Allison--

Do you recall the name of the wine? I may just have to try it with all the great things you have to say about it.

And, as far as your posting, you're one of us now. You'll probably hit the 1000 mark before the cruise!


Julie B.--

CD sounds great so far! And, believe it or not, I don't really drink all that much either.

 

[JenLynn]

More song suggestions for Julie B ....

anything by Santana
10 Rounds with Jose Cuervo by Tracy Byrd
No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem by Kenny Chesney

So far i like your list!

Ok, ok, ok...

I was motivated by all this talk of packing and by all the reports of those that are either done with the chore or who are working on it. So, I pull out the suitcases, place them on the bed, and run to throw a load of laundry in the washer.

I return to find this...

His name's Nails. He weighs 26 pounds. He bites. You don't move him unless he wants to be moved.

Ah, well, looks like I'll pack tomorrow!

Jason,
When we did the tasting, the class was told the name of the vineyard (or producer, as in Louis Latour, Sutter Home, Beringer) but I really don't recall what the vineyard was. I really should have written it down. What is important to know is that the Sauvignon Blancs produced in the Marlborough region of New Zealand are great!!,... in my opinion. I have purchased and consumed Cloudy Bay, Villa Maria, and another one ( or 2) but I don't remember the vineyard. Whatever, try the wine and don't worry about who made it. It all comes down to the soil anyway.

OK...FOrgive me in advance because I am so damn excited that I dont think my fingers are going to type right so if I have typo's bite me! I'm going to have to post multiple posts though because Ryan the slave driver is making me go for 1 last tanning session....so I'm typing til he gets home and then again after I get back with Pizza and Gin! Surprise Surprise!!!


JenL--Yep at this time tomorrow we will be in the air (barely)barreling our way to WDW and POR! I am excited but scared shi*less about flying! Oh well if we have to die on a plane please let it be on the way HOME not on the way down! I'm wavering between exictement, panic and sheer giddiness *kind of feels like I'm drunk *oh maybe cause I AM* LOL ROFLMAO at the Jamaica Joe! That is exactly how we spent most of our Cancun vacation...on our backs at the bar mouths open! And it's definitely Hall of FAME BABY HALL OF FAME!!!!!

Julie B For the cruise song cd...how about the Cha Cha slide by Casper (they did it on our cruise at the sailaway and it was SO fun) also how about We like to party by the Vengaboys, Boat Drinks by Jimmy Buffet, If you like pina coladas by buffet, I was going to suggest I wanna have sex on the beach but if kids are involved that might not be a good one actually..so carry on...um...Blame it on the Rum by buffet, Margaritaville by buffet.. (*pretty much anything by Jimmy Buffet is a great song for tropical stuff*) Cheeseburger in Paradise. And you know what I don't drink either!! ROFLMAO OK now THAT was funny!

Allison--OK GIRL YOU ARE CRACKING ME UP!!!!!!!!I'm so glad you posted!! Sorry about the fridge! It's my OWN hangup..not required or anything it's just I don't like coming back to moldy milk or cheese!!! LOL I sent the Ambien about 10 min ago..so you should get it soon! I'm set to take 2 tonight just to go to sleep! I may need to dope up the kids with some Benadryl as well...they got my excited non sleep gene! I can't wait to meet you either and I can't wait to see hubby drink some pirate rum YUM YUM!!! It's going to be so much fun we're are going to be whisteling Dixie out our buttholes (compliments of Chevy Chase in Ntl Lampoon Vacation) but I can't wait and I'm going to have you pick me out some GOOD wine none of this crappy tasting B.S!!! Since you have a few days I think you should drink wine and post on here with me since I"ll be up all giddy for pretty much most of the night and most of tomorrow!!! I can't do anything responsible either which is why we are getting pizza and gin for dinner (the kids too..might as well get them going young right? ) And I'm scared to go tanning as I can't make a rational thought at the moment..what if I tell her too long and fry my white a$$???? I'm glad you posted more tonight..you finally are showing your "lushness" like the rest of us AA rejects!!! My poor kids are almost naked since everything is packed..oh well right??? Only 23 more hours til I don't give a shi*! *Do I now?*


JenL--Good for you putting the kids to bed early! That's what happens when I'm single married mom of 3!! LOL

OH Just got off the phone with transportation company for tomorrow night! Jason they are going to comp grocery stop us so you shouldn't (notice shouldn't is an operative word there) need to pick up anything for us!

Pango...nice to see you on here again!!! Sorry to hear you have to go to soccer in white sh**!! I hate snow!!! It's hot here..80 degrees and I'm going to go tanning ewwwwwwwwwww I hate to be hot and tanning in a salon at the same time. I look at the # of suitcases we have and wonder the same thing! Oh well only 5..1 for each that isn't bad of course they all weigh about 200 lbs!

Philly Jen--Our motto is it's 5 o'clock somewhere around here so we can always drink!! LOL So sorry to hear your liquor stores were closed! Ours suprisingly in this "sin" repressed state ours are open!!! We have enough to barely get us a buzz for the night and then we plan on buying a ton and probably paying duty because Duty has to be cheaper than booze in UTah!!! Thanks for making me feel better about no cleaning lady! Actually I don't think I'd like one..and now that my house is clean once again I don't need one (next time it looks like he!! I will cry for one again). Roflmao about taking out the Easter ham...it might be wise! I threw away a mac N cheese dinner from Chili's that Tanner got in March! ROFLMAO!! EWWWW it was green kind of like snot! Sonn the same boat thing will REALLY apply! WOOOHOOOOO

Jason--ROFLMAO at the pic of your cat!! We have a black cat too...I so wonder if she will make it 10 days without us!!! Oh well...if she runs away it's not such a big deal I guess..she was a pound kitty!!! Our cat is BULIMIC!! SHe pukes up all over my house and actually shorted out our digital cable receiver! I think she might weigh 8 lbs maybe!

Ok well Ryan pulled in to the driveway just now so I guess I'm off to get fried, get pizza and get loaded (WOW if that doesn't sound like a porno I don't know what does!)

FORGIVE ME ALL OF YOU FOR MY POST...I"M JUST TOO EXCITED TO EDIT THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be back in an hour..post away chums post away so I can read something to get even more excited..and Allison..send some wine this way dammit!

[Belle&RellasMom]

WOO HOO!!!

I am almost done with our packing!!! I can't believe it...we don't even leave for 43 hours and the only things to pack are the bathroom junk, camera junk, and shoes, shoes, shoes!



Luckily for me I didn't have a big black cat climbing in the suitcases while I was loading them up, but I did have a two year old pulling stuff out and asking about a million questions! And since Sarah (5) and Abby (2) caught me giving myself a pedicure, I had 20 more little toenails to polish! Lucky for me Lindsey (8) was at softball & soccer practice with Tom or I'd have 10 more little toes to polish!!!

It is hard to believe that we will already know each other by this time on Saturday!!! I can't wait!!!

Tom and I might get a little wild and crazy some of the time (okay, a lot of the time lately), but we are also good, responsible people too!!!:happy2: :happy2: :happy2: The bra thing only happened once (that I can remember)!

Anyway, we're looking forward to meeting everyone on Saturday and putting real faces (the internet pictures don't do anyone justice) with the names!

Time to go tanning!

Hey all--

We've added another cruiser to the Disney Magic May 1st Cruise site!

I think they'll be staying at Port Orleans on Friday too!


Allison--

Ok. I paid a quick visit to "Ed's Fine Wines" here in Clearwater and purchased a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. It's chilling right now and my mouth is watering! It's like we're having a cross-country wine tasting!


Julie--

I guess Nails is no comparison to the kids. At least I don't have to paint or polish his digits!


Heidi--

Whew! I was really worried that if the transportation company didn't come through for you we were going to have a major case of the DTs...

[dthogue]

Evening All -

My interent time tonight and tomorrow will be limited. My DD, Kaitlyn, brought home a research paper project that needs to be worked on while we're on the cruise. The paper is about a Caribbean Island (she chose the Bahamas) and needs to be at least 10 pages long. She has 10 topics she needs to research and write out index cards for and turn in when we return. Now tell me - where is this child gonna do research on the cruise So we are frantically searching the internet for items about the Bahamas - anyone know where I can get a newspaper? She needs to include firsthand information. I was thinking that if we have printed out info, she can work on it while we are gone.

Heidi - Kaitlyn will not have time to email McKaylee, but wants me to tell you to tell her that she also likes to scrapbook. She is really looking forward to meeting her and hopefully hanging together next week. We still plan on coming over to POR Friday night. We are having dinner at Bahama Breeze, then onto DTD then over to POR.

Tracey - hope you and Logan feel better soon.

4 out of the 5 of us are packed. My oldest DD is the hold out. Once she finished homework, we'll finish her as well.

Jason - Nails looks just like our two cats they love to lay in our suitcases. but now I have cat hair all over everything.

We will be arriving at the port around 10:30am. We are surprising our girls with a stretch limo to the port.:thewave:

Tylenol PM tonight for me so I can sleep.

Pleaseant cruise Dreams :sleep:

[monkeyboysmith]

Ahoy matees, I be here and already stahrted [sic] me swillin.

Tom and I might get a little wild and crazy some of the time (okay, a lot of the time lately), but we are also good, responsible people too!!!

It's not like you'll be driving the boat, sweetie. And as long as you don't tell your kids "Daddy drinks because you cry," you shouldn't scar them bad enough that a little therapy won't fix 'em.

Party, plunder and pillage on, Pirates!!!!

 

[hydster]

Julie--Looks like a celebration is in order for you getting all packed minus toiletry bullshi* and shoes! So here's a little celebrating for you...:thewave:

I got burned err tanned this evening so that's done for me! Thank GOD McKaylee hasn't asked me to deal with her toenails..I think I Might puke from the smell of her stinky feet! I SO can't wait to meet ALL Of you guys this Saturday...it's like a dream come true!! Ryan and I have never gone on a cruise with already pre-made friends so this is a trip!! We are "semi-responsible" too when we have to be so I think A LOT of us will get along well together!!!!! I can't wait to be plastered looking for all of you and listening for that loud MONKEY BOY WHERE"S OUR DRINKS DAMMIT come through!!!! Actually the internet pictures do me justice it's just that you don't see the one's that show me plastered off my a$$ looking like a 2 bit *****!

Jason--We too paid a fine visit to the liquor store this evening and bought a small bottle of gin (go figure right?) to drink to get us in the spirit! ROFLMAO!! ANd yes it's good you don't have to see me go through the DT'S! It ain't a purty sight!! A birdie tells me we have your cell phone number at the meet on Friday...beware and be afraid..be very afraid!


Tammy--Tell Kaitlin that McKaylee say's hi and she can't wait to meet her at POR and on the ship!!! I have them all cleaning up their crap and packing up for the airplane ride tomorrow so they are responsible for actually getting things they like to do (*McKaylee has a bucketload of homework) but it will be great fun! Sorry to hear about the research paper...that sucks!!!! I'm trying to think where you could get some Bahama stuff but I'm blank. I probably have some pictures from Nassau I could bring you but they only include the DCL ship at night, our scuba boat and Atlantis! LOL Nothing really educational!! I feel for you..I HATE research papers especially right before a trip!!! Make sure you make it to POR from DTD because McKaylee will be crushed as will all of us there including Conny and Alice!!!!

Tom--ROFLMAO at your post is all I can say to that!!!! You go!! And Julie

RUN LIKETHE WIND HUBBY WANTS YOU FOR HIS OWN PIRATE WENCH....ROFLMAO

Off to pack some more crap..ALLISON where are you..passed out on the sofa I assume!

Heidi (with only 20 hours left til I leave this board)

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

BOWTIE JOE WHERE ARE YOU????



You have been called out by your lovely wife (with a very flattering picture I might add), it is time to respond. JenLyn needs some internet time, (preferably the school girl outfit) we need you to step up fellow PIRATE and defend yourself.

Either your with us, or MONKEYBOY and myself will have to make you walk the plank.

A'hoy Mates
Just wanted to drop a line to tell you all this will be uncharted waters for this PIRATE, Seeing how I sail from the Great Island of CRETE So, Captin BRA Hunter and his first Mate MonkeyBoy will have to show me the way with their Wench's

I am glad all the toes are painted, and the bodies are Tan.

The High Maintenance Wife will be home on Wednesday evening just in time to go to the Salon on Thursday for her nails. Then board the Silver Bird in the Sky.

Does anybody Know if a cat can stay home for 9 Day's by itself?

Just Kidding.....Really

This has been Great, Can't wait to meet all.

Don't forget to ...Shake the Hand.. of the Pangoman.. as he meets you at the Border

Who all is going to be at Port Orleans for the First Annual Hydster and Conny264 Dis Mini-Meet?

 

[Alice Sr.]

It's not like you'll be driving the boat, sweetie. And as long as you don't tell your kids "Daddy drinks because you cry," you shouldn't scar them bad enough that a little therapy won't fix 'em.

We'll be there. Jason you should just get a Priceline room and stay at WDW Friday night We're staying at WDW Hilton for only $60 and it would save you a ton of driving in the morning Then we could all caravan to the port Saturday morning.

 

[hydster]

Pango---roflmao at you and the high maintenance wife..aren't we all?? ROFL..I think my friend you will fit right in....
and yes the bodies are tan and I'm sure the monkey will show you the way with the wenches! DAMNIT it;s hard to type really drunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the damn keys blend into one and then add ambien and oh ****!!!!

Jason--we don't get in til 10pm orlando time tomorrow so it will be more than 24 hours til we hit disney but when we do watch the he** out!!!!!!!!!! HOLY **** I'm drunk!!!!!!!!!!

Alice..WOOHOO Can't wait to see you on Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My ******cat* is meowing at me...is that good or bad????????????????

Off to sleep off this drunken stupor...see yo uall in the am!
Heidi

 

[monkeyboysmith]

All I have to say as of 5:00 pm MST is: F%&* it I'm on vacation, no worries for 12 more days.

Joey? Where are ye Joe? You do realize that drunk guys typing J-o-e can easily type h-o-e?

 

[CM_Mom]

Hi group,

Way to many posts for this brain to keep up.

Had the Job Search Ministry tonight and 4 people came with cookies to celebrate new jobs! That's the most we've had in one week in the 2 1/2 years since I've working with the ministry. For those of you who are in less than perfect job situations, that's great news. Not cruise related, but great news anyway.

After I left the church tonight, I went by Barnes and Noble and got the 2004 Passporter Guide to WDW. Don't know why it just occurred to me that I might want to read it since I've had the Passporter for DCL and just ordered and received the 2004 DCL Passporter. Now I will have something to read on the ship so I can do some compulsive planning for WDW. We will actually have most of 4 days at the parks since we don't fly home till Tuesday evening. Had to extend the vacation a couple of days since I couldn't imagine being in Orlando and NOT even going to the Parks.

We're doing the suicide return. Getting home at 9:30 Tuesday night and going to work at 8:00 am Wednesday morning. Nuff said, I don't even want to think about the trip being over.

Way cool that everyone is packed. That's on my schedule for tomorrow night. Heidi and the rest of you leaving tomorrow, have a great time and we'll see you at the Goofy Pool on Saturday afternoon. Don't know when we're getting on the ship since DD said she's not in a hurry to get back on the ship after she gets off. We may just let her wander around the port while we get on the ship. I think I saw that they serve lunch till 2:00 so we'll definitely be on the ship in time for lunch.

Save me a virgin frou frou something at the pool.

Reine

Just taking a survey... should I start packing yet, or should I wait til Friday night?
