November 1, 2008 "Election Day Castaways!"

[plutospup]

The summer competitive swim season has come to an end! Championships were held Saturday (DD10 won two events!), and my paperwork is complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know there are some other kids who have end of the season tournaments coming up. Good luck to all! Good luck Waterskierchick!

NOW it's time to focus on our cruise!!!

1. Where can I get a pattern for a fish extender? Hopefully, DMIL will sew it for us. If not, you may see something made by me held together with duck tape.

2. Spa...Anyone familiar with "Ladies Morning in the Vista Spa"? DW saw this and thought it sounded great!

93 more days! It still sounds like a lot, but considering we booked over 21 months in advance, we're getting down there!

DD had her 9 month check up yesterday and is doing great. She'll turn 1 the day before we fly down to FL. Does anyone have any great tips on things to do with a baby on the cruise (or excursions or WDW). I'm not taking her to Flounder's, so she'll be with us all the time.

DS13 joined the Football team for our high school this past week. Decided last minute to do it. So far so good, so camp is end of summer. DS7 has soccer camp..busy boys make for tired/quiet boys .

I got fish extender off ebay and she customized it for me for $30. I figured by time I bought fabric, had it embroidered and found time to do it, the price was just PERFECT !!

Not a spa person, so I have nothing planned in there. If I ever had a massage they would have to do it in my own bed for I would never awaken.

3 months from now we'll be hearing the Magic's horn sounding as we cast off from Port Canaveral!

You just gave me goosebumps!

I did get some great deals at the outlet mall this week. The state of VA has a tax free weekend this weekend.

I may have to go back & check for more deals. I got a couple of pair of capris', new tops and most all of them mix~n~match.

IF my kiddos only knew!!!

So, are all the Castaway Club members ready to make reservations tomorrow at midnight? What excursions does everyone have planned?
I want to make ressies for Palo Brunch, and for the Pirate Ship on Cayman Islands, and the Submarine on Cozumel. We were also thinking of doing the island tour w/ turtle farm on Cayman Islands, but DCL won't let you book 2 excursions unless they are 2 hrs apart,
so we might see if they will let us book this on the ship (it is 1 1/2 hrs apart).

Got a beautiful dress for formal night at a steal...$89.99...
Kohl's is having a HUGE sale. Got Chaps polo's for DS7 for $1.20-$7.20..OMG !! I even found some Vans shorts for DS14 for about $22 a pair which is major cheap. I walked out of there today with 2 huge bags of school/vacation clothes for $103.00 and got $20 Kohl cash back for next week to use. YIPPEEEEE !!
LET THE SHOPPING BEGIN...IT'S COUNTDOWN TIME...tick tock, tick tock...Capt. Hook RUN !!

I'll force myself to take an afternoon nap so I can make ressies at midnight! Hey, I'm on vacation this week, so naps are important! (We played hard earlier this week)

We're looking to book Palo brunch for Monday. DD & I are going parasailing at CC. DW wants to book Ladies Morning at the Vista Spa.

I am staying up!! Looking for Palo (probably try to book a brunch right away if available and then try a dinner). I want to book the cozume/ excursion to talum, one of the snorkelingtrips in grand cayman and probably a spa treatment. I am flexible on the last two so Palo and the cozumel excursion will be my focus at midnight.

 

[PrincessDadx2]

some of "soon to be" CC members want to know

PS: this is wuv tigger on dh's acct. again

 

[plutospup]

Just reserved Palo Brunch for Monday at 10:30, and CC Parasailing @ 1:30 pm. Still not sure what spa appt DW wants.

Now I can go to sleep, and have pleasant DCL dreams!

 

[msminniemouse]

We reserved Palo Brunch for Mon at 11:30, and Pirate Encounter in Grand Cayman and the Atlantis Submarine in Cozumel.
I can go to sleep now, too. I'm tired.

 

[robsmom]

i got everything that I was hoping for. Spa treatment Monday morning, Palo dinner at 7pm on Monday, talum ruins in cozumel, stingray reef sail in grand cayman and palo brunch on thursday at 10:30!!

If any non-CC people want to have an idea about availability for something, let me know and i will try to log on and see.

So when we all leave for the cruise, who turns out the lights?

Can't wait and the time is flying!

This is my second Disney Cruise, travelling with the kids and various family members!!

See you all on board!

 

[LBIGirl67]

Hello Tink...

What exit are ya? We are 63 on the GSP...Welcome aboard. We don't need anyone to turn out the lights, we have the governor to do that !! We can't even push him out.

 

[Tink4EVR]

LOL!!

I'm so far in the woods that I don't even have an exit!!

I'm Northwest (right off of Rt 80), probably about 20 miles from PA.

We got our Palo ressies. We were hoping to get brunch on a sea day, but all we could get was Key West day. I'll keep checking hoping that one will open up.

 

[tfc3rid]

Palo Brunch on Key West Day at 10:30, Palo Dinner on Formal Night at 7, Shipwreck and Reef Snorkel in GC and Cavern and Underground Snorkel in Cozumel...

I figured brunch in KWD is fine... You can walk off the calories before you hit up the Blonde Giraffe...
