Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.10

Hi everyone.
Sorry I just havent been able to keep up with this thread at all.

I hope everyone is nearly or finished packing and ready for their cruise .
I still have quite a lot of packing to do, we are taking far too much, but I am one of the 'what if I need it' packer. Also we are at Disney for 2 weeks after as well.
Then its just the usual last few days routine, of cleaning the house, sorting out my Tortoise and making sure all the bills are paid.

Just wanted to wish everyone SAFE TRAVELS and will see you all at the meet on Saturday.

Also to those who are leaving early for Barcelona, I hope you have a great time.

No, I didn't, Marilyn. I did see posting but it wasn't the one that was a .pdf or for the Apple machines. I thought I read after we posted that it was going to be updated once again today. I'm gonna hold on for a bit.

Michael

Thanks Michael. I just wondered if I was doing something wrong or couldn't find the correct link.

Just a little bit of good news. Well as good as it will get.

Our lovely neighbour who has terminal bowel cancer had his follow up scan last week to see how the strong chemo was doing. He has just been for the result and sent a text to us to say the primary(bowel) tumour hasn't grown, and that some of the cancerous liver cells have shrunk!! If nothing had improved, or the tumours actually grown, he would not be going to have any more chemo.

Anyway he is having a rest from Chemo to give his body time to recover, seeing the Oncologist in 6 weeks and having another scan in December. They hope to get away for a vacation to their holiday apartment on Cyprus in about a month. That was his first aim. Well done to him for reaching it. His second aim is to see his son graduate as a Doctor next year. He and his wife are amazing.

Anyway, just wanted to share. It was weighing on our minds a bit with us going away tomorrow and the results being today.

Ya think my life can get anymore stressful???

YES!!!!

Just spent the past 6 hours in the ER with Howard
Kidney stones got the best of him again.
He gets sicker every time.
I think when we get back.. Im finding another Dr to handle this

OK.... over my rant:rolleyes

Tomorrow... last of the to do list

chat with ya tomorrow


Annie

Sorry to hear about Howard!! Hope he is feeling better soon!
Isn't it a good feeling to be almost done?

 

[birkner]

Safe travels, Noel and John!

See you on the Magic!

Thank you Min Yu. Safe and comfortable travels to you and your family!! See you in Barcelona on the Magic!!

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Well I nearly posted this YouTube video again because it's what I was thinking. The words are just perfect! It does make me a little misty thinking about what an amazing journey this has been so far with all of you!!

Ok, FINALLY you made me scream "were going on a disney cruise" and then I cried some, in fact I am still bloody crying!

Well, we found out that Cruise Formalwear only had Marc's order for his tux and not mine! Hmpffff! I THOUGHT he wanted to have dinner together......

So, the black jacket and shoes stay home while the white jacket, Mickey cummerbunds, vests, ties, studs, and cufflinks get packed! I did NOT want to pack another pair of shoes!!

LOTS of running around today - making sure we have time to get the dogs to the kennel. At least 3 of them will think they're on vacation; No. 4, not so much.

Now, where did we put those suitcases?????

Michael

Im dropping the beags of tommorow. you better get packing!

If I can't manage to get the Navigator downloaded onto my iPad, is there someone taking extra printed ones? I so wanted it on the iPad though. Perhaps PJ or Sarah will be along soon and tell us where it is.

arg, I could have done it but too late now,sorry.

Okay, packing is complete. We're both sort of confused though. We fit everything into one suitcase each. We had a large and a small one set to go but we've chucked the small one back to the closet. A small carry-on bag for each of us - can't forget the computer! - and we're set.

What were y'all worried about?????

(Okay, you'll see lots of the same shirts at dinners but.....)

Michael

Cant wait to meet you guys...............

Safe travels and take care Noel and John. Enjoy your manicures etc. I am not at all jealous looking at ALL those MANY bags

See you in Barcalona

Don't be jealous as DH has to schlepp them around the airport!! We were allowed 6 but I only took 5!! Not counting the one I shipped!!

 

[vakamalua]

Noel,

Bon Voyage and safe travels to you and John!

Thanks for all your hard work on the Madeira tour--we are really looking forward to it! And thanks for making me feel so welcome when I joined the cruise and DIS two months ago!

Looking forward to meeting you both...

Andrea

 

[birkner]

Finished work

Now , I was going to go to bed for a few hours but my head is buzzing with all the stuff I have to do, going to pack, cause Im dreadingt hat the most then we will see.
Noel, I hope Ive not missed you, be safe and we will see you soon.

Still here for a few more hours anyway!! You have a safe and comfortable journey as well. See you on the Magic!!

Day 4 of getting up early! 3:30a was hard to come by this morning. Thank goodness Walmart is open 24 hrs. We went shopping early this morning. DD kept asking why no one was there. It's 10a and everyone is down for their afternoon nap. They'll go to bed at 4p this afternoon. DH is having such a hard time. I think we might take some Tylenol PM to help me and him go to sleep.

Unfortunately, DS started in with a slight cough and runny nose. So, we are so praying he doesn't get what DD had with the croup. She's off the steroids now. I finished packing all but our last minute items. I really can't believe we fit everything! Although, with all our checkins and carryons we'll have 7 bags!! Thank goodness we had all the diapers and swim diapers delivered to our room. There's no way we could've fit 90+ diapers in a suitcase. Totally worth the money! Well, I'm going to get some stuff done during naptime. 3 more day till we leave!! YIPEE!! Can't believe our countdown chain is almost gone!!

Very late getting on the Dis this morning. I had such a good night's sleep and John let me sleep in till almost 9am, completely unheard so. Boy, I have so much to do I could have done with being up at 6am, but for sure I feel so much better!! Anyway the Dis was down when i got on the computer as it always is for about 15 minutes at that time, so have been so busy defuzzing etc I have only just got back. And, I couldn't find our thread!! I thought it was way down the page and wondered what was up....... until I saw this one!! I haven't been to the old one yet to finish off though.

Lucky woman!! What a great DH!! I missed posting on thread 9 as well.

We leave tomorrow morning too. See you Saturday!! Safe travels to you.

I feel so much better seeing someone with as much stuff as we will have!!! Thank you. Save journey and see you soon.

I think we will take the award for most luggage!!

Oh isn't it awful when that happens. Glad you got your bags back so quickly though. It is one of the reasons we always arrive a few days before a cruise just in case bags go missing, giving some time for them to turn up. We had a bag not arrive home with us once from Lanzarote and because that company only flew Mondays and Thursdays, it was the 4 days later that we received it. But, we did receive it back, full of dirty washing too!!! Sometimes people never get their bags back.

I hope all goes well for you this time with your luggage!!

See you on the Magic!!

 

[birkner]

Well Dis Friends,

The day has arrived!!!! I'm heading to the airport to start my journey. Thanks for all of the wonderful planning and chatting! I can't wait to meet all of you!!! It's going to be a MAGICAL adventure!!!!

Adios,
Dorothy

I probably have missed you but still wishing you a safe and comfortable journey. See you on the Magic!!

This is our last day in Barcelona before we leave tomorrow morning for Girona. We´ll spend 2 nights there, visit the Dali Museum and then return to BCN Thursday afternoon. Today we spent the day walking in Barri Goti again. The old buildings and alleyways are fascinating. The weather is still very warm and sunny. Hopefully it keeps up for all of you coming soon.

El Cortes Ingles has everything you need, all American and European brands of cosmetics are available, so if you are having problems with luggage weight, shop in BCN.

Safe trip for all of you coming in the next few days.

Thanks for the ehads-up on the cosmetics! I will be shopping in Barcelona for sure !!

Yes, she was given the new meds today so we're crossing everything she doesn't have a bad reaction to them. She's not too good just now and I just don't know what to do to help her........*sigh*

Poor Becky .. she is definitely having a tough time of it. Hope those new medications work for her and she starts to feel a bit better as soon as possible. In the meantime for you both.

Okay, packing is complete. We're both sort of confused though. We fit everything into one suitcase each. We had a large and a small one set to go but we've chucked the small one back to the closet. A small carry-on bag for each of us - can't forget the computer! - and we're set.

Well done you on your disciplined packing .... can you pop around and do mine !!!

Just a little bit of good news. Well as good as it will get.

Pleased to hear thatyour neighbour had some positive news ... it must be such a difficult and worrying time for him and his family. Hopefully he will improve enough to get a way on that vacation.
