July 18 Tortola cruise part 3

[cinderella97]

last time I checked the boards we were at post 62! Gotta catch up!

dd was so excited to get the email! She is so looking forward to meeting your dd. I

OK, all this FE stuff - I am feeling very bad - all your planning, making, etc. Mine is so simple and plain, I feel stupid! I should drop out but I have such a cute FE! I'm sad.

Don't worry about it. I'm feeling that way too, but its the thought that counts and for FUN!!! I think of it as a Girl Scout Swap! Yes I am a GS leader!

"

BTW: Just check my flight out....

When I purchased the ticket, cost was $198.00 per ticket
4 days ago, cost was $308 per ticket
Today --> Cost is $568 per ticket - that is more than the two tickets I have now.

oh... and there are only 16 open seats on the plane right now.....

I just checked my flights and they are SOLD OUT! Yes we are leaving on the 7:15am on Saturday and there are not seats! They better not over sell and expect people to not get on or I will be.. with a little

I put all of mine together and decided that the bags seemed very thin - so I went out and got some more stuff. Hope everyone has a sweet tooth!
!

Our family definately has a sweet tooth! Especially dd.

I was just looking at the weather for St. Thomas - mid 80's day and night. But then, I look at sun rise and sunset, and the sunset is at 7pm!! Ok I'm from the north and that is winter/late fall sunset for us. We are used to the sun up at 6:00 am until 9:30pm. I like it that way! I get so much more done.

I like these funny faces..

 

[MarcyIn Florida]

Okay, I will now pick myself up from the floor.... laughing......
The funny part was we JUST finished Access today and they have their test on it on Monday....

Famous quote from today: "What do you mean if I misspell it, it won't query?"

"Oh, I did not notice I spelled Smith both Smith once and Smiht the next time"

"Doesn't it have an internal spell checker to know what I meant?"

Oy! We work with Access databases in large scale litigations t track documents, and I once fired someone for spelling errors in it. Tell your students that theoir jobs depend on it!

Can't wait to meet you and yours - - this is going to be SOOOOOO much fun!!!

July 18th cannot come soon enough!

Jamie

You know how we know we spend too much time obsessing about this cruise? Greg and I were talking about you in the car today as if we knew you IRL. "Which one is Claire's mom" "Jamie. You know, Georgia Jamie." "Oh. yeah, she's really great."

OK, all this FE stuff - I am feeling very bad - all your planning, making, etc. Mine is so simple and plain, I feel stupid! I should drop out but I have such a cute FE! I'm sad.

No, no, no! You're just witnesses the obsessive compulsive among us. I do this with everything in my life. Just total type A obsessivenes. You're listening to women who obsess over crafts, so they just can't help themselves.

Don't worry about it. I'm feeling that way too, but its the thought that counts and for FUN!!! I think of it as a Girl Scout Swap! Yes I am a GS leader!

See, there you go, Lucy. Girl Scout leaders are, by definition, obsessive compulsive. They have to be!

Jill, my dh was an honorary GS leader. Boy does he have stories!

 

[cinderella97]

Ohhhh, I can't wait to hear the stories! I'm a lifetimer. Have been in scouting for nearly 40 years( all my life). Now I'm telling my age. I have plenty of camping stories that I tell my girls. I was actually suppose to take my girls to Mackinaw Island the week of this trip, but I told them that this was a once in a life time opportunity and I could not pass it up. ( there will be more than 30 of us for a family cruise-I'm the only one on here though) They understood and and hopefully we will be able to plan a larger trip next year-if they all come back. Since they are going in middle school is kind of hush hush of course, but I have been trying to drill the importance of college acceptance and such. They are so close to the silver award, all they have to do is to actually do the project, which they can't do until next year. I had 10 this year, and I really hope they all come back to do the trip next year, and to earn their Silver Award.

 

[Pyrdum]

Five more days till we leave. Between the packing and FE's I can't keep up with the boards.

 

[cinderella97]

Since I really like Joanne's little ticker, I did one myself for our future trips! What do you think? Anyone be around at Christmas and Easter?

I really need to go to bed now. Had a glass of wine and need to sleep. Need to pack and clean tomorrow.

Good Night!

 

[jlawall]

You guys are cracking me up again today!

I think you two should do the MATCH YOUR MATE game on board . . . If recent Navigators hold true, it'll be Saturday night in Rockin Bar D! Whaddya say?????

Jamie

I totally agree!

 

[jlawall]

GG Ressie number: 824529

Our conf. # for our family is M9730148. They might be looking for your confirmation number for your group.

Good Luck!

Totally but - I'm so psyched that I figured out the multiple quote thingy! I kept seeing everyone else do it and I couldn't figure it out! Now I'm having way too much fun with it!!!!!

Really - it's the little things...

I learned that the year we sailed on the Med........so cool!!

 

[jlawall]

Sorry just now getting home. It has been a long day. The GG #'s I have are M9723692 and 824529. Tell them they must allow you to add your DD if not I'll call and pitch a huge southern style hiss fit for you. And after the day I have had they do not want that to happen. Let's just say i need about 20 frozen drinks.

Medical supplies final showed up today after spending an hour on the phone last night threating everything but nuclear warfare if they did not get them to me by today.

I'm ready to pack and go. How am i ever going to get through work on Monday.

Lissa

Thank you so much!

Ok, I have to share what happened today......

First, last week, I received a phone message indicating that I never paid the remaining balance on my WDW ressie, so my 2day trip was cancelled on Tuesday of this week to the AKL.

I found out and flipped out, it was a email/snail mail misunderstanding and was resolved.....

When this happened, I think my GG ressie was cancelled.

Then, my DD22 realized she could join us in WDW next Thursday and Friday.

When I called and tried to add her to our ressie including park tix, dining plan and GG dinner on Friday, I had to totally change our resort, pay a fortune and get her included in our WDW experience.

Then I tried to add her to the GG dinner and I was literally on hold for THREE HOURS today, trying to get this resolved.........after talking to FOUR WDW employees, I found out that I DID NOT HAVE A RESSIE ANYMORE FOR OUR GG EXPERIENCE. Only the last agent seemed to give me straight answers, so after waiting another 4 hours, she called me and told me that our entire party of 5 will now be at the GG event..........

Thx to everyone who provided info today..........I did write a complaint email to guest services about all of this, I'm so happy it's resolved and we can now look forward to next week's events...........thx again to all and sorry again for getting the pirate today, I was in the middle of all this fiasco and somehow I ended up with the 100 post!

Also, my DD24, is still working on our deck plans chart with her BF for the FE list...........they say it will be done by Monday.........I will post their maps when they are done.........

Oh, BTW, my DH and I are married 29 years today............and they said it wouldn't last..........

I've decided I'm not getting anymore pirates until BomaJack gets one, but I'll support all pirate runs until that point.........

 

[AdventureBlondeBoy]

LOL.... I do feel for him....but mine was from 300 on thread 1! But you, hehe you get them when not even trying

 

[teriyaki]

Can i have 3/4 of a pirate and call it a night? Maybe just a pira?

 

[teriyaki]

He wouldn't even have to be a full "Captain". He could just be a deck swabber.

I'm glad all your WDW things worked out. Sounded like a frustrating day.

And CONGRATS on being married 29 years!!!!

 

[AdventureBlondeBoy]

Ok Teriyaki, as far as I am concerned you can have that 3/4 pirate....I am callining it quits and when I get up tomorrow I will have to read this new pirate name and the one after....I am just not willing to fluff my way into it! Have a great night if any of you lurkers are still up! and I will see u all tomoro

 

[scduckman]

Congratulations on your 29 th anniversary.

One week from today will be boarding. I wish I had more distractions this coming week to make the time fly by.

 

[starwood]

This time next week we will probably be standing outside the Residence Inn at Port Canaveral looking at the ship.

I can't wait to get down there. Our allergies are kicking up big time. I steam cleaned the carpet on the stairs yesterday to try to get all the allergens up. Today I vacuum our room and Matt's room. Monday I will try to steam clean the hall and our room.
