March 13th 2011 Fiesta time on the Wonder!

[Jonny626]

Just picked DD up from school with complaints of a stomach virus. My tummy is not feeling all too settled either. I guess it is better now than later on this week.

Oh know. I hope it's a short virus. I am suckin down Airborne all week long to try avoiding illness.

DW packed DD12, DD5 and herself yesterday afternoon. I am mentally packing thinking about what I need to take. Our flight to LA is at 6 pm on Friday. I expect I will pack on Friday. The only thing I have to make sure I have is the camera.

Not sure if Maeve is going to do the cheer. She is very nervous about it since she has no cheering experience.

As the little one says: "four days today, we go to LA".

I guess we should start thinking about the packing. Had a very busy weekend of car dealership, yard work, derby races, and a birthday party. Did make it to Costco for some "supplies" for our carry-on bag. Still need to get to Wal-Mart or Target for the over-the-door bathroom thingy and some other necessities.

Very excited and a tad nervous......

I made a check list and I am checkin it twice. It's full of great things both naughty and nice......LOL. Ok the only naughty will be the alcohol, I will leave the speedo at home, hehehe I will have the kilt though.

Four days for me too. So little time and so much to do. MOving the weekend before the trip has put me way behind on getting ready.

Trying to get my house in order today. I have a friend coming over to check on the cat for us at least three time while we are gone. I don't want the house to look as it usually does So, I must clean! I really hate leaving the cat, but we will have a good time! Maybe he will forgive us one day!

It was so warm here last week now today it is 41 degrees!!! So ready for a vacation!!

72 is the high in Phoenix today so not too bad. Still anxious to have the sea air to go with the sunshine.

If you need a sitter for your cat I am sure my German Shepard would volunteer. hehehe j/k

Not funny, kilt boy!!! My cat is old & cranky! He is an indoor car and owns this house. Actually, It is time for him to go to kitty heaven, but not that way!

Conversation between myself and DW yesterday:

Me: "So, what is the plan today?"

DW: "Well, we need one more medium suitcase to carry our stuff. Let's go to Ross while we're out today."

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER!

Anybody missing a giraffe?

​

The purple case holds makeup and such. And comes in handy when I try to hurry her. "Let's go dea-OUCH!"

I was teazin. My dog is harmless. We have a cat too, I just don't admit it

 

[hopelea]

Love it Dave!!!! Your luggage will be easily found!!

I just realized that today is my only day ALONE until March 25. Both dd's are at school. DH is at work. I work the next three days and then we are off to CA. I hope we all do well with this much family time Teenage girls are a very moody!!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!! That is too funny. Good to see a fellow Zonie with a sense of humor is gonna be on the ship. I wouldn't bring those bags near Toys-R-Us though, they haven't seen their mascot Jefferey in a while.

Me too, about the kilt......we will know who you are when we see you in your kilt! We have a family at our church that wear their kilt for the Christmas Eve Service. It is pretty cool, I think!!!

This is my one day to myself. I spent the first 2 hours of it dealing with the onerous request from my Home Owner's Association. "We hereby demand that you rid your front yard of the forest of weeds that are growing there."

They have no sense of humor, or adventure. I think it's time to buy a blow torch and some propane. Oh, and get something to get rid of the weeds. My back is sore now.

I noticed that Wonder arrived back in LA about 45 minutes later than normal yesterday. And departed last night about a half hour later than normal.

I wonder what happened.

Oh well. 3 more work nights for me, and then I'm off Friday. I will use that day to force my body back to a normal sleep/wake cycle and by Sunday I should be ready for play in the day and sleep at night. I really don't want to be roaming the decks at 2am. Although that might give me some great photos of the crew at work.

I'm sick and DW is coming down with the same thing. Sinus problems and a loss of my sense of taste and smell. I want to go eat some chips and dip, and make a milk shake, but I don't think I'd really enjoy them. I think I'll suffer through it though.

I'm really ready to have someone "Peel me a grape" though. Can't wait until Sunday.

Also, I found out that my father in law's birthday is the Saturday we are gone, so we having a dinner/party for him at a restaurant in San Pedro this Saturday evening. This should be fun.

My DD has rested all morning and now says she feels just fine. She kept her lunch down and has been bouncing off the walls ever since. I think my upset tummy was just in my head cause I knew if she had something I was next, but I too am fine!

Dave I love the suitcases! Now we will be able to spot you easily at the terminal.

Packed most of the toiletries this morning and all I have left is the stuff for the garment bag.

Very cool. I wear mine about every other weekend. My best friend is in The Keltic Cowboys, they are a great Irish rock band so I see them a lot.
And please make sure you say hi if you see me

 

[mtgdisney]

OK- Someone stop me!!!! I have been out shopping and can not let myself buy another item for the FE's!!! I am having so much fun with this but we are going to have to pack a suitcase just for FE stuff at this rate!!!
Oh well! Ya only live once and this is DISNEY!!!!
Ok- going to finish packing tonight!
Teresa

I'm with you, I have packages for 3 different days and yes I have a big duffel just for it.

Wanna borrow a suitcase? Suddenly it seems that I have a plethora of suitcases lying around the house.

 

[Dicecatt]

Love the new suitcases, Dave!

I have done nothing but lay out every princess dress we own on the couch. It is drowning in Princess dresses. It was worse until my friend Kim came by and borrowed a bunch to try on her daughter, the pile was taller than me.

Well, okay, I haven't done NOTHING. I do have a couple of laundry baskets I've been tossing things into.

Got home from the cheer competition at 6:30 AM . Hardly slept at all on the bus, I'm totally wiped out. Bummed too...DD12's team, undefeated all year, lost...they had 9.04 and the winning team had 9.07. a measely .03 points, and it was due to the judges making a mistake the day before on a deduction...they agreed it wasn't an error but wouldn't fix it because they had already released standings . Ash was really upset, but on the upside, they had a phenominal performance yesterday, maybe the best all year! And they were the second highest score of the entire day (they are just used to being the highest, lol).

I'm usually much better planned...I have so much to do before I leave Friday that I feel unsettled.

CopaDave.....too funy! Love the suitcases. Definitely will be easy to spot on the carousel. My DW came back last week with 3 new rollies for the DK's. And guess what, I spent time the past two weekends clearing dead branches and spraying weeds so I know how you are feelin! I roamed a bit on our last cruise when most folks were in bed. I found it kind of eerie to be roaming the ship when it was so quiet and empty.
