May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 2

[fourmcds]

Wow...this site is horribly slow this am. I had a whole hour to DIS before my tap class but it is taking forever to get anything to load

Great Hannah Montana pics! Looks like both sets of kids had a great time. Not sure if I shared this before, but my girls met Miley when she opened for the Cheetah Girls. She wasn't as big then as she was now and she came outside after the show for over an hour signing autographs and shaking hands. She was very sweet and VERY tiny...I was shocked how tiny she was.

Marilyn, have a great time!

It's almost Friday!!!!!!!! My DCL party is tomorrow night, hopefully my box will be at my office when I get there later today. Per UPS it still says the package is being delivered on Monday

I wish this had a closeup picture, but it's a cute dress and the price can't be beat! http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Hand-Ma...ryZ48869QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Holly - email the seller and see if they can send you one.

We're off early for a flight to Northern Ireland to visit our ex DIL and our grandson. Back Monday evening.

Perhaps this site will be sorted by then or it might take till May just to catch up on what I have missed!!!!

Have to get up about 4am. Ah well, a little rehearsal for Feb 10th and reservation making day as they open at 5am our time!!!

Have a lovely time in Northern Ireland but are you sure 5am, I thought it is 8 am our times? over usa 3 am?

I am going to Glasgow for friend's birthday for meals on 9th Feb but I told her that I am not staying overnight and I want come home as I want to book palo, and not sure about excursion only one is pirate ship in pv.

OMG . . . I can't even take one night off!

Tonight we probably won't be home either - adult night out for dinner and seeing the play "Tuesdays with Morrie" with another couple at our local community theater.

I did the laundry calculations this afternoon, I think I might slurge for several things, but the unmentionables are staying with me.


I thought deck 6 aft was the little streakers club?


Pj

"Slurge?" Does this have something to do with your "unmentionables"? Should I be afraid?

OMG - Amber had a "big" meeting today - her area of GE is really expanding....maybe I need to be hired as a body guard for you.

You are hired!

Wow Amy--be careful! Hope they're giving you hazard pay!!! (Like in the military.)

That is so exciting Amy!!!!! What an opportunity!

Amy,

I hope it's a great trip!

Be safe! We'll keep John in good spirits here while you are away!

Karen

I am the one who will be earning the hazard pay! I will be dealing with Amy's mom (my MIL) who when I told her about this put her head on the table for five minutes! You guys may not see me here much for 18 days either!

Hi Everyone from Sunny Sydney Australia!!

This is my first post, and just wanted to say that we are coming along on this cruise too! 22 hours to get to Orlando and it will be worth every moment!!

My husband (DH 42) , myself and our 6 year old daughter will be there - Cat 4 - anyone else?

AND we are getting married again (a late 10th anniversary thing) whilst on board!!

AND it will be my 39th birthday on the 3rd last day as well

All in all, a big trip for us

Look forward to meeting with people on board!!

Take Care
Leanne

Welcome to all new crew! Our 22nd Anniversary is on the 24th!

When the show was over I loved Miley singing with her dad

We all sang Happy Birthday to my daughter in our suite and ate cake

She said it was the best night of her whole life. She was so excited and so happy I felt like crying. I have this picture of her framed in my room and when she looks at it she always says it was from "the best day ever" People said I was nuts for taking 20 of us and going all out but really she was so overjoyed I would do it again in a instant.

I lost my firstborn daughter when she was just four. She was here one day and gone the next. So many things I wish we had done together and places we had gone together. Now I do not put off anything I can do today with my kids such as this cruise. Hence my name I am all about Making_Memories.

My only mission in life is to make sure my children will always remember mom was fun, we did big things together mom and I, and she loves me more then anything in the whole world.

Wonderful - my feelings exactly. Your story brought tears to my eyes.

Great photos everyone else too!

Now back to work!

Holly - email the seller and see if they can send you one.

I thought about doing that, but found one I like better. From the seller where you bought, this is the dress I want: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vtg-Mexican-Han...ryZ63868QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It changed last summer sometime I believe. It is now 12 midnignt Eastern time.

I had to get up and be ready for 5am when I booked our resrvations for our Dec cruise. Then the site wouldn't let me!! Said I hadn't paid in full. Went back to bed a little upset and later that morning I tried again and it was ok. someone told me i should have logged out and back in again, but really how are you supposed to know?

I'm hoping things are ok this time. At least i am at 90 days and not 75 like then, plus there are more days and sea days for brunch.

 

[mishoe01]

Ok - onto planning for pirate night ....which do you guys prefer? (and for those who met me, which do you think would look better on me???)

If anybody needs more Crocs for this cruise, surftanddirt.com has free shipping until Monday. I like the new Malindi style. I'll probably get those to replace my poor worn out black Maryjane Crocs.

Welcome. Our group is just DH and I. Looking forward to meeting you too.

This could prove very confusing when we're all collecting our luggage!

I won a dress for Mexico night....hopefully this works...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=360014653018&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=023

I love it Monica. I have been looking at the sellers stuff too.

I wish this had a closeup picture, but it's a cute dress and the price can't be beat! http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Hand-Ma...ryZ48869QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

You are right. You cant beat that price. Yes, just ask for additional photos. Most ebayers don't have any problem with the request.

I like the second one too.

I have a bid on one, currently high bidder.
If I win I will post a pic.

Venetia and Holly - this seller is going to clean up on the DISers

 

[CameronsDad]

Can anyone give me some info on the laundry? Do they operate with quarters? If so, do I need to bring a couple of rolls of quarters? Will this be a problem on the flight to Florida? Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi Joseph - not sure about how they operate, but I don't think there should be any issue w/ brining the rolls of quarters w/ you on the plane....I would just take them in your carry on just in case anyone has sticky fingers.

 

[readyalready]

So how much is the villa? How did I miss that?

Yes, they operate on quarters. If I remember correctly, I think it was $1 to wash and $1 to dry. I remember being pleasantly surprised that it cost less than laundromats around here. There's also a machine in each laundry room that sells detergent (I think also $1/load) and I always bring a ziploc bag of dryer sheets from home. OH....I also brought my quarters in a ziploc bag in my suitcase, but you can also get quarters at the customer service desk (or whatever it's called on DCL--can't remember at the moment...it was the Purser's desk on Carnival).

Ah I see, because last summer July for Med Cruise I was up 5 am nothing then 7 am nothing then 8 am started open up.

Oh well, I better set alarm clock then cos we like to have brunch and high tea too. Hopeful we get it.
