OK what are the packing cubes.....link please. I have the bag, but I don't have a clue what the packing cubes are.

We like these (the first set shown) and they even come in an almost DIS green:

Lisa, I don't want you or V backing out. We're going to end up doing some kind of a party because that's what everybody wants. I think the easiest thing to do is just buy a bottle of something onboard and bring it to the party. Drink whatever you like and share it if you want. That's it. Forget about an official tasting and just keep it simple and informal. That's what I think.

I'm good with whatever is decided....I'm being Gumby! HA HA...(flexible).

 

[LiserAnn]

It is done!!!!

She looks so cute, love the new style and what a wonderful thing she's done for someone else!

 

[LiserAnn]

Well, Lisa, I am sure I could help you pack that for our dinner drinks!!!

Come on over girl...you'll know where to find me. Seriously, I plan to take it on the plane. I think I'll fill it with our Friday night/Sat morning necessities, put our airplane travel clothes in one of our expandable suitcases and voila, we'll then have an empty cooler ready to fill with the wine bottles that we have Karen ship to the Hyatt. How's that for a dual use item?!?! By the way....shouldn't we think about what wines we want to order?

Sounds like you are all prepared, I need to get in on that exel spreadsheet of yours!

 

[CruzDirectorKaren]

I think we all need copies of Lisa W's and Kelly's spread sheet so we aren't missing anything.

We were going to ship our FE gifts ahead because they are rather heavy but now we will just distribute them between our suitcases for the plane. All this means is that I will be able to buy less on trip and that won't make my DH unhappy.

Marilyn,

You will not go to Top Siders for formal night. We want you at the table with us. Friends we met on the 11 night and have traveled with since don't like to dress for formal night and were going to do the same thing. I told them the same thing I am telling you, wear what you would wear to dinner any other night and come. The CM's don't care and as long as you don't mind that we dress, we don't mind that you don't. I had this discussion with my mom when I got married. She wanted to wear slacks because she didn't like dresses and I was having a formal wedding. I told her that it was my wedding and if I didn't care what she wore, no one else should. We found her a very pretty pant suit.

I'm not sure where everyone on our fishmail group live, but maybe you can mail some to another member to take so you aren't taking the brunt of this.

I have decided to take my black skirt and keep looking for tops. Thanks to those who helped me there. I have some other skirts and tops that will do for normal nights. I have a few crinkle skirts and tops which are great for packing.

Not sure, I was going to leave it up to Karen, but now I think I'll leave it up to you. How many cases can you reasonably bring.....one maybe two?

Send me a PM with all your info about where you'll be staying the night before. I'll have Karen send to you directly. Then you can figure out how you want to get it onboard.

I do feel a bit sad for Karen who was getting the business for our Champagne. Perhaps some of us can put other business her way. I know i am going to get a couple of bottles(if we can actually take some in our hand baggage) to be delivered to our hotel.

I wasn't going to drink much on the Champagne girls day(can't cope with much), so don't worry about the amount belonging to me!!!!!

It is done!!!!

Thank you. I'm so proud of her determination to do this especially since she knew I wasn't ready...

I'm just so sad. I have to find the happy place in this. I'm crying for real now.

Nan, Molly has done a lovely thing there and looks fab, she really does. I think a lot of girls go for shorter styles around that age, and then grow their hair again. Most teen girls have long hair. She has a lovely heart to do this.

I'm only on page 3, so there's no telling what is to come, BUT...what am I going to do with my pink Tink costume if we cancel the champagne girls?????

We have to still get together! I have a wand and everything!!!!

Do I understand correctly that you have a Tinkerbell costume?

How could you not wear it to nearly every event on the ship, if for no other reason than to disturb people.

For starts, wear it for the lifeboat drill. Wear it to the pirate party, just to put people off balance. Wear it to the Mexican party sport a French flag.

There are probably 1001 different uses for a Tinkerbell costume.

The butterfly farm excursion. Does that only go to the butterfly farm, or does it go somewhere else? We would be interested in that excursion if it only did the butterfly farm.

[chip&dale&fun]

Oh my, she's all grown up! And beautiful.

Molly's new "do" is indeed beautiful.

Did she donate to locks of love - I missed that part if you posted...

Is the host Leo Laporte? On Sat/Sun he's on a local radio station 640 KFI and I love him! Sounds geeky but he just has such great info and he's funny too. Ok, now I sound like a real geek, don't I?

Yes. Leo has a whole bunch of podcasts all tech related that you can subscribe to at www.twit.tv. Another one I really like (tell Dr. Hug Angie) is "This week in Photography" - about digital photography.

We're waiting for Molly's 13tth birthday. At that age she can take care of it herself. I'm just not the mom to hand hold over stuff like this at an earlier age.

I told Amy we were waiting until Sophia wanted it. At the end of last year she made the decision for herself.

BTW Nan, Molly looks great - and for a wonderful cause!

Actually John... I think I could fit a bottle or two in my bra... think Madonna in the 80's........

Madonna in the 80's and bottles brings up another image . . . think "Truth or Dare" . . .

Ian, it's pink for the pink champagne girls! I personally can't wait to see Cheri in her outfit especially with her wand and pink tiara! Her name is Sassy Bubbles.....she is our mascot......you had to be on here about a year ago! Ha Ha Ha

Sassy Bubbles' assistant mascot is Cork! We've got it all worked out!

 

[gydell]

I have thought about buying some kind of rum there. Does anyone no if there is a store close to port?

We dock in the middle of town so you will have no problem.

 

[gydell]

Nan, I love Molly's new haircut!

 

[pahrumpgirl]

It is done!!!!

Nan,

Molly's hair is beautiful and i am sure someone will be very proud to wear it. Your little girl is really growing up in more ways than looks.

I'm not sure where everyone on our fishmail group live, but maybe you can mail some to another member to take so you aren't taking the brunt of this.

We weighed the package and it really isn't as heavy as it feels so I think we will be fine. Thanks for the idea, though.

I have decided to take my black skirt and keep looking for tops. Thanks to those who helped me there. I have some other skirts and tops that will do for normal nights. I have a few crinkle skirts and tops which are great for packing.

You will look great in your black skirt!

OK Girls, I wrote to Karen and Ted and informed them of our dilemma with getting our champagne onboard. I asked if they had a DCL contact that could help us out since they have done this many times in the past.

Marr, you try to reach your contact person also and see what they say.

With all of our attempts, something will work out and we will make this happen!

I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from Karen. Marr, let us know as soon as you hear back from your contact peson also.

Have a great day everyone......Sassy Bubbles, not to worry.....we will get this party going no matter what!

One more thing, Marr, could you add to the first page that we're going to be doing our tasting on PC crossing day at 4pm happy hour! Place is yet to be announced. Thanks.

PJ I think it's already on the calendar right. Thanks.

We've been using packing cubes for years. PackItCubes

Woody,

Interested in knowing more about why you find the cubes useful. How do you use them?

 

[lillygator]

nan - Molly's hair looks great...I know how you feel though, I miss Samantha's hair.

John is taking the girls to school and I actually made it to work at a decent hour!

 

[mishoe01]

You don't want to see a bunch of winos going commando with lime green faces?

That would be a sight, wouldn't it!

Whooo Hoooo!
