November 11, 2006 - MAGIC - Special Western "Double Dip" Cruise 11/11/06

Dee, it was yesterday.

And for those with colds...try Zicam. It is an immunity boost- mostly zinc. Really works great to shorten the duration.

I will keep that in mind next time. I think my peak was yesterday. It is now 6:15 and I was able to keep my 5PM appointment for my nails. Feel pretty good right now. Just had a coughing spell when people on both sides of me were getting their nailpolish put on. Guess it is back to work for me.

 

[WendyJersey]

Okay ladies here is a senseless post. I normally have long strong fingernails. I trimmed them back when I went to Vegas so they would be long again for the cruise. Well, since I have been back all they have done is peel and break. Now they are different sizes and look terrible. Does any of you do gels? Do they hold up if I go swiming and snorkeling. I am leary as thay file your nails and I fear that will only make them weaker.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I don't really know what gels are. What exactly are they? I have had no trouble with what I have done. It is a long nail which is glued to the tip of my nail. Then it is cut down to the length I want and a filler put over the whole nail to look even. They have been on at times over a year and I never had a problem with them every coming off or separating. I do dishes all the time. Hope this helps! I think they may have gels there but I have never been approached about using them.

ok, My mom just sent me yet another "cruise box" filled with stuff. Her latest treasure? DIStag stuff! We will be using the POTC goodie bags and putting stuff in them. I figured they would work out the best. What are you all using for name tags? are you putting the person's name and then yours?

Good question. I thought about that too. I guess by putting your name as the giver lets the receiver know they've been tagged and by who. Am I on the right track those of you that have experience with this?

By the way Spotdude asked a question about what to put into the tag bags and no one answered him. I'm just putting in things I thought someone might need and have forgotten to pack and some little snacks. Hope this helps! Does anyone have any other suggestions they can stir up?

Just a little dolphin teaser. DH and me at Discovery Cove with Akai.

Great to see a photo of you - but I really can't wait for my turn at Cozumel - had a dream last night- this brought a tear to my eye!!!

 

[clynne]

We just signed our DIS names on the tag bags. Hope that's ok, as that bag is packed and I don't think I want to open it up again. It might explode!

And, Devin, we just put stuff our kids liked, so figured other kids would like, too. We're planning on picking up something sweet to put in there, too, while we're in Orlando. (Of course, we've never played DIS tag, so I don't know the protocol!)

Carolyn (did I mention today? Only 4 more nights!!)

WendyJersey, no jelly fish at Discovery Cove.

Carolyn, yes, Sarah did swim with the dolphins, kinda/sorta. She was afraid of the water, so she petted the dolpin, then went and sat on the beach. One of the lifegaurds was nice and gave her a jacket to wear, it was very cool that day.

Peg, you will have so much fun with the dolphins.

This is the thumbnail pic of all of us with Akai. You can't see the terrified look on Sarah's face too well.

Edited to add, it wasn't Akai, it was Aries in this picture.

Pat, I told Ed about Artist Point, and he said "oooo, I think I will order something expensive...oh wait, it's all expensive" LOL! Expensive but soooo goooodddd!

Thought I would throw in this beautiful picture of the Magic, taken from the tender in Grand Cayman.

Great picture of you guys with the Dolphin. Funny thing I was just watching the travel channel and they were doing a special on Sea World which included a bit on Discovery cove. I looks WONDERFUL!! I really need to try it some day. Not sure if Angelina would love it but I am sure Vito Jr would!
Are you guys spending any time in FLA post cruise?

I one thing to think about once you start having them done it will be forever. I was getting gel nails back in NY when I moved I did not want to keep up with it anymore. It took a good 6 months to a year to have decent nails.Have you ever tried Sally Hansen hards has nails? Its like $3 and really helps make you nails strong.You can find it at any drug store.

excellent picture!!

Yes, Michelle, we will be staying a few days after in Orlando with Pat and her DH. We will be returning home on Tuesday after the cruise. My furbabies are going to think I have permanently abandoned them to our pet sitter.

 

[michelle9343]

It is time for some DRINKS OF THE DAY!!!!how about a malibu bay breeze? Jimmy Buffet is just getting the party rollin' and The volcano's about to blow!!!

Wow - count me in on THIS party! This is a dream come true... kids being watched all night, adult conversation and adult drinks all night.
Can you tell it's been WAY too long for me???

 

[ibouncetoo]

Everyone can bring their own celebrity guests, bartenders and pool boys

I brought my own DANCE partner. Mr. Colin Firth, of course:

(This is Colin watching me do my impression of Kate Hepburn reciting a Shakspearan sonnet)

 

[dragonflydreaming]

great pic!!!!

my hubby found a package outside our door...is is docs...is it docs?????


NO!!!

it was magical express transportation info.....where are my docs???

I called Disney Tuesday and they were able to tell me the day they were shipped out to us. (October 25) We had called the TA Monday and they didn't think they had gotten them We finally got them today. I'd check if I was you to make sure nobody is sitting on them at the TA office and if they sent them out to you they can trace them. It turns out ours were at the courier depot. They had attempted a delivery and we weren't home. They were holding them at the depot.

 

[Vanvmom]

I think Capt. Jack should make an appearance at our cyber party!

As for nails... the gals in our travel group are going tomorrow to get our toenails done. We're going to see if they can do a lime green Mickey head on our big toe. If it turns out cute, I'll post a picture.

I think we'll be doing our DIStag bags tomorrow. Name tags... almost forgot about that part.

 

[Vanvmom]

Went to the Kaiser travel clinic today. I came out having to have 4 shots! OUCH!

Typhoid, My 2nd Hepatitis A shot, Tetanus booster, and flu shot. Oldest son needed 4 as well (flu, tetanus, varicella booster, and typhoid). I'm really looking forward to tomorrow when my younger 2 go in for their shots (likely each need typhoid and flu).

Did everyone going on the ruin tour get a confirmation e-mail from Ivan today?
