Sept 4-8 2005 Wonder S.S. Member Cruise! Part 2

[cgcw]

I bet your docs will come today!

Are you flying out of Midway or O'Hare? Our limo is picking us up next Saturday at 6:30am!

It is getting so close! I guess I better drag the suitcases out this weekend.

We're flying out of O'Hare. I'm going to guess your flying out of Midway, is that right?

We never put our suitcases away from our trip to Hilton Head. Just need to fill them now!

Nope! We are flying on American out of O'Hare. Midway is easier for us but American had the best rate. We were originally booked on ATA out of Midway until they canceled their Chicago to Orlando route.

I went to the Member Block Party at PI on Tuesday. It was a lot of fun. Sorta like the Member Homecoming events. Deevy was there! They played trivia; many of the questions were the same as those at MH though. I liked the idea that they gave out tickets which you needed to redeem for popcorn and ice cream. Water and lemonade were free. Free chair massages from SSR, balloon artist, stilt walkers and DJ all added to the fun. Two large baskets were raffled off as well as meal vouchers. I most liked the free admission to PI after the event. We went to Comedy Warehouse which was fun and because it was a Tuesday it was less crowded. If you’re here this Tuesday 8/23 you should participate (it’s the last one). I just wonder how similar our Bon Voyage party will be to this event?!?!?

Member Update on Tuesday was informative, but no mention of the cruise : (

Deevy still claims she’s on the waiting list!

Quick question...My sister would like to go to church (Mary, Queen of the Universe) on Sunday morning and asked if there will be time before we head to the port. Does anyone know when services are held there and whether or not there will be time to attend?

There is also a 9:30 a.m. Mass at Mary Queen of the Universe.

Thanks for taking the time to compile the list. A couple of items to add may be beach items for the kids and candy for the movies.

I think that this might be the one that we attend.

Yeah, now it's time to do all the stuff that kept getting put on the back burner because we still had so much time until the cruise. We leave 2 weeks from today and I'm sure these two weeks will fly.

Stephanie how about adding binoculars to the list. No, we don't use them to look in the rooms of the other ships in port

The docs have finally arrived here!!! I met the UPS guy at his truck so he didn't even have to come to the door - I think he said something like - "something you've been waiting for I take it" - and my reply all the way back to the house was "thank you thank you thank you"

 

[WDWLVR]

We have documents!


Ok here's something that might help those of you still waiting. I had to run out and do a few errands this morning. Well in the course of 1 hour I saw 5 UPS trucks. Everytime I saw one I yelled out "I want my documents". Guess one of them heard me!

 

[WDWLVR]

So one of my errands this morning was the scrapbook store. I know have my things for the scrapbook exchange. I hope whoever gets them likes what I got.

 

[alikat99]

Ok, you guys have made me cave. Sign me up for the scrapbook exchange. I kept telling myself that I didn't need anything new, but it just sounds like so much fun.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Yippee for the docs dance.

I'm guessing from the description, that there is no formal sign-up for the scrap exchange. It's just bring a bag-o-scrap stuff ($20 value) and those with stuff will play, no? I like it that it is no pressure then. Cuz, if I forget to pack it, I won't feel bad about it so much.

I think I will spend this weekend figuring out what I need to get and next weekend putting it out to stuff in the suitcases.

Whooo hooo!

YIPPIE!!! Dancing with you:

I like your story! Now THAT is the way to get something done!!!

I'm thinking that's the rules, although I was just going to verify it when I saw your post.

I'd be interested in playing, but not sure I'll get myself to a scrapbook store before we leave.

If there isn't a formal sign up then if I get there, great, if not, no harm no foul. I just don't want someone DEPENDING on me bringing something. (plus, if I play, KT will have to play too!)
