Of course, things could change, but it still sounds great. Hopefully we won't have the rain in Mexico.

Just reserved 2 parasailing spots for me & Jacqui.. she thinks her Mom is a chicken!!! I'll show her!!! we have an 11:30 boat. yea!

Hey Carolyn, the weather sounds absolutley gorgeous!!! It's 43 up here right now... it's a heat wave for us!! I'll check tomorrow and see what the weathermen have in store for our takeoff on Friday afternoon!

See you Saturday!

Happy New Year everyone!

 

[LVTravel]

Jeanny I was so afraid that you wouldn't be able to make a reservation for the Parasailing. Glad it worked out for you. Can't believe that the DCL email kept getting bounced back. (I have one computer that I can't bring up the Disney.com web site but if I type in a specific URL it works OK. Go figure!). Computers sure are fickle.

We're almost done packing completely. Our flight leaves at 7am so this will probably be my last post for awhile. I'll see you there.

It has been a rough 24 hours because Annette thought that I had forgotten to plan a birthday party for her. (she's a Jan 1 baby) I drove her all the way to Tulsa from Oklahoma City to do what she thought was a program but when all her friends jumped out of a room and yelled "Happy Birthday" she was really surprised. I did good!

 

[Jeanny]

Happy Birthday Annette... both of you~ Have a good trip and we'll see you Saturday (sometime in line Hopefully!)

 

[LVTravel]

Had to do it one more time -

Happy New Year

and May All Your Wishes In The New Year Come True

Special Happy Birthday, Annette

 

[brack]

Happy New Year See you there. We are off to the airport in about 30 minutes. Travel safe.

[princessdaisy]

Have a safe trip all!! I still have to finish packing today My little one came down with a cold on Tuesday..panick!! I was able to use Zicam swaps on him and he seems to be doing much better today. We have a 6 hour flight tomorrow with hour half layover and I hope his little ears will be okay.

Send me some pixie dust!!

LV: See you at Embassy Suites! I will be the tired looking mom with kid attached to her hip

 

[LVTravel]

Stephanie Looking forward to meeting you and your family. I'll bet you will be tired. It is a looonnnnngg flight from the west coast. I believe you said that you would be in about 10 PM. Remember to call my room from the front desk. I'll leave word there that it is OK to call when you check in. If Meghan is still up, maybe she and Nicole can get together for a short time while you are getting settled (gets one out of the way for a short period of time).

Sending Pixie Dust To All Our Fellow Travelers

Since it's the last time that I'll be on before the cruise, I just wanted to wish everyone a safe trip to the port. I'll see you all Saturday!

 

[LVTravel]

To All Who Are Travelling With Us.

We do wish you a safe and enjoyable trip to the port and speedy check-in lines.

I won't be back on the board until after we check-in at the ship (unless I get online at the hotel tomorrow afternoon).

I have the Cruise Information List printed. If you see me at the cruise check-in and want a copy, just ask. Otherwise I will have them at the sailaway party on Deck 10, aft of the pool area or at the DIS meet on Deck 10 on Monday at 1:30 PM.

Best to all!

Ok, so the My Family Travel Curse continues!!!

Just read there was an earthquake in Mexico City... ok, so I know Mexico City and Cozumel are not right next to each other,,,,, but,,,, I am following in my brothers' footsteps... usually sometime happens AFTER he vacations somewhere...

THIS time it's happening BEFORE.... oh well... and to boot, some drunk jerk was arrested last night at PVD (T F Green) where we're flying out of tomorrow for a threat!!!! Great,, they didn't close the airport (this time).. just my luck... at least it's not going to snow tomorrow!!! YEA.

I'll check back tomorrow before I leave...
Carolyn, & LV~ see you Saturday!! have a safe journey.

 

[Jeanny]

Ok, so the travel curse continues~
OF COURSE IT'S SNOWING TODAY!!! That's because I made plans to leave today!! 1-3" hopefully, the roads won't be too bad... I did see the sander out already. OH, MAN!!!

We're all packed,,, and ready to go,,, well almost. I need to stop at the bank and change my change into $$ and stop at Target or Wal-Mart and get some headphones for my CD player... of course, I can't find my extra set.

Took the kitty to the vets this morning, so she's all set... I took the doggy, Tucker, on Monday, so he's all groomed and ready to go to the next door neighbors for his weeklong play group!

see everyone tomorrow...

Verandah Man Thanks for the pics.

Well the Sullivan family, 4 generation trip was a success. We all got home safely at 11:30 PM after a stressful day of exploring, travelling, eating airport and other non-Disney food (will my stomach ever recover?).

Don't remember now who advised to go the AK lodge for the break between getting off the ship and going to the airport but, Thank you. Was an experience I was glad I had. Whole family enjoyed it.

The DIS meet was a little disappointing though. Many of the ones on this thread didn't show up. Boo Hoo. Guess we will never get to meet them.

Brack (well Annette) did take the picture of those that responded to the call for an appearance and I'm sure that he will post it to this thread when he gets back from the extended stay. (Just think, he has another 6 nights of the Magic.)

Best to all and I hope all got back safely!
