Thx for doing this Izzie..........it looks like half of us are gone and tomorrow we're losing about 10 more families........Safe travels!!

 

[jlawall]

Oh my god that would be soooooooo cool I NEED TO KNOW MORE...where did you find this info Joanne ?

I found it on the DCL Forum last night.............all my DIS friends have been speculating where DCL would go next, we never imagined another European port..........this one looks good to me! My only request would be that until the new ships are built, the Wonder would rotate 3,4 & 7 day cruises back to the Eastern & Western Caribbean in the summer months! (If the Magic was in Europe again!)

 

[jlawall]

This would be wonderful!!!

Did it say where it would be sailing to?

I'd love to do the transatlantic back to FL. If we had booked the next 10 day cruise we may have been able to work it out but it's hard to justify flying back to Barcleona.

Sandra

I'll have to check and see if any more info was provided about itineraries.....

 

[jlawall]

Yesterday I was wide awake at 5 am and today couldn't sleep past 4:30. I'm not sure how this is going to effect my jet lag but I do manage to get things done that early in the morning. I've always been a morning person anyway.

To Do list for today:

make Tshirts, decals printed
finish FE gifts, printing done just put together
canel Spa reservations
Pedicure and Body polish
pack Lilly
deliver Lilly's stuff to Grandma
shop for things I thought of when I couldn't sleep at 4 am.
Clean the house,
pack

Then we will be ready to go.

Sandra

Actually, what you are doing is great for preventing jet lag! I have 3 more days to get ready and go!

Today, I'm making a list........
Workout
Buy gift bag (I just thought of the "perfect" items!)
Finish the laundry
Cancel newspapers
Continue cleaning...........

We did make our pedicure and salon appointments for Friday morning. I am planning on being fully packed (the whole family) Thursday night!

 

[jlawall]

Good morning all!!

Well, I'm as packed as I ever will be. If it's not in there now, it's not coming with us. DH is working a half day today so I'll drive him to the train and pick him up. Then, off we go. I'll check in until about 1:00pm or so then the next time I'll speak with you is in Barcelona!!!

Could a year and a half since we booked this cruise have gone so quickly????

Maryann

How exciting! We look forward to seeing you in a few days........have a great journey!!!!

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

You will never guess what!!​

The tag fairy showed up at my house tonight with a Bahama Mama and told me to sit and rest and she would pack for me!! Now, it is all done and I am well rested!!

I sure could have used her!!!! lucky you!

Well, we are not quite gone yet.....our flight is 10pm East Coast tonight.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Hi everyone! We are here in Barcelona, and I am on the hotel computer, since we do not have internet in the room and I cannot find a wireless connection.

It took 19 hours to get here, and other than the 3-hour delay in Philadelphia it was very smooth. Barcelona could not have been any easier, and we did not have any trouble with pickpockets or anything like that.

We are in a tiny room with 3 beds, but after a rest we'll get out and walk around. I am feeling the lack of sleep now. lol

Oh, and it's very warm and humid here right now.

 

[disneylover5]

Are wel really this closr to 16,000. I thought it would have gone by last night.

Have a smooth and safe trip Maryann. See you for dinner on Friday

 

[disneylover5]

I don't think I have had a big post since 2,500....I thought that was pretty cool.....

 

[danfromca]

wonder if...

 

[disneylover5]

I can't wait till tonight

 

[danfromca]

wonder if...

So, I guess there's something good out of a rare case of insomnia

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Congrats on getting a major, Dan. I did not even notice.

16,000.... WoW
