We finish packing today. I packed the BIG suitcase and it was 54lbs, so I gotta figure something out. Was only going to have 2 suitcases plus backpacks for the 6 of us, but I will probably have to bring a 3rd bag and leave some empty space in the BIG bag just to make the weight limit.

Soooooooooooooo excited though!!!!!

Huh.... Packing.... Ya... I head out Thursday, so more then likely Wednesday night. Can't wait, but I guess I'm more in a pre-packing packing stage! Just getting myself mentally prepared to load up the suitcases.

Don't add the extra bag, just move things around until you meet the weight requirement. I had to do that because of all the FE gifts, but on the up side....lots of free room for stuff coming back

I think mom ended up with her 25 inch and a 21 inch carryon. I've got my 26 inch and my small 17inch (wide) rolling travel tote.

I have a car, so not limited to weight. Ha ha. Plus I don't have to pack a parka. 75 degrees and partly cloudy right now.

Color me jealous!!!!! I'll be freezing leaving here in just my lightweight Mickey mouse fleece. Can't wait for Florida / carribean warmth! We got another 2 inches of snow this AM!

I've been moving stuff around. The first thing to come out was our big ol' bag of FE gifts- but I think that those actually weigh less than the same cubic space of tightly packed clothes. The BIG suitcase is just too BIG (29in tall x 11in deep) to pack in under 50lbs.

I had to concede defeat and go with the extra bag. 1 29 +1 27 + a regular sized duffel bag still isn't too bad for a family of four. And now there is PLENTY of room for anything that we want to bring home.

Thanks for the encouragement though

We are having freezing rain. So glad I don't have to go to work today or out at all.

Actually, I am pretty glad any day that I don't have to go to work.

I actually bought pants this weekend. Normally, I would only bring shorts and (if the weather was cool enough) jeans. Since we're not supposed to wear shorts or jeans at dinner on the ship, I went and bought some casual pants.

Well I just completed and printed my Online Check-In for my POST CRUISE WDW stay......I don't know if that is exciting since I get to experience Bay Lake Tower or if it is depressing since that means the cruise will be over.

Hmmmmmm.

Exciting! BLT is great. Plus you get to continue the magic at WDW instead of going home!

**shelbell77** · 02-22-2011, 08:34 AM

It's lightly snowing here in Central Illinois....and the temp is 29.....plus my daughter, who is going on the cruise, has a bad cold - almost bronchitis...... so hoping by Sat a.m. she is feeling better. Hard to rest with a 3 yr old!
