October 27, 2007 - Cruising around the Moon - A Magical All Hallows Eve Part 3

[cruisecrzy]

We love the sign, and look forward to displaying it.
I think we'll need an adult scavenger hunt on embarkation day: Meet in terminal to start, go to Kimmielees to obtain bubbles, to DC100's to drop off candy, Goofy pool at 3pm, Muster Stations at 4pm, back to your room for dinner prep, finish at dinner and find out who your tablemates are.

S&C

That was too funny!!

I'm hoping to bring the bubbles with me at 3:00 One less thing for you to have to scrounge for!!!

Hey, if Noah's MP3 player requires being hooked into a computer to charge... how do charge it on the ship?

THOMAS
Oh well what are ya going to do, its not like we can live without it, its MID-OCTOBER AND IS CURRENTLY 91 DEGREES IN MY HOUSE!!!!!!!needless to say alot of cruise prep has come to a HAULT, its just to hot to do anything!! with that said I still think I'll be fine I really have the rest of the week since I will only be working 4 hours Mon-Wed.

It's almost TIME TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[vital]

Good Morning Moonies! Here is a summation of our camping trip:

Truck wrecked on stump- Check

Ethan burned finger- Check

Ethan's best friend hot marshmallow to face- Check

Ethan getting glow stick juice in eye- Check

Paula not having breakdown- Check (only b/c I have this to look forward too)

UGH! I'm ready to go. Taking E to grandparents for the night since they are out of school tomorrow. I'm going to use the opportunity to pack all I can while he's gone. That way when he's gone again Wed night I'll only have last minute things to do! Can I get a WOOP WOOP!?

I've got to air out the tent and finish washing clothes. I'll check back in later!

Oh yeah, Kim, I'll be glad to twist your arm and make you try the drink of the day every day. Nothing wrong with branching out a little

 

[vital]

This time next week I'll be lounging with said drink of the day in hand! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, can't you just feel the ocean breeze in your hair now? Smell the salt water........

 

[jns]

Had to stop by befor we go to the Wedding Have A Great Day

I'm bummed for you.

...the excursions and diamond you can do without. You'll still be in the Carribean! (with the moonies) after almost 10 months (and all of the ups and downs), its almost cruise time

By the way, I don't belittle the significance of having to spend $6000 suddenly

Don't worry, Dancing Candycane, it will be ok

He forgot the first thing: find Moonies in terminal, specifically Melanie, to get bracelets

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

we have 95% of our clothes packed. Must get back to it. Promised Sean I would be 100% packed today. My next day off is Thursday...

 

[Disneygrl36]

Paula for all the accidents on the camping trip & good for you for not freaking out. And I will give you a WOOP WOOP!!!!!!!!!!!

Babs hope you had fun at the wedding!!!!!!

Pam.....sorry about your A/C. That bites. But you still will be having the time of your life right?

We got the suitcases out & did some strategic planning. I am thinking we will stop & get a case of water on the way to port as if I remember correctly they charge a ridiculous amount for a case on the ship.........can't find last years bill anymore to look it up. Anyone know much it is?

This time next week I will be getting ready to meet some of my Moonie girlfriends for our scrapbook swap.

We will have a laptop. So you can swing by 7630 and plug it in.

 

[cruisecrzy]

So we went shopping today and found cool things for our DD gift from "Mickey" bag and for her to randomly disburse in Fish Extenders.
big
I also decided on a Halloween Costume......a surgeon. That won't take up as much in my luggage as a poodle skirt.

Can't convince my DH to do a costume, but he will do a pirate shirt so I will stop while I am ahead.

Off to get some not so fun work done.

 

[Disneygrl36]

Michelle,
I printed the sign out on magnetic paper, but the image didn't turn out real sharp probably because I don't have a very great quality printer, so if you don't mind will you do one for me.
Thanks,
Melanie

On that wonderful calendar with all of the birthdays, anniversaries, etc., I was looking for our group's name on the right in the red box and it isn't there.

I would really like to thank all of you for being so entertaining, informative and giving. I look forward to bracelets, fish extenders, bubbles and wonderful ideas for signs. I didn't volunteer for anything but let me know if I can help in any way.

My oldest son called me on Friday night and told me that he had one ticket to see The Eagles and the Dixie Chicks in LA on Sunday night (tonight) and he wanted me to get on a plane to go with him. His wife is unable to go. My husband had a frequent flier ticket so here I am, in LA, reading the boards for the first time this week, having blown off a workday at the theatre.

I say, when your kids grow up and want to do things with you and for you, let them. It shows that they love you. I have been to very few concerts in my life so I'm looking forward to it!

Looking forward to meeting all of you. Haven't even started packing yet.

Beth

 

[gizimoto]

Hi everyone!
Last minute shopping here...target had 30% off on costumes and kmart had 40% off. Kmart actually had a good selection and pretty good quality costumes. I was able to pick up a "pirate" type outfit so I'm all set now (don't have to use regular clothes and "adapt" them).

I'm planning on getting clothes out and folded up tonight. Will pack on Wednesday night.

We are so excited..only a few more days til we cruise!!

 

[dizzi]

I'm hoping to bring the bubbles with me at 3:00 One less thing for you to have to scrounge for!!!

Hey, if Noah's MP3 player requires being hooked into a computer to charge... how do charge it on the ship?

Depending on what kind he has.............I HAVE A CHARGER I AM BRINGING!!!!
All of ours fit in it we each have a diferent kind! it is actually from Disney and you just plug it into the wall and then plug the MP3 player into the charger.................Any tiem you need just come on by and use it...........FOR REAL.............We will just swap charging ours at night ...........so just le tm eknow when his is dyeing!

PAM ....sorry about your air conditioner, i cannot imagine being without it!

PAULA....congrats on getting through the weekend.

well off to never never land..................nope.......i wish off to pack!

 

[dizzi]

I was thinkign about how excited the kids are going to be and that i couldnt wait to get their expressions on camera......
We realized that they do not know that we have a verrrrrrrrandah darling room! I almost forgot that i didnt tell them, that think at the most we have is a port hole!
So i want to have Dh go into room first and video tape them coming int ot he room.
We did this several years ago at the beach with a balcony room right on the water and they were thrilled cant imagine what they will be like for this!!



It is getting so close now!
