I started packing today! Well, I laid most of my clothes out. I didn't actually put them in the bag so they're not too wrinkled lol. And I made a list of everything else I have to do & pack the morning of. I can't believe I finally leave in 5 days!!

I took my suitcase out yesterday and I've been thinking about packing all day haha I'm kinda hoping that if I think about packing enough my suitcase will automatically pack itself haha and I can't decide if I want to work on my US review guide or my english essay on the plane haha I can't believe I leave in 6 days! I've been waiting for this for like a year! haha

[Thatpaigechicck]

I cant wait either! My mom just told me to start packing.
Ive picked out all of my clothes.
Ehh. Its taking too long!

[cruiseeeeaddict]

I agree - it's taking wayyyy to long! The last week is always the worst wait.

Stephanie, what are you guys doing in Cozumel & Belize?

We were going to do the Manatee Swim at Chakkanaab in Cozumel and a captain your own river boat in Belize but due to the island times being an hour behind the ship we wouldn't be able to make either, and the river boat has been getting horrible reviews recently. So now we don't know what to do. We're fine just hanging around the port area in Belize and doing the Margaritaville, Sr. Frogs, etc.. in Cozumel but I wanted to see if there's anything else, lol.

[Tropicalstephy]

I don't know if we're getting off the ship in Cozumel cause we just went there over the summer. My mom thinks that I want to go to del sol but I really don't want to haha we may just have a "sea day" haha
In Belize we are doing this calypso train tour that we booked through the ship and then just some souvenier shopping I think haha I don't really know
It's been snowing here all day and my brother and I just went out to shovel the driveway and the snow was SO heavy! haha I wish it was the light snow and not the super heavy snow haha cause then it's really annoying to shovel.

[cruiseeeeaddict]

The snow here is the light fluffy stuff, but there's a tonnnnnn of it.
Thankfully I don't have to shovel more then the back patio, and even that I don't really do most of the time unless I'm the only one home lol.

I can't wait to get away from the snow!

[Tropicalstephy]

yea the light fluffy snow is way better! My brother and I had to shovel the driveway cause we are the only ones home haha
I'm so ready too! 5 more days!!!

[cruiseeeeaddict]

Ahh - as of now it's supposed to rain in cozumel & belize! Oh well, rather have it rain there then here.

4 days to go for me! I got my suitcases outta' the basement today. Most of my stuff is ready to throw in them. Somehow the 5 day cruise turned into 10 days away from home haha.

[Tropicalstephy]

10 days??? I'm pretty jealous! Mines just 6 haha We come home Saturday then I have 1 day to recover/finish homework before I have to go back to school on monday... haha

[cruiseeeeaddict]

Haha, I have no idea how it turned into 10 days. We're heading down this saturday & then coming home January 4.

[Tropicalstephy]

I'm jealous!!!! haha I so am not looking forward to school!

[Tropicalstephy]

I'm jealous!!!! haha I so am not looking forward to school!

[cruiseeeeaddict]

I've been outta' school for like 3 months because of my head, so that's not really an issue for me. I should be starting home tutoring pretty soon after I get back though. Just what I want - my teachers at my house lol.

My mom has to work and my boyfriend has school & work the day after we get back. Our flight gets in early enough though that they'll have most of the day to recover before going back to reality.

[Tropicalstephy]

haha ooo that sounds fun! When I get back to school in all my classes we have to "hit the ground running" cause we only have 2 wks til finals haha just great...

[cruiseeeeaddict]

i hate when teachers do that. they do practically nothing the days before vacation, then cram it all in afterwards.

[Tropicalstephy]

Yea except for before break I had like a million tests and quizzes in all my classes haha

[cruiseeeeaddict]

woke up this morning to news of a plane crash in jamaica - right on schedule! every single time i have to fly somewhere there is a crash within the week before i leave. it drives me nuts considering how much i hate hate hate flying. luckily nobody was killed in this one.

3 days till ft. lauderdale, 5 till the cruise!!!!

[Tropicalstephy]

That's scary!!
I'm so excited. My mom's been like Stephanie you should start packing cause it takes me like literally a week to pack haha and I usually start like a week before I leave and then I'm still packing the morning of haha

4 days til Miami!!!! 5 til Cruise!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cruiseeeeaddict]

It takes me like ten minutes tops to pack. I pretty much bring everything summery i own & then figure out what I actually need when I get there. My mom hates it haha. I'll probably throw my stuff in my bag Christmas night.

[Tropicalstephy]

I do the same thing!
I pretty much just have to decide like which tank tops and tshirts I want to bring. I already decided which dresses I'm gonna bring for like dinner. My mom always tells me Stephanie you know that you don't need to bring that many clothes right? I'm just like yea I definitely do haha
The hardest thing for me this trip is deciding what I want to carry on cause I was thinking about bringing my US book to start my final review guide but idk haha

[cruiseeeeaddict]

My mom does the same thing!! She tells me every trip that I'm bringing too much & don't need it all. I always end up wearing everything though. I tried explaining to her that on the ship I need at least 3 changes of clothes a day - one for hanging out/pool, something nice for dinner, and then something for after dinner. She doesn't get it... haha.

The only thing I really have left to do is download new music for the plane, but I'm waiting 'till Christmas in case Santa decides to bring some iTunes gift cards lol. I suppose if I get antsy on the plane I could type my essay for psychology, but I doubt that'll happen.

[Tropicalstephy]

Haha yea same here! I have to wait til my mom does laundry to pack most of my stuff. I picked out all my dinner outfits and shoes today haha
I'm so ready!

[cruiseeeeaddict]

My mom just put my last load of cruise laundry in the dryer, haha. Everythings piled up on my desk in my room just waiting to go in the suitcases.

I'm ready to leave like now!

[Tropicalstephy]

haha same! It's been like raining/snowing all day and its not supposed to stop til like Saturday... I can't wait to get to warm weather!

[cruiseeeeaddict]

it's just been cold here, thankfully no rain. it's actually gonna go up to like 40 degrees tomorrow! but then it's going to rain christmas night into the next day, just in time to fly out. lovelyyyy.

[Tropicalstephy]

yea the weather here is not good right now, the delays at the airport that we fly out of are like 2 1/2 hours haha I love living in Chicago... haha

[cruiseeeeaddict]

hopefully the delays are gone by the time you fly out sunday!

i can't believe after waiting for what seems like forever for this cruise it's finally here on monday!

[Tropicalstephy]

I know! I can't believe 2009 is almost over! The year went by so fast!!!
