No way are you a lazy slug!! You need to save all the energy possible for that marathon. I'll sit at the computer and do this work, you go out and run! Computer is definately more my speed! Isn't it great that we have grown into such a large group! Remember way back when this thread was started?? What a difference!! I am so excited! 9 DAYS

So things are super busy here in Arizona! I got to meet Kadens new "TEACHER" yesterday! WoW. She is absolutely
Wonderful. I really do feel soooo much better about him going to this new school. I went to his old school and un enrolled him, Ms. Cindy (the aide he loves) came to give him his cubby with clothes. He ran up to her "MOM" he said. and gave her a big hug. He adores her. At that moment tears welled up in my eyes. I wish he could stay but its better for us all.
Did anyone look at the weather reports? One says RAINY the other says sunny! Go figure. Weather is never right anyway. Especially in Arizona. It could smell like rain, look like rain, feel like rain, but it never rains. I will say that it is HOT here. So with temps being in the mid 80's in Florida I am still going to be hot. You would think Id move to someplace cooler. I am a native, so I guess this is where I stay.
DH gets back Sunday from Chicago, then its double check packing and CLEAN my house. Nothings worse than going on vacation, coming home and having to clean. His Honeydo list is miles long. So Monday hes working on my list while I go to the salon.

Ladies -

Are you bringing any "formal" attire? If so, what? I'm so at a loss here. I'm usually a capris-and-camp-shirts-on-vacation sort of girl. A friend of mine gave me a lovely long dress. It looks black unless it moves then it's cobalt blue. Very beautiful! (Of course, until I put it on. I don't really have the figure for it. ) Anyway, just wondering what you ladies had planned....

Hi Judy!! My attire isn't extremely formal but for the 'dress up night' I am planning something a little special. We haven't had a family picture taken in a long time so I figured this was the perfect oppertunity to get dressed up (and to get my hubby in a tie! He is a carpenter- not ties needed!) So DD picked a beautiful light blue dress off ebay that she wanted and we worked our outfits around this. DH wll be in black pants and shirt and a light blue tie and I will be in black dress capris, a black top and blue jewelry. I hope our pictures come out good. Your dress sounds beautiful!! If you are anything like us, we never really have a chance to get really dressed up so I am taking full advantage. I was looking for a black dress but didn;t find anything I really liked.

Mindy, I'm glad Kaden is doing well at school. My DH has a Honeydo list for next week too! Great minds think alike! We had our salon day last Saturday. I still have to cut DD and DH's hair, though. I felt so prepared for this trip until this week. Now I am STRESSING I just keep saying: 7 days- 7 days- 7 days!!

Judy,
I plan on brining too many clothes!!! I have a different outfit for each day and evening. We packed up our costumes too, I brought a pair of boots just for it. As far as evening attire, I have 2 really nice outfits. One is a salsa looking black dress with a red satin jacket. The other is a black satin suit set I have for work, on the other nights I plan on just a business casual attire. I wanted to pack something really nice, because I plan on taking our family photo in it. We all have something packed thats red, black and white for the photo with the white backdrop.
If you dont have anything super fancy, just do with what you have and make the best of it. Unless, SHOPPING is an option. I know that Kohls had some great dressy outfits on sale for spring. Hope this helps. Min.

 

[Mommak2p]

We aren't that formal either but I bought a really nice tourquoise sleeveless dress (just above the knee) and my DH has beige pants and shirt. We are planning a formal pic with Mickey and Minnie of course!!! I'm starting to get excited!!

 

[Frequent Flyer]

We are going to dress up as well. Not exactly sure what yet. Still packing, but we will be at least semi-formal.

I went out and bought a special outfit for semi-formal night cause nothing I had nice fit and I were nothing but jeans and stretch pants cause I am around little kids all day.I'm wearing a dress shirt and slacks,couldn't find a dress that looked good.daughter has a pretty dress and hubby and son are wearing dress shirts, slacks and a tie.The rest of the dinners I am wearing collared shirts and jeans or stretch pants thats as much as I want to get dressed up on casual nights.
5 days 20 hours till we leave

Mindy- I'm so glad Kaden is in his new school.

I was not planning on bringing anything really dressy. Just some summer type dresses. I hope it is dressy enough. I can't believe it is only 1 week away. Hope you all are not getting too stressed.

You will see almost anything in the dining room on "dress up night". Some people will come in shorts and tees even though you are never supposed to do that. I think that many families dress up for photos. DH and I are not fond of photos at our age (Is that me???? Do I look like that???) and he wears a nice shirt and tie and khakis. I wear black pants and a nice top.
So, don't worry about how fancy or dressy you look...you are on vacation..
can't wait...

Close to Canada but not quite. Does your DD work on the ship? This would be so neat. I have students that talk about finishing school and going to work on a cruise ship. If I didn't have a family, I would do it. I can't believe we leave in 5 days!!

 

[CSwan1]

Oh my goodness- we are so close!! Everyone must be super busy getting things ready!! I had a 2 day seminar this weekend and now I am busy getting all the last minute stuff done. Just in case I don't get to post again- I am very excited to meet all of you soon. Wishing you all safe travels! Yippee!!

 

[Mommak2p]

Oh my , I am getting excited!!! We fly from Halifax Friday morning, staying in Cocoa Beach then off to the Ship on Sunday!!! My daughter will be waiting for us!!! I am so excited to see her!!! Hoping to meet you Swan and others!! See you there, you won't be able to miss me, I'll be the fanatical Disney Mom!!!

Hi everyone,
Were leaving our house at 3:30am tomorrow morning. Our plane leaves at 5.
Weather looks good. It may rain on Saturday though, other than that plenty of sunshine and yes, humidity!!!! Yuck. It may be hot here, but very dry. So different from swimming in wet soup. I am still very excited. 6:30 am right now and we have all been awake for an hour now. Were trying to get the kids on East coast time. They are 3 hours difference, so 8 here is 5 am there.
Were going to be arriving in Florida at 1pm tomorrow. See everone soon!!!

 

[Honeibee]

OMG how exciting! We leave early Saturday morning. I can't believe it's finally here! See you guys really really soon!!!

BTW, I plan on wearing my Minnie marathon shirt to board, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE my medal so I'll be really obnoxious and hard to miss!

 

[bsusanmb]

Do we have a room number for SamLaw97?
How will we know where to deliver?

Oh, boy, we leave Sat and I can't wait to get on that ship!
Of course, DH's blood pressure is 150/100, he is dizzy and fell during the night and had to go to the doctor...doubled his BP meds...there is a stomach virus going around....I have felt queezy for over a week...maybe power of suggestion....lost a filling and had to go to dentist quick...now my tooth hurts....just hope we make it alive and well onto the ship!

Got my little gifties together...hey, what night is the Pirates in the Carribean party? I have some gifties for that night...

Susan

 

[bsusanmb]
