Darn it I am not done shopping. I just remembered that I need to buy more tapes for our video camera.

We didn't start using our Disney Visa until June again (used it Jan-Apr since another card I had couldn't earn any more points for its year).

There are better cards out there, but since one I was using changed the rebate %, I switched back to Disney.

We cleared the points out for the January cruise and are now back up to about 600 for this cruise. We should be at about 650 to 700 before we leave.

We make our final transfer as soon as the last statement before the cruise comes out.

We also got a second card in Suz name so that we can put any Disney vacation purchases on it and take full advantage of the 0% (it's a mess on a card that you do everyday purchases on). We pay our bill in full every month and when you make a return, it will decrease the 0% amount (after the non-zero percent stuff is paid, it goes towards the promo purchases). With a separate card, you don't need to worry about the returns. Plus, if you max out the points in one year (we did that our first year), you can go to the second card.

We kept our eyes open for you guys the little time we were there but didn't see you. It was a spur of the moment decision to stop and eat there, we were all suddenly hungry and wanted more than a snack. Next time we head up north we'll have to let you know and maybe we could have a mini meet in Tomah.

Too bad you didnt holler...we would have had subs with ya....

If you want some easy points, set up your phone, cable, cell phone and utility bills to charge automatically to your card.

I'm still here but probably not too much longer, need to get up early for work tomorrow and Al wants to use the computer too. It was nice because we had dinner at their house so we had a good home cooked meal that I didn't have to cook other than bringing a salad!

Where did you go? I love going out to dinner with friends. Then you don't have to worry about cleaning up the mess.

 

[JLDSMD]

Well kids, it's time for me to call it a night.

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

I keep forgetting to do that. Do you have We Energies for your electric and gas, can you even do that with them?

I just read this on another thread.

When we cruised in '04, there were 2 little girls ages 5 and 7 or so in thongs. VERY disturbing. They were from Brazil...go figure.


I could not believe it.

TIP

Because the ship moves, the public bathroom stalls have doors on them that normally are shut - unlike land bathrooms where unoccupied stalls have open doors. So when you go into a bathroom, the doors will likely be shut - occupied or not.

IF the person inside has twisted the lock, there will be a little red indicator that the stall is occupied. Look for that.

But the real tip is - it seemed to take some people about five days to discover they need to lock the public stall doors. LOCK THE DOORS.

The secondary tip is - even if it isn't red, you may want to tap or peek under the stall door for feet. Some people don't catch on fast.

Cass I am trying to catch up from a few days so I just read this. How scary for you to go through this. I hope you are feeling better and istening to everyones advice to get some rest. You have been extra busy lately and your body is probanly exhausted.

Speaking of being out of it....

I had a very scary experience tonight. I lost time, not exactly sure how long but I think it was about 10-15 mins. It's never happened before and I am still feeling a little freaked out and worried.

We went upstairs to tuck Kira into bed and to say prayers. I remember going up there and I remember starting prayers, but I don't remember finishing them and I don't know what I did afterwards. I don't even remember leaving her room. The next thing I remember is looking at the bonus room (Rob and my brother had just finished moving my computer from the bonus room to my scrap room downstairs) and I felt very displaced. I didn't really recognize the room and then I walked downstairs to where Rob was putting my computer together and I didn't recognize any place I was going...almost like I had never been in this house.

Rob looked at me and asked if I was ok and I sat on the stairs beside him and just started crying. It was really scary, for both of us I think. He walked me through the last 30 mins and I realized that I don't remember leaving Kira's room.

It was very scary. Still is actually, I feel a little disoriented still.

I have never EVER not remembered something. Not even when I was young and drank like a lush. Even when I was completely plastered I remembered everything. I am the kind of person that can meet you once and not see you for 10 years and I will remember who you are, where I saw you last and what we said to each other, so for me, this is very scary.

Think I am gonna go do some research on this!

Tip

If you do the dolphin encounter or swim, wear water shoes. The metal grade that you stand on can really hurt your feet!

On this note if you have never cruised before when you flush the toilet it is very LOUD and can be scarry to children at first.

I second that one, they are about as loud as airplains and trains.

Tip

I read on a post last year before our second cruise, that the coffee table slides up/down. This may not seem like a big deal, but it was. Try it and you'll see.

Nancy can I bring all of Al's dress shirts to you to iron before I pack them for the cruise???? PLEASE I HATE ironing and have been known to rewash something and hope it comes out of the dryer less wrinkled rather than iron it (learned that from my aunt) my mom on the other hand ironed underware, towels and sheets.

Yes, we did it last time with Chuck's suit. This is ironing I should have done after they were laundered. His dinner shirts are mostly Rayon so, they wrinkle easily. I LOVE to iron anyway. Quite therapeutic for me.
