March 15-22, 2008 Eastern - Way-Way Early Check In

[DisneyDaysLV]

March Madness--Actually Tourny finals will be Sat and Sun (3/15 and 3/16), Selecetion Sunday (3/16) and First Round games start Thursday-Friday (3/20 and 3/21), so I will be at the big screen outside every night with a beer(s)...feeling a little guilty spending $$$ for a cruise, but watching basketball. Oh well, at least can say I did under the Caribbean sky. Maybe even a rocket will fly by during a commercial break!

I'm not really an adult, but I will be getting away from the Stack some to watch the Big 12 conference tournament, get the results of the selection show, and see a few first round games.

It has been snowing since 8:00 yesterday morning! We have at least a foot of snow with two or three more inches today. It is March isn't it?

This weather will make cruising all that much better (if that's possible).

So excited

have you guys been reading the post about this weeks cruise not being able to dock at cc due to strong winds? Lets keep our fingers crossed. Paige

I did read that post Paige. I hope the person from Florida who posted a response is correct, when weather in Florida is bad there seems to always be bad currents in the ocean. I am hoping weather in Florida will be wonderful during our cruise and the nasty currents will be calm.

I know our weather is starting to improve, we are in the 20's today and the temps just keep going up and I read that Tuesday IA will have 50's! Our driveway should be clear of ice when we return home. I need to check Florida weather, it should also improve.

Tonight I start packing! Kathy

Kathy, that was me who posted that.

The weather was TERRIBLE 2 days ago (during night-time really) then today it was VERY windy. I'm guessing this won't happen 2 weekends in a row.

I'll keep you posted on the weather in Orlando!

 

[PixyDusted]

Wind seems to have subsided today....still a little chill in the air but I'm confident that should go away by tomorrow!

Thanks , keep us posted.

I bought an XL Pirate costume on Ebay. Neither my husband nor my son will wear it. Here is the description:

If anybody wants this costume for Pirate night let me know. I paid $28 for it. I will sell for $20. If nobody wants it for the cruise I will resell it on Ebay. I will send you the link to the auction if you send me your email address. LizG

Sounds like a great costume deal I wish it was a Princess costume

 

[happymommy]

A week from today, we'll be all dressed up and someplace to go!

 

[pop5]

Lets see.....next Sunday night..is that our formal night??

 

[PixyDusted]

Sunday as in the 15th? That's formal night? It should be Friday night, no?

Anyway, chilly here at night in Orlando, just in from walking our dog. It really feels like winter (I'm originally from NY)...I think it should get better. I'll keep you posted.

Sunday is the 16th, and yes, I think it's formal night.

No guilt here. I am hoping that some of the conference tournaments which end on Sat and Sun will be shown on the big screen during the day (doubtful though.) I know the 1st game of the NCAA's will be Wed (the play in game between the 64 & 65 teams). May have to catch some of the games at the sports lounge if they are not shown on the big screen. Go Bruins....

 

[happymommy]

No offense, but I don't wish to see sports on the Dumbotron! I'd understand if it were the world series or something, but college sports? I think the kids would all rather see the Disney movies!

I hope we make it to CC - feel bad for the previous week's cruise! At least I hope we have calm weather!

 

[Experiment-626]

Not too worry. The big screen only shows "sports" when there are no children on the pool deck, which usually happens in the late evenings...

Haha, thanks! It's nicer today....less windy and it's getting a bit warmer though I wore a fleece sweater to work (partially because it's a little chilly out, partially because if it's cool at all here it's an excuse to wear my winter wardrobe!). It'll definitely be warmer in the Caribbean though! My friend just got back from Miami/Ft. Lauderdale today and said it was in the 90s!

So formal night's the second evening? Fun!! I guess it will just set the bar high and allow me to wear dresses every night!

 

[tecdavidt]

Well, I just checked Weather.com, the weather Thursday and Friday look nice and warm! Low Thursday 60 and the high Friday 80. Saturday's high is 84. I hope it stays that way. Weather in Iowa is getting better each day. Yesterday was above 32! Today upper 30's. My husband told me by the midweek the are predicting 56!!! That is a heatwave for here this year.

Crunch time cruisers. We should all be gathering any last minute items either for the cruise or what ever we need for our homes to prepare for the trip. I have to go buy dog food today and restock my Pug's meds.

Gotta Go, I have packing to do Kathy
