July 15-22 2006 Western Anyone?

[sillykidsmom]

Hmmm, I would like to check that out, but if it is predominantly a drinking place, I guess I will have to wait until the kids are not with us one time. I heard someone say that they watched all the people stumble back from Carlos and Charlie's from their verandah on a Disney Cruise.

Gosh, it sounds like fun though. I guess I will have to get hubby to take me back to Cozumel.

Gales, I am not sure what we are doing in Grand Cayman. I have some ideas of shopping etc. I would like to find a nice beach there too. We thought about going to Hell. My kids laugh everytime I say that. My 10 year old just giggles and giggles. We were going through all the options and voting for what we would like to do and I said, " I think I want to go to Hell," and he fell off his chair. Anyway, my husband would like to do that.

Wow!! This is for real isn't it. I am really getting nervous about flying. Wouldn't you know it, I saw that a Russian plane crashed this weekend, and then this morning I saw that a Pakistani ( I believe) plane crashed. I hate when this happens. It gets me so worked up about flying....and I am already as it is. I pray for all those lost and their families.

I'm about useless today. Went for my allergy shot this morning. Came home, slept for about 2 hours and I'm still feeling grogy. I don't have time for this!!!

Carlos & Charlies is definately a fun place. You will have to get DH to take you on another cruise with a stop in Cozumel. My DH and I were probably two of the people they watched stumble back to the cruise ship.

Our excusion does stop at "HELL". It's really a tourist trap, but it is neat to see. My hubby is excited because we make a stop at the Rum Factory. I do have to say the rum cakes are delicious!!!!

Relax, take some deep breaths and have a few drinks before you get on that plane. Even though I fly frequently I still hate it. I get all nervous and get sweaty palms. Everything will be just fine. If all else fails, bring some backup from your doctor to help you relax. Not too relaxed though, you have to make it to the sailaway party.

Noahsmom's ticker reads all zeros!! I guess that means this is all for real and we all are going on vacation.

Ours will be reading zeros real soon!!!!

Once we get to the port I want time to SLOW DOWN!!!! These past two weeks have flown by. Today is practically gone already.

 

[sillykidsmom]

We are on the waitlist for main dining. Does anyone know what we should do since we are on the waitlist? Do we wait to see what our tickets say when we go to our room or should we go to guest services or somewhere else when we board to find out. I'm going crazy about this because the last cruise we had late dining as well and we never made it through a meal. It would be fine and dandy if Savannah would go to the kids club during dinner times, but I don't want either of the kids to miss out on the experience.

I'm sorry you are feeling under the weather. How long does that last? I hope it is just a short time and you will be back up and running before the day is up.

Carlos and Charlie's does sound neat. I would love to visit there. At least you found your way back to the ship. That's a good thing. Oh, have you ever done the margarita tasting on the ship. I hear it is more of a tequila tasting than anything. We are thinking of doing that. I do not like tequila, but someone had said it is much different if you have the better quality tequila. I love margaritas, but not sure about the tequila. If you do the margarita, wine or martini tasting, does it cost extra, or is it all included?

I will try to relax. I am trying not to think about the flight too much. I always get a good cry on the plane at take off and landing anyway. Once we land in Orlando, it will be nothing but tears of joy.

Are your children getting a little excited? I bet they are. Mine are beside themselves. My youngest said that he don't know why, but he is a little nervous. I think he is just extremely excited....getting butterflies.

Oh, I need to remember to get rum cake. I have heard so much about that too. I think that is what I will get my friends as a gift. They will love it. I hope they have taste testing there, because I do not think I can get one without opening it.

Well, I have cleaned my downstairs enough for my mother tomorrow is upstairs, then packing will really begin. Now if I can get these boys to pick up after themselves, so it will stay nice and clean.

Well, I have jabbered on long enough. Sorry for the long one, but no one is home and I guess I am compensating.

I'm bbbbaaaaccckkk!! My son just said today that he wished he could speed up time. I told him that we need it to slow down a bit now.It is going fast enough. Now that we are a few days away, I feel that the days are just whizzing by.

If it were me, I would go to guest services once you board. As my husband says, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." At least they will know how much you want it.

I should be better by the morning.

Yes you do get to sample the rum cake. I think I ate a whole rum cake sampling it. The cakes we bought for friends, well they ended up in our stomachs. OOppppsss.

The kids are getting excited!! About every hour or so Savannah ask if it's time to go yet. Zach is mad at me for sending him to camp this week. He would have gone crazy here this week and would have been bored out of his mind. I keep telling him he's better off at camp. I know when he gets home and talks about his day it would have been a good one.

I'm starting to have problems sleeping at night. This usually happens when we go away. My mind is racing a mile a minute and it just won't be quiet. Thank goodness for the allergy shot today. It gave me an excuse for a nap and I should (cross your fingers) sleep tonight as well.

My house is staying pretty tidy after the big clean I did on Friday. If we can just keep it up through the week then on Friday I will do a quick clean of everything.

I've been talking alot on these boards the past few days. I just can't seem to shut up. I think it may be all of the excitement!!!!

good afternoon everybody

Hope you are feeling better after your shot. Picked up DH cleaning so now he is all packed.

Eating everything in refrig so there are no leftovers behind.

I am also a nervous flyer. You will never get me to see any movies about planes. Except those Airplane movies the funny ones

doing last minute laundry and also cleaning My house it always looks great before vacation.

Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight because come Wed night I can never sleep before a trip. so I am about 2-3 days behind on sleep

I will have to lock away the rum cakes,and throw away the key. They sound awesome.

My husband is getting really excited. I was waiting for it to really kick in and it finally has. He said that he was thinking that this is not just any cruise, this is a DISNEY cruise. I wonder when that revelation came upon him. He went and got the traveler's cheques today, so that is taken care of. Now I can't wait to spend it.

It is good you were able to get some rest today. I know what you mean about having trouble sleeping. I cannot stop thinking of what I need to do yet, and I will get up, write a note to myself, then lay back down, only to get up and make another note. I am an avid list maker, so you can imagine the post its I can accumulate.

My list every morning begins with "get up." That is a very important thing to do , so it must be listed. I know, I am insane!

I'm so excited.....and I just can't fight it.....I'm a bout to..........

I am glad to hear of another nervous flyer. I love those Airplane movies (funny ones). They are so goofy. It is fun just to watch it to have a good laugh.

Hope you are able to sleep tonight. I hope we all can sleep tonight.

Evening everyone. DW bought a new suitcase today. I think we have enough now. After my last business trip, I had to throw out the suitcase I took. It was falling apart. We were trying to figure out if the new one was a good size, so I asked my DD10 if DD8 could fit in it. She almost does.

I still have to do my packing. We always take too much, so I am trying to figure out how to take less. I did order my rental tux though. So at least I know what I am wearing to dinner two of the nights.

I called Shirley late this afternoon after they closed. I will call again tomorrow morning. I still don't know what I am going to order.

 

[jazzbran]

Just dropping in to say hello.

Spent the weekend packing and still have more little knick knacks to purchase.

The kids looked in the suitcase and saw the abundance of hangers I'm bringing. Disney doesn't give you enough.

I'm really looking forward to Capt'n Marvin and the variety of rum cakes. Soo Delicious.

Also, my 14 year old will not stop talking about Pirates of the Carribean. She only wants to see it on the ship.

We'll leaving Thursday morning for Disney. Everyone have a safe trip.

I can't wait to see the Magic.

My mother said that if my suitcase was big enough, she was going to stow away in it...... I got a smaller suitcase.

If you figure out how to take less, let us know. I cannot part with some of the things I want to pack. I know that I can do with less, but I can't seem to figure out which things I should leave behind.

Great, hangers. Let me add that to my list too. Is there anything else you would like to add to my packing list.

Glad to hear that you slept well. I got a good amount of sleep. I think I am mentally exhausted. I slept like a baby.

I like that computer stretch. It works for me. Now I am ready to start my day!!

 

[sillykidsmom]

Goodmorning everyone!!
Usually when I get my allergy shot I can sleep and sleep and sleep. Well, last night was not the case. We had a violent thunderstorm here last night and my phone wouldn't stop ringing!!!! After all that, I was sure to fall asleep. Nope, I started listing in my mind what I can wear to dinner each night on the cruise!!! What is wrong with me!!!! I think I'm just going to pack my suitcase today and just forget about it till Friday night when we load the car.

Too funny!!! We actually wanted my mom to come so she could help watch the kids. She had no desire to go. Hmmm..... she never did give me a reason why she didn't want to go.
