July 9th 2005 - West Coast Cruise.

[Mulan's Ma]

I have tons of glow bracelets for everyone for the sail away party.

Now, does anyone know if I need to cart my beloved down pillow onto the ship? Does DCL provide them?

TIA,
Linda

We'll say a prayer for you Lori and ...

Cheapie rain poncho (fit in pocket, $1 or $2)

Copy of credit card numbers. Also phoned credit card companies to let know we'll be charging in mexico.

Glow braclets & necklaces for pirates party and possibly Animiators Palette

Talent - for family talent show

Lori- OMG! If anyone deserves to get on this boat it is you and your family. Prayers and from everyone at Soccerfamily central.

Craig, never thought about calling credit card companies. We bought a "unit" of glow necklaces from Oriental Trading (a unit being 50 - that's how they sell 'em) so we'll have plenty to pass around at something or another. Pirate's Night sounds good. Think they'll look good with the lime green?

Is it raining down there? Argh, one more thing to add to the list. Thanks for the suggestions. (And, yeah, bring your own reading material.)

Lori - let us know how things go.

I have two orders for activity booklets. Would anyone else like a 10 page packet of coloring/word search/search to keep the kid-lets busy while waiting at the terminal? I even found some Disney trivia so hard even Sara might be stumped. PM if you want a copy. They go into production this weekend. )I think I can get you a good deal. )

Lori...I'll be praying for you!!

I printed up the nametags last night...next is the cutting stage. I'm going to go to my district media center to do that early next week. So...if you haven't PM'd me with your info yet, please do so by this weekend!

I ordered some of those name badge holders with the elastic thingy that goes around your neck. I use them in my classroom each year and thought they might work for our DIS nametags...especially for those who won't be wearing a lanyard on the ship. This way you can wear them to the DIS meets/events, but you don't have to wear them all the time if you don't want to.

Cheri...I think I PM'd you already about the activity books, didn't I? Two for us, please! Thanks for doing that!!

Ok...time for the single digit dance!!!! I can't even believe it!

Good news...heard on another thread that the Dolphin excursions in PV have 2 different locations and that the group at 11 and the group at 12 go to different locations. Those of you who lived the dolphin saga with me might remember that I called 1st thing at the 90 day mark and was unable to book our family together. They put DS and I at 11 and DD and DH at 12, but assurred me that I would be able to observe and photograph both. I wasn't happy, but what could I do? At least everyone would get to experience the dolphins and I'd be able to see it all. Well, after reading reports from other West Coast cruises, I realized that there would be a good chance of us being at different locations! NOT OK!! I e-mailed a DCL supervisor who confirmed my suspicions...but also managed to put the whole family together on the 11 am excursion! Yay, DCL!!!

And...on the 6/25 cruise they put Twice Charmed back on Monday night, which makes my Palo dinner plans work out again!! Things are starting to fall into place! Only 9 days to go!!!

Prayers are being said for you. I just know everything will be OK and just try to RELAX! Let us know what happens.

Take care,

Craig,
Great list! Talent, who said we needed that?! LOL. wish that was something we could pick up at Walmart! LOL!
I was driving everyone crazy at work today. Couldn't sit still. I lost three things my supervisor gave me. He told me that he wants me to leave early next Friday because I will be useless. I'll take the insult and the time off!!!!
Lori

Randy and gang - have a safe trip!

Craig - that's quite a list! I thought mine was extensive but you have some stuff that I don't.

A week from today we'll be heading up to DL!

Another thing I pack is a small iron. Although they have these on board the wait line to use them can be as long as pre-boarding!!! Since I pack early there are bound to be wrinkles so I irong on a towl on the desk. Works great!!

Sheryl, be careful with the iron. Last time we cruised, we were not allowed to use irons in the staterooms. I think it's a pretty big safety deal. You might want to check with DCL. We don't want to burn down the Mickey Slide, do we?

[Dylcal]

I travel alot and do it all the time and have never had a problem. I did on the last cruise. The iron is really small and doesn't get much hotter than a curling iron and I always unplug after I finish!!

[Amous]

Is it time? Are we there? When can I board the ship? Can I board now? Are we there yet? Is it time? Can we cruise now?




Argh, Excitement Overload! Whew...... I feel better now.

An update!!!!! My MRI came back with no new findings, so the episodes I've been having must be from stress and dehydration like my neuro said yesterday. So, it's off to the Ped Ortho in an hour to get Julianna's cast off, then power packing tonight!!! This will probably be my last post, as we're leaving early tomorrow. I can't wait to see everyone at the sailaway!! Again, thanks Craig for the offer for the t-shirts, but with so much going on lately I haven't gotten around to it and I doubt I will by the end of today. So, no shirts for us, but it will be easy to find everyone else!!!! See you in 8 days!

 

[Dylcal]

Lori that is great news! Have a safe and wonderful trip! See you on the 9th!

Amy -- I agree! I can't wait anymore!!!

Lori-

Logged on quick to check your status before heading to JFK airport - wonderful news!

All-

See you in a week. BTW- packing isn't that bad. Ran out yesterday to do some last minute errands (took me three hours), extra suntan lotion, underwater disposable cameras, board shorts for my by 15 year olds DS with very specific specifications, etc, and came home to find the DW started/finished packing and all of the suitcases sitting in the foyer. Must have been all of those good lists that I have been gathering for her (I have to give myself some credit OR DW packed nothing for me and I will be wearing lime green the entire cruise) !

See you next Saturday.

ARGH!

Craig, thanks for listing that. I was wondering about that.

All--where are we meeting for the sail-away party. I am sure I'll see all the green shirts, but do we have a specific spot? I have 74 bottles of bubbles ready for the sail-away party!
