November 26, 2005/ 7 day Eastern Magic

[Michelle2]

Welcome maryjanenancy and jfishkind! This too, might be one of my last posts, we are leaving early tomorrow and have loads of packing left to do. That happens with 4 kids...

Our airport has been having alot of problems due to an inversion and fog. All the flights have been canceled last night and this morning, and the inversion is supposed to last tomorrow too, so I am sad that we may not get to family's house for Thanksgiving as early as planned. I hope we can even get there for Thanksgiving....

Have safe travels everyone, and see you on Saturday!

Have a safe journey, Michelle2! I know what you mean about airports. DH is flying in from Seattle tonight. He gets in at midnight. The boys keep asking to stay up. If they do, I'll never get everything finished (esp. the websites).

Still can't believe we're leaving the day after tomorrow. DH said it was just starting to hit him. I'm hoping it doesn't wack me up side the head tomorrow when I realized what I'd forgotten.

Went out and bought another formal dress. Still snugger than I'd like, but not as slinky as the backless one I tried on . . . However I FORGOT to buy the magnets! Ugghhh. Guess we'll be buying those at the airport . . .LOL. Everyone thing else will be way to crowded tomorrow anyway. Wonder if the Norfolk Botanical Gardens will be open when we get to the airport. I could run over there. Hey, how about VT (Virginia Tech) hokie magnets! Yeah!

Be safe everyone! Eat turkey, but remember we get to eat lots of great stuff for a week

Mary and jfish - people are bringing 5 magnets each. I think we're going to trade at the 3:00 meet at the Goofy pool on Saturday. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Charging the cameras as we speak. Don't forget your large ziplocs for cameras or wet items! Airport here is crazy - hope it's better by Friday.

One more question. Do I really need to bring our dinner clothes for Saturday night in our carry on luggage or can I assume that our luggage will be delivered to us by then? We have 6:00 seating and plan on getting to the terminal as early as possible if that makes a difference. I really don't want to carry that stuff with us but also don't want to show up for dinner in our shorts! Thanks!

Hey BooMc -
I think it's a comfort thing. Usually your luggage shows up by 3 PM, but strange things sometimes happen. We're not bringing extra clothes, but we have the 8:30 seating. Again, do what helps you to relax the most . . .LOL. Remember you're on vacation!

Two more days!

Dialady..

DH went to Wal-mart to get magnets and they no longer stock them, so you won't be the only one buying them at the airport.

hey are we suppose to put our names on our green mickeys? Did I miss that?

 

[DaMayor]

Just got home a little while ago from my mini vacation at Wynn LV. I had a great time, easily the nicest hotel room I've ever stayed in. I'll be happy to answer any questions on Saturday at the meet.

Hope everyone has a great and safe Thanksgiving and a safe trip to Orlando.

See you Saturday at 3pm.

qofhearts - I put our names on Mickey's face, DH, DD etc. on the left ear and m user ID on the right ear.

Theresa - thanks for the info. I guess I'll drag our stuff with us - better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully I'll get access to the room at a decent time so I can drop the carrry-ons off then. BTW, I always thought your name was Diana or Diane from your User ID,

Nope, DiaLady = Diamond Lady I love diamonds . . .

Well, got most of the house cleaned thanks to my two great helpers! DH will be back from Seattle in about an hour. Boy is he ready to be back with us.

Time's a wasting . . .

Warm weather here we come!

Finally got the magnets. I can not believe we are leaving in just over a day. So much to do so little time. I am cleaning, preparing the turkey and packing. Hopefully, I will be getting to bed before 3 AM! See you guys on Saturday!!!

SEVEN HOURS until flight time...am I packed? No, of course not!

But I will be! Weather into TPS is still holding up, our airport is a breeze to get through. Plus our ride/dog watcher/housesitter (aka my coworker) is spending the night because she can't bring herself to get up at 5am! She'll stay up until 5am but getting up, well, that's impossible! Kids, I tell ya!!! (She is 25) It's funny, she can only have 3 beers a night now, she said her 19 year-old self would slap her for that as she used to down 2 6-packs in a night! Age is a killer!

Got the magnets, got the wine (Mary & fish, some of us are bringing a bottle of locally made wine for a tasting on Sunday), got the door signs and the green paint chips for nametags! Now all I have to do is find the baby's formal dress shoes!

Well enough time wasting, I have a plane to catch!!!

 

[DiaLady]

Can I dare say it? WE LEAVE TOMORROW!!

I've got the sign ready to go, but . . . well . . .we'll work on the rest. Gotta go get the turkey in the oven

DH returned at 11:30 PM last night. He sure is glad to be back with us. A good day's rest and sometime putting up Christmas lights (why does he dread that every year) will make him feel at home!

For those of you traveling today either to WDW or to family, safe journey!

See ya in a few!

Hi all,

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Yes Di you can say we leave tomorrow.

I just checked in on line for our flights which means we are less than 24 hours from leaving.



It was snowing this morning...yikes...my DD thought it was Christmas.

Can't wait to see you all real soon.

Safe journey to all.

Thanks Boo Mc!

Everyone have a safe trip! See you soon. It's 70 and overcast in TX. I am trying to pack with DD doing her own suitcase- lovely! That will be interesting later- to see what she's putting in there.

 

[DiaLady]

Man, everyone must be eating a lot of turkey and frantically packing . . .or maybe that's just me . . .LOL.

Still don't have magnets, but just remembered a lovely shop in the airport that has cool gifts like that. I know I'll find the perfect magnets there.

Almost packed. Keep trying to remember everything . . . (well, except the kitchen sink and that might just find it's way in anyway . . .LOL)

 

[Katiesmom]

Happy "Turkey Day" to all!

Just finished packing the car and all of the last minute items... we added another small suitcase! Got our wine packed for the wine tasting (hopefully it won't break in route)... if anyone else is interesed in joing us, let me know at the meet on Saturday, and I'll give our our room number. (I can't remember our room number right now and everything is packed in the car.) We leave at 5:00am and will be driving to Jacksonville (hopefully), and then to the port on Saturday. See you all there! I can't wait... It's been so much fun chatting with all of you, It will be great to finally meet!

Safe journey to all!

 

[DiaLady]

Hey KatiesMom --

Save journey! Watch out for that chilly weather!

Our car is packed, too (except for the last minute bag). DH even said, "Thanks!" for having everything in the car before 8 PM I even got some work done tonight.

See you on the secret deck, KatiesMom . . .hope they have plugs there for the laptop . . .LOL

Drive save!
