HI Dad.

What about you grownups? Once the kids hook up, come on up to the adult area for martinis...

We look forward to some down time and will find our way there for a cold drink for sure! Have all the stuff piled up. Now just have to get it in the bags by Tuesday afternoon when we head for the airport.

Your Itinerary is almost a complete copy of ours Buck, things are getting crazy here!

Except your heading to Barcelona and we are heading to Paris!

However if you want to head over to DLP from the south of France you can meet TDC Nala & Improvgal & my tribe for lunch at Walts on Sunday!

Anybody interested in having a DIS meet on the first sea day, June 28? Let's say 2 PM at the family pool area on deck 9...drinks for the adults, ice cream for the kids...maybe a bit of ice cream for the adults too...wear your Rodneys or maps if you've got 'em.

Well, I finally ordered our shirts. Better late than never I guess. To everyone who is leaving in the next few days... Have a great trip. We'll see you on the 28th!

Question: I know I've read to take your prescriptions with you, but hubby and I take several medications and we usually carry a few of each in a flat box type dispenser. Saves room instead of taking so many bottles. So, will we have problems with customs or any international fellows? I don't travel overseas often but I sure don't want to be held up over Motrin!

Hey everyone!

Couple of things... TDC Nala, my husband and I will be one of the few WITHOUT kids.... you find us at quiet cove... martini or tropical drink of the day in hand (which day is Slacker Slurpee day?)

Micluver.... unfortunately, you will need that RX with you. It would be terrible to get to the airport only to have your pills taken away! I carry diabetic stuff and they don't hassle me but I've got my prescription stuck to the outside of each item.

Rjayl? Are you leaving tomorrow? Bonjour, mes amie! Enjoy Paris! May the weather gods look upon you as you gaze from the Eiffel Tower. One of life's greatest moments. I hope the kids appreciate the wonders they get to see. Are you planning on blogging during your trip?

I am a true slacker and did NOT order a tshirt! So.... I will look for all of you at the family pool Sea Day at 2 pm. Julie

I have seen the navigators. I think I will be playing a lot of pub trivia.

Wow, that never occured to me!! Go to DLP from Aix? Haanng on!!! . After consulting DW, ahhhhhhhh no.

But we will be at the Dis meet and many other encounters throughout the cruise and look forward to meeting everyone.

Just to much added to an already busy week and the need to relax before the busy cruise

Boy you were all chatty after I logged off last night!
Busy day today taking care of pets, have to get Euros & other sundry items!
Flying out tomorrow around dinner time or midnight Parisian time!

I have 2 girls, 7 & 9. Younger one is very girly, but older one loves playing Nintendo DS so usually hangs out with boys who play as well.

Where are you getting your Euros? I am thinking of just doing it at the airport since they offer a 25% discount on the commission for having a AAA card.

Bank of America paid about 1.4

Bank of America paid about 1.4

I used Bank of great rip offs also for euros!! Really liked the ease of ordering and pick up.

I will not be using their card outside of the USA!!

I called the three card carriers I am taking to let them know that I will be in Europe with the card when it is being used so please do not shut down the account.

Took less than a minuet to take care of Capitol one and Disney Visa. It took 20 minuets to get someone at Bank of America who could handle the task of noting it on my records. Worse than calling the IRS I swear.

Where can we see the navigators?

Navigators not crocadiles http://www.allearsnet.com/cruise/medcruise/mednavigators.htm

Yeah I will be using my B of A ATM card in France Paribas Bank no charge no fee! I had to talk to 2 different departments so that it was cleared for use!

 

[ImprovGal]

Eek! Only 3 more days!
My Rodney shirt arrived. Yippee!!!
However, I don't know if I'll be able to make the gathering on 6/28 at 2pm (navigator from the 5/26 11-night has a Destination Lecture at that time). I'll be sure to wear Rodney that day, though, and will pop by afterward to say hi to any stragglers.

Thanks for the great advice. Hadn't even thought of calling the credit card companies. Took care of that this afternoon. Now, only 4 more days and we'll be heading to DLP.
