...I hope everyone from New Zealand is ok and their family are all well too.
Way too scary. :scared1:
I just want to echo this post and hope our NZ folk are doing OK... :hug: :hug: :hug:

Apologies but I'm waaay behind with the thread. :sad2: It really didn't help that I couldn't log onto the DIS yesterday morning when I actually had some "me" time... :rolleyes:

I wish anyone who is suffering, a speedy recovery and hope that everyone who is healthy stays that way!!! :wizard:

Hugs to you all.. :grouphug:
 
Hola amigos!

I'm going to try and keep up from this point forward. Mom's visit was fun....just what I needed. Moms know best, don't you know! One thing we did was go to a local ice cream parlor that is working its way to become national name. I can't believe I've never gone to Jeni's, which is just down the street from me. I've heard so much about their unique flavors, but never have taken the time to stop by or pick up a $12 pint at the gourmet markets. :eek: Wow was it ever delish!!! I got Bangkok Peanut that has a spicy kick that slowly explodes in your mouth and Sweet Corn & Black Raspberries that was incredible! I want to get back there before another seasonal flavor, Goat Cheese with Roasted Red Cherries, goes away.

I'm also doing the :banana: single digit dance :banana: today. Sad thing is that it just hit me yesterday that I was at T-10!! Needless to say a good week and a half really slipped by too quickly.

One "tragedy" from the weekend is that my cell phone has had its last day of operation. It just won't fully boot up. So I've been busy researching suggestions for a new phone. This morning I ordered the Droid 2. I am SO happy to change from AT&T to Verizon service. It's just bad timing for many reasons. I seem to recall that it was maybe Sandi who said she found that there's a minimal fee to have the international texting service. So I need to look into that as soon as the phone arrives.

I'm working on my time change adjustment to minimize the jet lag. Although I woke up at 4:30 am this morning (and unable to fall back asleep), I only had 4.5 hours of sleep. So I'm hopeful that I'll just collapse around 9:00 pm and get into a real schedule!

I hope you all are doing okay, and for those still facing challenges, big :grouphug: to you and pixiedust: for resolutions!

Well, I need to keep up my momentum of being productive, so off I go!

For everyone in the USA no working, I hope you're having a nice Labor Day!

TTFN


PS: I'm going to revive the following post I put out there a few days ago when I was breezing by. If you have any input, please share!

The ice cream sounds delicious. I think I saw that on the Food Network. I remember the sweet corn. Glad you had fun with mom!!
 
I think I'm going to have the room, so I will be packing up a lidded cup. Otherwise, I'll use the cup in the Silver Castaway Club gift at times. You just have to remember that for sanitary reasons, you're not permitted to fill up your own cup from the dispensers. So you still get to waste a cup, but like you said, it's less filling. :thumbsup2

Okay, first I NEVER got a Castaway cup - kind of bummed! Secondly, I filled other cups by the fountain, what is the sanitary thing - why is that - do you know? UGH! When I want my ice tea, I want my ice tea!!!! Yes, I am an addict! Okay, just talked with DH, and he informed me of the sanitary things. I am taking my own and everybody else bring their own too - don't be shy! :thumbsup2
 
I am packing a large cup. When I was on the cruise last time, and got something to eat at Pluto's, get my drink, etc. By the time I got back to my table, I was done drinking. They now give you the tiny little cups. I had to get up 6 times during my lunch. I am packing a big cup - is anybody else doing this ridiculous thing or just me?????

I'm definitely bringing my Cove Cafe cup. If we have room, we'll bring one or two other Disney cups. Have to have something for our rum punch!
 

We usually stay at at WDW resort before cruising, so have a new resort mug to take on the cruise. Then we leave them in the bin to save bringing them home. Of course that means this time we won't have them so will have to have a look for something. We will get the Castaway Club tin thing, but that isn't that nice to drink a hot drink from. However it will be good to use to have cold water in the cooler overnight.
 
Oh, I knew that I was forgetting something. Thanks for the reminder. Do you think that will be something I could pick up in Barcy? Then it would be a souvie and one less thing I have to pack for the trip over.



I'm sure you'll be able to buy something there :goodvibes



Hi there. :wave: Just checking in as I'm otherwise engaged in real life duties over the next couple of days. It's 'that' time of year so it's all about getting my youngest son ready to return to school. I'm a little sad, as it's his final year in the 6th Form, but he goes back as a senior prefect, Head of House Music and football captain so I'm incredibly proud too!! :lovestruc

Anyway, I AM here - just a little more distracted than usual... :goodvibes



Aw Bless.....good luck to Samuel!:woohoo:



Really, Mandy??? You're sure??? :lmao: :rotfl: :lmao:



Well, you know I'm really quiet so not very talkative myself.......:rolleyes1:rotfl:

I just got an e-mail from DCL telling me that "MY Incredible Voyage is coming up Quick". I am squealing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you can buy nice lidded DCL plastic cups in the gift shops.....but I am not sure.......we've been using our old ones for so long!

Mandy - you will definitely get a squeal when I see you!!!:hug:



Yay! Looking forward to that :yay::hug:

I am taking my wdw resort mug. I finished my Mickey mouse club t-shirts. They turned out ok but mickey is not quite in the middle so it looks like he hit the bar early. :lmao::lmao::lmao:

I figure no one will notice anyways and for the pic I will just have hubby and I lean so mickey logo is straight :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The good news is the names on the back look great :thumbsup2

Ok back to magnets now :) Oh and I have not even started packing:scared1:

No worries though I a a pro at packing. :thumbsup2
 

Are you saying we don't tip the bellman, hotel managers or others who do us an additional service? Just want to be clear as it is customary here and I have done in the past in Europe when we have traveled.


No, we do not tip them. Here it's normal to that whitout getting a tip.
We do it when we are going out eating but it's a few euro not 10% of the bill.

And the cleaningguy or girl is getting a few euro's, but that's all.

Ofcourse they do like it when you tip them, but it's not normal over here.
