May 26, 2007 (5/26/07) "First Magical Med Cruise!!" (The M&M's!)

[icunurse_celeste]

Just wanted to say a quick hello...

My trip home has been delayed by two days, so I will be in Florida until Tuesday afternoon. (Does anyone know when Scott & Lynn arrive)

Ken- awesome to hear about your son. I actually like watching VB- it's really cool. It was also a sport I was interested in when I was yonger- but not very good at.


T- sent you some emails.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and will have a great week!

Have a question for everyone? On our last cruise we dressed up on pirate night and it really made the night more fun for us. With so much on my packing list, I am trying hard to consolidate. The kids are bringing pirates 3 t-shirts since the movie is coming out that weekend. Can we just wear pirate t-shirts and jeans to dinner or I am going to be frowned upon? Just finding ways to cut down and with 5 people cutting back on pirates clothes would be great. But I still want to be in the spirit of the pirate night.

We are ditching the pirates costumes for this trip. They take up too much room! At least with a T-shirt you can wear it on another day too.

The exchange currently is $1.36 for €1, respecitvely €.74 for $1.

Would print out the Guest list.
Some folks will have fish extenders.
I would leave, some sort of who they are from...
so you can be thanked later..

Exchange rate has been steadily going up and up and up. By the time we leave for the cruise, the European part of the trip is going to cost 50% more than I projected just because the exchange rate has changed. It was $1.15 when I first did my budget! I finally put an exchange rate field in my Excel spreadsheet for the budget. It keeps changing my bottom line. YUCK!

Very excited, my fish extender arrived today! Now that I know about them, I will be creative and make mine next time, but for now...Ebay works for me.
On another note, this is interesting about a volcano in Italy that has erupted 3 times in 22 days!!!! First link is a video of the eruption, second link is a map of Mount Etna's location.

That was for the packing list from Hygeine99. Sorry, thought I grabbed the quote.

Is that another way for saying he's hot? Happily married mother of 4, but you can't help but notice....

Just because there's snow on the roof doesn't mean there's no fire in the furnace!

I don't recall seeing this on the packing list (I am probably mistaken):

One (two is spouse can't share!) small indiglo-type battery powered alarm clock. There are no digital clocks in the rooms and VERY few outlets to plug one in. I got a clock at Target for $6 that you press a button on top and the display lights up. VERY handy for the darkness of night, since the rooms get REALLY dark at night. Ours has an alarm setting too, I covered the speaker with electircal tape to muffle the alarm and not wake the kiddo. Since wake-up calls are LOUD after a long night! The light was also enought to safely get me to the potty... I took my mini flashlight for trips back!

You don't want to miss din-din, bingo or towel animals because you forget to look at your watch!

We're not having a first day DIS meet???

We should, maybe everyone who will be onboard can meet during the sailaway party.

I think we should meet at 3:30pm on deck 10 -midship, Dockside... We could meet up distribute any info or lists, etc. Does that sound good to anyone else?

We will probably be somewhere in Barcelona all afternoon. If we are around the ship, I will be there with the lanyards. But don't depend on it. I will still have the lanyards at the Wine party on the first sea day.

Great idea! I'm going to add it to my packing list so I don't forget. Wtih the time change I just might not wake up early enough for some of the excursions!

If I am on the ship I will try to make it... If the jetlag has gotten to me then I will most likely be on the ship, if not I plan to be exploring Barcelona.

17 days until I leave and only 13 days of work left!

Tell us the measurements, pretty please. I have the material, I'm just waiting to figure out how to make it.

Thanks!
