January 24, 2004 Cruisers - Are you out there???

[dancermom]

Jenn - I feel your pain. Sarah's school just called for me to pick her up because she threw up. My theory is everyone get sick now, and be ready for the 24th. I think we all just need to get out of this cold and get some fresh air. We have a below zero wind chill today, this is out of hand.

Scratch - were you able to control yourself? Or did you just go ahead and laugh in your bosses face?????


Karen - I like the idea of the drink jar, I'll have to try that. I can't believe that in just a few weeks we will be by the pool sipping drinks.

Here is some pixie dust for everyone that is sick.
Everyone here had the flu before Christmas. Only 2 more weeks.

Scratch - I would haved laughed at my boss if he asked me to post pone.
DD-Makenna asked if we can start packing this weekend.

********************PIXIE DUST*********************

but like stated, better to be sick now then on the cruise! Been there, done that, don't want to ever do it again!

One good thing about this cold spell here, hopefully it will kill off all the nasty germs!

It's was -41 deg C this morning! The inside of my nose froze! At least the sun is shining!

Drink Fund! I like that idea!

Before I leave here I'm placing a big sign on my desk,

'GONE FISHING!' And if we win the lottery, I'll be adding
NOT COMING BACK!

Oh Scratch your so funny

'GONE FISHING!' And if we win the lottery, I'll be adding
NOT COMING BACK!

2 weeks today (Friday) we will be at MCO and later on that evening will be at AKL with Scratch and her DD

 

[TiggerPU88]

Two weeks from this very moment, we will be en route to the airport. When we get to MCO, we will rent a car from Avis ($26!!!) and dive to the Courtyard at Cocoa Beach, where we will pay nada, as we are using Marriott points.

Then, two weeks from tomorrow morning, we'll go shopping, return the car and GO TO THE PORT!!!!

WAHOO!!

-- Adrienne : )

P.S. We are in Stateroom 7120.

I finally started packing or laying out DDs' clothes maybe we will only have 3 suitcases if I can control the need for shoes. DDs' got dress for formal night now Hilary just needs shoes. I think for me and the girls dinner attire will be mostly sundress and skirts we have late seating so more grown ups. I was going to borrow a dress for formal night, I really never wear formal stuff, but my Mom talked me into "treating" myself to a nice dress so DH said we would go out tomorrow and find one- what a guy.

DisneyLover5 I'm just off Sunrise Valley just around the corner from most of the Oracle buildings coffee would be fun.

We are also now at the Hyatt we get in around 6pm and then we are taking the DCL bus to the port planning to take the first one so we can get there and be near the front of the line.

Scratch42 are you still laughing at your boss? My boss has blocked it from her mind - she is jealous- and tried to enroll us in an HR class the 29th!!! I reminded her she was welcome to go but I will "otherwise engaged" My goal this time is not to keep some important keys in my purse and take them with me only to get a call and asking me to FedEx them back to office so they can open the storage room

 

[Scratch42]

FINALLY!



My boss now just says, "Stop Laughing and get back to work!"LOL

Keep those replies coming!

Scratch and Disneylover - Where did you get information about fishing at CC? I mentioned it to DH and he wants to do it. I can't find it on DCL's site, though.

Thanks!

I booked all of our Excursions today and we got everything we asked for.
St. Maarten - all 10 of us are doing Golden Eagle Catamaran 1pm

St John/St Thomas - DH, DS14, DS14 are golfing at Mahogany Run (someone can still make a foursome)

St John/St Thomas - 3 adults, DS15, DD10, DD7, DS7 are doing 5 star St John Snorkle Beach adventure.

Castaway Cay - Me, DS15, DS14, DS14 Castaway Cay Bottom Fishing. This was in mailing that came from Disney and I read about it on the boards (search for fishing). It sounds wonderful Trident Queen....if you call Disney ask for C-02. It is 3 - 3.5 hours Ages 6 and over. It is $110. They provide the tackle and bait...
Sounds fun... I would not be going but they required one of our adults to go with the teenagers....so I was elected.

[Scratch42]

you should have received something about excursions from your TA, unless you have a TA like mine, then forget about it!LOL

I read about here on the boards! "The Guy with the Fish" raved about it. DD likes to fish and I've always wanted to try deep sea fishing. I emailed DCL Guest Services and booked thru them.

If Lisa booked today, then that means that there are only two spaces available. We go at 9:15 a.m. and then still have the afternoon to enjoy the beach.

This time in two weeks we will be heading for formal night!

[disneylover5]

I just returned my "formal" dress to Talbot's...back to square one.

I have shopped all day and I need to go to bed! I am exhausted. We have a little house at the shore (3 hours away) and both DH and I think our bathing suits are there...great planning. I was able to get a suit today and may get a second.....no one had men's bathing suits at the mall ... I went to two different very large shopping centers.

DS14 tried on his summer clothes (under great protest) and nothing fits except his new suit (he had a date for homecoming). "Go to the Mall with me" I said...."I would sooner die" he said. He has no shorts, no bathing suit, no Khakis, I think he had gained 30 pounds in 3 months...I can not believe how fast boys grow....I think he is over 6 feet tall.

Oh well, DD10 and DD7 will look really cute. Such is life

 

[Scratch42]

Luckily DD is all set but I'm still not happy with my selection for Formal Night! I just keep saying, one more shop! I found a beautiful gown but when the salesclerk brought it to me she told me it was one size but it turned out 2 sizes smaller! Boy was I disappointed! And of course it was the last one!

We still have a few more days! Good Luck!

Got a taste of Disney last night at Disney on Ice, Toy Story 2. All we kept saying was that we would be with Mickey somewhere warm in two weeks.

Thank goodness, Sarah and my formal dresses are at the taylor, for alterations, Gracie's was delivered and fits, and we now all have shoes to go with them. Of course, Sarah doesn't fit in anything from the summer and the only store near us with summer clothes out was Limited Too, so I left half my paycheck there to outfit her. Luckily Gracie doesn't grow, so she still fits in everything. She has packed 5 bathing suits, so I don't think she needs anything else anyway. I should be fine if I pack that and her pajama's.

The only thing I can't find anywhere here is zinc oxide for my nose. We can always stop on our way to the port, I'm sure someone in Florida will carry it.

We are on our 7th day of sub zero temperatures, with snow expected for tomorrow. God sure knows how to get us ready for the tropics.

[Scratch42]

Embarassing DD - She especially "Loved" when I went wearing my Mickey Santa Hat!LOL And then I tried to get on the local news while we were there!
