July 15-22 2006 Western Anyone?

[thegales]

Good Morning every one! We are off to breakfast in about 15 minutes. Tomorrow we will be in our last minute preparations to go to the terminal! We are on the 10:30 shuttle. We may go down early and try to catch the 10:00 am. If they don't have room for all four, I may send DW and DDs to get the boarding card. I will come at 10:30 with the luggage.

Good luck in last minute packing.

Hey, and no more shopping!

 

[sillykidsmom]

I will be back later. I have a busy morning. I think I will get it started now. Have a great one. My goodness, this time tomorrow, we will be at the airport. I can't believe we are so close.

Can you believe it!!!! Tomorrow we will be on our way!!!!

This is crazy, all the planning and it is almost here. Just one more busy day!

Well, you must have taken that dream, because I did not have one that even resembled it. That is just not right.

I woke up with a start in the middle of the night, because I had a dream that my youngest was hurt. How terrible is that? I think this fear of flying is affecting my subconsious. I am not nervous about anything else, so that must be it. I will try to keep those dreams from making an appearance tonight.

I told my husband, after I found out that it was going to rain, that I would rather take off on a dry runway, and he just laughed. Do you believe that. He said I don't know much about airplanes. He is very supportive of my worries.

Nope, I didn't see Johnny in my dreams last night either. I don't even think I had a dream. At least I can't remember. Probably a good thing considering the dream you had. Yikes!!! I hate when I have those types of dreams.

No worries about taking off in the rain. All will be fine. I've taken off and landed in so many snow storms. Just think that they do this everyday. I always tell myself they want to get home to see their families too. Just remember to take those deep breathes and have those drinks.

Did he catch the hint from your posts that you should really start packing?

It is a dreary morning and now they say tomorrow morning will be ugly too. I am telling you, I think they make the forecast look beautiful until it is too late for the tourists to change their plans. They always forecast beautiful weather until Friday morning.

Are you kidding me, dh said he will now wait to the last minute since it's driving me so crazy!!! URG!!!!!

DH didn't get up until 8:00am this morning. He usually starts work at 4:00am. He has to put in at least 8 hours so that means not getting off until 4:00pm. He is going to be so cranky trying to get everything done. See he should have listened to me.

Ok, I will do my best to stay in the house and not venture out to any stores.

This is great, we only have to get through today!!!!

Good morning!!!

I am taking all the little extra minutes I have and posting.I guess today is it. We will all actually meet. This is too cool.

My aunt comes in today, and we plan on a couple of drinks together here tonight. That should help me sleep better. Tomorrow morning I will be fine.

I told my boys last night how blessed we are to even be able to do this vacation. There are so many who cannot, or are stuck in one place, not wanting to see the world. I definitely want them to have thankful hearts. Never in my life would I have thought that I would be headed on such a wonderful vacation.

Ooops, getting a little emotional here. Gotta stop. I think I will cry many tears tomorrow. Happy ones, of course.

Well, I am off to drop one off at bible school, the other to the orthodontist. I will be back later. Today is just going to fly by!!!

Okeedokee, Have a wonderful day!!!! I will probably be on and off this thing all day talking to myself.

They are too funny. Well, at least you got all your stuff done. You won't be cranky.

Are you going for that margarita tonight?

Here is the forcast for the next week:

Tomorrow in Orlando and Port Canaveral - 10% chance of rain High 92.

Sunday Key West - Scattered Thunderstorms 30% chance of rain High 86

Monday - Sea Day

Tuesday Grand Cayman - Isolated Thunderstorm 30% chance of rain High 88

Wednesday Cozumel - Scattered Showers 60% chance of rain High 90

Thursday - Sea Day

Friday Castaway Cay - Scatterd Thunderstorms 60% chance of rain High 88

All in all it looks pretty good. Rain chances are always high this time of year and the storms usually come in late afternoon. No worries here!!!

I think I may stick with a few glasses of wine. That usually calms me down and puts me to sleep. If I have a margarita I don't think I could just stop at one or two or three or.........I want to feel good tomorrow.

 

[thegales]

And we are off again. Next time I am on, we will be at Cape Canaveral!!

Thank you. Yeah, and the rain probable come as fast as it goes. I hope our beach days are okay. I am looking so forward to some sun and fun. Tomorrow looks great for the sail away party.

That is true. I have Kahlua and cream for my mom, aunt and I . Yum. A nice relaxing sipper. Fattening, yes. My vacation officially starts tonight.

Now that sounds yummy

I just finished cleaning the upstairs. Not too bad of a job. I had to vacuum around all the suitcases in my room though.

I'm just taking a quick break before I start on the bathrooms. Yuck. Not my favorite thing to do. I'm so glad I did such a big clean last week and kept on it. This will be a breeze!!!

We had just about the same forcast for our cruise in May. I'm happy to say that we did not see a drop of rain until the last night of our cruise. The tropics are looking good!!!!

 

[sillykidsmom]

And we are off again. Next time I am on, we will be at Cape Canaveral!!

That should get you there around noon!!! How I wish we were leaving tonight. Oh well we had to save some money somewhere with all the shopping I've done.

 

[sillykidsmom]

I'm getting so fustrated with the Disney Cruise Line website. I've been trying since last night to retrieve our reservations and it keeps telling me their system is currently down. It's driving me bonkers. I really wanted to quadruple check and make sure I printed everything.

I'm taking a deep breath now and trying to relax. Ok, a little better. Well I best get back to cleaning. Yippee!!!!

Tomorrow at this time I will be at the Port looking at the Magic in awe!!!!

Jon (that would be DH) is such the character. I just went into his office to see how his day was going. I told him just think tomorrow at this time we will be at the port getting ready to board. And his reply was, "No, tomorrow at this time I will be packing". Knowing his answered would be no, the wonderful wife I that I am, asked him if he would like me to start packing for him. Oh darn, I was correct his answer was no.

Alright, I just had to fill ya in. Back to cleaning. Have I mentioned I'm over the fact about cleaning. I think it's as good as it's going to get.

Wow! You've all been very busy posting since I last checked in. I'm not going to read them all now - just thought I'd check in one last time. We are having a good time at WDW. The weather has not cooperated at all. We've been here before in July and expected afternoon showers but Wednesday and Thursday it poured most of the afternoon. Wednesday we never left AKL, yesterday we were at EPCOT and did the best we could. Today dh is golfing then he's going to take Noah back to go on more rides while I get a little alone time at DTD and the laundry room

AKL is beautiful. I'm not very impressed with the Concierge here however, the Poly staff seems much nicer. We've not seen many animals from our room either. My heart belongs to Poly .

We are all very eager to get on the ship so we can relax and get pampered!!

Safe travels to everone.
