Magic Christmas Cruise 2010 (Dec 18th - 29th) **** PART III ****

[VMinick]

I've been working on a street map of Martinique to use while my family & I have our big shopping/eating adventure through Fort-de-France. If anyone else would like one when I am done I would love to share it. The phrase sheet should hopefully be done in the next few days.

I would love a copy of the map and phrase sheet if you don't mind sharing! With three young ones in tow, I'd better get organized BEFORE I get there! Thanks so much!

What a stressful year. A vacation where no one can find you will be really good for your family!

Mdargen - I would also love a copy of the street map - thanks!

I am always interested in Champagne and tiaras, so count me in for Champagne Girls! Question - will it be later in the cruise so I have an opportunity to buy French Champagne in Martinique or Guadalupe? Hate to lug a bottle on in Port Canaveral when the good stuff can be bought in "France".

I will do CC5k BOTP club too! I am a walker but keep a fairly good pace. My DH and 2 DS's will probably run it, but leave me in the dust.

We will join the Hyatt (airport) group at 7 on the 17th, even though we are not staying there. I show the following families will be there:

IceSk8ers Mom
big AWL
DVC4US
HFC1969
anyone else???

BigAWL will be at CI&S on the 17th.

We can do a meet at 7pm somewhere near the Port for those interested.

We're flying in that afternoon around 1:30, so we'll be there and rested and ready to cruise by 7pm that night!!

Well I managed to win some VIP Shuttle Launch tickets with transportation included on eBay tonight!

So fingers crossed NASA fixes everything in time and the weather behaves itself!

Congrats on getting the tickets. Wonder if our neighbor could get us some? He is a retired astronaut who spent 3 months on the Mir space station. He still goes to the Cape to work with current astronauts. DH saw a launch years ago when he was flying weather recon for it over the Gulf. He says it was amazing.

Just in case you want to do some more shopping...
I noticed that DCL added some new stateroom gifts, probably just in time for the arrival of the Dream in Jan. So, if you havn't seen the new items~ go check it out!

I am not loving Zazzle right now. If it takes me as long to run the 5k as it is taking me to try to make this tshirt...I will miss the boat and have to live on Castaway Cay.
Can anyone help me? I want to take a walking image from one tshirt and place it on the front, then take the looking backward image and place on the back. Does anyone know how to lift one image and place on another shirt? I have emailed them, but that may take a few days!!!

Colkath- if I figure this out, I would be happy to order you one and bring it down for you. It would be a plain white t-shirt. What size would you want? pm me if interested.

mdargen- I too will be watching the game today. GO BLUE!!!

So sorry if this is an old topic but when is the shuttle launch date and time?

 

[mmi]

The shuttle is scheduled for Dec. 17th around 8:45 eastern. Google shuttle launch 2010, and then go to the NASA site and you can get the exact info.

Thanks! One question - is it 8:45 am or pm?

If managers clear Discovery for launch on Dec. 17, the preferred time is about 8:52 p.m.

Ok, 13 days to go until I start my journey back to the states.

Shore excursions booked, Palo reservations made (brunch and dinner, hoping to schedule high tea onboard), wine tasting planned, custom FE and gifts ordered, pirate costumes purchased......I've got trading pins, pillow case, autograph book, and princess dresses for DD. DH tux will be delivered to stateroom. I will shop for formals in Orlando.

Never got around to designing magnets for the door. I guess I'll wing it and see what I can purchase in FL.

Is there anything I am forgetting?? So excited for our first family cruise and getting to spend the holidays with my loves!

You are going to remember to relax and have fun, right ?!?!?

Have you looked at the Spa services? You didn't say whether you booked any. At the very least you deserve a pedicure since your toes will be in sandals & not boots! I recommend the exotic rasul also. Passes to the rainforest?

 

[mickeyteachers]

I ordered tshirts last night for everyone in my family. My husband even helped design the shirts. We have the baseball type shirt and each of us have a different colored sleeve. They are really cute.

HAHAHAHA....way ahead of you. Should have mentioned that I've already booked 7 spa services....from facial to pedicure and everything in between!! Couldn't convince DH to participate, but I will enjoy every pampered minute.

 

[pennymike]

Wow! All the shirts look great! Mine has the running Mickey on front with Back of the Pack 2010" on the front &Castaway Cay 5k on the back. I bought a t-shirt and tank because I couldnr decide! we are going to be the envy of Castaway Cay.

Is there a bar on the island where we can get a celebratory drink after we crawl back to the ship?

I haven't been around much today. Busy getting read for the biggest football game of the season Ohio State Buckeyes v. Michigan Wolverines. I am a born and bred Buckeye fan and tomorrow might as well be another holiday!

I've been working on a street map of Martinique to use while my family & I have our big shopping/eating adventure through Fort-de-France. If anyone else would like one when I am done I would love to share it. The phrase sheet should hopefully be done in the next few days.

Very cool! Include me on the list, please, when you share the map and phrases. You rock!
