July 5, 2011 - Mickey's WONDERful Alaskan Adventure

[BLTOH]

July 5 (what time & where is the meet??) I know we are to wear green ribbon, but not sure where we are all meeting.

At our meet maybe we can plan a "Survivor meet" We actually did this on our last cruise.

not sure.. we can meet in one of the lounges around maybe 3ish? anyone else have input?

they just put dad on an antibiotic cause he hasnt been feelin well the past couple of days and he is suposed to have chemo on thursday. so i am praying he is feeling better and all by time we leave. i have so much going on this week. i did confirm the limo thru that place at pan pacific. so glad right now i went ahead and did that as with dad this week i know he will appreciate the better ride to the hotel.

A suggestion for the trip...grab the cardboard beverage carriers from Starbucks, Caribou etc. to bring on the ship to carry multiple cups from Deck 9. I save them up just for cruises. I think we will be doing more than normal treks for coffee and hot chocolate.

Tracy - so sorry to hear your Dad isn't feeling well. Extra prayers and pixie dust that this chemo isn't a rough one for him and he can enjoy the vacation.

The Wonder is now on its way to Tracy Arm. The next time it is in Vancouver will be for us to get on!

I did a huge shout-out to the boat as it passed by about 9:45PM heading north. I bought a pretty lousy camera for the trip (it's super small and our ABD is supposed to cover the photos anyway), so my pictures are too dark and blurry to post (O.K. I should have bought the better camera).

Anyway, the ship looked amazing!!!

Tracy,
Keeping your dad in my prayers. Hoping the abx kick in and he'll feel better by the weekend!

I got a text message for DCL yesterday. It was really fun! Reminding me to pack my cruise documents in my carry on luggage. Thanks for the tip Mickey

Mary,
YAHOO, hope this set of cruisers takes good care of the Wonder for US!

Printed out our door magnets last night, working on finishing up the FE gifts, got suitcases all over the house. I divided all the tip money into envelopes and tucked them away so we didn't have to worry about that on the cruise.

Tonight I WILL finish the magnets and FE gifts!

I'm right there with you. I had to buy new magnet paper as they didn't print right the first time. Tonight's the night!

I have 3 teacher interviews over the next few days. It would be awesome to get a job before the trip. Wish me luck and send good thoughts my way!!

Sending prayers and Pixie dust your way for the interviews - hope you get something so that you can really celebrate on the cruise!

Tracy,
Your dad's in our prayers too!

Our suitcases are all over the house also, the clothes still in the clothes baskets that we use for the preliminarily packing or hanging on the back of the bedroom door. Walt's still got quite of bit of packing to plan for, but I think I'm good! Just have to call the credit card company, airline and cell phone and then I think I've covered everything.

Good thoughts and Pixie dust coming your way! I start a new job August 1 so hopefully we'll be celebrating together

BTW I hosed a couple of magnetic sheets too. Our darling doors will be worth the effort!

Must be a 'Walt' thing! Sue, why are you calling the cell phone company? Is this something I should be doing?

Teresa,
I called the cell phone company because I just got this new smart phone and was unsure about dat charges in Canada an Alaska. I just wanted to prevent an large unexpected phone bill next month. I think I'm just going to turn the data feature off until we get home, 69 cents a minute would add up, and it's not like I need to get email or anything while on vacation.

Hey everyone! A little late to the party, apparently, but I'll be sailing with all you guys on the July 6th cruise next week!

This is our 7th cruise with DCL and it looks like it's gonna be a great one! The weather looks kinda iffy but hopefully we'll still have plenty of sunshine headin' our way.

In years past we've had the fortune of being onboard during movie premieres or other special events. Anyone know if something like that's going on this time?

Thanks Sue!
I called my cell phone company this afternoon and for 4.95 a line (per month if I forget to change) we can all call and text in CA for no extra. Figured it is $20 well spent to be able to communicate for the 3 days we are in Vancouver. We'll be turning off our data wi-fi there as that is really pricey!

Alaska rates are the same as if we are in Michigan on our plan. Good thing those boys won't have to suffer for days without being connected with their college friends!

Welcome to the group and to the DIS. I know know about anything special on this cruise. Just being on it will be special enough for me.

Oh same here for sure. I'm just finishing all the signs that we put on our door, and we'll usually make a special sign for any events we know going on. For example, we were on the Magic Meditteranean cruise when Ratatouille premiered in 2007, so we made a giant Ratatouille movie poster for our door.

I can't believe this is only your second post on the DIS boards~ You sound like a pro!!

Hope you enjoy the boards and find yourself spending countless hours combing the boards like I do

Thanks for the reminder that I'm supposed to be cutting out my door magnets not reading the boards....
