Yep, my double digit dance starts May 16th, I've already checked that out.

Slowly but surely I'm getting back in the groove here. I was able to get some things restored in the computer before I went to bed last night. I was able to find some of my e-mail addresses when I reloaded my Webshots account. Things are starting to look up.

Happy Sailing, your cruise pins should arrive today!!!

Glad you retrieved some of the information. That's a good sign that it's still there!!!

May 1 - 18 days til my birthday! Now what the heck am I getting excited over that for?!!!!!!!!!! 25 days til Michael turns "8"! Now that's worth being excited - 10 more years and he will be an adult and we can RETIRE PERMANENTLY!

Thanks Rae, I sent that link to my desktop, now If I can remember on Wednesday??? Maybe a string around my finger???

Andy - there is no doubt in my mind that this next week, your first and foremost thoughts will be with us! And that's pretty normal considering you are the only member of the cruise not physically present.

Again, the friendships we have formed through this forum are treasures and could have only been made better with you and your family onboard.

We will all miss you - and write you when we get back so we can share our adventures/misadventures! I promise not to get "scammed" into going on a "free castle ruins excursion" by another St. Marten's timeshare company!!

Rae, thanks for the link, what a beautiful view. Is that the port we'll be coming into? And yes, Jason and Travis are lucky to be doing well. My brother and his boyfriend have been together 5, almost six years now. It's great, they have a wonderful relationship and we love spending time with them.

We are going to get tires on the saab today and finish the packing, little things now. Oh yeah, the wine, we're going to get the case of wine we are bringing.

Looking forward to meeting you guy's in person on Saturday.

Gotta have hair gel and hair spray and hair wax and brushes and combs - and oh yeah- special combs for wet hair, hair elastics, barrettes, headbands and sparkly thingies.
Don't even get me started on the makeup requirements! Underarm depodorant, perfume, body wash, body spray, facial soap, foot stop, face lotion, foot lotion, skin lotion and chapstick.
Pantihose, dress socks, sports socks and crew socks.
Strapless, backless, underwire, strapless AND backless(read glue on )
YIKES- the paraphenalia!
But we are on our way!

I am glad I have two boys!!!!
lets dance!

 

[flsuperhawk]

I am sure that my head is starting to come unscrewed. I just can not keep on one track today. Now I know I was suppose to do something but I just can't remember what it was. Oh well, I guess Bill will remind me when He gets back from the office.
For now Kids need to eat...maybe I will get hungry when I make food for them. If not, food will not be necessary...I think dancing will be!

Just over two weeks ago that was us! LOLOLOL I know the fight!

You all are going to have such a wonderful time! I wrote-up my family's experiences on the Trip Report Forum - Trip Report from Cruising with the Easter Bunny. (We traveled with a Teen, dd 16 yo.)

Take deep breaths, and drink something with rum. Medicinal only.

Good luck, we wish we could do it all over again!

What's the latest on Little Mak?!

Rae

 

[flsuperhawk]

Just got the kids down for a nap. yippie!! Now I can try to get a little bit more done around the house.
I am so very excited right now that I can't even see straight...
Maybe I should have one of those rum drinks..(for medicinal purposes of course)
Need some other ideas on how to relax when there is so little time before we begin our supercalifragilisticexpialidocious vacation!
Must dance, but I better do it quitely so I don't wake the little ones.

Jessie - You party animal!!!!


I got the Wine-O badges from Andy today - they look great! He certainly did us a great job! I think we need to hire him!
THANKS ANDY!

Okay, still haven't gotten packed.....but I guess I have 20 hours left, nothing like leaving it for the last minute.

It makes me happy knowing you like the pins!!! Little by little I'm getting programs downloaded back into my computer. I'm glad I had some things burned onto CD's.

This will be the last night home for some more of you May 3rd cruisers until after the MAGICal WINE-O CRUISE!!! Have safe travels!!! Be waiting to hear after cruise reports!!!

Will be looking at the port cam Saturday morning, hopefully the cam will be on the Magic. Several times today I tried to see the Wonder in port, but the cam was facing away.

We are heading out of town to stay over so we can catch an early flight tomrrow morning. So I wanted to tell everyone to have a safe trip and we will see all of you Saturday at the Dis meet and those of you at the Radisson...we'll see you tomrrow night.

NOW IT IS TIME TO DANCE AND ONE LAST DANCE

 

[Verandah Man]

Hey May 3'ers,

Nearing 600 replies, think we can make it to 600 before cruise time, this reply makes 594.

One more day, and a few hours to go. Who isn't excited???

Any word on Little Mak???

Andy

 

[Auntie Bon]

Not sure where Jeanne434 is but I'm sure she can come up with a few more posts before we leave tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Moosysmom]

I'll help out you May 3rd'rs. Have a great trip, driving/flying.
Hope all is well with Little Mak.

 

[rae519]

Any news about little Mak?

Tom helped me finish packing up my stuff this evening. Thank God for that man!!!!!

Michael is very excited and says that he doubts if he will be able to sleep tonight! It's tomorrow night that will have me alert!!

Hope everyone has a safe trip down!

See most of you at the Port!

Rae
