No, you didn't misunderstand. She was. and then all of a sudden WHAMO! Tears, fetal position 'grammie, my side hurts'. Hopefully it is just a quickie virus (please, please, please ) and it can resolve itself quickly. This is what I am going to focus on...yup. Nothing more than a tiny little bug....squish that sucker!!!
Thanks everyone!
Mari

Ok...first update....She seems to be ok. When she first hit the ER, she was crying and complaining of pain, now, while in ER 'overflow' she seems to be doing better. They are holding off on the labs and the ultrasound...almost wish that they'd do it so that they can rule out the appy, and whatever else they can think of!!! She must be ok, she's asking for McDonalds..... doooh that'll make me sick.
Keep thinking the happy, healthy, pixie dusted thoughts....
You all are great....what a wonderful, caring, cohesive bunch of Disney o'holics...me included. No 12 step program needed...just a mickey fix as needed!
peace, love and HEALTH, Mari

Ok, it's time to start loading up on orange juice and start taking our vitamins, we have to be healthy for the cruise!!

Mari - keep us posted with any updates!!!

I am also planning a new meet for our cruise, it will be an OPA.. overpacker's anonymous. We are looking for mentors, those of you who are packing 3 pairs of shoes and are able to fit all of your stuff in one bag are perfect candidates. We can meet on our last sea day and bring our bags ,so, that we can show each other how much stuff we overpacked.

Any future OPA members out there?

I agree on the vitamins and orange juice!!!!!!!!!!!
Count me in for the overpackers meeting! I have not packed but have done it over and over in my head and I know I am overpacking.

On a side note...today a friend of mine had a great idea for the fish extender things. Her idea was to get a kids pencil bag (cheap), punching holes and hanging it by a string. But while serching in the closet for a pencil bag I found something better. My daughters had bought one of those hanging organizer thing that go in a school locker. It is a tri-folding thing, 8 inches wide, with pouches and a hook on the top to hang. It was almost perfect. I think we had gotten it at Office Depot. I then decided to dress it up a little and I found Disney iron-ons at walmart ($1 clearance section). I ironed them on and I have my fish extender. Mine is not as cute as the fabric ones but I am running out of time and needed a quick fix. Or I would not have one. Just thought I would pass that on.

Don't forget Airborne for the flight to Barcelona. We were the only ones of our group to China to use it and the only ones to not be sick while we were there (not major sick or anything just the annoying hacking cough and low grade fever). I won't fly without it anymore.

Won't be long now....

 

[cocoswife]

Never tried Airborne, thanks!!

to Airborne. I really like the nighttime one -- Apple Cider flavor!!

Good Morning Cruisers!!

Our cruise is down to single digits!!!!!​

Hi everyone

It's been a great cruise so far. The weather has been cool, but it's starting to warm up a little. Very windy.

[NejTheLion]

Thanks we also heard this last week...

nice to have the confirmation..

Cool! He was on a cruise we were on earlier (was it the first PC repo?), and I got to shake his hand after Mousketeer (I was on the panel for that round). He seems like a sweetheart and definitely deserves to be in the top 3 on Dancing. Though it's really hard to decide between the dancers now.

Hi Ken! We miss you around here.

Good Morning everyone,

to Airbourne. The kids will ask for it when someone in their class is sneezing and coughing all over the place. We like the Lemon/Lime.

Mari, HOPE you granddaughter is feeling better. My nephew had similar symptoms last month and turned out to be a virus which acts like appendisitus(sp?). Here's some pixie dust

DS is wearing some Quick Silver shorts because he thinks they're cool surf shorts. The go below the knee and they have some nice plaids.

Have a great day!

Good morning everyone - I have been traveling a lot for work, but have reading the postings anxiously. I do hope the passports arrive, and that folks get and stay healthy. Best of luck to all of those with family members needing surgery. Congratulations on the baby too! I almost forgot! We are so excited and can't wait until we leave. Airborne is great and ColdFX is also good too. We are starting on that this weekend. One more question for all you with small kids. Are you taking a car seat. DD is almost 6 and I am assuming that it will be difficult to take it on the excursions so I was thinking about leaving it home. What is the consensus?

I'd definitely leave it. My Nephew who is 6 isn't bringing his.

Well Lori??? Are they there yet??

I am an airborne (walborne) fan. I plan on starting on Monday, along with a multi-vitamin. I am also taking melatonin for the flight to help with jet lag.

I don't know.....I should start the OCPD...Obsessive Compulsive Planner Disorder......

This is totally me. I have lists upon lists of things. I have borrowed books from everyone I know. I am going to make photocopies of the pages that are relevant to this trip to bring for the plane ride.

As for the packing will have to let you know once I finish. We will see if I bring it all or leave half at home. If I bring it all I will need counseling. If I am successful in leaving half at home maybe I can help with the counseling.

Just a reminder/suggestion to al those packing -be sure and split your stuff up between two or more suitcases in case one does not make it with you. It will be so much nicer if everyone has a change of clothes in every suitcase rather than exclusively in one.
