Sept 4-8 2005 Wonder S.S. Member Cruise! Part 3

[ohiominnie]

Yes, I kinda feel a little guilty, but then I think that I can't help them much anyway where I'm at. So, I'm going to go have fun, but keep them all in my prayers!!!

We just talked with the kids tonight. They know what's going on...have seen the news. We just talked about how we can still have fun but we need to think about and pray for the people down there. And if mom and dad want to watch the news for updates instead of ANOTHER Lizzie McGuire movie, they need to let us do that.

Okay, I need to get to #5000 before I leave Saturday morning. At the rate I'm going, it might be tough.

Good thoughts and safe travels to everyone who is leaving tomorrow. Thinking of all those who have already started their journey.

We leave Saturday early morning. I might be able to post a goodbye. Amy, you'll probably be left to end our thread until we return.

Mark & Mary, glad your safe.

Kay, I hope your feeling better. Good luck at the doctor.

Diana, tell Bruce that I've added $400 to the budget for your spa treatments. After all, you are a SAHM with two little ones, you deserve the BEST!

Let's see. I'll check to make sure I didn't miss anything. I still have a lot to do tonight. I have to finish up some special items I'm working on. Maybe, oh maybe, I'll be in bed before midnight. I'd like to get some sleep tomorrow night but Gary will panic tomorrow so I don't know if that will happen.

Gee, when we finally get on the ship, I'm going to need to relax!!

 

[cgcw]

Why would you be having a frustrating time - you are having a good time on the DIS

Gail, I probably wasn't clear there. Gary's having the frustrating time figuring out how to pack everything.

I really thought I was going to throw up there for a few hours....but I'm ok and just going over my lists now. Am I the only one who has so many lists that I need a list of all my lists?

Nope, I have tons of lists!!!

I have a list of just clothes by day.
I have a list of other things to pack.
I have a list of things to do tomorrow.
I have a list of points to see in Key West.
I have a list of tips for DCL.

Let's see, is that all???

Oh, and I need to print out my list of PSs for WDW.

Very nicely said Amy. It is hearbreaking to see what they have to go through but what good would it do to stop what we're doing.

 

[cgcw]

I missed the baby Tide bottles too. I think I still have a couple of wisk tabs left (I hope) if not off to Walmart I will be going!

Okay, make that two!

But you'll have to talk to Gary as to how they get packed!

 

[Diana Lyn]

Gee, when we finally get on the ship, I'm going to need to relax!!

I'll call ahead and have a konk kooler waiting on deck for ya!

Cindy,

How's Walker's leg looking now?

Thanks for asking, Karen

It's looking much, much better. Where the bump was sticking out (like a golf ball) has gone down a lot. It's still puffy and red, but it looks much better.

The little bugger -- even with 2 doses of Benadryl is still going -- just like the Energizer Bunny. Time for dose #3 -- maybe that will knock him out.

I'm just down to my list of last minute things to put in the bag when we get up in the morning.

I called Gary from Walmart tonight asking him to read my list to me so that I was sure I didn't miss anything (except your little Tide bottles but I found those at Target). Anyway, Gary says "you mean this chicken scratch thing with writing all over the place". Yep, that's it!

 

[#1Mouse]

Only 9 more to go Cindy - You can do it tonight.

Yikes, you posted twice while I was posting this - now you only have 7 more to go.

That's how Emma gets on Benadryl. It puts me in a coma....it makes her hyper. She has really bad reactions to mosquito bites. A few weeks ago she got bit pretty bad around both of her eyes. Poor kid was so swollen she couldn't even see.

Nahhh, you'll get it!!!

We leave Saturday early morning. I might be able to post a goodbye. Amy, you'll probably be left to end our thread until we return.

Oh, I'll be here. Our plan is to leave around 8am to head over to WDW.

Let's see. I'll check to make sure I didn't miss anything. I still have a lot to do tonight. I have to finish up some special items I'm working on. Maybe, oh maybe, I'll be in bed before midnight. I'd like to get some sleep tomorrow night but Gary will panic tomorrow so I don't know if that will happen.

I know that my plan is to stay up as long as it takes tonight to get packed. Then, I can do some last minute cleaning tomorrow and some small projects. Then, I can get a good nights sleep tomorrow. Because, normally I'm the one up VERY late trying to get everything done and I only get 2 hrs of sleep before vacation.

I have mine in a spreadsheet. You know by day with reservation numbers etc. All works out fine until you look at Saturday.

Morning - meet with Dee from the 10 day to do Soarin'
Noon - meet up with Patty from our May '06 cruise to exchange the cruise mascot
12:30 - meet up with others from our May '06 cruise for lunch at Rose and Crown
2 or 2:30 - meet up with Cindy to give her back her box
3:00 - DIS meet
4-6:00 Bon Voyage Party

I'm thinking 7:00 or so collapse!

Awe, how sweet. I'll bring the Tide bottle for you if I can find them, in my carryon if I have to.

You'll definitely make 5000 tonight. I won't make 1500 tonight though, so I guess it will have to wait until we come home. Unless I just start posting on random threads on the community board.....but I'm afraid of the CB

Awww, you only have 14 left to go!!!

It is natural to feel guilty when we are blessed with roofs over our heads, happy healthy families and going on a wonderful cruise. Life however has to go on. Just like it did with the first Member Cruise. We landed in Orlando the day before to find out Columbia had been destroyed. I spent most of the ride to Port Canaveral in tears listening to the radio. It was a very somber feeling. However we didn't let that stop us from enjoying the cruise and our new found friends.

I continue to keep those effected by Katrina in my prayers. We will also be donating to the cause (waiting to find out what they are doing at my office so I can donate there - if not it will be on our own).
