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

[TheGlensideGregorys]

Here in PA. BUT it's SINGLE DIGIT DAY!!

Still a lot left to do, but I'll be in the air next Friday thinking I forgot something!!

Karen, Thanks for the movie info. Is that for the theater, or for the in-room movies, or both?

To all of those finding it hard to concentrate at work, or have a ton of things to still do - you're not a lone. I'm posting at work (Shhhh!) and we still have piles and lists all over the place at home. You're not alone!

 

[Scratch42]

Now maybe I can get some work done!LOL

For anyone that is doing the Dolphin excursion in Anguilla - I asked if they had any lockers so when you are swimming, you could lock up your valuables. The answer is yes and if they run out of lockers, they said that you could check your stuff in with the front office clerk there.

Just an FYI.


Dang - it's cold!!!!!!

 

[QueenTrident]

I went to weather.com too. Looks like, for now (knock on wood), we'll be okay to take off on Friday! Yahoo! I'm hoping for a lot of snow tonight/tomorrow so I can stay home tomorrow and pack!

The movies looks good. Although I know Finding Nemo by heart, DD will love to see it in a theatre. I also want to see Pirates, Brother Bear and Calendar Girls.

I can't wait! I can't do anything at work - I just troll the boards, looking for info, tips, hint that I may have missed in past few months.

I wonder if the new movie - "Teachers Pet" will be the one they show one night as the show in the Walt Disney Theatre. On our last two cruises they had a move as the show for one night. I hope so, because we don't have time to see it in the theatre this weekend.

 

[Scratch42]

We have been keeping away from theatres just in case! Don't want to get sick unnecessarily!LOL

Thanks about the info regarding the lockers.

Well we are getting more and more snow! What should have been a 30 min drive tops, took me almost 2 hours! YUCK!

Well one more tax report to do and then I can concentrate on getting the new files all set up! I always like to leave the mindless jobs for last! That way I can concentrate on the cruise!

And with this weather can't get out to look for a dress! Let's hope the weekend cooperates!

TTFN

I cannot believe we are here at the single digit dance! Amazing -- it seemed so far away and now it's almost here!

I am really busy at work this week -- we have a major weekend this weekend. And my whole family has been sick. We all have bad colds and it turned into an ear infection for DS and a sinus infection for me. DH has stayed with the cold. My Mom is fine, thank heavens! DS & I are both on antibiotics, so we should be fine. No vomiting, tho, which is good!!!

I think I might have my dress for formal night. My Mom is just wearing a suit. Most of my old dresses don't really fit, but I haven't found anything online that really struck me as beautiful and I don't have time to go shopping... I might do a few more searches, though.

I still cannot believe we are almost there! It's snowing here in NJ and brutally cold. I am ready for high 70s....

It seems Verandah Man is running low on postcards.

Therefore, with our large group, I think we could come to the rescue!

Don't forget to ask your Room Steward for Extra Postcards!

And, Yeah, It's Still Snowing! YUCK!

At this point and time I would be happy with 60 Degrees!

[Scratch42]

I feel for you, nothing like paying extra and then finding out it's absolutely useless!

Nothing like the salesgirl looking at me last night when I stopped in to look for a dress! She thought I was absolutely !

Ok, we got like 4" of snow, it's a balmy -20 and now I'm worried 'cause the snow plows our outside! They don't do my neighborhood unless it's bad outside! What happened to Global Warming!

"Magic" come take me away!

Stay Healthy and Warm!

[BuzzBoyMom]

Scratch - we must be thinking alike. I already told Andy that I'd bring home as many post cards as I can. But we might want to check with him if he wants them all or if another postcard fairy might want some sent to him/her.

Marimard - All I can say is sorry and I think you deserve an extra Konk Kooler for your hassles. Here is some extra pixie dust for your shopping efforts!

The roads were quite slick getting into the office today but I'm already getting calls from our office in the Pentagon...don't they know that my mind is on vacation mode??? I can't answer their silly questions! Geesh!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm.

Pixie dust ********************************

VerandahMan sent my two girls a postcard with a very nice message on it. I told him that I would get postcards on our trip and pass along the "Magic" to other fellow Diser's.

This trip can't come too soon.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Okay, it is supposed to get to -15 degrees tonight. Does anyone think I can go down to Florida early, sneak aboard and I'll even help clean the rooms!!!! just get me out of here. I told DH that if I'm stuck in the house, I'm sure I'll spend it finding creative ways to pack as much clothes as I possibly can!!

 

[David Larson]

Hello-

I want to apoligize for ignoring people who have e-mailed or sent messages to me. This is the first time I have looked at the board in over a month. I guess I've been too busy w/ work and the family lately.

I'm going to try to read all the posts tonight- I hope everyone stays heathy, 8 more days until takeoff.

Dave

PS. My wife thinks I'm too excited about the cruise-I'll just have her read some the posts.

 

[minniesota]

No problem Dave! I figured maybe your car was towed during our last snow and it just took you this long to get it out of impound! Actually, what a wimpy winter this has been. Poor folks on the east coast can't say that today!

Just wanted everyone to know that we are all getting SO excited - I think I'll haul the suitcases out of storage tonight! I found sunscreen - thanks for the heads up about Walmart. Now I'm looking for water socks - any suggestions? Has anyone looked at the 10-day forecast for Orlando, Cape Canaveral and points southeast? I'm almost afraid to look!

Hope all the stress monsters are under control for those of you who have been under attack. Won't be long now...

 

[the4nitz's]

Here is a link to a 10 day forcast for Cape canaveral. If it holds correct (when are they ever right) they are forcasting rain for both Friday and Saturday. So if they say rain that means it will be sunny and warm we hope. Everybody stay healthy.

I've been at my desk for almost an hour and I still can't take off my coat and gloves. I told my boss that I'm working with glove on until they can fix the heat.

That wind out there is sooooo cold. But this time next week, I'll be boarding a plane and that's all that counts!!! Even 60 degree weather in Florida will be welcomed after all this!

No one has posted about any crisis lately....is everyone too busy dealing with them or is everyone just too cold!

Take care all!
Karen

 

[Scratch42]

But I work better under pressure!

Had to go to another Funeral, friend of the family so could not beg off.

This weekend is the all or nothing! Well not nothing, whatever I forget will buy in Orlando!LOL

My big thing is to remember to take the cat to the Kennel!

Stay warm everybody!

BTW, no rain allowed on vacation! Plenty of Sunshine only! From my lips to God's Ears! Thank you!
