HEY TORTOLANS

1 WEEK TO GO

ARE YOU EXCITED YET!





WELCOME TO THE WEEKEND!​

Next weekend can't get here soon enough for me. I'm about to blow up at work and I work at a church!!!! I'm seriously getting vacationitis. I just keep telling myself, 4 more work days, 4 more work days.

 

[drclaws]

The Saharan dust convection???? What the ???

Well, I could TRY to explain it, but first:

1) I'd confuse myself, and
2) I'd have to know what the heck it means myself.....

Maybe it's like flushing the toilet and then throwing sand in it to stop the circulation.....

BTW, don't try this at home.

 

[lg3]

So excited for everyone leaving soon!

Don't forget to get tickets for the tequila/margarita tastings!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am actually a bit behind on everything - no fault but by own. Still have a lot to get together. We leave Thursday afternoon.

THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha...great analogy!

 

[KathyInCitrus]

We too are not leaving until Thursday night - still have a couple of days at work

The wave that came off the coast of Africa yesterday looks like it might be forming into something. Anyone know anything about weather enough to know how long it will take before we know if it is a problem or not? Just wondering.

Everyone have a great holiday weekend.

Weather channel has Tropical update at :50 past the hour, (unless they are running one of their own shows)

Here's why I haven't got any packing done yet...

I made 31 t-shirts and 2 pillowcases for our trip. I still have 10 sheets of magnets to print.

The shirts are for DH, me, DS4, DS3 and DD7months. We're staying at Villas at Wilderness Lodge for 3 nights before our cruise and going to MNSSHP.

My DH and boys have WL t-shirts. Dh has a logo on the front and the bigger design on the back of his shirt. The boys just have the big design on the front.

These are our shirts for MNSSHP:
DH's and mine:

The kids' shirts:

Embarkation shirts:

Pirate night shirts:
We all have the big design on the back and little name designs on the front.

Other shirts:

And here are some pillow cases we'll have the characters sign:

Last one out needs to remember to turn off the lights though....

Good point - I wonder who will do that - well, nice thing is - it won't matter because next Saturday we will be meeting up and we can all enjoy each other's company!


Thanks for the tropical storm updates - looks like they all will fizzle out and just be regular old storms... let's keep our fingers crossed!

 

[kimlovesdisney]

Good luck today and see you in a week!

That's the rule I always follow!

Doesn't surprise me you were up earlier!!!! I bet Jackie was too!

Yeah, What SHE said!!!!



WELCOME! So glad you are joining this wacky and crazy group of folks!

Sounds great Linda - can't wait to see them!

Good for you - Im so excited I could just jump out of my skin... am I going to be the ONLY one online next week waiting for my flight on Thursday???? Sniff sniff

Can't wait - I'm so excited!!!

No, we'll be after you!!...driving down - leaving late Friday.

Are you kidding?... the weather channel has weather forecasts? Every time I turn it on they have some special weather history show. I'll watch at :50.

Or they tell about the wildfires in CA and the ice in the Artic and the ozone layer

Dr&mom
love the shirts! Very creative of you. That certainly took a lot of time.

I sure hope our friends in WDW don't forget us and update us on the fun they are having.

Best thing in the world - being on a Disney vacation!
2nd best - planning a Disney vacation
3rd best - living vicariously thru those that are on a Disney vacation!

HAY back home all went good

now to finish up things for the trip!!!!!!!!!!!

good night



gaRRy

 

[Evette]

WooooHooo!! Everything is packed except for the last minute morning things!! Going to take a shower and head for bed. Getting up about 3:30AM as the taxi is due here at 5:00AM for our 8:00AM flight out of O'hare. Unfortunately I have no laptop so no internet access while we're at WDW this week, so I'll just say see you next week onboard the Magic!!

Have a great week.

Yup, keep rooting for the Saharan sands and high level wind shear!

The tropical wave being tracked is just off the African coast near the Cape Verde Islands that could "develop further" over the next two days. Still a LONG way away from anything. Seems like it's really the only thing out there and nothing to be concerned over at this point.

These are soooooo cute - looks like it took you awhile to do these - I only have 1 DD, and i thought my life was crazy with work and keeping up with her.
