Many of you have mentioned how you don't like the sand. Perhaps some of you have heard of this trick already. If you put baby powder on you while you're brushing yourself off, the sand will just crumble off your body. I know...I know....one more thing to pack! For those of you in the US, you can get a 1.5 oz bottle of it at Bed Bath & Beyond for $.099....I just saw it this week in their travel sized "stuff" display.
....At first I thought you were asking if they would possibly drop prices to clear out inventory before they head into drydock. Then I realized (I think) that you are wondering if perhaps they will have enough inventory on the ship for those who want one of the bags!.....
OHHHH I know they won't be reducing prices to get rid of inventory. Well, maybe TA specific stuff they will towards the end of the cruise, but certainly not otherwise!
...Tonight I am working my last night shift before we leave for Barcelona ... just can't wait to get that out of the way. Then I only have 9 working shifts until we leave !!!!
Yeah!!! It's one more of those "last times" milestones that means we're so much closer!
Hi everyone.....having a hard time keeping with all the stuff with dd going on at home......so just wanted to say a quick 'hi' .....this cruise can't come soon enough!
....

Oh.....on a brighter side I went shopping today......in my wardrobe!

(sounds like Narnia!!)

I can now fit into 5 more pairs of shorts and a pair of cropped cargo trousers.....plus several tops and a dress!

....
So I do have something positive to post after all!





I was thinking about you yesterday wondering if things are looking better. Hang in there. We're thinking about you!
I'm glad you had
some positive news to dance over! Congrats on the free shopping!!!

That's awesome!!
Home Depot!

Weren't you also the one who stated you wanted to change the topic from Spanx to power tools? Arrrrrr (in a Tim Allen voice)
I don't think I could manage with just 1 piece of luggage, Sarah!!! ...It's all the flippin' toiletries/skin stuff I have to take....
I'm trying hard not to take 3!!! I just can't imagine taking one suitcase! I can fill one up without any clothes in it whatsoever!
.....I just bit the bullet and paid extra (for excess luggage)...
...we paid less than $100 total for both of us.....I shouldn't really complain as we are using United points to get to Frankfurt and flight only cost us $5 USA dollars total.....
I'm still amazed at how well you did with your flight and hotel savings!!
From the very beginning I put excess baggage allowance in my cruise budget, so I'm just biting the bullet as well. I'm just trying not to add that third piece now with my new dress! I may be going to Target this week to get a cube-shaped travel Space Bag try and stuff it in there. It's going to have to be steamed anyways when I get on-board!
I am taking note of all of those with a high weight allowance and loads of bags so I know where to come to borrow stuff when I run out of outfits

Too funny!
We, (Ann), Have democratically decided we are taking 4 pieces of luggage - paying for two extra bags.
Off to weight lifting classes
What I do with the extra toiletries that I pick up in my travels is donate them to a battered women's shelter.
Wow! What a brilliant idea many of you have. Why hadn't I thought of that????? Seriously, Kimberly. Geez!
....Oh - Becca would love it if Tinkerbell paid her a visit... She has no interest in wiggling the tooth, so it very well may happen.
Wouldn't that be the most magical thing that could happen?
The idea of Becca loosing her tooth while we are cruising reminds me of a story that I read here on the DIS some time ago that had may of the readers tearing up over. A DD had lost her tooth while they were sailing, and the DW happened to mention it to the stateroom host/hostess simply as a topic of conversation telling him/her that her DD was just so excited the tooth fairy was going to visit her that night. When they got back from dinner, there was a trail of shimmery pixie dust that led from the veranda door to the bed and nightstand. There was a signed picture of Tinkerbell for the DD sitting on the bed along with something else (I don't remember what though). Anyways, that was incredibly special and absolutely unprovoked! That's the best pixie dust one can get!
