[sokay168]

Yes Krista we all need to have a drink. You and I have already discussed this remember. When the guys are off to the "Up to no good" excurision with Joe we are having a drink.

Traci,

Did you check if there is a Liqueor Store that you can take a cab to? I called our hotel and they said the shuttle driver will drive us to get all we need. If you want anything let me know I can bring it on for you. I'll have plenty that one more bottle wont make a difference. And you can always buy some at port of Tuesday (restock)

 

[Joe from London]

Love that little drink-man. Is that an imperial pint or what???

 

[SplashMountainManiac]

WOOOOO!!! Only 3 days and two exams left. Not too much longer till we will all be crossing the gangway. Hope everyone is having a good week and safe travels.

 

[wmdoucet]

I have met two familes on the cruise graphics thread that are on the same sailing as us. Do not all dissers join the meet thread? I'm not sure but did invite them to.

Hope everyone is doing ok. Today is a much better day so far than yesterday.

I'm going crazy with the thoughts of packing and getting stuff ready. I still am having dreams every night about the cruise.

Hi everyone,

My name is Wendy and I'll be sailing with my husband JM, our sons Ben (8 mths) and Owen (3.5 yrs) and their Grandpa Pete. We are getting so excited. I bumped into Traci on the boards earlier today and decided to pop in to introduce ourselves. I have to admit - there are far too many messages to possibly catch up with the group! Haha.

Traci mentioned a meet and greet on Saturday - in the Promenade lounge was it? We're going to do our best to stop by. Anyone else travelling with kids around the same ages as ours? Anyone else bringing Grandparents?

Looking forward to meeting you all soon.

Wendy

 

[SplashMountainManiac]

Welcome aboard. Glad to have you. We will be meeting at 3pm in the promenade lounge on Saturday. Hope to see you there.

Welcome Wendy. The question about bring grandparents. How about, How many of you are grandparents. I was thinking I was probably the oldest one of the group and I probably will still be. Welcome to your Mom and Dad too.

Most have them have already left for WDW or other places near the port. I am surprising my son with this cruise for his 10th birthday. So it will be myself,myhusband and my son 10. Hope to meet u soon.

Wendy~Welcome to the group! My children are close in age to yours, I have a daughter who is 9 and a son who is 4.

Traci~Thanks for the page number to the graphics. Now I'm sending out a big SOS to you since I am not the least bit crafty and I"m really struggling to make t-shirts and magnets. I am using wilton transfers and I need to upload the image; however, the image is in Paint and I believe it needs to be in jpg. format or the like. Do you have any tips? I swear I'll be crafty in my next life! I can barely sew a button. The lady at the dry cleaners made me come in the back and learn...I thought she liked charging me $1 per button

[Laurie from London]

Hi everyone

We are almost ready!
I have one question, if anyone can help...
Do people bring their own travel mugs and/or water bottles or are we likely to find that we won't use them once onboard?
I was thinking of bringing our stainless water bottles, but don't want to lug them if you guys say we won't end up using them much. What do you think?

 

[worfiek]

Traci~HUGE thanks!!! I just placed the finished t-shirts in their bedrooms to surprise them in the morning. Thanks again.

Laurie~I am going to stop and pick up spring water bottles when we pick up the wine. If I didn't have that in the plan already, I would bring something similar to what you are describing.

I cannot believe we leave for the airport in less than 48 hours!!!

Paula

 

[LindaBabe]

Welcome, Wendy!

I'm grandma age. Kathy is Mom X 4 Grandma X 4

Paula, Glad Traci was able to help you figure it out!

Traci, have you not told that poor kid YET?????

Happy Day, all!

 

[COWGIRL1]

Thanks for the info on the weather. I haven't started to pack yet, so now I am getting a little nervous about not having enough time to pack. We leave for the airport Friday at 4:30 am. Was gonna pack today, BUT Old Navy was having areally good sale and needed to get odd and end things at Target: so I spent my day happily shopping instead of packing!!!

Guess I'll be busy tomorrow. Do you think we will need a jacket?


Kim

 

[LindaBabe]

Good morning!

I would definitely take a sweater or jacket. You'll need the wrap in the dining room for the air conditioning. And, it's always breezy on deck, so you might want one for evening deck parties like pirates, especially if you chose deck 10, ab ove the crowd.

Today is laundry and (re) packing. Then we're going for barbecue and over to my cousin's to look at old photos.

Happy day, all!

 

[TiggerzFan]

WELCOME aboard, Wendy. I have a two girls, 7 and 3 (well turns 4 this month). There seem to be quite a few children in the 2-5 age bracket.

Traci - HOW have you held out this long with Nathan? You'd better post a pic when you tell him!!!

Paula - you're a woman after my own heart. Not so crafty here, either, and definitely no whiz with a needle/thread! Can't remember the last time I used one.

Did someone say Ladies' Cocktail Hour???

And, HOW DARE they have the boards down last night for maintenance. I needed my fix!

 

[stampinshauna]

Good morning everyone!

This might be my last time checking in before the cruise. I am actually IN THE AIR (at 33000 feet) between Atlanta and Orlando right now. They gave out a code for free wifi on the flight, so I had to come and say hello.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday. I did pack my extra wristbands in case anyone would like some. Just come find me at the meet.

Have a safe trip! Saturday will be here before we know it.

 

[LindaBabe]

YEAH Shauna! The crowd begins to gather I am SO excited!

Laundry is in now, the motel room is beginning to look like a generic room again. The last bag is on the bed awaiting the clean clothing.

 

[glindamood]

Welcome Wendy - we are a fun loving bunch.

Well, two bags are shut and in the car and the rest are ready to go. I did leave one open in case I forgot something but didn't want them sitting in the backseat during my stops about town this morning.

I don't know if I will have a chance to check in later but everyone safe travels and we will see you Saturday!

Happy Day, all!

Nope I have not told Nathan yet. He will find out tomorrow when I pick him up from school early and we are heading to the airport. He is gonna flip. I'm getting excited. I can hardly keep it in now.

I will definately tell everyone how the surprise went and post pics. Cocktail hour OH YES!

I also tried to get on last night and the board was down. Seriously don't they know we are getting ready to go on our cruise.

Have a good day everyone. We leave tomorrow!!!!
