This is all we know so far!!

Peter,

Just realized I had an error in the posting. The last semi-formal night is not the at sea night, it's the Villefranche night.

I was looking up something else and ran across this posting on PC Mag about cellphone unlocking. Thought some might find it useful. Here's the link.

Just wanted to say hello, it's been a busy weekend. I installed a new wireless router today, ran, and did a little napping.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Trying to catch up...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to catch up on things. To update I broke my left ankle and severly sprained the right on Friday the 13th. I fell off of a curb as I was about to get into my car. This is my first broken bone...I have great timing, don't I! I'm starting to use crutches. I don't think I need the wheelchair anymore. I hope to be in an air cast and only using a cane by the repo. I've extended 4 days in Coronado. We'll all fly backto Virginia together on Thursday. Our packers start next Monday. It's crunch time. I was pretty well organized so hopefully things will go smoothly despite my injury.

Please sign us up for the PJ party and the Magic Fountains and anything else I may have overlooked.

We're so ready for this trip!

Glad to hear you're getting up and around! You deserve a medal for being so calm about it! Good luck with all of the packing. At least you've picked a wonderful place to be while you're "homeless".

Hi Kathy,
I will sign you up for the party- no worries. Sorry you're and it all happened on Friday the 13th . Yikes!

Nurse Celeste says....when it comes to sprains or injuries remember the word RICE

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

Don't go too fast too early, or you'll pay for it in the long run! If you do have to have a fiberglass cast- see if they have DIS GREEN!

It will help bring down the swelling on the sprain. Good luck!

I just got in from shopping for the cruise. At least that is the excuse I am using. Wow lots has happened since Friday on here.

Let's see. I got 2 new pair of shoes - now to break them in and a sarong (sp?) - wrap to cover my legs for those church visits. I also picked up some of the lotion that has built in tanner. We will see if it works and if I don't turn orange. I remember when the self tanning stuff first came out - yikes - not pretty. Also ordered my contacts. Did some window shopping for shorts and tops... I am waiting till closer to the cruise as I am trying to lose 10 lbs for the cruise. Phew that was exhausting. Oh and BTW - I chopped of 10" of hair the other week too. Figured less hair would be better for the trip.

I can't believe how close the trip is getting. It seems like only a few months ago I just booked it but it is actually almost a year ago. I am getting very excited.

I feel your pain.... I actually drove to Kohl's and didn't go in; I turned around and went home. I have bought so much "stuff" to outfit all 6 of us (plus Gpa & Gma), I thought what really do I need?

Of course it then becomes about what kind of sale or deal I might miss. The good shoulder angel one that one and I went home

As for the hair , I'm still too chicken until I lose the weight.... The stress gets the better of me and I eat... Oh well, guess my sister will be doing a lot of french braiding....lol

Kathy (Littleowensmommy) - Best wishes to getting healed quickly. I had a friends mother in a wheel chair in Disney Word years back after doing something similar.

When I last checked you were in a room diagonally across the hall from my father and I. If you are having a hard time getting around please do not hesitate to ask for help. My dad is up at the crack of dawn and always hitting the beverage station and getting some breakfast snacks and would be more than willing to grab some extras of anything.

My mom did the last DCL in a wheelchair. The biggest problem was getting down the hallways (minor) and where to store the wheelchair (the rooms are small). Sometimes we stored it in the hall, but heard someones wheelchair had been hijacked. (A good idea is to have your name on it multiple places, including ribbons.) We wound up just moving it around the room depending on what we were doing.

Don't forget room service

If you do have to have a fiberglass cast- see if they have DIS GREEN!

It will help bring down the swelling on the sprain. Good luck!

Is that the Magic of DIS Green?

Hope you get better soon Kathy. What a place to rest up - The Magic and DCL

Yes, it is well proven that lime green has healing powers!!

Hi everyone,

Just checking in.

Kathy, here's some pixie dust for a speedy recovery My mom fell 2 weeks ago and ended up with stitches in her lips and broken facial bones etc. DMom told the ER doc that she had to be better by May 24 because SHE WAS GOING on a DCL cruise. She is recovering and here's hoping that you too will be recovering shortly.

Peter, We're doing the "Hope we don't lose power before the rain stops dance." When we moved in the neighbors said, "you don't need a sump pump!" Yea, right. We get water every time it rains a lot. The pump can usually handle the water in the sump hole. GOOD LUCK!

The kids ended up getting the day off from school because of the weather. Poor kids will have to go to school until 6/15 NOW!

Kids and DH are almost ready to start packing. I have to pick up a few things. Anybody packing pirate stuff? I don't think the costumes will be making the trip this time.

The 8 of us will be attending the Magic Fountain performance. We're also going to try to make the Catalan dancing.

# 21 When is the lifeboat drill?
5:45 PM, however the announcement begins at 5:15. Shipboard services are suspended from 5:15 pm to 6:00 PM. This is DCLs info on “missing” the drill. With the recent sinking of the boat in the Greek isles, it would probably be a good idea that everyone go just to make sure they know where their lifeboat station is.
The safety drill is very important and the ship strongly suggests that everyone participate. Safety regulations are taken very seriously onboard.


If we dont have to be on the ship til later that evening, How do they think this is going to Work???

I imagine a lot of people don't know that you can come and go as you please until 9pm. I would never bother walking off the ship in Port Canaveral. Yet with this cruise, I look at "check-in" as: get my KTTW cards and DDs wristband, dump the luggage and go back into Barcelona for fun!

If Sardana dancing is at noon, that's exactly what we'll do. If it's at 6pm (which it has been lately), we'll probably skip the Sardana dancing and do the Aquarium at noon instead. Or, if we're really jet-lagged and tired of "sightseeing", we'll hang out at the pool. Decisions, decisions! As much as I hate the lifeboat drill - with DD and her needs it'll probably be important for us to go.
