Water shoes are a good idea! The pavement at water parks can get brutally hot!

I can't believe it! 3 weeks from today!!

Water shoes are a good idea! The pavement at water parks can get brutally hot!

I think so, too, after finding out the hard way!

Yesterday, Mike and I spent the day in Athens as we decided to head over to Sanford Stadium for UGA's Picture Day! It was an awesome day as we were able to get our picture with interim mascot Russ and Coach Richt! I can't wait for football season to start!

In between the time that we got our tickets yesterday morning, and the time that we had to be back at the stadium, we decided to do a little cruise shopping. Our first stop was at Academy Sports to see if they had any water shoes for Dustin #1. We ended up finding a pair, but I have no idea whether or not he'll actually wear them. And even if he doesn't, since they only cost a whopping $.94, then it really won't be anything lost!

I'm going to pack them in our bag for Nassau, so even if he decides not to wear them, I'll have them if he changes his mind once he figures out how painful the hot ground really is!

We also made a stop by Target and got travel size bottles along with a few other things that we needed. We ended up getting 2 packs of toothbrushes so that we could just toss the ones we use when leaving AKL.

Now that we have the travel size stuff and Dustin's water shoes, I think we're finally ready to start packing...Let the fun begin!

Hi Missy,
I thought I would read some trip reports to get ready for the cruise and I found yours. Only 19 more days and we will be sailing away. Can't wait.

The football pics are cute!

I also love those neat looking water shoes you got for yourself!
Tell Mike I like his WalMart water shoes, too!
(Don't want him to be left out. )

Hello, I'm joining in on your trip report. I'll be on the same sailing with you and your family. It will be me, DH, and DD (celebrating her 9'th bday). I love that you are so close with your nephews, it's great being an aunt isn't it? My nephews are like my sons to me.

Sorry about the loss of your friend and that your photoshoot got rained on.

We're getting so close to the big day, can't wait to read how your experience goes. Hopefully you'll get some good pics with your new camera. I also have the Fujufilm underwater camera and used it on last years cruise. We got some decent pictures of the hidden statues at Castaway Cay.

Hi there, and thanks for joining in!! It's awesome to have fellow cruise mates here!!

When is your daughters birthday? What an awesome way to celebrate it!

I am very thankful that I am close to my nieces and nephews as well. They all mean the world to me. Being an Aunt is a wonderful thing!

I can't believe we are so close! I think our cruise is going to be spectacular! Are you planning to attend the meet onboard? I hope so, but if not, I certainly hope that we run into each other sometime during the cruise! Please make sure to say hi if you see me!

Have you gotten photoshoot pics back yet?

I finally made it home so I'm able to see the pictures now, I LOVE those water shoes. Not sure if we have that store here in South Florida but I would definately get those. Also you're underwater pics from the beach came out pretty good too.

My daughter's birthday is the day we board 9-11. I've been obsessed with the countdown for the cruise I almost forgot it's her big day too so i switched it to a countdown to her birthday. Didn't want her to feel her day wasn't important.

Fingers crossed for good weather. Hoping these hurricanes and waves out there pass quickly and give us sun filled days.
Where's the meet? If I don't make it, I'll keep an eye out to shout hello.

I've looked at them online a few times, and initally I thought I wanted to get the CD that included all the shots. But, the more I look at them, the less I think I want to spend $125 on a CD that only had about 3 pictures that I really even like! So, I don't guess I'll be able to share them after all!

If there aren't any Academy locations near you, you can always order online...I think their website is Academy Sports dot com.

How cool, Mike and I will be celebrating our anniversary on 9-11 as well!!

The meet is scheduled for 3, and I believe it's in the atrium. I hope you can make it. I'm not 100% sure that I will make it, but I'm going to try.

I'm hoping for the same as far as the hurricanes, and I really hope that Castawaty Cay doesn't suffer any damage!

I wouldn't spend that much either for just a few pics.
You can save that $$ and buy some cruise pics!!
You know those will be good!!

I am getting excited for your trip and can't wait for you to share your thoughts, pictures, and experiences with us!!!

I haven't had any updates to post lately, cause there really hasn't been anything cruise-related going on. We have been busy with lots of other things though! My Dad's birthday was Wednesday, so Mike and I picked up Varsity for everyone and took it to his place.

We really enjoyed spending time with my Dad and the rest of the family!

Tomorrow, Mike and I are headed to SC to meet up with moustravel (Kristi). We're headed to the Upstate Women's Show (poor Mike), and then to The Beacon for lunch! I'm sure I'll have pics to share when we get back!

I'm hoping to start some packing this weekend. I've already made a packing list, but I know there are some things that I'm forgetting as my list isn't very long!! I'm starting to feel a little panicked, especially when I think about the fact that we leave 2 weeks from Saturday! But, then again, I feel that way every time we go somewhere, no matter how prepared I am!

Hopefully I'll have more updates to share in the coming days!

We're headed to the Upstate Women's Show (poor Mike),

We'll put him to work. He can be our photographer!

Can't wait!

Hi Missy, totally unrelated to this TR, but just saw you on an old Saratoga Springs thread and wanted to thank you for the photos you posted ages ago Was scrolling along, and thought 'hey, I know that avatar!'

Hope you guys aren't affected by the storm, have a fabulous weekend!

 

[Jennifer48]

Hi Missy!

I'm back and all caught up. You are almost down to single digits!

Your water shoes are so cool looking! I love how they look like regular sneakers. I'm sure Dustin #1 will appreciate the water shoes once his feet hit that hot pavement!

Happy birthday to your dad and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!

Thank you, Jennifer! I'm glad you're back! How was the trip? I want to hear all about it! You haven't changed your mind about a trip report have you?
