So sorry. I was not even going for it. Did not realize it till I saw your post. Here let me share!!

I know awhile back there was discussion about where to pack film and disposable cameras. I am sorry but for the life of me I can not remember where to put them. Is it the carry-on or in the checked luggage??? HELP!!

Thank you. Also, congratulations on your goal. I bet you feel great.

Thank you. I do feel like I have more energy. That helps with my two year old.

Nickole...congrats on WW Lifetime (I know it's not till next week, but I know you'll make it)! What an awesome accomplishment! I started WW earlier this year with the intention of losing bunches before the cruise...however somehow over the summer I got sidetracked unfortunately. Oh well...I am 10 lbs lighter than a year ago! I'm hoping all you exercise maniacs are going to get me moving on the cruise and then when I get home I'll stick with it!

As for computer time onboard, I may get online long enough to send a quick e-mail to my mom, just so she knows we are a-ok...she is a worrier (has never traveled much and she absolutely can't understand why anyone would want to be in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight)!!

WHAT??? We won't be able to see land?!??? I'm not going!

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
530 PM EST WED NOV 2 2005

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH THURSDAY.

Accuweather says:

One tropical wave can be found in the eastern Atlantic along 39 west. south of 16 north, moving west at about 15 mph. A second wave is in the central Atlantic along 50 west, south of 16 north, moving west at about 17 mph. A wave in the central Caribbean is along 75 west, south of 20 north, and moving west at around 10 mph.

A front and its associated area of low pressure will stall from just south of Bermuda into the central Bahamas later this week. This could wind up being a breeding ground for a couple of areas of low pressure that could develop some tropical characteristics over the warm waters of the Atlantic.

NO RAIN, TROPICAL STORMS OR HURRICANES ON THE MAGIC 11/12/2005!!!

So-why are the 11/12 cruisers a hated bunch? Seems like a nice group to me.

The nurse knows why we are loved! My wife would like to know did the nurse once weigh 500lbs or something? The way she wants to work out, she must be a size 1

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately we will have the laptop with us - self employed, and we have just opened another office which is time consuming at the moment,,,plus we have to make sure all of our employees are actually working while we are off playing

But, I think when we're on board we're going to purchase the unlimited internet connection and use their computers.

Don't think I'll be doing a live thread. I'm sure our computer time will be spent on work.

Nick262 - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new photo!!! Entirely Ediable!!!

 

[awoltoday]

I'm sure our computer time will be spent on work.

Yuck!

You all are getting awfully fancy with the cuties in the sigs!

 

[awoltoday]

All of this talk of losing weight - Cudos & Congrats to all of you that are able to get and keep it off ! - is making me hungry. I'm off to eat some PB Cookies....

 

[DIS NURSE]

Okay.....my turn here......you bunch of blabber-mouths!

I am trying to re-read my noted scratched onto a Hello Kitty notepad (DD's, of course)....on the replies I feel necessary.......

Here it goes.....

First off......have to go search for the Deck 2 new kids' area pics and info pronto! We are so curious....and mostly because (I am possibly not thrilled about this ) that new pre-pubesant play place is RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL FROM OUR STATEROOM! ......I hope it is not a crazy place!

To leanne2255......I will send you a PM soon......only way I can explain it, as many of you well know already.

4Formickey......I wasn't quite ever 500 lbs., but I did gain a disgusting 60 pounds with DS's pregnancy! As assumed, he was a LARGE baby and I did end up getting cut open like a tuna fish to get him out!.......in my own department, no less! By the very people I work with everyday, no less!
.....so a huge baby and the second and last child later.....I started on a self induced (never-ending) P.E. class from Hell....and here I am 6 years later on a daily fix for exercise! It feels good! But I also need to relax!.....and that is what this cruise is all about!

STB......before you leave us in a matter of days......please give an update on the dental appointment for DS and the outcome. I am sure he is as adorable as ever! Even with or without his front tooth!

Chip&Dale&Fun....I have all of the pins lined up and ready for present.......
#1....Ron Jon.....right when we get there. They will be so excited!
#2.....50th Anniversary pins.....as we enjoy the first sighting of the Titanic....ooops! Sorry!........ I mean, the Magic! from the third floor of Ron Jon's moments before we take a taxi to the terminal!
#3....sometime while onboard that Magic ship! Can't quite figure out the best time yet.? Any ideas?

Chog Marg and awoltoday......first of all, I hardly feel sorry for you....still basking in 75-85 degree temps! Talked to dear Mom and Dad today and they say you are still enjoying great weather! I have lost my tan, spent today FREEZING in wind and 49 degree temps.....so no sympathy here!

awoltoday.....I am not sure of your exact departure date, but could you so kindly keep that accuweather update posted through next week? I would love to get the most updated forecast at the tip of my "User CP" button!

Thanks, DIS NURSE

75-85 my @$$. It's still 90. Choc_Marg is ticked 'cause we can't pack our cruisin' clothes 'cause we are wearing them! I can't wait for 80!

Our exact departure date is 7 days and a wakeup away (that's a week from tomorrow, which is Thursday). I will PM you the forecast twice daily until then.

 

[DIS NURSE]

Thanks! I mean it!
I don't have time to keep up on the Accuweather stuff as much as I would like. Is Accuweather what you use for the latest/greatest? Is there something better? I still occasionally go to Dave's DCL site and choose "weather" down at the very bottom.....you can click on the days you will be where on the 7 night Eastern and it gives you a current forcast.

Can you please keep us all in the latest loop?
We don't leave until the early AM of the 10th either.....lots of time, unfortunately, for weather choas to form!.......I want Florida to warm up the beginning of next week but that doesn't like the case.

You, all-mighty, awoltoday, are here-by designated as the Weather Wizard for this ship of fools, sailing Nov. 12th, 2005

Hello... hello... anyone out there.
I am too on this cruise, my sister is "ALBARRANFAMILY" and I have to clear something up, I am 32 NOT 34 and my other sister is 34 not 36. Ok, with that out of the way. I have been reading some of the posts. Great information!! You guys sound like fun. I can't wait to go on this cruise My prayers go out to the families in FL. Some info about me: 14 DD 7 DS I am a police/fire/ems dispatcher in Texas and I have worked nights for the past 10 years. This is my first cruise ever so I don't know what to expect. Your information on all the posts is so tremendously helpful.

i am going to go SOAK in a scalding hot tub! i am at my wit's end over dd's school work!!!!!!!!!!! the teacher sent home a list (at my request) of what she would miss about a month ago, but now everything is messed up (either they did'nt get as far in something or jumped ahead in something else)-i fear a toxic meltdown at tomorrow's p/t conference (i am armed with her notes and whatever did'nt get done by now will get partialy done on the plane and the rest can wait until thanksgiving vacation!).

i already broken into my "back-up" chocolate supply-i can tell you that both the "mudslides" and the "smores" will be very good

so can i assume that i can leave all of our long sleeved clothes at home? it sounds like it's still hot and muggy back there. we'll just wear sweats and tshirts on the plane and be thankful that the shuttle will drop and pick us up at the curb (in the event the rain/wind continues here).

i must confess-i am looking forward to tomorrow nite-i have a massage schedualed for when dh gets home in hopes of unknotting all of the stress in my neck and back (dh gets to go friday after work).

well as tigger would say "TTFN" (ta-ta for now).

Its me again..
Since this is my first cruise I am wondering if the food at Castaway Cay is part of the cruise package or do we have to purchse the food separately. I am aware you pay for excursions but what about the food? Just wondering how much cash I have to bring with me. Thanks for any info.
