Just checking in... 31 days until we leave...

My DGD and I went shopping this past weekend for our FE. Boy, she wanted to buy EVERYTHING!! It was hard to tell her no to most things. But we did get a few. Hope everyone likes them - I've never done this before. My FE should have been made over the weekend and shipped on Monday so I should be getting it soon. I'm also glad we're not all lonely down on deck 2. I thought we were gonna be all alone... I need to be in the middle on the bottom so I don't get sick.

Bill, looking forward to meeting Mammaw. My gram was so special to me. She passed away when she was 94 and I still miss her (8 years later). Cherish those times with her... they go too fast.

Hey guys,,, I had to drive to southern Indiana to pay to get the tree taken down for Mammaw. HUGE TREE!!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$ She is weak and depressed. I just don't know what to expect. Only 30 days left!!!! She wants to go home and yet she can't. Two hours down and then two hours back.

That's where my room is.........on deck 2 in the middle ............and I think we are on the starboard side. We might be neighbors! I also get motion sickness. I just bought some Bonine. I haven't tried it yet but I heard it works just as good as dramamine. The dramamine made me too drowsy when I took it 15 yrs. ago. My husband claims I took the less drowsy formula back then but I don't remember. When I read the package I noticed that dramamine causes marked drowsiness, and the less drowsy dramamine and the bonine claim to cause drowsiness...........but I don't know what the difference is between "marked drowsiness" and just plain "drowsiness". I am thinking maybe marked drowsiness is more drowsy than regular drowsiness........???????


Anyway, I 'd rather be drowsy than sick!!!!

Has everyone checked the stateroom report for their stateroom? You can find them at the link below. Not all rooms have reports. They seem to comment mostly on noise level.

http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/cruise-new/roomlist.cfm

After reading the reports, is anyone nervous about it?

Our's does not have a report, but I checked the one for the corresponding room on the other side of the ship, and it sounded fine. Actually, some complained about noise from the connecting room. But since my family will be using both connection rooms, I'll know who to blame for the noise.

Amanda

Thanks for doing this! Just made a quick change on ours...you had DD10.5 but it is a DS10.5.

 

[Ottes4]

Hey Amanda!

I thought that we were trying to meet around 3:15pm... I think it was posted a while back on this thread (I haven't gone back to look yet )

Bill- How is Mammaw today?

Melissa

 

[Namsupak]

Just taking a quick peek at the list and I'm so excited to see that there are so many Dissers going! It's so crazy to see the word Newlyweds by our names! We can't wait!

Melissa

Where? I'll tell our friends to meet us there - but the DIS Group will be a surprise!

Bill - How's Mammaw?

 

[stlkeeler]

Guess what!!! Four weeks from RIGHT NOW (my time) I will be floating on the ocean, watching the show, on the way to the beach, leaving all my problems behind!! I am just too excited! Hope everyone has a good week.

 

[3DAN]

Hi everybody, I have been super busy. I just saw Mammaw today. She is in a nursing home to build up her strength. I am uncertain as to the chance of her going on the trip. I hope so, as I am out a ton of DVC points with no recovery if she doesn't . I think she will be coming with us. Right now, odds are, oh, maybe, 70:30 for. She seems depressed and this is affecting her appetite. I don't know about other factors, yet. Plan is to bring her up here to Indy at least the week before the cruise and get settled. Clothes , suitcases, and to assess her general medical condition. I can get her blood tested if I need to. Boy, am I tired. Mammaw's yard, my yard in southern Indiana, my yard here in Indy, the office, bills for Mammaw, bills for us, Drivers ed for Billy, school every day for the both of them( private school and we drive them there). Mammaw turns 102 on Saturday. We will be celebrating it on the ship. I don't know what day as of yet. (another decision) WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED DANCING BANANAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill, the weary
Also, we will drive down to her on Sat to be with her on the actual birthday. They tell me that our Captain is Captain John on the Wonder.

 

[Michellepooh]

Just checking in - the cruise will be here before we know it!!!

I've bought most of our fish extender gifts and placed an order for the actual extender, so I think I'm all set with that.

Bill- hope Mammaw is feeling better each day!

 

[3DAN]

They tell me that Mammaw is getting stronger. I haven't spoken with the therapist , yet. 102 in four days.
Bill

 

[emtee63]

We will be there too! Myself, DW, DD(16), & DD(6). This will be our first DCL cruise but our 3rd overall cruise.

 

[owensjro]

Welcome aboard. Our DD is 6 as well. She's looking forward to meeting lots of new friends on this cruise!

Jim

 

[owensjro]

Ok, I'm not officially ready to go on vacation. Our cruise docs just arrived.

Now to start packing!!

Jim

 

[3princessMommy]

Cruise docs!!! Really?

Maybe ours will actually arrive before we leave then. It normally takes mail two weeks longer to reach us from the States. We're leaving here on May 24, so maybe we'll get lucky!

emtee63: We have a DD6 too! Sounds like the Club will have its hands full!
