Welcome, Shannon.

This is our first time participating in the FE list. But definitely looking forward to it.

Love your kids pictures. My son is 7 so maybe he can play with Nick.

Hi everyone!
Just checking in. Can't believe how fast the time is chugging along. So much to do!!!

Welcome Shannon and family!

We have a 9 yr old daughter, Emma too!



FE question-Are we going to be assigned a specific day to hand these out?

15 days and counting......

Lisa, it's great to hear that everything went well. I have been telling co-workers, friends, family member, etc. about your surgery or procedure. You are the one that had it changed from after the cruise to before, right? They can't believe that you would be able to go on the cruise. I had to tell them that your Doc said you could and even he didn't, you were going no matter what!!!!

16 more days and I will be at the hotel, but it officially begins at 5pm that afternoon. So that means I have 388 hours from right now!!!! I know, I am counting hours now.

Welcome to the gang Shannon!


Charlie-
You are correct. My surgery was originally scheduled for Dec. 29th. The Dr's office called to move up the date. I only agreed after I was assured that I would be able to travel on the Magic. However, right now the only traveling I am doing is between the computer chair and the sofa...

Trace,

I believe it's whenever you want and hence the surprise. I heard it could be once or multiple times. It's really up to you.

Just beware each time it'll be a good exercise with 30+ rooms on FE.

I saw the bill for those extras on my Blackberry...no one here will complain about our FE gifts...

Chuck

 

[ICEMANPAD]

FE's can be done once or multiple times...we have done it both ways, sometimes as much as 5 or 6 times, depending on what we picked up, like, for instance, a whole bunch of stuff from Oriental Trading...while we could have done it in fewer trips, we chose the exercise...and it IS a lot of exercise, especially if you take the stairs and skip the elevators...

This year, it will be one or two trips i think for us, but only b/c we will be using larger packaging of sorts...

Another FE question for those who've done it before...

How do you organize your stuff in advance? I have a variety of things -- one (the "main" item) is one per room, others are one per person or child.

I'd love to hear your suggestions and/or what has worked for you in the past. I was thinking I'd pre-bag items per room in a ziploc or something. Since there are multiple FE pockets, I don't want to put them all in one gift bag, as I'd like to put items in the appropriate pockets. (I'm assuming most have some kind of label on each pocket...)

TIA!

[Mickeyhugger]

not at this rate

 

[cruisecrzy]

I have gifts that are one per stateroom. I simply write the stateroom on the item then deliver.

As for the rest I make little bags up with the items inside. On each bag i put a tag with the cabin number and persons name. that way each child and the bigger kids aka adults gets a little baggie.

 

[alwayslisad]

Hello all - 9 days 18 hours till I depart

I did a bag for each room - I hope I did it ok First time I have ever done it - so I did a room gift -

Lisa hope you are feeling better every hour

I am getting more and more excited
