Sept 17 2005 Magic - am i alone on the ship?

[Tammy1]

Yep...Ksumom is right Space Bags are the bomb...I tried mine out on a large stack of clothes and BINGO!!! Instance space!!! All I can say is Cool Beans!!

Karen, yes we are staying in the Radisson at the Port, and yes I have that passporter and will look you up and read all about it.

Christal, I guess we don't realize how lucky we really are, I do hope your coworker recovers her memory...that is so sad I feel so sory for her family and friends and her.

Well another day closer to YAHOO!! OK so I'm releaving a little STRESS!! Can't really blame me for it

Was out working today and in my job I travel soooo I stopped at a thrift store, something just pulled me right inside...and got some cool stuff for night for the kids.

Got to stay focused on work not play...

Hey, like I said before we don't really drink alot at home but on cruises we seem to. Does anyone have some good rescipes on like tropical drinks? I have found those are a little more to my liking instead of the hard stuff. 'Course a couple bottles of Champange will find there way into my cooler bag

I stumbled across a drink by accident one night while at Texas Roadhouse... it was called a Jamacian Cowboy... YUMMMM I'm not much of a drinker, but it was GOOOOD... I asked the bartender what was in it and it was..

Pineaple Juice
OJ
Margarita Mix
Peach Schnaps
Coconut Rum

I tried making it at home and just kinda threw the ingred. together on ice and YUMMMM....



Man, now I have to go buy some OJ and Pineaple juice!!! I have a craving for one!!!!

Susan, we are on the 12:30pm flight from Orlando to KC on Saturday. I'll bet we are on the same flight. We will have to rush together!

We opted for the later direct flight out on Friday. We live abt 3-3.5 hours from KCI, so it will make it easier on me, at least.

I know what you are saying abt shoes. I brought one whole suitcase with shoes last year! I know I need less daytime outfits this year, tend to stay in swimsuit all day, even on port days, but have more princess dresses to bring.

Sounds like I better do some planning! Yipee.

 

[Tammy1]

Ksumom, that does sound very YUMMY!! I'll have to give it a try here at home to make sure DH agrees..

Lord I haven't even thought about SHOES!!! Your right there's not a space bag for those

You're right.. it is 12:30pm... Guess we'll have to rush back to the airport together!! How many are in your group? We've got 6, so we'll take up a huge section of the plane!! What are kids ages agan?? I could look it up but too lazy!

Where are you all coming from? I have a 6 year old son who'll be with us, and an 11 year old DD who is always looking for a new email buddy!!! She just asked me lastnight if there was anyone else her age she could email with!! She's my little social butterfly!!

Hey Goofyboots, welcome aboard to the Flip Floppin' Castaways. Always glad to have newcomers join the party!

Hope everyone is having a great day so far.

Later everyone,
Emily

 

[jennat]

Goofyboots, WELCOME!!! TO you and your family! Glad to have you!

Susan, How do you get the air out of the bags? How are the wrinkles? Can you repack them on vacation (get the air out of the bags)?

Crystal, Sorry about your co-worker. One of my clients just called and her daughter jumped off a 20 foot cliff and missed the water...no short term memory, no critical thinking skills, no reasoning and that's just the mental part. SOOOOO scary. Makes you grateful for all you have. Life can change like that.

 

[jennat]

The Flip Floppin Castaways info sheet is updated. Anyone who wants to add info, let me know and I will send out updated copies to anyone I have e-mail for (and anyone else who wants it). It has infor such as screen name, room number, names and ages, city/state, e-mail, excursions and even palo res. Just saves looking back through thousands of posts. I can add where people are staying if we think we need it but I thought it would be fine without. If I don't have some of your info and you would like it to be included, post it.

 

[rotary2808]

Jen, I'll take an updated copy please. Thanks. Emily

 

[ksumom]

Susan, How do you get the air out of the bags? How are the wrinkles? Can you repack them on vacation (get the air out of the bags)?

It's like a ziplock bag, I haven't actually used them yet, I may try it for our Colorado trip to test them out. From what I hear no wrinkles... but I'll believe it when I see it! You roll it & squeeze the air out the other end then zip or seal it up at the other end... you can reuse them... some types have a vaccum pump to pull the air out a hole, or use your vaccum cleaner hose.

Anyone else have experience under your belt on the bags?? I'll let ya know what I find out.

 

[ksumom]

Jen, I'll take an updated copy please. Thanks. Emily

Me too!! I've tried to keep everyone straight, but I keep getting everyone mixed up! Like who's who... from where, with who and how many kids ... kids ages stuff like that!! Too much to remember!!!

 

[missyoh8]

I have found myself going back more than once to figure people and kids out.

I mentioned to Jen in a PM that exchanging cell phone numbers might not be a bad idea. A few of us had them last year and then.........turned out we really needed them! It was fabulous to be able to share information in an unforseen situation. DCL was really not communicating well so we could at least pass on to eachother what we knew.

Thanks for doing that list Jen,

Missy

 

[goofyboots]

we will be there. dh, dw, ds,(7)

 

[Tammy1]

Jen, I know in the begining we were waiting to order....is it ok to order now?? I must have missed that thread sorry

Hope all have a good night

 

[jennat]

Tammy, I haven't received it yet but should be receiving it any day. You can order if you want but may as well wait for me to check the quality (I worry about the pixels)

Susan, no bags under my belt....bags under my eyes and rolls under my belt

If anyone wants to send cell phone and e-mail (for maybe after the cruise) to me, I will put them on. I think it is safe to say noone in this group will sell them off for profit!

 

[ksumom]

Jen,

That's why I don't wear belts... they show off the rolls!!! Both the northern & southern hemisphere!! (Belly button is the equator!!)

 

[Tammy1]

Jen Send me an updated copy too please... they advertise no wrinkles but I too will believe it when I see it. We're going out of town soon, I'll use mine also.

Tonight looking over DD dress choice

 

[Tammy1]

Jen sent you an e-mail..I love the journal so I can take notes everyday of our wonderful experience on board with our Dis friends
