Marilyn, it is packed in a triangle tube. about 16 inches long, and about 3 across, very easy to pack along the side of a suitcase.

I am very comfortable with packing it. It took about two weeks to arrive in Canada.

On looking at the ordering details on one page you have the option of having a 'special title' (40 characters). What is this?

How much did it end up costing with mailing over there?

omg, what can she eat? poor thing!

 

[hawkaye19]

We have to read every label of everything we buy...as the note says....can contain...not all do...but I would say most do....

so we always have our reading glasses on when we go shopping

I bought her one of those puff pastries the other day and guess what....sulphites

 

[Making_Memories]

yes they have told me that they will transfer from the ship to Grand CA for us.

that reminds me I need to cancel this, I'm riding with Marr in style.

Then there are the medications.

Antiemetics (taken to prevent nausea), cardiovascular drugs, antibiotics, tranquilizers, intravenous muscle relaxants, analgesics (painkillers), anesthetics, steroids and nebulized bronchodilator solutions (used for treatment of asthma)

I thought they were getting stuff from the FG teams. I know our team is doing for the kids.

They may get from some teams but thought this would be a little extra something for the children and other interested adults.

 

[Disney Rocks]

I think the kids would like it but I do not have a fish extender. What can I do? I'm not doing the other gift thing because I can't even pack the clothes we need but I think the kids would like this. Also, do you send 15 gifts to the same person or a different kid everyday? I mean do you just buy 15 of the same thing or 15 different things?

You could hang anything on your fish: bag, etc. It doesn't have to be a fish extender. Also, people could put their gift in a bag with a handle or elastic and loop it over the doorknob or fish. We can work around this.

It is 15 gifts to the same person. Then you would meet the person who is your Secret Mickey at the end.

As many have said 5 Weeks from this moment I should be checked in and on my way to "Mombo's" on the beach for my first Vacation beverage

P.S. sweety I have a new cell number for Sandy and texted her a birthday wish.

I'm right there with you at Mombo's baby......cheers!

I'm glad you were able to get a new cell number for Sandi and texted her a happy birthday wish!

I've already broken into having to have 2 cabins, so throw in one more extra head count shouldn't be too bad. College...now THAT is another story! I'm encouraging my kids there is more to life than being educated! Seriously, I just heard of a local kid that got a FULL scholarship to Stanford as an "equipment manager." So I'm thinking I can get my kids in some sort of bat boy scholarship path.

Lisa

Good plan, I'll tell Molly, she is really a good suck up too, right Kelly

 

[Making_Memories]

I hope my GC reservation is ok, I never paid anything on it, they took my cc number and said to pay at check in, I did this last July/August I think.

You are good since you got in before they required a deposit.

 

[Disney Rocks]

Sounds like each child gets one other child, then drops 8-15 small gifts/notes/crafts through out the cruise. I think there will be an exchange of info, ie. age, gender, basic interests(?).

Pj

This is exactly right.

NOBODY......

I have not watched a baseball game on TV since 1994, when the players strike prevented the Expos from possibly going all the way....best record in baseball and they were on a roll

I took Liam to a few Ottawa Lynx games, but after watching the complete lack of talent the Expos, Orioles and finally the Phillies sent to Ottawa...we stopped going

I was a huge baseball fan for years...even went to Fenway Park for a game....right beside the Green Monster...but now all I do is coach my son's softball teams..

I had a sneaky suspicion that might have been the case by your comment....let's place the ax in the sand and all root for the home team, my team that is GO GIANTS

 

[nskjerven]

Who else wants to do breakfast with Marilyn and John before they leave LA on Wed May 28th??? So far it's me and John and Woody and Mrs. Woody and Tammy Alphabet and daughter. Anyone else want to come???? Tammy, will your son be joining us too? What are your kids names?

I do, but I'll be at my desk sorting thru all my mail from 2+ weeks of vacation

 

[nskjerven]

Monday

[nskjerven]

You people talk a LOT! Thank goodness I can multi-task during my morning meeting...
