No documents yet, but they probably go to the travel agent first.


Ok I could not get to sleep last night, all I could think about about was all the things that I need to add to my packing list, and where all the summer stuff is. I of course cannot find my youngest's sandals. How is it all going to fit into 2 or 3 suitcases?

Question for Target shoppers, can you get Webkinz clothes at Target, my oldest is obsessed about getting clothes for her Webkinz, and I can't find them anywhere here in Canada?

Hey Lisa, Webkinz clothes are here at local Hallmark stores. Do you have them there?

I got my documents today from my AAA agent. Very excited. Just waiting for my energy levels to come back up from my latest chemo and I will be able to start packing!

now the countdown can really begin...

time to get serious about packing

I put a call into out TA.
WHERE'S OURS??????????????

 

[mkmommy]

Wendy- hope you are feeling ok, do you have anymore treatments before the cruise, make sure to take things easy. Thanks for the tip I will have to check out the Hallmark stores.


So what is everyone looking forward to most. We were talking tonight and the girls are looking forward to the sail away party and also the Pirate Party and I am looking forward to the fireworks. It is going to be a great time.

Anyone know what the weather has been like? I had some friends come back last week from a Western Cruise on RCI and I guess some night were pretty rough.

No, no more treatments before the cruise. I should be good to go. My DD is looking forward most to the club and the dolphins.

It's a little early to be predicting weather. I think it will be nice and warm though.

 

[retiredkid]

I'm most looking forward to Key West and CC.
Poor DH doesn't know a lot about this whole trip, other than I have a bunch of surprises in store for his BD. I guess I'm also looking forward to his reaction of the stateroom being decorated and full of gifts/treats. I pick up our documents today YAY!

2 Weeks to go

I had a productive day, while the girls were at gymnastics I had an hour and a half to read my Passporter Guide, there is so much to do on the Magic, it is going to take some co-ordinating to see all the must do's.

I also got out all the summer clothes and picked what is going. I hate to say this, but I think laundry is going to be part of this vacation, I just don't want to take enough clothes for 11 days, and I know my girls cannot wear a tee shirt 2 days.

Have fun getting organized everyone, hopefully no will get too stressed out trying to get ready.

Yay, doing the doc dance!

We got our cruise docs and we're so excited...just a couple more weeks. I'm going to be a wreck by the time the cruise gets here...but once I step on board, all my troubles will melt away.

Can't wait!

 

[disneyfaninaz]

We are officially under 2 weeks to go! I just ordered my basket from Shirley. Can't wait for my DD to find it.

 

[mkmommy]

Still no documents, my TA says there were only mailed to her on Friday, so I should be getting them by the end of the week. I sure hope so, not too worried about the cruise portion just the hotel, as I know what can happen there.

Has anyone seen any of the weather forecasts? Not looking like it will be terribly warm on March 8, I think it was 70 as the high in Orlando might have to pack more pants.

Ouch, just looked at the weather (wunderground.com). Looks like rain in Grand Cayman every other day for the next 10 days, temps in the 70's in key West. Since we're getting yet another 5 inches of snow today in Ann Arbor, I was really looking forward to HEAT and SUN. Well, we'll do a weather dance in our lime shirts first thing on the boat, maybe the weather fairies will listen.

Anyone else doing the Pirate scavenger hunt in Key West? DH and I are taking our youngest (DD6), as well as 4 nieces and nephews while our oldest two go on the Thrill boat with grandmother. I'm wondering if we really needed to sign up for this or if it's better to just walk around Key West ourselves with them.

 

[mkmommy]

A week tomorrow we are heading out of winter, and we are in need of some sunshine.

We have no plans for Key West, looking at other people's trip reports it looks like it will be easy to walk around, any one know what time the ship departs Key West, and what time the sun sets that far south, really starting to notice that it is getting dark later.

[disneyfaninaz]

Anybody look at the temps for Cozumel. According to Accuweather, it is going to be in the high 80's with a feel like temp of 108 degrees. Ouch!! Fortunately, we're used to the heat, it's the humidity we can't tolerate!

I have sunset at 7:33 PM. All Aboard is at 7:30 PM.

 

[disneyfaninaz]

We are in single digits!

Doing the single digit dance!!

Guess I'd better watch what I wish for, eh?
We are hopping excited around here. Found fun mask/fin/snorkel sets in self-contained backpack at Costco for the kids so that we don't have to worry about rentals. I'm bringing way too much stuff....!

 

[mkmommy]

Pat join the club, I have way too much stuff, the worst is all the shoes, I have this dream that I am going to have time to go to the gym there, so I need runners too I finally found the sand buckets so I now think I have located everything, I just need to wash and pack it all.

Wendy I like your forecast much better, I am not worried about too hot, it is the forcast I saw for March 7 in Orlando for lows of 49, hoping to take in Spectromagic at the Magic Kingdom that night, and that is jacket and glove weather, which adds to the too much stuff problem.

It has been so cold here this week, we really need to warmth. The girls are getting excited and not sleeping well, so lets hope they do not get sick.

Lisa

 

[disneyfaninaz]

Don't worry. It won't get down to 49 until the wee hours of the morning. It will probably be low 60s high 50s for Spectromagic. I would bring a sweatshirt. We are in the same boat for Thursday night for the P&PP. It's going to be in the 60s.

 

[charpie127]
