Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.7

[TotallyAngelic]

Today is going to be a great shopping day. I have come to the conclusion that I am not going to lose 50 pounds in the next 10 weeks, so I may as well find a swimsuit that fits now. If I lose 50 pounds the suit will just be a little loose.

I am also thinking I should start thinking about my pirate attire. Disney Store here I come!

Also going to get my fish extender gifts into bags. And pick up tolietries. Also starting to put things in a clothes hamper that I know I need to take, like my toothbrush charger. Getting together all of the video camera cables. Going to buy film. Yes, I was just going to take video with my camera, but after seeing the movies on you tube, I now know I'm taking my entire digital arsenal with me. Hey if not now, when????

Putting new batteries in all my remotes. Might even bring my tripod. Know I'm bringing the little gorilla tripod. Okay, let's get this day started!!!!

Soundslike you have a good cruise planning day ahead. I have decided to buy clothes which fit me now too ... I still hope to lose 10lbs before we cruise ( thats 1lb a week which should be attainable ) but that won't make too much difference. I was hoping to get into a smaller dress size, but DH reckons I look better in the bigger size and looked too squashed in wearing the smaller size.

I am finally getting a new computer tomorrow which will mean I can take all of my video off my video camera which is still there from my cruise in 2008.That will free up my camcorder hard drive for the new videos from this cruise. I have never put any videos on youtube but I might give it a go after seeing some of the DCL ones. It will be lovely to have my own computer again and not have to moonlight on DSs laptop .

This post is a message to coconut1. I have been unable to send you a PM. Please contact me either by PM or a post here on the board so I will know that you are still interested in purchasing a pin.

Even Dan got excited this morning when I said 10 weeks! He can't believe it!

We are so excited we never talk about anything else. Our favourite conversation at the moment is planning our movements following embarkation !!!!

I reckon if I lose some more weight from now, then what I am now will be what I soon will be into the cruise, so clothes that fit now will be great!!!!

Now, what to do about my size by the end of the cruise!!!!

Hi all

Managed to get hold of Theressa (Dialady). She's been busy but still on for the cruise. What she was thinking of organising was a get together thing. Each person takes a day or theme and brings the materials for all participants to create a page for that day. You would then meet up and create a page for all participants on the theme, so if there were 10 people including you you would make 10 pages and give out 9. Everyone else would be doing the same thing so you would end up at the end with 10 different pages for your scrapbook.

On a previous cruise this had been organised to meet in a Cat 3 room due to space issues.

Theressa if I got anything wrong above let me know.

If anyone is interested let Theressa know (Dialady) and she will collate a list of names. Also a date and time will need to be arranged and a location to add to the navigator.

Great Connie! Glad payment went through

Yes - I must have a go too. I did want to lose 20lbs for this trip, I`ve managed to put on 10lbs this year
Atkins always works for me.

I cheat a bit with countdowns and I`m always a week ahead. Today I will say, 9 weeks next Saturday till the cruise!

That's John!!! How funny.

I just mentioned it is 10 weeks today to the cruise and he said 'crumbs'. I did sense a slightly higher tone of voice, so perhaps that is excitement!!!!!!

Good job we understand them isn't it?

Thats a good point .... elasticated waists for the last few days !!!!

My aim is to start eating more healthily (again) and up the exercise (again) from Monday ( my diets always have to start on a Monday ) I then plan to do SLIMFAST for the first 2 weeks in September. I will try and be fairly good on the first cruise week .... mostly fruit for breakfast and salad and no bread at lunchtime. On the second cruise week I will have NO LIMITATIONS !!!! BRING IT ON !!!!! I will need the extra insulation as we have the UK winter to look forward to on our return.

"crumbs" .... now that raises the excitement bar up a bit Marilyn

I am excited to see that I am not the lone person anymore coming in on Saturday of the cruise - CandyApple and HoagiePie get in 10 minutes before me!

How are you all going to the port - I have not decided yet - even thinking of doing a "private" driving tour of Barcelona for an hour or 2 before heading to the port - not sure!

PinUpdate!!!!

We have reached 100 pins so we can order the pins.
In order to have our pins on time for our Transantlantic Cruise, we must order the pins by Jul 22.

The pins cost 4,50 Euro each. You can pay the money for the pins on Noel's paypal or on Patrick's paypal account.

Since the cost for people who live in America is less if you pay on Noel account, you may choose to pay through her. Then, she will send the money to Patrick's account.

If you are going to pay Noel, you must first determine how much the dollar is versus the Euro. In order to determine how much 4.5 Euros, you must first attempt to make order of 4.5 Euros to determine how much to pay Noel. Do not complete this order. You are only using this method to determine how much the actual dollar cost is pay in Euros. Then you can pay Noel the actual dollar amount which she will transfer to Patrick in Euros in your name.

As with the Euros transfer, please use a Personal transfer and say it is a gift to avoid fees to be charged to the recipient.

Noel's paypalaccount is birkner@needinfo.com

Patrick's paypalaccount is p.vanmaaren@chello.nl

Please send your money to one of us with your both your DIS name and your email address before 21 July so we can order the pins on time and in the numbers of pins we want.

If all the money is received before that time, we will not be able to order the pins at that price, so it is critical that all the money be collected before that time.

Connie will take the pins with her on the Cruise and hand them out on the first Dismeet or if you are not going to the meet, she can arrange to meet you in the boarding area in Barcelona.

Noel and Connie

I will send this also to you're PMbox.

Just send Paypal payment for one pin to Patrick in Euros from my email: vakamalua@mac.com with DIS name vakamalua

All fees will be charged to me. [Will also PM you this info.]

Thanks so much for organizing the pins!

I think the villains vests would be great! I wonder where you could find the fabric? On the Baltic I was the only cruise passenger in a cruella de ville costume! I had fun, though. Some people had t shirts that they had bought at WDW Hollywood studios with villains on them. I don't know what shop they bought themin.

Well I heard that Villains is a regular dress night not a formal or semi formal....so probably we will not make the vests (the vests I make are tux fests that have no back...like the inexpensive/easy ones you can rent----so they won't look good without the full get up). On the up side, however, Jason and I do have coordinating Disney Villain ties already that have many villains on them (although the color scheme is more red and black than purple, but I'm sure they'll still work).

We're also coming in on Saturday, but since we've booked w/Disney I have no idea yet when or on what airline. I'm hoping we'll have time to do some kind of tour; it would be a shame to arrive in Barcelona and then not be able to see any of it!

Ok while the cruise leaves in 10 weeks - I leave in 9 weeks! I need to start packing today! I feel so far behind!

I am still working on my Secret Mickey items - this is fun - we have never done family - family - and I think I like it this way much better but would have liked the $$ to be a little higher as it is har...d to do this and personalize for members also for $25 TOTAL - it was that much per person other times!

 

[MrsMork]

Okay I know I am late in this planning... But for the kids.. I was thinking of things that would make them get schooling with fun. How about if they talk to someone. They can get a quick lesson in geography.. Like someone from Ny meets someone from VA then they get a post card with the state or city. I know it is more to pack but when the kids go back to school they will have good memories to share. Or we could give out a world map and then put stickers on it. Just ideas anyone with children school age want to do this?

We don't have children with us, but would be happy to talk to any of them that are interested in the Northwest.

You should, it would make it easier for us Brits!!!!

We leave home 9 weeks from Monday!!!
