January 8, 2006- 4 night Wonder- Anybody else coming with?

[Cruisin]

We are staying at the POP Century which I figure will be easy enough to get away from on Sunday. I don't think the marathon routes go near to there.

 

[VickiHD]

Happy New Year to everyone! May your 2006 be dusted with a lot of pixy dust and many magical moments.



Here on the West Coast we still have 2 1/2 hrs to go but I'm going to sleep through it.
Can't wait to have our DIS meet and see everyone in person! It's going to be a great cruise.

 

[Cruisin]

Happy 2006 everyone!!

Just wanted to add my wishes for a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR for everyone.

Our New Year's tradition is to eat Collard Greens and Black Eyed Peas, so we will be going over to my sis's house to do that this afternoon (along with some other fixin's, of course).

I was fast asleep before the New Year rang in. Fell asleep on the couch after we went and ate Red Lobster with my Mom and Step-dad!

Hope everyone has a great day...I have made my packing list, and I think I've picked up all the small things that we need, i.e...waterproof cameras, travel size shampoo...etc! So now we can get down to the nitty gritty. I can't believe that this time next week we will all be getting ready for our WONDERful cruise!

 

[Monstro]

Hello,

We're still with you all..... providing work goes smooth enough for me to leave. It's going to come down to the wire - last minute decision. It has been one hell of a 4th quarter. Moving our warehouse and then going right into Christmas damn near killed me. All this as our business grew 83% over 2004. - But that's another story.

Happy New Year to everyone and Happy Cruising. Is there a cruise meet planned?

Jeff

Hi Monstro! Happy New Year to you.
Keeping the fingers crossed that you get to join us...
I think we pretty much decided that we would meet right after the safety drill at the Promenade Lounge. I think it's going to be short...just time enough for us to all meet each other in person and put names with faces. I believe the time that was posted was 4:15 to 4:20. Hope you can join us!

 

[Cruisin]

Monstro, I hope that you will still be able to come with us. Aw , what the heck, work will still be there when you get back

I will be looking forward to seeing everyone at the DISmeet.

Just for fun I figured out how many hours are left until we leave

Only 42 hours to finish getting ready, don't know if there's time to sleep in there too

I chose Mr. Bouncy on purpose to convey that I am both excited for you and very jealous (note, he has a green face )

I hope you have a safe and fun trip to FL.

I will try to drive very carefully so that we arrive in Florida in the proper condition

 

[UGAFan0829]

Wow, Cruisin...you're not excited are you??... I have to admit that I would probably be running around like a chicken with it's head cut off if I were that close to departure time...
I hope that y'all have a very safe trip down, and hope that you have a great time at the World. I look forward to meeting you onboard!

 

[attagirlx2]

48 hours from now, my DH and I will be checking around for anything we might have forgotten, jumping in the car, and picking up DD from preschool, heading over to other DD's school, and then on the road to Disney World.

I don't think I will be sleeping until we get on the Interstate...there is too much to do!

Happy New Year's everyone. Aren't we all starting 2006 off on the right foot?!?!

 

[JoyCrazy]

Happy New Year

We're back just in time to work one more day = today and pack like crazy bees in a burning hive tomorrow. Then we leave at 3am on the third. We got so much to do. And I'm the only one home right now
I don't know if I'll get a chance to drop by the boards again before we go. I still gotta do our t-shirts ... who procrastinates Not Me!
Actually it's more like that Rona commercial ... What's This ... Hesitation??
I've never done it before and I'm afraid I'll screw it up. That's why I'm visiting the boards right now instead of doing them.

So if I don't get a chance to drop by everybody have a safe trip and I look forward to meeting you on the boat!
Cruisin watch those treacherous roads. Especially the ones in Canada!

 

[UGAFan0829]

JoyCrazy-I hope that you have a safe trip as well! Looking forward to meeting you onboard! TTFN!!

 

[VickiHD]

For the lucky ones that get to leave in a "few hours" drive safe. Now for the rest of us I wonder if this week will drag by until our departure time?



Yes Attagirlx2... A cruise vacation after the holidays are over with is a WONDERful way to start the New Year. Just think how many people are having to head back to their daily routines. While we get to go to WDW and do a Disney Cruise. Life is good!

 

[Cruisin]

Cruisin watch those treacherous roads. Especially the ones in Canada!

Actually I only have to drive on Canadian roads for an hour before I get to the American roads

The weather report so far doesn't look too bad, so I'm thinking we will be fine.

JoyCrazy and attagirl, sounds like we are all leaving on the same day but different times.

UGAFan ~~ actually I'm quite calm about it all, so far anyways.

Treacherous roads Now if you're talking all the hung over people on the freeway, then I can relate. Weather conditions and roads, well...no habla It's 82 degrees here today and it's FREAKING ME OUT! DH and I went to Target today to get a little sun visor for the beach (let's just say my hair doesn't dry well out of the water, so it's best to cover it up and not scare small children, of which there will be so many), and I wore shorts and a short sleeved tshirt. Too...weird. Is it really January?

Here's hoping you guys have just as good weather driving in.

You all want to hear how doofusey I am? Well, on Friday I decided that this time I would wax my own legs for the trip instead of paying for it again. I mean...how hard could it be? Don't even get me started on the fact that somehow I got wax on the toilet seat...and how I discovered it was there later.

Well anywho, trying to do the backs of my knees, I couldn't see and trying to squeeze around to see was causing my squishy parts to cut off my windpipe. Since passing out with wax on your legs is not advisable, I just kept ripping away at that area blindly. Couldn't seem to get it off...RIP *AYEEEEEEE!!!!* RIP *HOLY @#$@#*

Finally, I got all the wax off. I walk up to our full length mirror and turn around to I can see if I got everything on the back of my legs. Ohhhhh...crud. Well, the back of the knee being the sensitive skin area it is, I now have what looks like four of the most gigantic deep red hickeys on the back of my knees. And I thought spider veins were bad...

Desperately trying to remember the gossip sessions from my teenage years where gal pals swore about things to do to diminish a hickey before you parents saw it (all I can remember is the advice to lie and say you'd burned your neck with a curling iron, which obviously helps me not at all). Suuuuuuch a bad way to start a shorts wearing tropical vacation.

 

[VickiHD]

Branv....Ohhhhh I'm so sorry to hear your troubles. Call me old fashion but I love a sharp 3 blade womans razor on these long legs of mine.
Try ice cubes for the back of the leg hickeys. That's the only thing I can remember and it will help constrict the blood vessels and such.

I'm checking the weather and right now it looks like we may not even hit 70 degrees at Castaway Cays. So don't panic about wearing shorts yet.

 

[Cruisin]

No tshirts and shorts here today, except for the ones that I put into the suitcase just now.

The temperature is not too bad although I haven't been out much to experience it

I think I'll stick to a razor, waxing sounds much too painful to me

Vicki ~~ I think I'm going to STOP looking at the weather reports because everytime I look the temperature is lower

SOMEONE turn up the HEAT down there.... please

 

[branv]

Cheer up ladies, as of last Wed it was supposed to be a high of 72 here, and instead it's a full 10 degrees higher The forecast might still warm up (please oh please oh please)

 

[branv]

Ok, forget the previous pollyanna post. I have officially set aside my fleece hat/scarf/gloves set for our trip, and jeans instead of shorts I mean, 2 nights in WDW with lows in the 30's? Bummer.

But then, I'd still take that anyday over humid 90's, and I would most DEFINITELY rather be cold at WDW then at home no matter how good the weather
