Hi-

Woke up and couldn't go back to sleep so I thought I would check in for today.

It's going to be a long day. Donated blood yesterday at work so I was going to be tired today anyway. Now I'll just be exhausted!! :ohmy:

One day closer............

Have a great day!

Hi Martha & Marylou

I just got home again and wanted to stop by and say hello - I was out almost all day long and I am really tired so I am off to bed in the next 1/2 hour :biggrin:

I went to Walmart (yuck) I hate that store but needed to get ibuprofen and tums LOL for the cruise and also some cover girl under eye make up that I use I have almost all my make up and stuff like that packed - so I am doing good now - on a roll. I even put some clothes in the bottom of the suitcase that won't wrinkel.

Ok talk to you both tomorrow - zzzzzz time for bed.

Good morning - 3 weeks from today we will be on the road to Florida - really really can't wait.

My Verizon/Yahoo is down and I have a ton of e-mails there so if you wrote to me I'm not ignoring you, I just can't get into my e-mail.

Peggy - check the prices on the cruise - they are all over the place. Our D-1's have come down $200 PP on Monday and another $200 yesterday. You may be able to upgrade to a non-guarantee balcony cabin for what you paid for an inside. Don't know what so many cabins are suddenly opening up.

Martha - so many D'1s have opened up it's amazing. Still waiting for those suite to come down a bit more though - that's the only thing that will get us to move. haha Either that or the illusive upgrade fairy who I really don't believe exists.

All clothes have been tried on - most fit - just need odds and ends to finish us. Luggage has been aired out and is ready to pack.

Talk to everyone later.

Hi Marylou

It would cost another 350.00 pp for the balcony guarantee and she refuses to upgrade I would like to go to an OV at least but that would be over 200.00 pp and the guarantee would probably be on Deck 2 - that's too low down for me - I am waiting till a week before to try and do something if not then then possible at the dock? That balcony price is really great wish she would upgrade.

I sent you an e-mail LOL about your new phone #'s is think maybe one of them is wrong? but I guess you didn't get it.

I finally got some sleep and feel better today - what a crazy day yesterday was - today I will have more time at home.

Martha - Guess today was a bad hair day LOL LOL or else you left for work really early - talk to you both later.

Peggy

Peggy - e-mail is still out but the #'s I posted are correct. In the last set of four numbers the first 2 are reversed for Jim & I. Crazy but I'm getting to talk to a lot of old friends. Everyone thinks its a typo

peggyg · November 13, 2008

Marylou - LOL - I thought it was a typo too.

Hi MaryLou & Peggy- I didn't sleep well last night. I was up at 2 am on the computer. Just got home from my all day class. I didn't fall asleep so I guess it was good. :biggrin:

Big News: We have changed our cabin. THANKS MARY LOU!!!!

We are now in 1604; on top of you!! If we make too much noise, just bang on the ceiling!! :laugh:

Maybe we can work out a pulley system and send things back and forth.

Seriously, I called my friend in Fla. and emailed my friend in Tx. Both have been on deck 10 and heard no noise from WJ. My friend in Fla. stayed in 1604 and loved it. My Texas friend stayed next door and said go for it so we did!!!! It will be our first aft! My Tx. friend sent us pictures and even Lee got excited.

Mary Lou- please change the cabin crawl. I hope this doesn't mess you up..... Maybe the people from

UK can show us their cabin; I think it's on the hump.

The other good news: we got a letter welcoming us to Diamond!!

It was a REALLY good day today!

Martha

Great news Martha - just remember not to drop things down on our head. lol Did you see the size of that balcony? I really can't wait to see the first set of locks close behind us.

I'm happy to hear that your friends stayed in that cabin and said they heard no noise. I was only going by what I have read on various boards about being under the WJ. I called about 9256 but it was gone already - that's OK. I'm happy with what we have.

Welcome to Diamond C & A. I'll see you in the Concierge Lounge - one of the best perks of being Diamond.

I'll change the cabin crawl one more time before we leave and make your room change.

Had a very productive day today but my house now looks like a tornado went through it. I have piles of clothes everywhere. Have the trip to Fla. and back all done and most of the cruise done. Things really are falling into place. (Remind me I said that when I am pulling my hair out in a couple of weeks)

Jim & I will be sleeping on the pull out sofa if I don't make a path through our bedroom so I'll check back later.
