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

[tinker1bell]

I am sitting here resting after repacking again. I have realized that I have a zit on my nose!!!

You would think I was 13 instead of turning 60 in 14 days.

 

[su_kraft]

Which one did you opt for? We've asked our TA to request LAP for us now, since our previous request would have us back in PC for a formal and semi formal.

Rotation 1. I liked it the old way - all things formal in Lumieres... But, I am good now... Thanks to Autumn, and all her special touches I think I am going to make it (without killing the kiddos!)

We are in Miami tonight, again just relaxing and having a great day. Tomorrow evening we fly from here. See you in Barcelona!!!!

Angie, glad you are relaxing!! Hope that Dennis is enjoying his spiffy new vision!! See you soon!!!

Tomorrow Abby is receiving her Goofy call regarding the cruise around noon time. I have never done this before and I am pretty excited. I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully it will be a good start to vacation!

Ok, so this 866 number rings on my phone and Glenn blows it off, but brings me my phone. Same number calls back, I ignore it. DUH!!! It was goofy! I of course panic... then I check email and I can reschedule - so I did for immediate. Run the phone upstairs, it rings, I answer push one and hand it to Becca. Her face lights up!!! PERFECT!!!!

We take off in 21 hours!!!!

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Sue,

Michele and I will switch Martini groups with Ruth and Glenn. With the change in Martini days, it works better for us! I don't know if you need to tell DCL or not but you'll know for your records. So:

Michael & Michele - Martini Group 1 on 25 Sep.

Ruth & Glenn - Martini Group 2 on 26 Sep.

Yeah We have a switch for martini testing. Thank you so much.

Now to get back to the unregular packing and re packing routine.

You made my day

Guys, the ticketing has been done. Please swap tickets onboard!!

Michael - than you so much for this sprinkle of Pixie Dust!!!

I am sitting here resting after repacking again. I have realized that I have a zit on my nose!!!

You would think I was 13 instead of turning 60 in 14 days.

Yeah, so, mine is to the left of my chin... Seriously? I mean really?!? Is this some sort of sick joke??

OK - all clothing is packed, Most toiletries are ready to go. All I need now is a few hours of sleep. We are getting up at 3 (big kids) 4 (middle kid) and 5 (little kid) to do a little sleep adjusting...

Folks, If I don't get on the boards again tonight or tomorrow, it has been an absolute pleasure planning, venting, crying, celbrating, cheering, praying and "living" with you over the past year. I can't wait to meet you all in person, hug and cry... See you all on Friday or Saturday depending on your plans!!!!

last one out be sure to leave the light on so we can find out way back!

I am crying, couldn't have said it better myself and I haven't even seen the ship yet.

Ditto!!

 

[MagicMe]

Jacky and I are leaving for Heathrow to fly to Barcelona early tomorrow. As I'm not sure if I will be able to post again until we're on board, let me just say:

First, it's been a pleasure living with you, waiting patiently with you all for this day to come. Thanks to everyone for helping us through it!

Second, I'm quite looking forward to meeting you all. I believe there's a saying in the Koran, "And if you mingle your affairs with theirs, they are your brothers [and sisters]." As I said in an earlier post, "We are family!"

Third, thanks to the Special People who have worked so hard for us all – especially Sue, Sarah, Noel, Todd, Eric, and many, many others. But ESPECIALLY Sue! You're the top!

(Almost) finally,

Happy Trails, and Safe Travels Everyone. See You REALLY REAL Soon!

And Finally Finally:
TAKE WHAT YOU CAN!

All the best,
Richard & Jacky

GIVE NOTHING BACK!!!! Safe travels and see you in a couple of days!

Yeah We have a switch for martini testing. Thank you so much.

Now to get back to the unregular packing and re packing routine.

You made my day

Yeah - pixie dust sprinkled again!!! So glad everything worked out for both couples!!

We're getting close!

DH is mowing the grass, the car is cleaned out and vacuumed, almost all or bags are packed. Just charging things up and getting the last minute things together. We leave tomorrow afternoon, so we have about 18 hrs yet. My niece is super excited!

The house is a it of a wreck but we're working on that. I have a woman coming in to clean it for us while we are away - so that is super sweet. The house will be better than in recent memory - will help soften the blow of an ended vacation I hope.

Hope everyone is keeping calm and safe travels to everyone!

Safe travels and see you in a couple of days!!!!

Car's been left at the airport so it'll be there for our return flight. Last minute packing in process. We leave tomorrow--being picked up at 2:30 for our 5:40 pm flight to Barcelona.

Safe travels to all. It's been great getting to know you on line, and I look forward to meeting everyone.\

See you in a couple of days!!

Again, safe travels nad see you in a couple of days!!!

Wow - 4 hours and only one page of posts. Definitely getting down to the last few stragglers now!!

Printed out the mini-navigator (looks awesome!), some last minute magnets and just about ready. I have one more day at work, a birthday party for my sister tomorrow night, and then a couple of last minute things before heading out to the airport around 2 on Thursday.

But I'll be back checking many times between now and then!

Thank you for all you have done and well said so looking forward to meeting you in person. And all my dis friends

So I have been busy packing for the last week. Hubby is giving me the look as why am I bringing this and that.

He will get into the swing of it as soon as he gets there I am sure. Ok off to finish more magnets.

All packed except a few odds and sods

 

[Hoagie Pie]

All that talk about zits and I just noticed one under my nose!!! Ahhh! It is contagious like a sneeze or yawn!

 

[LittleDisneyLovers]

I can't believe everyone has time to chat, OMG, I am hectic!
Doing my crazy girl clean, scrubbed all bathrooms, changed all bed sheets, done all washing / ironing, vacuumed and mopped the floors, scrubbed kitchen, polished stainless steel, cleaned windows, etc, etc..... I have a bit of OCD, I like to come to home to clean house

Just wanted to pop on to say I have about a dozen navigators if anyone needs them, Is that enough, should I do more, PM me somebody if I need more!

Also, Last but definitely not least, A massive thank-you to each and everyone of you for welcoming and embracing me when I joined you all last October, I know I joined a year into the planning but you all made me feel right at home.
I have really enjoyed sharing the love, laughter, tears, stress and sometimes pain with you all, You better come back and chat after the cruise!!!!

HUGS AND KISSES, See you all in a couple of days

 

[nacho1337]

Sorry I need to vent.

Chase website is down has been down since yesterday and I need to pay the credit card before me leave. I called the to make a payment over the phone and they said they were going to charge me $9.95 fee to pay in over the phone. I did not do it. Hopefully it will be working tomorrow.

Back to cruise talk

Since you'll be in Orlando after the cruise, can you come to our house?

 

[Hoagie Pie]

Since you'll be in Orlando after the cruise, can you come to our house?

That is a GREAT idea!! I am not far away!

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Well, I've wiped out my adjusted sleeping schedule tonight! I was tired around 5:30 pm. Then I got a burst of excitement around 7:30. So I've been working on my carry-on packing and chatting with friends. I'll be "sleeping in" tomorrow before heading out to the airport early afternoon!

Uh oh. About an hour ago I looked to see what time my haircut/color is today, remembering it was around noon. My own written notation states it was for LAST Tuesday. Seriously.....I've thought all along it was for the day before I left for vaca!....

If not, be forewarned. I'll be a shaggy mess with roots!

Good news! Shelly squeezed me in between appointments! Indeed it was for last Tuesday, and she was worried sick about me because I was a no-show, no call or text returned, and my phone was going directly to vmail. GOD LOVE HER! A girl with a tiara should not have rooted hair!

...Good luck! I can't believe you'll be at the Phila airport and I can't get to see you!! Oh well, see you Friday!!!!!!!!!....

I know!!! Even my friend Peter said to me "I assume your friend who lives down the street from my parents will be taking the train tomorrow....." You've become a famous one amongst my friends!

BTW, make sure you tell your mom that she'll be missed for me!

Have had a rubbish afternoon with major hiccup with dd...........

I'm beginning to think I shouldn't be going on this holiday and should be staying at home to keep an eye on her I just really need this break though.......and Mark even more so

Someone get me out of here please and tell me everything will be ok while I'm away!

It WILL be alright, and mum and dad NEED to take this time! You'll be an even better mum once you have some time to unwind and regroup.

...UUGH! Underwires are not meant to be slept in. Yeah, I dod go there.

So This morning, I got huge kid hugs and things are OK.....

You DID go there! I would expect you to, too!

SO SO SO glad that the morning was better for you!

I am sitting here resting after repacking again. I have realized that I have a zit on my nose!!!

You would think I was 13 instead of turning 60 in 14 days.

Well they say Disney does make you a kid again!

....Folks, If I don't get on the boards again tonight or tomorrow, it has been an absolute pleasure planning, venting, crying, celbrating, cheering, praying and "living" with you over the past year. I can't wait to meet you all in person, hug and cry... See you all on Friday or Saturday depending on your plans!!!!...

PERFECTLY stated! I ditto that!

I can't believe everyone has time to chat, OMG, I am hectic!....

Also, Last but definitely not least, A massive thank-you to each and everyone of you for welcoming and embracing me when I joined you all last October, I know I joined a year into the planning but you all made me feel right at home.

HUGS AND KISSES, See you all in a couple of days

It really has been a whirlwind of emotions for us all over this period of time. Now it's time to CELEBRATE all we've shared and have yet to share!!

 

[Hoagie Pie]

Kimberly - YOU SHOULD BE IN BED!!!! But I don't blame you for staying up. Have a wonderful flight and see you on Saturday!!!

 

[MagicMe]

I know!!! Even my friend Peter said to me "I assume your friend who lives down the street from my parents will be taking the train tomorrow....." You've become a famous one amongst my friends!

Unfortunately, I'm working until at least 3:30 and I have a birthday party for my sister at 7PM so even if I could sneak by security, I don't think there is time!! Sides, I don't need to be locked up the day before I leave and I'll see you for 14 days straight!!!!

Have a terrific and safe trip and enjoy your extra day in Barcelona. Hopefully we'll run into each other on Friday or at the HRC. I'll be tracking your flight to see that you got off on time!!

I SERIOUSLY can't believe I leave tomorrow (I can say that since it's 12:35 Wednesday morning here!!! ) - oh and Kimberly - YOU LEAVE TODAY!!!!!

Back to cruise talk

We actually canceled our Chase Disney Visa yesterday. We had a conversation with them yesterday that was the final straw in our patience since the credit card regulations changed in February. So we are technically Disney Visa-less.

 

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Just curious. Does your store sell white or glow in the dark vinylmations?

No, my store doesn't...yet. I heard we may have them by March. They are so popular that I really hope we get them in sooner!

DS had his ingrown toenail worked on this morning. I have never seen this kid more excited to go to the doctor. He's been looking forward to it for days now. I told him how everyone on here was telling me that you feel so much better once its been taken care of. I sent him to school today even though they suggested he take it easy. I just couldn't justify missing another day of school so close to the cruise.

I have no idea how long he's been suffering from this, but that piece of nail they took out was huge, like its been digging in there for years. Poor kid, no wonder he was in so much pain.

I can't believe he made it this many weeks without having it removed. He is very brave because those things really HURT! I'm sure he feels better already!

I had an interesting day. I went shopping with my mom to Target to pick up a few things and as we are walking back to the car, something blows in my eye. After trying to flush it out with saline solution, nothing was happening so my mom called the doctor and made an appointment for me. It hurt so much that I went back to my mom's house and just slept for a while. The doctor put some numbing drops in my eye and it felt better instantly. It was a small scratch on my cornea and he gave me some eye drops to help it heal. I've put the eye drops in a few times tonight and it feel so much better already! It was scary though...all I could think about was that I was going to have to pack eye patches! It would be appropriate for pirate night though...

Had a cruise freak out tonight. I was sobbing and stressing and sobbing some more. I've calmed down some though...I think it's the long flight that has me so stressed out and that I was one short with my FE gifts so I'm still trying to finish one before tomorrow evening.

I'm excited but very nervous for the flight. After we land, I will be one happy camper - I mean cruiser.

So I had a cruise freak out earlier tonight.

 

[TheDisneyGirl02]

I forgot to ask...

Does anybody know the international phone code to use to call the US from Spain? I want to call my mom as soon as we land.

Thanks for the information!
