"I want my Daddy"

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

I might need a female friend to go see Enchanted with!! Don't think John will go. Could go on my own i suppose.

Take him he will like it. I didn't mind it. It's one of those that is so corny it's funny. It takes everything over the top and disney pokes a little bit of fun at itself.

I'm with you. I keep thinking I'm missing something. So I've got it all laid out on the couch. I think part of me is scared to pack it all up because then I know next week when we leave I will rip it all aprat thinking I've missed something.

I have a similar system, except I use ziploc bags. I have everything in bags by category.

I also pack instruction manuals, just in case.

ugh, Haley is sitting in the tub screaming "I don't want to wash my hair"......what a great start to the day.

That is screamed in our house every bath! I am glad I am not alone.

I hated the washing hair arguments. But no more since DD6 started washing her own hair in the shower. Sometimes DD6 & DD3 go in the shower together and DD6 washes DD3's hair. No more screaming and arguing - I love it

Congratulations to Tyler. DS tested last night, $55.00, tough to pay at this time, but we do not have to pay for the month of May. We start traveling on the 2nd. No free time left, and so much too do!

I was wondering if that was a standard fee or just at the place he goes, and meant to ask your experience too but forgot earlier. Thanks! Good to know. Congrats to Cameron!

I was watching TV last week and saw this advertised. I haven't really researched t much, but it was interesting.

The Chargepod

Now that is VERY interesting. However, the pics only seem to show devices with built in Lithium cells. And going to the product page it doesn't seem to show any adapters for standard outlet plugs. Video Camera batteries tend to need their special chargers and when you are using regular AA batteries you need those as well. Most cameras of that type don't have the option of plugging in and charging with the batteries inside.

But for cellphones, PDA's, Gmeboys and the like that certainly looks VERY intriguing! That would certainly save a lot of space for mine and Shannon's cells plus my PDA alone!

"I want my Daddy"

I get that one ALL the time!

I also pack instruction manuals, just in case.

I like the ziploc idea. Might have to head out today and pick some up. I might just steal that idea. Of course some of the essential electronic stuff will be in my camera bag as I don't want them to go missing if my luggage goes missing.

As for instruction manuals, the only one I am taking is the one for my new camera as there are still many features on there that I haven't tested yet.

I'm not bringing a sport coat. I'll have my tux and my suit and that's about it. I figure for Semi-formal night just a shirt and tie will suffice.

So when would you wear your suit?

Take him he will like it. I didn't mind it. It's one of those that is so corny it's funny. It takes everything over the top and disney pokes a little bit of fun at itself.

I'll ask him then. Monica you can still come with us, we won't be snogging or embarassing you!!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

Hehe, do you think there will be a Disney movie loving person onboard then?

Holly was going to do the late night showing of POTC with me because no way would John stay up that late(not sure I will make it actually). But Tyler is coming now so her late nights are severely cut short!

Sorry about that Marilyn!

 

[granmaz]

Sorry about that Marilyn!

Well the pleasure you will get from having Tyler with you will be so much more special for you Holly!!

This is the view from the Port Canaveral webcam!!!

Now, how exciting is that?!

 

[HollyTyler]

What type of camera is that Holly? I've never heard of a camera doing that in this day and age. Are you sure it isn't something in your settings?

You know, that was my assumption too, so I'm looking for the manual because I can't find anything in the on-screen menu selection about that. It's a Panasonic Lumix, DMC-LS75. I love everything else about it because it's 7.2megapixels and takes great pictures. I've only had it a few months, so it's not like it's too old to record sound with the video....I can't figure it out.

I'm not the best with technology though, so I do need to find the manual and see what I can figure out.

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

So when would you wear your suit?

I plan on wearing my suit for one of the formal nights. That might change depending on my mood and I might just end up wearing my tux for both formal nights which meant I brought my suit for no reason. I wore the suit for formal night on the 4 day cruise you see pictured below.

Because we are taking a garment bag for the tux, it really isn't that big of a deal to just add an extra jacket and pants.

 

[HollyTyler]

Well the pleasure you will get from having Tyler with you will be so much more special for you Holly!!

ABSOLUTELY! And he's so excited because he's been patiently hoping to return to the ship for almost 2 years now. His dad told me Tyler had a hard time falling asleep last night because he was so excited about getting his orange belt today, just imagine how excited he'll be the night before we leave for the cruise!

Going outside, it's 77 degrees here today.

Lots of yard work to catch up on.

OK, I promise this is my last picture for a while. This is from this morning:

Bummer about yard work, but enjoy your weather! It's so cold here this morning, I had to go back in and grab my jacket.
