Oct 3, 2009 Wester Carribean

Just wanted to say hello to all. There 3 of us travelling on the cruise. Hubby daughter 9 and myself first time cruising so excited been watching the forum for a few months now but not very good at posting. Looking for tips on excursions any help would be great.:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:
 
:welcome: on board, This is our 5th cruise and first with Disney :woohoo:
My husband, my daughter (4 years) and me..we are from Puerto Rico :flower3:
 
Good Evening Everyone!
This work week is finally over....I thought it would never end! I work in a medical office and things were hectic with all the talk about swine flu. As of today, Florida is now included on the list of states that have documented cases of swine flu. With one of the cases diagnosed locally, everyone here is very nervous and rushing to stock up on N95 respirator masks and Purell.
I am really hoping the situation dies down LONG before we are all set to cruise. Nassau is not one of our favorite ports and we were looking forward to Cozumel! :sad2:
Maybe DCL will contract with another port by then (San Juan would be nice!) or things will return to normal.
It is nice to connect with some of you on FB! Do we have a page on FB just for our cruise? If there is one, can someone please point me in that direction? If not, I think we should.
Enough rambling, I am going to try to go to bed early tonight! TTFN!

Welcome - glad you will be joining us. We will also be cruising with a 9 year old. This will be her first cruise and our second, first DISNEY cruise and we are very excited! I am still looking into the excursions but would love to do some kind of dolpin encounter. What kind of excursions are you thinking about?

Terri
 
Thanks for the welcome. Getting really excited we have never cruised before so it will be all new to us.

Terri we have been thinking about the dolphin encounter as well but there seems to be a couple of places that do it also the option of booking direct or through Disney hopefully somebody else will know more and can guide us.

Hi all. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I hate that they go so quickly. I can't believe it's only 5 more months til our cruise! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!! I've got so much to do and now I feel like there's not alot of time. But it all gets done. :)

I wanted to update you all on Trina. Her knee surgery did in fact go well and she was kept overnight just to make sure there were no complications. She is now staying at her sister-in-law's home for a week or so. She's feeling pretty good and I believe she'll be very ready for the cruise! :)

We're getting new windows for the upstairs tomorrow so the house is going to be somewhat in shambles. We had the downstair windows done about 6 years ago so this will finish them off. Our home was built in 1924 so the original windows allow alot of air through. We're hoping to save energy for the summer/winter. :) Other than that, I don't believe there is much on our plate for the week. On Saturday (the day before Mother's Day) we're taking Lilli to a local dinner theater to see High School Musical. Katelin is staying home with a sitter. :) It'll be fun. I anticipate Sunday (actual Mother's Day) to be a quiet day for us.

I'm sure I'll be back on again this week. But until then, have a fantastic and blessed one! Kristi
 
Yeah we are under the 5 month mark..:banana:..by like a day but we are!! Well busy weekend here. Had an Indian reception on Friday---very neat. Nothing like an American wedding:love:, all culture and Indian food. DH and I had a blast and really enjoyed sharing in our friends day. Then Sat, Nelia had soccer. Something else was Sat but for the life of me I can't :confused3remember...LOL Then Sunday we had Sydney's 3 hrs of dance competition practice:dance3:(comp is May 15th) , her tennis practice for 1 1/2 hrs and while there DH brought Nelia's bike and Nelia with very LITTLE assistance from DH learned how to ride a 2 wheeler.:cool1::yay: She is sooooooooo excited. We told her to ride bike's on Castaway she had to learn this summer so when she is determined she goes all out. We started our Mickey ear flower bed but I need a couple more bricks and some soil to finish it off. Oh and flowers....:rolleyes1 Now this week will be busy again. We are going to be pretty relaxed this coming weekend but then May 15th we will be going to Columbus for Sydney's dance competition. Very hectic but I love it. :woohoo:

Kristi, glad Trina is doing well. Hope to see her on FB a bit. Well I am off to get the kiddos moving for school. it's 6:56 am and they need to start moving...oops maybe I hear Sydney....Nelia I have to roll outta bed , into clothes and out the door...20 mins before school. That girl will NOT function well in HighSchool.:scared1:

Hope you all have a great day.

Jude?? Are u partaking in the FE/SM gifting? Please let me know. Hey all just think we are getting close to full pmt day which means the FE list will close and we can all finalize what were doing!!:yay:

Hello all, just wanted to jump on and say 4 MONTHS AND 4 WEEKS!!:cool1:. It is going to go by soooo fast!
I also am very excited to announce that I have figured out what I'm going to make for the adult FE gifts. :cool1:I'm very excited about it. That being said, if everyone could PM me their address and last name that would be a big help. If you don't want to, or dont feel comfortable giving your address to a psycho disney lady, I totally understand, I can make them without the address too so it's no big deal.

Here's my attempt at posting pictures of some of our dresses, not sure if it's going to work. They don't look all that exciting on the hanger, but they look really cute on.

These are the girls for semi formal night (haven't got mine yet) L to R Ashley Riley and Bailey

Here is three for formal night (maybe--haven't decided yet) L to R mine, Baileys, and either Ashley or Riley, if Riley wears it we have to get it altered, but I don't think it will fit Ash anymore... The green poke a dots in Baileys match the green of the other two dresses, it's hard to tell in this picture...

And last but not least, my dress for Palo. It looks better on then it does in this picture. In the pic it looks black and red, but it's actually dark brown and red (kind of burnt orange/red)

Well, now that you've seen more of our wardrobe than you probably cared to, I hope everyone has a great day.

Hi, a bit unsure about the fe/sm gifting know what they are but not too sure how the fish extender works. If you could maybe let me know I can decide it does sound great

Dis mom your dresses are lovely not sure what I am going to wear don't normally get dressed up.
Judith
 
Hi All......ok

Andrea---nice dresses. love the formal ones.....& love ur palo dress. I don't wear shirts ones often (don't wanna show off the awful thighs...LOL) but that dress is very nice! Hey How's Riley? I hope the Dr. appt was good news although I have a funny feeling it sounded more like the other.
Terri--I hope Amaya is better as well!!! Friends share everything dont they....LOL

Judith--if you go on our web page(Disney dreamers---link located in my signature, it basically explains the FE or the SM. U can PM me anything else U need to know and/or any info needed to partake.

Well off to go back to bed...couldn't sleep so thought a few minutes on the computer and I maybe able to fall back asleep. Think I need a chiopratic adjustment done!

Talk to you all later!
 
Hi all! Busy week for me as usual. Definitely need a mental health day. :)

Hey Andrea, love the dresses! :) You guys are gonna look smashing!!! :) I've gotta take my dress to the tailors to see if he can fix it. I'm starting to worry that it won't be able to be fixed (at least in the wait). We'll have to wait and see. If the tailor can't do it I do have a friend of mine who's amazing at this kinda stuff so I can maybe ask her. :) Hmmmm, now that I think of it, maybe I should touch base with her first. Might save me a few $$$$$ and I know she can do something. :) Will see what happens.

Anyway, I'm hoping shortly here to make a final decision regarding my FE gifts and start getting the materials necessary to put them together. I'm not crafty past my scrapbooking so I'm gonna be simple. Still wanna come up with a nice polo shirt design for our family to wear together. Guess I gotta smack my girl Trina around a bit to shake some design suggestions outta her. :) LOL She's got time right now so I should make her work on something. :) Hee Hee

Well, now it's back to work I go. :( Chao for now! Kristi
 
Hi all, just checking in. Riley is ok, she just has a virus, and Amaya is fine too (her sore throat never amounted to anything, hopefully it stays that way :thumbsup2)
I've been out painting the fence that goes around the swing set today, loads of fun! I'm headed out today to try and find a sweater to go with the dress I'm wearing this weekend. We are flying to so. cal for a wedding. So I wont be on this weekend. I'm hoping to get started on my FE gifts when we get back...we'll see if they turn out.
Well, ta ta for now. Hope everyone has a good day!
Andrea
 
Good Morning! Here we are finally getting some sun. Although next 3 days will have rain. Mothers day 56*. I would just like it to stay around 70* for awhile...not go from 56 to 80 overnight! I just want spring....not summer yet!

Last night I went through everything I have for the cruise and wrote down everyones outfits(8 people) so I could figure out who still needs what! I know anal I am but I want to always be aware or I will over buy! Plus I am buying for 4 others besides my family. My sis in law asked for my assistance so all their clothing and suitcases are in my home...arrghgh!! I have found I am wearing nice tops and dress pants all the casual nights, unless I find a dress I just have to wear. I have always wore dresses so this will be a change.

Well off to break up sibling rivalry....I hate this. Some days I would love to let them just knock each other out but they drive me nuts....Someone please tell me it gets better!
 
Hi all! It's gonna be a nice day here today! At least til late afternoon. :)

Andrea - glad to hear Riley is okay and that Amaya didn't get sick. :) Have fun at the wedding this weekend. :) Safe travels to you and your family. :)

Thankfully the weather cleared up a bit. This morning the workers arrived at our house to replace our kitchen windows and all our upstairs windows (10 total). It's going to make a huge difference with our heating/cooling/energy bills. :) We had the downstairs done (minus the kitchen) about 5-6 years ago. :)

I'm taking a 1/2 day today so I can take Lilli to the dentist for her regular checkup. Katelin and Lilli have terrible allergies this season so both of them are struggling. :( I just pray this gets done with pretty quickly. :) Harrisburg is horrible for allergy sufferers cause we're basically in a valley so things just stick around longer. Anyway, should be a good afternoon. :)

Take it easy all and have a great day! Kristi
