Hi,

Mari.......It looks to me like you got everyone on the FE. I wrote a note on the board here to see if Jane wanted to join but I don't see a reply. Thank you for doing such a great job of keeping us organized. I went on you tube and saw the boys. They are great. I am so looking forward to hearing them on the ship.

Mari it has not reached the 100's this week.....just the high 90's. Just tooooooo hot!! Just heard on the news we had the hottest May on record.

Lisa......Have you stopped your shopping yet????? When does Katlyn take her driving test? Tell her Taylor does not get out of school until June 11th. She probably will not go on the boards until then.

Jane....Have you decided whether or not you wanted to join the exchange? We would love to have you. Just need to know soon so we can include you in our shopping expeditions!!!!(especially Lisa who can't stop ha ha) Are you listening Lisa???????

Debbie so glad you were able to get your Palo ressie. I wanted to go for dinner there besides brunch. Thought I would like to go on Pirate night. Wish we knew what our rotation was before we boarded.

Leaving for California on the 11th for Taylor's dance recital. Will still keep in touch while I am gone.

Everyone have a good week!

thanxs for inviting us to join the exchange but i think we will pass. but i would love to meet all of you...... well gotta go for now cant wait for the cruise.... have a great week everyone. oh by the way has anyone started packing yet......

Jane...I am sorry you won't be joining us in the exchange but I hope the teens will all get to meet each other. I know you said yours did not enjoy the club last time but maybe they could go once so they could all meet.

I have not even started packing for the cruise yet. Just finished packing for my trip to see Taylor and my daughters in California tomorrow. Will do some clothes shopping with Taylor for the cruise when I am down there. We are both very excited.

Looking forward to meeting you too! Tell the girls to look out for our boys. They are very tall..can't miss them. Sometimes they meet up with the teen group and sometimes they find their own group and hang out too. So whatever works for your girls.... is fine.

Happy packing to you!

Mickie and Mari,
Thanx for sending pixie dust Katlyn's way as you prob all ready know by now she passed. I'm the one who needs pixie dust now. ha Hey I was reading some previous posts and they were talking about fish extenders and the items in them getting stolen. I have finished shopping Mickie ha and I definitely don't want my goodies stolen ha Have you had any problems with this in the past?

I can't believe our cruise is in one week I'm getting excited. I usually dont do laundry on the ship but I don't want to take as many clothes this time I got a good tip today about a laundry detergent that is like a dryer sheet wont take up much space wont spill in suit case I'm trying it out today its called 3 in 1. Less space means more room to take home lots of stuff from shopping ha Really I dont like to shop that much I just have a good time buying things for other people.
See You Soon,
Lisa

Got our cruise docs in the mail today- we must be getting close!!

Mickie Have fun in CA visiting your family.

Mari hope your not having any bad weather. I have started packing a little here and there, I can't believe the cruise is almost here. Katlyn and I are working on getting a little tan before we go so we dont get burnt to a crisp since my whole family is blonde hair blue eyed and kinda pale we can tan it just takes a bit of work, i usually dont like going to the tanning bed but I'm going to a few times. I saw I think earllier that you and Mickie have rooms higher up on the ship I wish we would have done that however the first cruise we went on it was suggested the lower you are the better the chance you wont get sea sick so we took the advise and we didnt get sick so we chose to play it safe and stay in the same area and I dont like standing on the balcony looking at the water it makes me kinda woozy so I guess were better off where we are at. ha have a great week and hope the weather is great where you are .

NO cruise documents yet...we will be looking...

Yea for Katlyn and her driver's license!!!!

We have never heard of anything stolen from our FE, but then again..I don't know if we would know or not since we wouldn't exactly know what was given to us or if what we gave was taken or not..

I was only concerned when the tiny bottles of rum were in our FE. It made me uncomfortable that kids (ours or others walking by) could have gotten in to them. So we dumped them out when we saw them. I'm unlucky enough to be allergic to alcohol anyway..makes me a great designated driver

We had tornadoes all afternoon Wednesday. I was picking McKay up from piano and the sirens went off. It is the most eerie sound you could ever imagine. The sirens mean that there is a sighted tornado on the ground., but being downtown with taller buildings, you just can't see where the tornado is.
I decided to drive home and it wasn't until we were in a spot where we could see further out unobstructed that we could really see the cone shape of it. McKay was hysterical. Spent most of the afternoon in the basement and at work they throw everyone in the meat locker Terrence and Spencer were outside watching for a bit. But when I went out there and there was clearly the counter-clockwise rotation swirling, I made them get in immediately.

Terrence and Spencer last cruise were able to "read" the clouds well enough to get back on board on Castaway Cay day before we had an awful downpour. Of course we werent paying attention. Everyone was waiting in line to get back on the boat and everyone was just drenched. Living out here you just know..if you're paying attention!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Well you would fit in here well with your coloring. I have never seen so many blue eyed blonds in my life in this town.(and we moved from CA). Just next door..all white blond hair with blue eyes cute girls. My two younger are brown haired brown eyed and tan easily. My oldest is fairer like DH side with greenish, bluish eyes and he burns.

Wherever you are on the ship, it is fine. We are only on deck 8 because we have to cram 5 people in room. We may have been better off lower with 2 rooms connecting.... Since the two older boys come in after the 3 of us are asleep.

Wow I couldn't read all of the 12 pages of chit chat but we are first time DCL'ers and would love to meet up with other couples, especially any of you with little ones to pal up with our little one (she is almost 7). Less than 4 weeks to go - lets get the party started!!!

 

[zmom]

Welcome Ejack! I will be cruising DCL for the first time too with my son who is 7!

Cool. How do people on these threads actually meet up or find each other? Maybe our kids can play together!

 

[zmom]

Since it's my first time too, I'm not really sure, but hopefully the repeat cruisers will suggest a meeting place. Zane is always looking for someone to play with since he's an only child!!

Welcome, welcome EJack. Your little one will have a blast in the kids club They have dress up clothes and a gigantic pirate slide in their play area. She will meet lots of wonderful kids! My youngest is 9 now, but on our first cruise he was young enough to play in that area and had sooo much fun!!

Nice meeting you!

The shuttle Endeavor has been delayed until July 11th at 7:39pm. So all of you coming in the day before the cruise MAY get a lucky surprise! The view from Cocoa will be awesome for you if it goes up. It has, however, been scrubbed twice this week, so you never know, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you all to see it. It's an awesome sight!

Nice! I'll come early to see that. I saw the second shuttle launch ever from the cape, but none since then. I hope it happens that night!

Thanks Mari! We are really looking forward to the trip and hope to meet some of you all on the boat.
