March 25, 2006- Anyone else?

[geffric]

but what are "talk abouts"?

Talk Abouts are Motorola walkie talkies that we and 1/2 ship use to keep track of the kids. My kids have to call me when they change locations. On the sports deck, there is a stack of them in various colors belonging to different kids. So I try and make ours look a bit different . Also, DH and I use it to tell the kids when we are going to lunch or movie etc, so they know where we are too.

minneapolismickey thanks..

geffric, thanks. Were bringing our walkie talkies for the same reason. I assume there's a stack on the sports deck where the kids leave them while they play basketball or whatever.

Hi Guys- I've been packing today and I'm really stressing over how much luggage I've got!! I've got 2 large suitcase, 1 carry-on size suitcase, 1 medium duffle bag, and 1 garment bag for our dress clothes. This is way more than I have ever packed for any week long vacation for the 4 of us. Does this seem like way too much to you guys? How much luggage are the rest of you packing?

See you Saturday!!

yep I have way too much stuff too... I don't know what it is going to end up in suitcases yet, I just have things staged but I keep adding to the piles...

but as I pack on Thursday night.. we will see what gets left behind. I already figured that we are buying some T-Shirts at the various ports , so i am able to decrease the t-shirt load... But just with dress clothes for the 4 of us, it takes up a boatload of room...

Sounds like everyone is busy getting ready for our cruise!

gimpeaux - the wristbands look great!

riggins - I am thinking the same thing about the luggage and packing. I was planning to bring a suitcase for me and one for DD and then a carryon, but the shoes alone could probably fill a suitcase! We are planning to bring along our snorkel equipment (just can't bring myself to pay $25 to rent equipment on CC). I need to take a second look at clothes and shoes and see if we can forego taking some of the stuff. As much as I say I am not going to overpack, I always do!

minneapolis mickey - I am in the northern suburbs so I know what you mean about all the snow. I had spring fever so bad about a week ago when it was in the 50's. Getting 14+ inches of snow this past week sure put a halt to that! But nothing cruising on the Magic won't cure! Actually, I am surprised how fast this snow is melting!

Well, I better get back to figuring out what I need to do yet this week and make a list or something. I will try to check back before we leave on Friday, but if I don't get a chance, I will see you after the lifeboat drill on Saturday!!!

 

[geffric]

Well this is IT!!! The week we have all been waiting for...


If we don't talk to each other during the week... see ya all on Saturday after the lifeboat drill on Deck 10. Have a good drive/flight.


If possible, before the early dining DISers leave for dinner, can we please have a DIS Meet photo?

See ya real soon..

I've been smiling and shaking my head, reading all your posts about the snowstorms some of you've been going through lately. Meanwhile, here in KC we've been having some early spring-like weather.

Then in the last week, I've been sent to the basement due to a tornado warning, had my roof ruined by 2 seperate hailstorms in one day, and now we've got up to 8" of snow on the way tonight.

Know what I say to that?? Time for a cruise!!!

We are pretty pleased in the luggage department. We are taking 6 bags (remember, they give us tags for 8) . This includes one large suitcase, two small duffles, a garment bag, a suitcase for the snorkle gear and a smaller suitcase for beer and wine (which can then be used for things purchased on the trip).

I agree about the shoe department. They are tucked in each bag!

This week will go by really fast for us as we get to start our travels on Thursday!

See you all really soon!

Leslie: the most important thing is to be sure your documents and anything you want on embarkation (e.g. swimsuits) are in your carry on. Also, any undeveloped film.

A DIS Meet photo sounds fantastic...I guess we should proceed from the meet then?

[lflynn]

This is probably going to be a busy week for everyone so I wanted to check in and say safe travels to all and see ya at the DISMEET!

 

[Pixie Dust II]

My husband and I are sailing on this cruise. Is this your cruise as well? Are you traveling with a large party? This is the first time for a long time that it has just been the two of us. Hoping to meet someone else going. I guess I could have waited until the last minute!!

Where will you be meeting on Deck 10 After the Life Boat Drill??




See you Saturday!

 

[minneapolismickey]

We will be meeting on the terminal side of deck 10 facing the party. (I think that is on the right when facing the band and stage). There should be a number of people with bright green wristbands on. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Between the continued cold weather and my work, this cruise seems more fabulous everyday! Anybody going to watch for the announcement on the anticipated summer 2007 cruise tomorrow?

Time to put all of that stuff into suitcases....

 

[monkeybug94]

I have a huge school project due thursday...ick...so between that and packing, I might not be able to post again before the crusie so...
SEE YA REAL SOON!!! (at the DIS meet, that is)

No Narnia?! Recent trip reports have talked about Narnia and Shaggy Dog. I wonder if these are the movies planned for the dumbotron, but Narnia and Shaggy Dog are shown in the theatre??

 

[dlf246]

We had procrastinated a bit, and went to finish up online forms and sign up for excursions... and all night, the reservation part of DCL website has been down... I hope it is ok tomorrow, as I'm pretty sure they upload the info 72 hours before.

 

[Minnie328]

Hmm.....
this is strange. I went onto http://www.cruisecal.com/dnn/default.aspx and I looked at where the Magic is on 3/29...it still says Cozumel!?!

p.s. I was hoping Shaggy Dog was going to be on too...those commercials cracked me up...lol
