Got my docs today!!!

Is anyone sending a box ahead of time? How long before the cruise should I do it? We have a DS 1 1/2 and we want to send the diapers, wipes, sippy cups etc ahead of time instead of lugging it all with us!

 

[strousmouse]

We haven't gotten our docs yet either!! Do they come in the regular mail?
I got the luggage down from the attic today and I am ready to pack!!!

should be getting docs tomorrow. also have to bring the med papers to my OB so they can get filled out and then sent cause apparently they need to be faxed 14 days before trip.
Had a few questions...anyone been preggers on a cruise before and what kinda stuff could u do? I will be just about 12 weeks along and am not exactly sure what i can do. I wanted to feed stingrays and snorkel but im not sure if im able to. I m pretty sure i cannot jetski ...which im not particularly happy bout lol. I plan on asking my dr, but my appt isnt until 3 days before we leave and i would rather have some plans.

Veronica,

I don't think you'll have a problem feeding the stingrays in Grand Cayman at all because the water is waist deep and you'll be able to stand. If you are feeding them on Castaway Cay, I think you'll only be knee deep... shouldn't be a problem. If you are going on any "boat" excursions, I guess you'll have to make sure the sea is calm, as I'm sure you won't want to be bounced around.

Jet-skiing, probably not. Snorkeling should be no problem as there are no pressure problems that would be a problem if you were SCUBA diviing. Snorkeling is just swimming, usually slowly, and salt water is extremely buoyant and makes swimming a lot easier actually. Of course, I'm just speculating and I would run everything by your OB/GYN.

I also got my Docs today, Now to get everything organized, I am sending a box to the port with all the miscellaneous stuff, like the over the door shoe holder, powerstrip, laundry tabs, wrinkle release, air freshner and of course the costumes. If I didnt I wouldnt have room for clothes in the suitcase I am looking forward to my first DIS meeting, I have never done one of these, We have done other ones before but not through DIS...Happy Packing everyone

Hi Everyone!
Got the suitcases out & started putting everything out. I am already done with DS7 clothes. they are all ready to go. We got the kids their suits, they wiil look so cute with jacket & ties. I still don't have a dress. I'll go look next week.
My DS11 decided to start packing his own suitcase, lol, I just have to make sure what is in there.
Going to get the kids thier costumes tonight & maybe look for something for myself. I might even have DH thinking about dressing up for MNSSHP on halloween. I saw that it is sold out.
DS7 wants to be jengo fett (don't know if they will have that so he may have to settle with boba fett or a storm trooper) DS11 wants to be scream.
I was Madonna last year for school, I was thinking maybe a pirate then maybe it can double for pirate night.
We did book the Mexican cusine Workshop & tasting for DH & myself in Cozumel. It sound like fun.
I think we might just get a cab to 7 mile beach in cayman & walk around key west (check out the butterfly conservatory & get a late lunch.
I can't wait!! Just have to remember to send in letters to the kids teachers, DS11's won't be too happy, he is in middle school & they really frown on family vacations durig school year
Can't wait to play bingo!!!!

Got our docs today!!! Now I am sorting thru the summer clothes getting ready to pack! Unfortunately the boys are still wearing shorts--I wish the weather would make up its mind so I can pack!

 

[iwannabeminnie]

No docs for me.

 

[3cheers4DIS]

Docs arrived yesterday !!!!!

 

[SamIAm21]

No docs for me.

Given what our fliers said from Galaxsea, I wouldn't expect them for at least another few days. Between the 10th and 7th day before the cruise. That's still at least a week away yet.

 

[love2travel]

No docs for me.

Just checked my mail, nothing yet.

 

[SweetSpot]

Ours came UPS not regular mail so they still may arrive today. The documents have shrunk every year. Nothing really but booklets yet everyone here is thrilled to have them in hand.
