Helen this is wonderful!!!
The fish extender fabric is waiting by the sewing machine and I still haven't decided on DisGifts, or the grab bag. Whitman's only claim to fame is THe Toll HOuse Cookie was invented here.

Speaking of fish extenders, where have you found them on sale? And, if nowhere, would someone with those skills (meaning, we're not too crafty) help another diser out by making an extra? I would hate to miss out on Sandra's mythical Toll House cookies (which, by the way, was covered recently on Food Channel's 'Taste of America').

I just googled "hanging wall organizer" and found plenty to choose from. Those cookies do sound wonderful!

Thanks Julie. I'll be on the lookout for one.

Laura, I can't think of what these would look like (nor do I go to Home Depot or Lowe's!) . . . let me know if you have extra, and if not, I'll figure some other way to make it harder to "lift."

They're called tie wraps if you end up at a store and want to ask someone if they have them.

No problem, I suggest at least two cards if not three, I aways use one for 'check in' etc as the Hotel seeks authorization in advance say $50 a night for your stay and that eats into your available balance, then put that card in the safe and use another, if Around Barcelona take one card only and small cash, lots of pickpockets so you only loose a little, don't flash the cash!

Don't look like a tourist, so cut the Disney or USA T-shirts until the cruise, use plain stuff so you do not stand out, really Barcelona and La Rambler is a pickpockets area.

Many thanks for the good advise!

Now that all of the is done, again---I hate that job---if we could join a nudist colony for almost a month, I would have it made!

Thanks, Penny!

I feel like everyone on this thread is running a marathon and I'm walking a 5k.

I have posted lots of questions but by the time I get to check back I can never find the answers, if there ever were any.

Anyway, a day or two ago (which must have been thousands of posts ago) I asked about excursions - trying to see if I could "gift" another DIS'er with the ones we are cancelling. If we can, and if you want any of mine, send me a PM and I'll see if we can make it work. I am cancelling Palermo for kids, Pompeii Sorrento and Capri for families, Little train Marseilles, Little Train Monaco, and Day at Sea Maddalena Arch. Maybe one other one - not sure yet.

Maybe it doesn't work like CRT, maybe they just go back into the system. Either way, hope everybody gets to do whatever they want to! It's gonna be a great cruise.

Pixie dust,

Susy

Just got back from shopping!

My kids must be traveling with you. That's about how much TP they use a week.

More flashing????? its Catching!

You better hope not!!!!

I was just putting papers together for the cruise, and looking at the original date on the conformation fax from DCL of 4-3-06, it seemed like this cruise was forever in the future! Now, after all these months, over a year of talking---we are almost there ..... Now I know the time will fly. This has been so much fun, planning, talking, & making new friends! Do you think the ship can take us?

[jlawall]

I haven't been on the board in a while. But i am still working on the shirt. I wanted to get a quote from the shirt shop in town to see about doing them there. Or, we can just each take the word doc and print out our own shirt iron-on.

I am targetting around July 1st to get the final tags that we will use.

Thx alot for doing this!!!!!!!! I don't know how to do the iron-on thing but I'll try to figure it out!

I went to the beach today- but I will really join the cleaning brigade tomorrow. I can't even see the floor in the "junk room" otherwise known as the third bedroom.

Thx! I think it's Anna's anniversary present (Jimmy Buffet)..........my anniversary is July 11th....27 years.......it's truly a miracle!!! ..........but we're actually celebrating raising 3 beautiful daughters, and unfortunately, losing Ken's dad this year.......our motto........Carpe Diem.........Seize the Day!!!!!!!!!

I've always dreamed of going to the Mediterranean.......I'm glad I get to do it with DCL Magic!!!!!!!!!!
