halos Posted June 16, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Look at my clock. I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin. I can't concentrate on anything. I have a ton of stuff to do but can't pull away from these boards. I don't know how I am going to get through these next 78 hours...the hours are flying and crawling at the same time...there must be some sort of time warp going on around me....ahhhhh! I understand the OATC syndrome.....the PCD syndrome...but WHAT is THIS syndrome???? Is there a cure? HELP! Should I just go make some jell-o shots...will that help???

Barb C Posted June 16, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hi Halos! I'm so jealous! Have a wonderful time! I did on the May 23 cruise. If you want a nice table for 2, try #402 on the second floor. Claudio was the waiter with Claudia as assistant. They were great! Bon Voyage! Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstrybuf Posted June 16, 2004 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Pre-cruise jitters? You sound perfectly normal to me! All I can tell you is to keep busy, double and triple check that everything is done, read the boards and have a jello shot or foo foo drink. Won't be much longer!

pungo3 Posted June 16, 2004 #5 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I highly recommend the jello shots. The time won't go any faster but you just won't care.

Sophie Posted June 16, 2004 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2004 My suggestion is to finish packing, etc. Get TOTALLY ready to go. Then you can spend the next three days relaxing, eating your jello shots and playing on the boards till it's time to walk out the door! Have a great cruise!!

crzndeb Posted June 16, 2004 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Halos, Forget the jello, just go for the shots. That way you can pass out for a couple of days and then it will be time to go...LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingGirl Posted June 16, 2004 #11 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I can relate, I don't cruise until Mon. (6/21) and I'm already going crazy. Part of my craziness is that my DH doesn't even know about the cruise yet. I'm surprising him for his 40th birthday. I'm so excited I can't wait.

tlynnie Posted June 16, 2004 #13 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hmm..I seem to be suffering form different symptoms of the same affliction. Today I got almost finished with my packing, paid all of the bills that are due in the next two weeks so I don't have to worry when I come back. I taped dinner money to the fridge for our first night home. I am not cooking! I got the kids bags packed and ready to go to grandma's, filled out my luggage tags and extra labels since mine are guarantee, and tried once again, unsuccessfully, to print my Funpass! In a few minutes I am going to clean the car and fill it with gas for the drive to NYC Saturday morning. Tomorrow I will be lost, there will be so little left to do! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Too many days since the Legend (10/03) Looking forward to Victory...6/04!!!

BARB...Table for 2 won't work for the 8 of us!! HSTRY....Glad I'm normal, but if I am, I hate to see what abnormal is CRZNDEB...That's great advice!! LIV....NO ONE is taking my place. If I happen to drop dead before Saturday, my family knows that my wishes are for them to drag me around with them (Weekend At Bernie's style) CRUISINGGIRL....Don't know how you've kept sane holding that secret!!! I bow to you for keeping your sanity! PATNOLI...Have a great time!! TLYNNIE....Did all that stuff too...filled out luggage tags the minute Docs came, washed car yesterday, withdrew all funds from bank account today Funpasses were printed months ago, bought bungee cords, post it notes etc. On top of all this cruise excitement, my youngest DD is taking her driver's test tomorrow. This morning after I left the boards I had to take her out for an extra hour of parallel parking practice... I REALLY need some shots right now!

Sassy5 Posted June 16, 2004 #18 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hi Halos I feel the same way you do. I just can't get myself organized.

izzyvet Posted June 17, 2004 #22 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I was there a few weeks ago. I couldn't stand it that last week, but I had so much to get done that it ended up going pretty fast. And good advice about double-checking everything that you need. I let my husband pack his things and the first morning when it came time to get dressed, he had no underwear! Completely forgot to pack them. Luckily they carried Hanes in the ship store!! That made for some laughs at the dinner table. And I don't think he'll ever forget anything like that again.
