Someone from the cruise line just got in touch with us about getting another ressie for Palo and our Brunch. We have the Romance Package and we were not able to book Palo's. We got shut out! Well they took care of of! Thank goodness. I was willing to CA the plan but they came through. Please anyone put me on your prayer list my back has REALLY started to act up and I am unable to move without servere pain. I know I overdid some things like packing but it had to be done. I Know I have a few day to recoop but any prayers will be appreciated. I went to bed in tears the last 2 nights. So I am looking forward to a relaxing time. I can't wait to meet you guys. See you soon!

It's getting so close I can smell the sea air all the way from PA!! He He!!

I got through dropping off ds5 at his last day of preschool earlier without tears (that would be my tears). He's the "baby" in our family. I never got upset when he was out of diapers, his crib or weaned (I was thrilled!) but somehow this last day of preschool has made me a little emotional. I think I need more sleep than anything!

Hanover, I feel your pain. I am taking my dd to her Kindergarten visit on Thursday morning. I am not going to be able to handle seeing her in such a big school. Daycare is one thing, but the public school is so big! I just can't seem to picture her there! Tears will be shed on Thursday for sure!!

 

[mommom&poppop0304]

Well V-man 2 more days and we will be on our way to Florida gawd I wish we were there now...LOL...we are packed and waiting.

It's passing through Egg Harbor Township as well!

My friend's last day of work is today! And, according to her, it couldn't be soon enough!!

My DH's last day of work is tomorrow, thank goodness!!! He's been working almost 14 hours a day!!!

Me, I'm just on cloud 9. We leave the day after tomorrow! That's cause for a celebration.

Good Morning, Dad!

I saw the brush fires on Good Morning America this morning. Are there alternatives to getting to the Radisson instead of I-95?????? I'm starting to get a little worried.

Check this website out, it gives up to the date info: http://www.fl511.com/ I've been keeping an eye on it, plus my mom is keeping an eye on the local news stations as well.

Teri, you do have grandmom's and my cell # in your cell correct??? If you run into problems call grandmom or me.

Tomorrow is my last day of work as well (until after the cruise that is)!!!

 

[mommom&poppop0304]

Thanks for that info V-Man!

 

[Can't W8]

Thanks for the link for us to check the roads. It will definately be helpful as time gets closer for those of us that are not leaving until Saturday :-(

I'm getting jealous with all this talk about everyone only having today or tomorrow to go. Next time we leave earlier.

Does anyone know, do they supply toiletries on the ship like they do in hotels? With 3 of us in a room, if I don't have to pack all that shampoo and conditioner, it would be great. Especially since the airlines have gotten so picky about the weight of the luggage.

 

[ragdoll]

Can't W8, looks like you and I will be all alone on the DIS on Saturday. Make sure to check in. I'm so glad that we are taking DCL transportation so we do not have to worry about getting to the port with all of the fires. DCL does supply a shampoo that supposedly has conditioner in it. I always bring my own after having tried theirs. I am not fussy about shampoo but I really hated that stuff. I have a curly perm and could hardly get the comb through my hair after using it. However, I love the lotion that they supply.

Nutz4dzny, I'm so sorry that you are in pain. Hope you feel better soon. Try to get as much rest as possible and imaging yourself lying under the warm sun on a beautiful beach in the Carribean.
