Ressie Changes: As soon as we board and before heading to Parrot Cay, we are hoping to change to early dinner seating.

OK -- which one of us scared Jan away from late seating???


Notice how she's not wasting any time!

Good night everyone!

I watched a little DWtS, but had too much office work to do. Things are really picking up and Bill & I are getting a bit stressed!!!

Plus our "office guy" has been at work with a cold. We'd better not get sick! I'm staying home tomorrow and sending Bill with more disinfecting spray & sanitizers. I'm also going to stock up on the zinc tablets and any other placebos to make me feel better!!!!

Off to sleep!

For all you early birds, I can usually be found near the deck 9 coffee station each morning reading a book, gazing out at the ocean and wishing I didn't have to go back to reality. Anyone is welcome to join me.

It'll be me, DH, DD (1 yr), and my DM and we're REALLY excited. We're going to celebrate our little girl's first birthday, and DH and my 4 yr wedding anniversary!!! Lots to celebrate!

I look forward to meeting all of you!!!

Welcome Queenie,

I'm not an official greeter, just a Nana fan and attendee. Hopefully you and I will catch up on the lingo and news together.

Lauri

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning all,


Queenie,

I am so glad you found us. I told everyone here yesterday that I found you and that they had better behave themselves so we dont scare you off

we can get a little crazy here sometimes. I know there are too many posts to read them all, but I am known as the mean old granny with the whip that keeps everyone posting.

You'll soon find out about everyone else, look out for Bill and Bob, they are a couple of characters!!!! all in fun though.

Ok here is some useful info for ya.
Meet
saturday 2:45 in the Promenade lounge for the entire family

some are bringing one gift, it can be an ornament or regional gift ,limit $10 and only one gift per family. everyone who brings a gift will put their name in a hat and whose ever name you draw out, you get the gift they brought to exchange. Your welcome to do this too.

Adult meet 1:01 ay Signals bar the first day

Ladies are having a meet on tuesday morning but someone else will have to give you the time and place, I dont remember right now. But you are invited to all!!

we have a musical group here called Tiara Bob and the Dreamboats!!
They are going to sing at Karoake one night. we are not sure which night yet, but we plan on being there to give'em a hard time, oh, I mean applaud for them??

We have a few little ones like your along too, so you will have other new moms to visit with.

I'm sure others will have more to add to this report.
oh, PM woogal (shell) and give her your family names and such and she will add you to our list and she will send you a copy of all of our names, where we are from and room numbers.

Several people are arriving a day or two ahead of time and staying at a few local hotels, are you staying the night before, if so which hotel? Maybe we will be in the same place as you and could say howdy the night before the cruise.
Oh and the first day in the terminal or on the ship if you see people in bright lime green shirt with a wild turkey chasing abanana on it, it will be one of us from this group, so stop us and tell us who you are.

well time to do some other stuff today.

Kathy

WELCOME QUEENIE

Good Morning Kathy -

Well DD(11) woke up this morning sick! I'm thinking it's a good thing, right. It's still over a week before we leave which leaves time for the rest of us to get it out of our systems. Please send LOTS of pixie dust our way that this clears out of hear FAST!!!

Gotta go check on DD. I'll be back later.

Kelly

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Kelly, this is for you and your family

[JanDave]

OK -- which one of us scared Jan away from late seating???


Notice how she's not wasting any time!

The only reason we are changing to early seatng is that Bob prefers/wants/whines to eat early. Men!!!

Jan

 

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning!

Tonya, if you decide tea will do as well as brunch on Thursday, let me know.

Jan, You and Dave could link with Lynn's family & us on 1st seating if you'd like.

WELCOME QUEENIE! Oh with a name like that, I'm SURE you have a tiara so you can join those of us who are wearing them at every possible opportunity!

Happy Day, All!

Bob - for your mosaic, do you just want this cruise or any cruise? If any, I can burn you a cd.

Linda, I would like as many from this cruise as possible, but if you have some special shots from other DCL cruises, I would be more than happy to include them.

 

[TIGGER41681]

Good Morning
Well it is another gloomy day here in NY. I can't wait till I am on the cruise in warm and sunny weather!! Today I plan on doing things around the house. Well nothing else new here. Have a good day everyone. I am getting soooo stressed with all the things I have to do before the cruise .

Queenie and Family: My name is Lynn and I will be traveling with DH( celebrating his 30th birthday) and my DS ( 6 months). Can't wait to meet you!!!

Kathy: Please NO Whip. I just did not feel like moving this morning!!

Shell: I am going to with Emmitt!! I think he did a better job then Mario!!

 

[disneediva]

Morning Nanas,

Kathy sounds serious this morning, so ya'll better get posting.

Welcome Queenie We are a bunch of nice usually quiet people, except for Bob and Bill they are a little . And my friend Shell who is a little this morning thinking Mario did well on DWTS last night.

OK things I still need to do
Mani/Pedi
finish packing
buy a few more xmas presents
give my sister keys to the house and car so she can feed the disney dog
get letter from DS friend so he can go on cruise


Mutt where are ya???? DBW, are you there??? Hey Sarah wheres that Canadian beefcake at??

 

[cmaelltt1]

Umm, for those of who have a million and ten things to do this week, how are supposed to keep up with all these posts? I thought I'd pass out when I logged on this morning. So I'm sure I missed quite a bit. I have so much to do today to get ready to go. We will be leaving 1 week from today. I just can't read them all.

I would love to come to the ladies meet. Please repost the time and day if someone can. I need to write things down somewhere. I was also planning to do the Martini tasting. I recently fell in love with apple martinis and would like to try some more.

Here are my most recent questions:

Is it probably going to be warm enough to take the kids to the pool as soon as we board?

We can check 2 bags each and carry on 1 each? If we bring a cooler with waters and Mountain Dew, we need to carry it on?

Anyone else with 13/14 year old daughters who would like to email with my daughter a couple of times before we cruise? She decided she wants to stay with the teen group and I thought it would be nice if she kind of knew someone before we go. She does make friends pretty easily so I'm sure she will be fine.

Well I need to get the kids summer clothes out of storage and start figuring out what they can wear.

 

[TiggerKing]

Good Morning Everyone!

Queenie, welcome to our "unique" little family! Like a family, we are an interesting blend of personalities and talent, we have our black sheep (read Shell & Wendy), but we accept them just the same!

Hope everyone is having a great day. I am spending the week in the big city of West Point, GA. Just having fun staying in hotels again!

 

[cmaelltt1]

OK, now I know when the ladies get together is so never mind. I think I will be there.

 

[U2Pixies]

Queenie. Our travelin' group consists of my dh(Steve), myself, our ds(Stephen- you will see him post as Steve), his dw(Esther), their 3 children, Stacey(9), Cullen(2), Laura(9mos.). We are celebrating: our 35th anniversary, which was in Sept., my b'day, which is Nov.24, and Esther's b'day, which is Nov. 28.
Looking forward to meeting you as well as your family.

Just want to say good morning to you all. I don't think I'll be posting much. Not too much to say at this point. However, I will be peeking in every so often to see if the meets have changed.

Kathy: You have been fantastic! I appreciate all your help and input. I know when everyone meets you in person they will be impressed with both you and your outlook on life. Share your story with everyone! You people are going to look at her the same way I do! Appreciate Life! Don't sweat the small stuff.

Kelly: I hope your dd gets to feeling better. The "bug" lasted about a week around here! It wasn't pleasant. I guess if anyone has to get sick it should be this week and this week only!
Have a day!
Pat
