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

[ktkberg]

Wow you guys have been busy last night and today. I had many pages to read to catch up. I hope everyone is continuing to have a great night.

As for the sleep. I can never get enough sleep. I have twins you like my bed better than their own and its just not comfortable unless the have a knee or elbow in my face or back. But I must say it is a true blessing to see their lovely faces while they are sleeping.

Thanks for sharing the photos of your marine. We are lucky to have him making life a safer place for us. My husband served in the Air Force and it always amazes me just how much some people take our military men and women for granted. I'll keep his safety in my prayers.

Have a great night.

Here's the scoop on the FEDERAL EXPRESS locations near the port. Many thanks to Shirley at The Perfect Gift!

Hello Jackie, the closest Fed Ex office is located at 5675 North Atlantic Avenue North Atlantic Ave which at the Cornerstone Plaza where the new Publix is and the name of the office is called Easy Trader and Shipping - their suite number is 115 and as for UPS they also do that.
This place is located about 2.5 miles SOUTH of the Radisson.
Hope that this helps - he can also go to www.fedex.com to get more locations - there is a drop box at 7073 North Atlantic Avenue in Cape Canaveral and the last pickup is at 5:30PM - the shop at the Cornerstone Plaza is open from 9am to 6pm but I do not know if they are opened on the weekends - will have to check it out for you tomorrow and post it ok?
Hope that this helps out and if not contact me at snelsonbrown@aol.com
Always
Shirley

Peg and I went and saw "The Prestige" and I really enjoyed it....kept you guessing till the end! Man, that Hugh Jackman is one fine looking fellow Of course, didn't get all my errands done, so I'll be back running the street of Phoenix tomorrow (anything to avoid housework).

October Double Dip Navigators. OK, I've been playing with my scanner and e-mailed a page to Peg to see how it looks and she says the quality isn't very good. So we are going into her office tomorrow to do it from the 'good' scanner. Then I can e-mail them to anyone interested. I am going to take a closer look in comparing them to the May ones and if anything majorly different jumps out at me, I'll let you all know. So I guess I'll go make a copy of tea and get busy on that assignment.

Still fall weather here too, high of 77 today. Of course it will be cold and cloudy on Halloween (almost always is), even colder on my street because we have a wetland water canal across the street from our house. Our street always seems a few degrees colder at night than everywhere else.

Tonight was the night of many Halloween parties for my boys. Can't believe the number of pirates I saw! Well, off to enjoy that extra hour of sleep tonight before we begin our last full/busy week before vacation. The time will fly by I'm sure

 

[txaggie94gigem]

I saw on some news report that "pirates" were the hot costume this year....we have already had one party and may go to another one tomorrow night.....the kids have fun and i am racking up candy for the CM gifts!!!!

 

[txaggie94gigem]

i am still waiting on my wench costume....i bought it off ebay around july 4th and the lady just now sent it to me...i hope it fits because i am not a happy camper about waiting so long....she has only ome other neg from a person that had to wait about 3 months but when that person left her negative feedback fo having to wait so long she turned around and left negative fedback saying "she needed some patience".....so i am scared to leave her neg fedback so i am turning her into ebay instead....i paid her the day after i won the auction so i think i have been over patient!!!!

anyway...because of all this fiasco my hubby costume never got done but he has a really cool pirate jersey to wear instead.....

 

[txaggie94gigem]

so do many of you get the wine package???

melanie...do y'all drink wine with dinner? we are not big wine drinkers but we sometimes get fancy drinks with dinner.....

 

[Pooh Luvs Figment]

We bought our costumes in parts from Walmart, the skirt and the Belt
shirt and other items.

Ref to Wine: My DH and I got the wine on the Short trip.
I am looking forward to getting more this time.

I am back at work tonight and placed at the consule near the computer with internet. My lucky night so far. '

 

[Spotdude]

I am looking for a costume as well. I was at walmart yesterday and they didn't have much left. I am going to wait untill next weekend and go to http://www.iparty.com/ smd hope they have some thing left.

 

[Pooh Luvs Figment]

Alright !!!!!
Due to the Demand and condolence I have decided to pack Winnie the
Pooh ties. Just in case he wanted to sport them.. ha ha
This is great he will be so happy to wear my favorite buddy around his
neck, like a boat anchor. I guess he has lived with the Pooh all over the
house a little Pooh on the Magic should improve it some.

Do I understand this right? I don't have to print anything out and all I have to fill out at home is the Bahamas form?

You DO have to print out the DCL contract document and sign them.

Congrats on saving the money we do the same thing, except we spen no change. Now you have me excited about how much maybe in there.

 

[Pooh Luvs Figment]

GoodMorning FaireyGodmother.
How was your night Mine was great on Fire.
Can you check my papers later this week and make sure I have all that
is supposed to be in the folder.

I do not want to get to the gate and not have all that is needed. I am not
turning back then.

That is why I never do anything on ebay. My son has had great results, even so far as buying from personal people in the Asian countries. His problem, which was only once was right here from someone in MD.

OK has anyone registered with the online check in? I have done it weeks ago. When I told my sister en-law about this she told me AAA advised her not to. Because she would have to reenter all the information after her cruise Docs. Arrived. Has anyone else heard this? I couldn't get on the DCL site last night to check to see if it was still there. I have not revived my DOC yet. I am hoping for Monday.

Our Halloween Store has 50% off starting 1 Nov. But I didn't want to wait since I was afraid I wouldn't find what I wanted so I shopped about three weeks ago. Good luck in finding what you want. I would make sure I was there right after work on the day the sale started. Get there before other parents do as they will be looking for stuff for next year.

 

[CJLKIM]

Ladies,

What will you be wearing Semi formal night? I've bought a floor length for formal night and have a little black dress for some other nights, ehich could definitely be semi formal or just dressy casual. Whattaya think? Do I remember some of you saying you will wear the formal dress twice???

Last year I wore a floor length formal. I figured...what the heck....
This year we'll still all be in wedding gear....so I'll be bridal.

 

[CJLKIM]

Man I am ready we are have sevear weather here (fall has arrived)

I'm with ya' Devin....last night we had our last rocket football game...it was cold and started to sleet and snow. My cheerleading squad was frozen! Of course, we also had high winds so the power went out at about 2:00 p.m. so there was no heat at home...Luckily it came on about 10 minutes before I arrived home with my frozen little ones.....

 

[Spotdude]

That is what I was hoping for. Walmart was just about giving away what they had left. We are so behind that we just bought the girls custumes yesteday. This class that my DW was in really took a lot out of her. she didn't like it at all.

I filled my paperwork out on line in Aug. Don't forget if you have medication the forms were suppose to be in at least 14 days ahead of the cruise. I asked DCL what types of medication and they pretty much said but BC, vitamins. Just need to know in case an emergency then they'll know what you are taking. So you might want to get that form filled out and signed by your DR and fax it right away. From what our Doc said some will charge you a copay for this. You can always verify with DCL if you need to do this with your type of meds. I got an answer back from them the next day I was impressed.
