May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 12

What do you take? I'm thinking:

Underwater & regular camera
Suntan lotion
Sunglasses
magazine (wishful thinking!)
Sand toys
Snorkeling stuff - which reminds me I have to find the boys snorkeling stuff...or should I just rent???
Life jackets for younger ones
water

Not sure if I should bring a change of clothes when we go to the other ports to change into after hitting the beaches....

I thought they had sand toys there. Should we bring some?

Every time Ian has a clever post I keep thinking we should change these threads into a book! I wonder if it would be possible...kinda of like a screenplay or something and then we can have it for memories sake. When I have ideas like this I wish I didn't have a J-O-B!

Amy is yelling at me for coughing too much! I've caught something probably because of being too wiped out and spending too much time at the hospital. Started myself on my Z-Pack prescription yesterday.

Checked in on him this morning - still holding vital signs. We also made plans for my dad while we are gone. He is going to VA to stay with my sister. I bought him a non-stop ticket from Cleveland yesterday. Of course, I am assuming Manuel will still be in the hospital at that time - but Manuel has a great support group of friends that has told us not to worry, they will make sure he is visited and taken care of.

John, wonderful news that Manuel is still holding vitals. Now, take care of yourself and get better!

Didn't work for me . . . .

me either John

Thanks. I am so looking forward to the trip. It should be a blast. How will I find other dis-ers on the ship? I think out of the loop is an understatement for me.

LIME GREEN LANYARDS

OK - bear with me if I get these wrong -

I swear I thought your two were teenagers - imagine my surprise when I saw your kids - BTW, just want to confirm that I can post your kids too? If so - just let me know.

Here's the first one -

You can post all the pictures you want, especially if we look like teenagers!

ARGG! I can't find a size 10 of the captain's outfit anywhere! I know there was one when we last went on a cruise as I was going to get it for my nephew. http://www.dressmeupcute.com/product/BT029042
That site only has up to size 5. I know they make them bigger - I have size 7 in my kid's closet so I know they exist!! What a pain. Now I have to rethink semi-formal..I guess the three younger ones can have the nautical, and the older just a blue blazer??

Yeah work on that would ya. I go back sometimes and laugh all over again!

 

[fourmcds]

Same for me.....left on the 18th and is still in Jacksonville. I'll have it on the 23rd.

Here is the freaky thing for me, mine with the correct number comes up with nothing....I accidentally inverted 2 of the numbers and it says it left orlando and is arriving in Lynnwood, WA on Wed. So, either there is someone else on our cruise with very similar numbers to me in Lynnwood (about 90 min away) or someone in Lynnwood is getting my docs. I'll probably email my TA tomorrow and see if she has heard anything. At least I know I am not alone

That would be alright, would he have the hat on?

Do you have a tailor? They will make you one. Same thing happened with Brent's. They didn't make it larger than a 4 so our tailor made a new one to fit
him. I bought all the material and trim. The tailor used the old one for the pattern.

Didn't work for me . . . .

I am pleased to heard about your brother

Our son, Cameron (10) will also be dressing up for pirate night. You may have seen/met him at the DIS meet.

Joseph

Our son Keith (11) will be dressing up too and Olivia well.

Do we know who are Captain will be? I was going to order the certificates. Lisa

Yes, I wonder that I think Tom?

Yours are there with mine. I bet Deborah's and her friend Alison's are there too.


Wonder who will get them first. Sound like it will be you.

I think Alison will get it last because they lives in a Farm, David is a farmer!!

Now that's the strangest thing. It is possible that it is yours and they just inverted the numbers when they entered it. I'm sure you'll get yours on Wednesday just like the rest of us.

That's right - yes, he will have the hat so probably not that different. I can get a blue bowtie and everything.

Good suggestion...but boy am I lazy. Not sure if I want to try to figure out the material part...

Yes it will look fine and you can use it again on another night.

 

[scottishwee35]

Probably not us because there's no-one here during the day if they need signing for.

ask neighbour to sign it for you? as it happened twice that neighbour signed it for us.

I just remember now that my neighbour are on holiday this Wed am

Mary,

I finished one dress and another one almost finish that is harder but got help, get there.

Finished with Fish Extender well.

Take the old one with you to the fabric store and they will tell you what fabric and how much.

 

[scottishwee35]

bags - actually I have a list of stuff to take in bags...last time, I forgot sunscreen and John was not to happy running back to the ship.

Make a list
