Lin, I left the http:// in and it worked. Hmmmmmm, interesting.

 

You are almost there! Try something else. I am sure you will get it. It took me about 5 times re-trying, and re-trying to get my first one to work!

 

Good luck! You will get it!

Hi,

 

I used to carry a signed letter from the doctor re: epipens, but both boys also wear medic alert bracelets and we've never been hassled about it. It's especially dangerous for us flying on the airplanes as they do continue to serve nuts as snacks and we've had reactions mid-air before.

I know I have found packing list on here before and I go to print it and I find none. If you have cruised before and have alist you always use, please share with me. If you can actually email me personally as well that would be great.

How hard is it for people to just post the darn packing list to the boards instead of emailing them everywhere under the blue moon?

 

These boards are to help people...not just particular people who distribute their email addresses.

 

If people have a packing list they "normally" use...please post to the board so everyone can have a looksee.

Mine is 3 columns long. That is why I don't post it here.

To ALL of you (around 8 people) that asked me for my packing lists, I emailed them out to you this morning. I was sick last week and missed 3 days of work, so I am just now getting back to the norm again.

 

Thanks so much for asking and I will let you know when I update it soon!
