Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.9

[birkner]

DH John & I are headed to DS's this afternoon. DS will take us to the airport in the morning for our flight to Orlando and then we board our magic carpet for Barcelona Tuesday. Bags are packed...only 2 to check in. How did I manage that?

Only kink in the plans is my arthritis & bursitis in my hips has decided to rear its ugly head. Got plenty of pain pills but hate to take them. Guess it's time to suck it up and swallow those bad boys! Hopefully that will help me sleep on the plane as well as take care of the pain.

If we don't see you around Barcelona, see you aboard the Magic!

Jackie

Our flight from SFO is tomorrow night at 7PM as we are flying first to Frankfut. I am impressed you made it with only 2 check in bags!! My hero!!

Sorry you are having so much pain. I hope the pain pills work for the pain and help you sleep.

Have a safe and comfortable flight first to Orlando, then on to Barcelona!! See you either in Barcelona or on the Magic!!

 

[birkner]

Ok ... 4 cases ... don't rub it in !!!!!!

I am trying to squish everything into just 2 big wheeled bags and 2 small cabin bags !!

A laudable goal and one I was not able to reach except for the 2 small cabin bags each!!

I haven't downloaded the Navigator to my iPad yet. Is it easy to do? I'm a novice who finds it hard to learn!!

I could do with some info to download it to my IPOD touch if that is doable.

Take care and just get swallowing those babies.

I printed it out, cut up the pages ,then couldnt work out which order they went in.
But I think it is all good now, I just need to print of the room tour and check my martini tastings, The lost phone has been unblocked so Len has a posh new phone now as well.

Me neither. We have the same overpacking genes!! I can't say as yet whether I have actually managed to fit the weight for our 4 bags. I know the stuff fits in, but it could be the weight that will be the problem.

The easiest way we found to do it, is to save it to our computer, and e mail it to ourselves. Then open the attachment in I books, and it will be in your library.

You may need a PDF reader app.

Hope this helps.

We bit the bullet as Air Berlin goes by weight and not number of cases. United allows us 3 each so we are at 5. Now on the return, I can tuck the shipped duffel and the extra bag into the empty suitcase from the FE etc. and be back at 4.

I wonder even if I am not using DCL transportation will they let me check my bags at the Le Meridien or will it be like Port Canaveral, you had to accompany your bags? Anyone know?

 

[TotallyAngelic]

I have just sorted out my jewellery .... and I am still finishing off the scavenger hunt sheets .... it's taking forever !!

Now I feel a bit nauseous after the lunchtime slimfast .... might be time to stop it now .. I don't know if I lost any more weight but I feel better about myself, and to be honest I am getting to the "past caring" stage.

Besides ... I am going on a Disney Cruise

I'm a little late to the thread - found the original question about the Navigator, but not what it is. Isn't the Navigator the ship's daily newsletter and schedule? Is it available in electronic format now?

Our DIS group has its own version of the Navigator with info about our activities as well as a lot of useful information. It's not the official DCL one.

Pausing for a breather so thought I'd pop by and say "hi"...

Most of my packing is done!!! Just the long dresses to be added at the last possible moment, methinks. Can't find my luggage scales (I may have lent them to DD Sophie) but I doubt there will be an issue as the cases themselves aren't overly large - still, can't hurt to check...

Still have to sort out the bling!!! But that shouldn't take long as I have a good idea of what I want to bring. And most of my toiletries are good to go from my last trip - just have to refill a couple of the bottles.

Also I worked out what I'm travelling to Barcelona in - one less thing to think about...

Anyway, better get back to the matter in hand!!! Catch up with you all later...

I am sure you are going to look glorious!! Take care to eat some real food so you are not feeling nauseous!!

My goal this past year has been to maintain the loss of 36 pounds which I have done successfully. I hit a plateau about a year ago which without adding a great deal more exercise, I know I will not be able to loose more weight.

When we get back from the cruise, I am going to get very serious about loosing the rest of the weight that I need to loose. Part of weight loss, IMHO, is not only loosing the added weight but being able to maintain the weigh loss!!

One of our DIS members has created a personal Navigator for those of us on this cruise detailing our many planned activities. If you click on the link above you will see you can either print the personal navigator or download it to a personal electronic device or a PDF reader.

Finished tour

Sue had kindly offered to order us nibbles and allow us to drop a bottle of water,wine,coke,whatever,(Sue is going to order ice) off at her stateroom before room tour or we can take something with us, or you can leave it at our stateroom (1st on tour) and I will collect them all and bring them at the end.


It is easier to go up the way and it means only 3 elevator rides the way it has worked out.
A VERY BIG Thanks to all who offered the cabins,its a shame we cant do them all.
Let me know if you are coming so I can let sue know how many nibbles to order, ofcourse you can leave right after room tour, know doubt we will all be busy.

John has been constantly reminding me we are going "on vacation" not on a business trip. I guess with all the tour planning I have been approaching this as if we were going on a business trip so I need to get into vacation mode!!

We are going to the airport quite early as DD Samantha needs to be at work at 4:00 PM so we are going to hang out in the Red Carpet Lounge. John and I have decided to go over all of our trip plans at that point so we can get the schedules in our Kindle as PDF's as I don't want to carry much paper with us as we walk around Barcelona.

OMG - It's so very exciting that many of our fellow WBTA DIS'ers are now leaving for our trip!!!! Noel - have a safe trip and RELAX!!!!

I don't leave until Wednesday and I'm going to be jam packed at work. And I need to train someone to do my job while I'm gone since they cut back so much that no one else understands everything I do. I'll do what I can and then it is what it is.

We'll be heading to the airport a bit earlier for our flight too. My sister is taking us down and her daughter has a school soccer game at 3:30 so she wants to be back in time for that. So we'll probably get to the airport at 2-2:30 for our 6:30 flight but I'm okay with that. I'd rather be there waiting for the flight then stuck on the highway behind traffic!!!!

DH John & I are headed to DS's this afternoon. DS will take us to the airport in the morning for our flight to Orlando and then we board our magic carpet for Barcelona Tuesday. Bags are packed...only 2 to check in. How did I manage that?

Have a safe trip. Definitely take those pain pills and I certainly hope your arthritis and bursitis takes a break so you can truly enjoy your vacation!

I don't know if I lost any more weight but I feel better about myself, and to be honest I am getting to the "past caring" stage.

Besides ... I am going on a Disney Cruise

I joined the "past caring" stage sometime ago. Granted I know I still need to lose a lot of weight to feel healthier but I honestly don't feel that bad so I will have a great trip and just have to buckle down when I get back.

Pausing for a breather so thought I'd pop by and say "hi"...

Most of my packing is done!!!
Anyway, better get back to the matter in hand!!! Catch up with you all later...

Yah for you!!!! My goal today is to pack everything that can possibly be packed and then see where I stand weight wise. I've already decided to pay the extra to take two bags (I get two bags on SW on my flight home from Florida so it's only paying for the one for the trip over to Barcelona). Of course to meet that goal, I will need to get my butt out of this chair and get off the thread!!!

Let me know if you are coming so I can let sue know how many nibbles to order, ofcourse you can leave right after room tour, know doubt we will all be busy.

I'll definitely be planning on this. It will be my first chance to actually see another cabin other than my CAT11.

Very excited!!!

Thanks I will do part one now then!!

Try and introduce some healthy eating options instead of going straight back to your normal eating.

I am sure you are going to look glorious!! Take care to eat some real food so you are not feeling nauseous!!

My goal this past year has been to maintain the loss of 36 pounds which I have done successfully. I hit a plateau about a year ago which without adding a great deal more exercise, I know I will not be able to loose more weight.

When we get back from the cruise, I am going to get very serious about loosing the rest of the weight that I need to loose. Part of weight loss, IMHO, is not only loosing the added weight but being able to maintain the weigh loss!!

Maintaining is the hardest, especially as you get older or have other reasons that you can't do all the different exercise options. I have never maintained for more than a couple of months. I always say I am either dieting or putting on weight!

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Sea Day 24th 4pm, we will be there from back of 3 if anybody fancies a dram, bring a glass/paper mug/ice and mixer....anybody welcome, we have interconnecting rooms so plenty room as long as you are touchy/feely,lol,ps we are taking whats left of whisky to sues room.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

As usual, I thought of checking this board way to late to get in on any of the activities... and being that we're traveling with two other couples we've got our own fun stuff planned, anyway.

Mostly checked the Disboards to refresh my mind about stuff to bring.

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Hey guys, Ive printed a few room tours lists of, can you print one if you need it to save me bringing lots of them thanks, although we only really need a few unless you wanted to make notes if you were thinking about trying another cat.....

only 17 hours left to work
