May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 7

We bring a great soft sided cooler and fill a large gallon size bag of ice to keep inside the cooler box and it will stay cold enough for milk.

Great idea! We have never brought a cooler before. Can someone post a link to a good one? I think we will this time. I might bring some cans of diet coke on board. Sometimes, the fountain drinks get too syrupy (sp?).

I just can't wait for this cruise! I packed the pirate chest suitcase last night for the kids Easter gift. I think we will make a treasure map and give it to the kids after they find their easter baskets and tell them how this Easter is special and we gave them a gift but they have to find it first and we hide much better than the Easter bunny! I can't wait to see their face when they see the pirate chest...the eldest will probably guess what it means. But once they open it, Carol's handmade fish extender is in their with her note "Hope you have a Magical Cruise!" Boy, will they be excited! And then finally I can start packing! I laugh when I write that as I think most people don't think packing 50 days out would be "finally"!! But it is for some of us!

We can have our own banner around our lifeboats! 'Get me out of here'!!!

Cute idea!

Glad you all had a great time. Am looking forward to the pics! Wanna define "chilly"?? It is currently only 10 degrees F here!! Your weather sounds like T-shirt and shorts to me!! Uh oh! And as I look outside we are getting another light dusting of snow, again.

Ugh 10 degrees!! It's in the high 30s and low 40s on Long Island this week. Thank goodess, because it costs so much to heat the house when it's cold!

here's Skyler the birthday girl.

Great pictures V!


Happy St. Pat's Day everyone!

Ours is the 9pack - it fits perfectly in the cabin coolers. you can keep it open or closed inside the cooler by using the gallon size ziplock. Refill the ice once per day. These soft sided coolers are supposed to keep ice for 24 hours. We've had it for several years now and it holds ice for more than 24 hours. We also have the 18 back pack cooler. We thought we'd use it on long excursions on the Med trip and ended up never using it. Maybe a larger family would use it more than we did. It's really nice.

Quoting myself
Hey Karl (Surf2di4) - this is what I was telling you and Robin about yesterday.

After we parted I though of another really important thing to tell you about.

Get a see through over the door hanger to put on your cabin door to hold all the little things that float around your room - brushes, toothpaste, shoes, keys, goodies. It's well worth the space in your luggage.

Also, I bring a door stop. The doors are heavy and hard to hold open. Especially when the wind is blowing through from the balcony.

What about some crime scene tape and we can just take as much area as we want.

My Husband is a sergeant for the police dept here. I bet he can get us some!!

Ok, so I had to go see my grandmother in the ICU last night. She fell off her front porch going after my cousins toddler. She caught him and he is ok but she hit her head and had to have 19 staples. She opened her eyes yesterday and is responsive and starting to breathe on her own. They said it she hadn't caught the baby he would not have survived. She aspirated in the ambulance. Everyone is trying to keep their sprirts up. They are trying to bring her off the sedation but she keeps trying to pull out her IVs. This happened Ths. night and I found out last night b/c my dad couldn't remember my phone number. My Uncle now has my number. I am going to the Augusta GA today at 4. Ok sorry that was so sad.

Hello all,
Sorry I have been MIA for a while. You guys move so fast it is hard to keep up! This weekend I finshed work on our FE and started to pack the boxes to send to the ship before the cruise. I have a couple questions. Is there a limit to how many boxes we can send? Are they really strict about the size of the box? I plan to send the pirate outfits, snorkel stuff, FE, and possibly formal gear. Any other suggestions? Thanks all!
Kathie

FYI for all of you that have young boys that need formal wear, I found 3 piece suits witha tie at Sams Club this weekend. The sizes ranged from 3 months to boys size 16. Prices were $25-$35 for everything.
