"Surprise, surprise! ".......said with a sarcastic American accent!

See, THAT"S how he does it . . .

The original source of the blackout is thought to be due to excessive fluff transfer on an intermittent internet connection. The suspect in question was in pursuit of something called "A mini-pirate". Further details are expected to be forthcoming...

I love it, Dan!

Harole Ann, Please try to relax. It won't do any good to worry anyway and we want you to be healthy to enjoy our cruise.

I'm sure the passport will come. THey all have arrived just in the Nick of time (pardon the pun).

Now that Nick's is here we'll start praying for Jan and Howie to receive theirs tomorrow at 10:00 am.

See you soon

Sandra

Thanks, Sandra--and I am sure they will have them tomorrow and as you say in the "Nick" of time as their flight is Wednesday! I guess there is nothing like staying on your toes. It will just make us appreciate the vacation that much more!


I think JoAnn's daughter started a blog and she had the instructions. Where do you find the time? It will be nice for Lilly to read if she will look at anything Disney now. Has she changed her mind about that?


Garry just finished everyone's shirts. Nathan wanted to take a highlighter to the back of mine on our names and highlight mine. I had to talk him out of that one! He is so excited for us. I almost wish he were going with us. If I had thought it thru, I just might have brought him, I think he would have had a good time...but there is still more baseball and football practice is starting.....holy cow, miss a game, miss a practice---not our boys! Well, sometimes, for Disney they have been known to do it!

See you soon!

Question to ever is still awake... Did I read somewhere that they will not give you iron if you need to press something???? My clothes are definitely going to be wrinkled by the-time they are unpacked... I just assumed I will be-able to get an iron- I cant remember this being a problem on our last Disney cruise, and I know I pack the same way. I cant imagine giving DCL everything of mine to press, I probably could pay for another cruise with what that will cost!!! Any thoughts????

Hi everyone,

It's been a busy day!

First all - glad you're having fun, Andrew, or would that be el pirata Andres'.

Safe travels, Helen.


Okay, on to the tales of the passport.....

If you've been following this saga of mine, the last we had was that the passport was not delivered on Saturday, and so I had asked them to hold it at the FedEx office and we would go get it. The agent put it in the system to hold - great.

Nick left here for his two-hour drive to San Diego. He called me shortly after 10am to tell me that....

.... the passport was not there, and would be delivered before 3pm.

This is where the smiley falling to its knees and lifting its tiny fist to the heavens would be really appropriate ... but for now, I have to use ... but, image a tiny smiley raising its little smiley fist.

So, we've been checking online for status, and Nick has been sitting by the front door waiting....

Well, he just called me

His passport was delivered at 2:50pm!!!




WE ARE GOING TO SPAIN!!!




So, I'd better get to packing!

AWESOME!!

It did happen- I just checked the web.. I know- go to sleep Sallie - OK!!
Night Everyone!!!

 

[Pixie Dust II]

Thanks Harole Ann- I love the grandkids!!! They are beautiful!!!

Thanks Sallie! Can't wait to meet you, Carley & Jimmy!


See you soon!

 

[salliep]

Thanks Sallie! Can't wait to meet you, Carley & Jimmy!


See you soon!

I only wish you could also meet the kittens and Cleo too- I know what an animal lover you are and you-comforted me so when I lost Chloe. I hope you will plan a trip to Long Island soon so you can come over and meet them. Princess Jasmine is welcome as well, although I do not think the cats will welcome her with open paws-!!

 

[disneylover5]

okay, I was going to pack tonight, but Daniel and I got sidetracked at Target in the college section....spent way too much time there and now I am just too tired to pack. We leave in exactly 48 hours.....

oh my.....

 

[disneylover5]

It really was a great book!!

Maryann

I'm sorry to admit that I'm not a HP fan, but two of my DDs are..........so I'm thinking that I might have to read this one! My oldest got it for her Bday, so hopefully, she'll be done soon so we can borrow it!!

 

[jlawall]

There's always something.............so maybe that was what Andrew was alluding to earlier???

 

[jlawall]

Andrew nice to see you around and thank you for the updates.

Julie, glad to hear you have received both set of documents. One less thing to worry about while away.

Helen, again - can't wait to meet you (and everyone).

I will start packing Friday am. Good luck to everyone who started/has packed. I hate it. Unpacking is even worse.

What time are you leaving, Anna???

Can not wait to see everyone and be able to relax and smile and say,

WE MADE IT TO BARCELONA AND WE DID NOT LOOSE OUR MINDS!!!!!! [/QUOTE]

I seriously feel the same way, at this point, I just want all of us to get there in one piece!

Since I'm one of the last to go, I hope I don't mess up and everyone else confirms their arrivals before I go!! I actually think we should do a head count at the DISmeet........friendly reminder.....PLEASE ATTEND ON SUNDAY MORNING AT 9:30AM IN THE PROMENADE LOUNGE ON DECK 3........IF YOU LIKE, BRING A GIFT BAG TO EXCHANGE FROM YOUR HOMETOWN ($15-20)

I wish we lived close enough to do just that. The cats probably would not think too much of Princess Jasmine, but I think she would like them. She loves all animals! She is just not sure she is a dog as she was raised with both dogs and cats. I wish you could have seen the cat at the ball game on Saturday. I almost took a picture of it as I was thinking of you. It had the most beautiful coat I ever saw, almost leopard like. Garry said it was a civit. It was just beautiful!
