The Social Security/ welfare checks didn't come in for one whole zip code today.
And it's a bad neighborhood, lots of people get these checks there.

Woops, post office doesn't know where they got sent but we didn't have them.

People were calling and swearing all day.

Do you think the bosses should have said?:

"Ha, Ha, April Fools! No checks for you today!":eek:

You wanna talk rain?

Here's what the side yard at our house looked like yesterday after about two inches of rain in three hours:

Fishing charters available soon...
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n306/Jason570/DSC02944.jpg

Thankfully it stopped raining and the thousands of dollars worth of drains we installed a few years ago started pushing all that water into the street. And thanks to the sump pump our basement stayed dry. We were sweating it for a while during some of those storms in case we lost power ... :scared:

:scared: :scared:
when we had the house, we got a battery backup in case the power went out.

Yum...that sounds good!!!

I have to go to the grocery store tonight for an "in-between" stop - not a major shop, but more than milk and bread. I think I'll pick up a rotisserie chicken and make mashed taters and veggies to go with it.

Enjoy your breakfast Andy...

(and know that I really do feel sorry for you when you have to work in nasty weather....)

You've never heard of twit before? Yeah, it's April Fools, I don't believe anything the dawg says today :rolleyes:

[oybolshoi]

Hey Jen - did you see that WDW announced their 2008 dates today for MNSSHP?

I know you were talking about attending one either before or after the cruise (can't remember which) but it looks like they're doing the same thing this year that they did last year - parties on Thursday and Friday nights, but none on Saturday.

Just something for you to think about when you get in the mood to plan for next year's trip. ;)

Good morning people:goodvibes

Not much to say this morning.

Off out in an hour - early start for an activity session at our local centre - galactic something - (craft).

I'll pop back in later.

[Verandah Man]

Mornin' All......:wave:

Yesterday we got up to 72* then a cold front came through bringing severe thunderstorms and colder temps, windchill this morning is in the low 30's.

Still feeling yucky :sick: nose stuffed up so bad can hardly breathe.

[millerpjm]

Good morning/afternoon all....

Andy - sorry you're feeling poorly, and it's cold. Take some good cold meds and have some hot soup at lunch (none of this shake stuff:snooty: )....

Brenda - thanks for letting me know about the 2008 dates for MNSSHP - I'm still holding out hope that they'll have one Saturday after we cruise since it IS Halloween, but I may need to either chuck the idea or come up with a plan B.

Hi Jen--I took some cold tablets this morning, and I think Hazel picked up some Chicken Noodle soup, might have some of that for lunch today, but now, I've got get this old body of mine on the move and get out the door for work.........:wave2:

Morning Everyone!

Jen, my travel agent sent me all the dates and there is one for the 31st. She said the tickets should go on sale May 1st. We are also planning on doing the party that night.:thumbsup2

Andy, it must be an east coast thing. I am also feeling horribly. :sick: yesterday when I got home from work I went straight to bed. I NEVER do that!!!!!! I hope you feel better soon.:hug: (Wait, scratch that hug I don't want anymore germs.):rotfl2:

[JLDSMD]

Just wanted to stop by and say hi. Still really busy and probably will be until about the 15th.

Looks like the thread has slowed down a bit. Actually a good thing for people like me who aren't on much as of late. Just hope no one gets bored and leaves us.

Looks like a lot of people are missing - must be getting busy with spring items.

I'll try to check back every couple days. If you need anything from me, just shoot me a PM.

I'm actually thinking WAAYYY ahead to 2009 - the 31st will be a Saturday that year, so Brenda is thinking they may not have a MNSSHP the day we get back....

Not too much going on here...just working and stuff.

Oh, an update on my kitties...their bloodwork, etc. all came back normal. So, boy kitty is just being a goober, and I may have to give in and set him up another litter box at his "new spot" (which is 3 feet away from the other box :headache: )...:confused3

[Verandah Man]

Morning Everyone!

Thanks!!! The meds are helping and I just had a hot bowl of Progresso Traditional Garlic Chicken Soup, or some fancy name like that. It was quite good and really hit the spot!!! :thumbsup2

[millerpjm]

Can I go home too? A nap sounds really good right now...:cloud9:

[JLDSMD]

I think it will be on that day because it IS Halloween that day. They always have it on Halloween night.

They don't do Saturdays usually because they are big nights during the week, but who wouldn't run a Halloween party on Halloween.

[millerpjm]

Yum...sounds good! I really like Progresso soups...

I'm having leftover chicken with couscous, and apple slices.

Now, after work, more soup, and hot tea :)

That's what I'm hoping for....otherwise we would probably just fly back Saturday.

But who knows - maybe we could do a couple days in WDW too...hmmm...

Darn it Jeff, now you've got me thinking about staying longer...pretty soon DH won't let me play on the boards anymore.....

[Verandah Man]

Our DVC resale offer for OKW has been accepted, we should have our contract by the end of the day, now the "fun" and more "waiting" begins!!! ;)

Now I have to go back to work so I can pay for the DVC resale!!! :woohoo:

Yes - Jeff is right. the MK always hosts MNSSHP on Halloween - I just didn't look ahead and remember that we disembark on the 31st. :headache:

Having said that - be sure to buy those tickets early since the party on the 31st always sells out. :thumbsup2

No problem - I've learned there are no guarantees when planning like this ;)

I plan to have the decision made on whether we're going, who's all going, etc. before tickets go on sale so I can get them the first day...and I'm counting on Jeff to make sure I know when they go on sale...hear that, Jeff??? :lmao: :rotfl:

I just went out to WDW's site to see what the prices are this year and I see they are not available for purchase yet (at least where I was looking). I agree, buy them as soon as they are released.

Jen, if you are flying out of Milwaukee, you will have to make the decission early if you want to stay until Sunday. The planes will fill up instantly at 330 days due to Teachers' Vacation (I mean Convention) weekend.

Jeff, if you ever give up numbers, you could make a living as a Disney travel agent!

BTW, Jeff....please help me remember at 330 days out to book my flight....;)

Not much money in TA work from what I understand.

You'll know when 330 days is since Cheryl, Nancy, Janice and I will all be talking about it I'm sure. However, it will also depend on when you plan on flying down. Also, I don't think you can get the fly back date until it is 330 days from then. If MW (Airtran doesn't put theirs up at 330 days) sells the one way at 1/2 the cost, then I may pick up our outbound right away and book the return a week later when it comes available.

Doing a quick calculation, if you wait until the return is available, you'd be looking at December 5th of this year (or maybe it's the 6th, but if you try on the 5th and it's not there, no big loss - as opposed to going on, on the 6th to find out it was the 5th :headache: ).

We plan on going on Friday, October 23rd, so 330 days should be November 27th for the outbound. If all else fails, we'll fly in/out of Tampa (actually like that because it is less of a hassle) or wait until AT's fairs come out.

If you fly out of Chicago again, you'll have less of a fight for tickets.

[oybolshoi]

FYI for next year ... MNSSHP tickets go on sale on May 1 of this year. That's pretty much in keeping with years past. I know when I bought ours for 2006 I bought them in May.

[JLDSMD]

Congrats Andy. You have to be happy.

Suz and I have been talking about it over the past year, but haven't ever came to the point of acting on buying one. We go to FL on average twice a year, so it would pay off I think. We would only need about 70 points tops for how much we'd use it.

I vaguely remember that from last year. If you know you'll go, plan on buying them that day. If you buy and don't go, I bet you'd find someone to buy them from you on Ebay.

We hummed and hawed for sometime before be purchased Boardwalk...but so glad we did now. Go on Jeff...you know you want to.

To confirm this years dates:

September 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 26, 28, 30;October 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28, 30,and 31. Tickets go on sale May 1.

Karen - my allears newsletter reports that the Cheesecake Factory at Disney Quest is closing down.

Does that just leave Mall @ Mallenia now?

I'll have to remember all this - I'll probably write it down tonight :)

It may also depend on what the rest of the "family" decides to do...and when they decide to fly back. I am all for making separate travel arrangements for the best deal, but there's been talk of "all flying together" :headache: which will probably mean flying out of Milwaukee. My BIL is building up his United miles on his credit card, but I don't know if they (United) fly MKE to ORD or not.

It's not that I don't love my in-laws, but it seems so difficult to plan/coordinate things with them. I haven't figured out why yet.

I didn't really mind flying out of Chicago Midway - we really had hardly any problems. To me, there's not much difference between flying out of Chicago or Milwaukee - both locations are a bit of a drive. So, we'll see what happens...

[millerpjm]

Quick question....

If you don't always go on a big vacation every year, and it's not always Disney, is DVC worth it? I don't understand timeshares in general, and we are averaging only 1 big trip every 2 years, so I''m guessing it wouldn't be worth it for us?

[MinnMick01]

Hi Scott! :wave:

Not too much going on here...just working and stuff.

Hi Jen. Just got home with lilprincess: . She had a half day at school. Now getting the girls lunch, and then off to the orthodontisit for the older one.

It isn't worth it for us either Jen, but only because of our age. Buying into DVC now would leave mostly all the vacations for the kids to inherit. I'll never live long enough to enjoy all those vacations I'd need to make up for the purchase price.:upsidedow

Just thought I'd do a little check in myself. We're crazy busy with wedding stuff but I should be back in full swing after it's over...As long as we still have a thread to post on. Seems a little slow here kids. :confused3

We have a lot of changes going on here at work too. Changes that are making Mother Goose very sad. :sad2: (I'm buying a few lottery tickets tonight). Ah yes, the lottery...aka The Rednecks Retirement Plan. :lmao:

Oh, there will still be a thread...but I can only post so much considering my life is not too interesting at the moment... ;)

:hug: MG - hope the changes still leave you with a job!!!

Yes, we also occasionally invest in the "Redneck Retirement plan" :lmao:
I partially justify the cost by the fact that we get a property tax rebate of about $75-$85 a year from the lottery...so we can spent at least that much in tickets and still break even!

note to self - buy tickets after work...

Afternoon/Evening everyone! Just wanted to drop in as say hi.

Brenda I bought a new book last night- Anthony Bourdain's A Cooks Life.
Picked it up for $1.50! Wasn't sure if you had read it or not.

If you buy the minimum of points, you can then bank/borrow points to make it worth staying for a longer period at WDW. We're using some of our points for our hotel in California at the beginning of the Repo and then several nights in WDW at the end of the cruise.

Just thought I'd do a little check in myself. We're crazy busy with wedding stuff but I should be back in full swing after it's over...As long as we still have a thread to post on. Seems a little slow here kids. :confused3

We have a lot of changes going on here at work too. Changes that are making Mother Goose very sad. :sad2: (I'm buying a few lottery tickets tonight). Ah yes, the lottery...aka The Rednecks Retirement Plan. :lmao:


:grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: for you Nancy. Don't forget we want to see loads of pics.:flower3:

[Dyerneeds]

Hmmm, so do I make a tshirt that says this or a sign:rolleyes1
Picture will be posted though of either one!

Definately a tee-shirt..the canal day.:lmao:

now surely you lovely ladies will have better things to do on the repo cruise than torment underdog.:headache: :rotfl2:

Our DVC resale offer for OKW has been accepted, we should have our contract by the end of the day, now the "fun" and more "waiting" begins!!! ;)

Now I have to go back to work so I can pay for the DVC resale!!! :woohoo:

:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2
congrats andy

this isnt a "day after april fools day" joke is it?:lmao:

[Dyerneeds]

It isn't worth it for us either Jen, but only because of our age. Buying into DVC now would leave mostly all the vacations for the kids to inherit. I'll never live long enough to enjoy all those vacations I'd need to make up for the purchase price.:upsidedow

Congrats Andy. You have to be happy.


Very much!!!

Today would have been my grandmother's 92nd birthday, she passed in 1995. Anyhow, my grandmother was the person who took me to see my first Disney movie "Mary Poppins" at the theatre in Philadelphia in 1964. She was also the person who helped get my mom, brother, Hazel and myself to WDW for the first time back in 1983.

Thanks Gram for looking out for me today......I got MOUSEBUMPS just thinking about it!!! My grandmother was also my mentor when I was growing up, I still miss her terribly........:sad1:

I have been to Disneyland only once, WDW only once, and DCL only once...

My family visited Disneyland in 1980 when I was 5 (I was a month away from being 6)....we also went to Knott's Berry farm, and some other LA attractions.

In January 1999, Pete and I spent a week at the Contemporary resort for our honeymoon....

And of course, in October 2007, we did our first DCL cruise!

Hey, that would be the "Dog" house then that weekend.

Mike, there is also a Subway, Cousins (subs) and a pizza place real close to where the reception is. I'm not going either, so if you stop here first, we could crash together.

By the way Mike, did you watch the movie Wedding Crashers? They were going there for the food or drinks. :rolleyes1

First trip to DL was in 1978, my grandmother went with us and made it a miserable trip, so miserable my dad and mom took us again in 79 and we stayed at the disneyland hotel.

First trip to WDW was in May of 99, for DH and my 10th anniversary (11/88)

First DCL was 2002 on a 3 day Wonder with my best friend and her DD and SDD

Does anyone else have the Passporter's Treasure Hunts book? It is pretty neat. If you would like I could start posting questions from the book about the Magic and Castaway Cay.

Glad that Mike and Robin's dog is feeling better:dogdance:

[millerpjm]

Jen that is just priceless!!!! :lovestruc He must have been plenty tuckered out!

And Jen, love that photo of Thomas! I'd have taken a photo like that too!
so cute!:thumbsup2

That was the only night we picked him up that he was asleep...I could tell he really played hard that day.

[Scouter]

Jen, I've dealt with a peeing cat for years.
I have read and tried all kinds of things, it was very difficult and I never could win that battle.

A****aka was my favorite kitty too. I actually paid money for him.
He was a purebred Snowshoe. Which is a breed related to Siamese.
My vet actually told me that most breeds related to Siamese are very high
strung and have 'ISSUES'!

I pulled all wood panels off walls in my home and took out all downstairs carpeting and put down Pergo floors because of him.

He was on amitriptaline (sp) antidepressant for kitties for awhile too, which helped but I hated how it changed his personality, so I stopped it.

I had 3 cat litter boxes going on 3 separate house levels so every cat, I had 3, could have a private space.

I had to clean the litter boxes at least twice a day or Ashi wouldn't go in them.

I bought Feliway spray..... supposed to calm kitties with the scent.
Didn't work very well either.

Even called a cat communicator..... waste of money too.

A few times he really did have bladder infections, but most of the time he just didn't like to use his box.

He totally ruined my old couch.

Sadly, he went out one evening..... something I RARELY let my cats do, too dangerous at night, and Ashi always wanted to go to bed with me on my pillow, but he begged me to go out late like 10pm in a light drizzly evening.

Never saw him again.

Ads in papers, posters put up around the neighborhood, calls to vets, shelters, etc. And Ashi was microchipped, so anyone finding him, even dead on the side of the road would scan him and they'd call me.
But nothing.

Neighbors had been talking of a coyote around the area, I think that's what happened.
He never would have gone away with a stranger because he was TERRIFIED of people.

I miss him so much.:sad1:


But truth told, I don't miss the peeing.

[Timon]

Robin, tons of pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: for you for that promotion :woohoo:

Lori, loved loved loved those childhood pics :goodvibes It's so cool to see pics from people's childhood in the Kingdom ::yes:: :wizard:

So, for those of you who did go when you were young, is that why you all have a love for Disney??? I have 4 siblings that we went with but I was the baby by 5 years so I wonder if it's because I was much younger that I was the only one who got bit by the Disney bug?? :confused3

I gotta sell those diaper cakes so I make sure my girl gets to go to WDW every year!! :rolleyes1 She needs to be a Disney girl too ::yes:: ;)

Karen, here's some :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: for you today!!!


Of course, Pete went to pick him up and I said, "wait! I want to get a picture first!"...I'm such a weird mom...:upsidedow

Hey Cass! How's the business going, by the way?

It's going good, only got one order so far though. I am working on getting the word out :thumbsup2 I figured it would take about 4-6 months to really start getting some business so I still have a long way to go. Thanks for asking :hug:

You must have loved your cat very much to do all that....

Now that I know it's not a health issue, I think I will just have to put down a second box. It's inconvenient, but we're not going to give up the cats. Elminster (he's my boy kitty and the prime suspect) is a cuddle cat. He loves to climb into your lap while you're sitting on the couch. Mara (girl kitty and the suspected upchucker) is more playful but also a cuddler. She's a Daddy's girl - she will climb up onto Pete's shoulders and literally lay across his shoulders. I have a picture of Pete with Mara across his shoulders and Elminster in his arms :lovestruc ....They'll both be 10 this year, so we'll just see how things go from here.

Now Dawg...you've got to learn your lesson some how, so........

I don't know if we asked this one before on the KK1 thread, but:

:tinker: When was your first Disney trip and where was it? :tinker:

(Feel free to post pictures unless you are wearing tube socks.) :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Mine was at Christmas in 1973 at Walt Disney World in Florida. I was at the Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day. It wasn't very busy either. :)

Ours was in 1989, two years after we got married. We did a 2 centre holiday - a week in Kissimmee and a week in Daytona. We made the fatal mistake of getting talking into buying Timeshare. We only recently managed to get rid of it...and had to give it to charity in the end. That's why we so sceptical of DVC.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd59/scrapper4/Picture436.jpg

We got to the Oceaneer's club one night to pick up Thomas, and they said his age group was over in the Lab. This is how we found him - sound asleep. Of course, Pete went to pick him up and I said, "wait! I want to get a picture first!"...I'm such a weird mom...:upsidedow



Not weird at all, I think that pic is priceless!!! :thumbsup2

Thanks Heather.........:goodvibes

Our first two cruises back in 2003 and 2004 were paid for with our DVC points. We sold our 350 BCV DVC points after the 2004 cruise to help get my mom to Florida and away from my violent step-father. Now that my mom is settled, Hazel and I decided to get back into DVC.

We did attend a couple of the DVC gatherings on our previous cruises and came away with some nice gifts......:)

Here is a pic of my first trip to Disney. It's not of me at a park but my mom says this is what I did the whole trip while saying "lookie"

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x220/goofyfreak/lori-1.jpg



This pic is of me, Tanya and our mom 2 years later at Disney.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x220/goofyfreak/loriandtanya.jpg

This is couple of years later. Don't you LOVE the socks?

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x220/goofyfreak/brerfox.jpg


I was almost five in that first pic. Lori did say "Lookie, Lookie, Lookie" the whole trip. Also, Mom couldn't ride anything good with me because Lori wouldn't have anything to do with Dad for some reason. princess:

The thing I remember most is free orange juice road stands. We drove down and stopped a few times in the orange grove areas.

That last pic was just after a summer haircut. On the trip, everyone thought I was a boy. Of course, it never dawned on me that part of the problem was the softball cap. I was not happy!

We loved going to WDW. Mom would plan some elaborate trip to Maine or Colorado and about a month before she would ask us what we wanted to do. We always said WDW and she and Dad would change plans.

My DH's first trip was after we were married four years and before kids. He was amazed, like taking a little kid. He loves WDW as much as I do. :woohoo:

[JLDSMD]

Dang! I was going to say that first!! :rotfl2:

I vaguely think there may be something on the side toward the front of the ship, but all the shots I have and have seen show nothing. And from a technical point of view, the HAND doesn't have any buttons. The sleeve may.

Now I'm doubting myself and want to say there are 3 on the sleeve facing the forward section of the ship.

[Verandah Man]

Good Night Peeps...........:wave2:

I have to go pick Lina up from musical practice, one week from tonight is Opening Night, they have had practice every night this week, and they have practice from 9-5 this Saturday.

Hmm not sure Jen but I know that the Michaels in Canada have different sales sometimes.

If you go here http://michaels.shoplocal.com/michaels/default.aspx?action=entry&pretailerid=-99855&siteid=237&adref=michaels&r=632628972511985621495195175&storeID=2415038 you can browse your local flyer and check to see what's on sale :thumbsup2

I typed in a store in Milwaukee just as a sample but you can pick your nearest store to see their flyer.

Nice pic Chris. Just what I want to see. Suz wants to do the canoe trip through the mongroves in Cartagena.

She just can't do a simple couple hour tour of the city. :sad2:

So not only do I have to get off the ship in Colombia, now she wants me to go off into the jungle. I'm dead I'm telling you. And to top it off, it will cost me over $300 for that excursion. :scared1:

Good evening everyone....

Well, we bought some shin guards for Thomas today - he has his very first soccer practice tomorrow! It should be fun - and the weather is supposed to cooperate also! I will definitelt bring my camera and post if I get any good pics. We came home, and I made tacos for dinner - yum!

I think it will be a "veg out" night....

[arielhead]

I had a unsettling experience this afternoon at Walmart. I was checking out when I thought I saw the person behind the mgr. station fall. I looked over and saw feet coming out from behind. At first I thought she had just fallen, but she was in convulsions. I alerted a very young cashier who started screaming for the other mgr. at the return counter. By this time we could see blood dripping at the woman's head. She must have hit something on her way down.

Several people started coming over, and I sent one to call 911. I asked the young men to move some of the furniture out of the way. When some people with two-ways who worked there came, I backed away. Two customers who I recognized as local nurses were also helping. The paramedics had arrived before I finished checking out. The woman was alert but very groggy when I left. The managers were questioning several people about how the woman had been feeling. I feel sure it was a seizure.

Of course, it all happened very quickly and DS was watching the whole thing. We talked about is on the way home.

Hi Jen, I thinks that's the kinds of evening it will be here. DS went to a friend's house. I think I'll watch America Gangsters.popcorn:: I love Denzel Washington movies.

That's awful, you poor girl!:hug:
Rest up and feel better soon.

[Scouter]

Whatever bug I have has moved from my head down into my chest. At least I can go back to bed now, the Fed Ex truck just made the delivery........:woohoo:

I trust everyone else that is under the weather starts feeling better soon!!! ;)

I've had this too.

Been 3 weeks now. I missed 3 1/2 days of work too.
Bad, bad cough finally lasting over 2 weeks finally brought me to the Dr.,
he said bronchitis and gave me strong antibiotic and cough syrup w/ codeine.
but I've heard lots of people with it and they say it's a virus.

In any case most people say it's lasting about 3 weeks.

So, take it easy Andy, you've got a few more weeks to go:sick:

[Tart Annihilator]

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes on the promotion. :goodvibes

I won't know for a little while. I did find out that "when" I get it, I may have to move to another building. If that's true, I'll miss our little family in Human Resources. Only 3 of us will be moving.

(I'll sacrifice for the money though.) ;) :rotfl2:

[Dyerneeds]

Lori, loved loved loved those childhood pics :goodvibes It's so cool to see pics from people's childhood in the Kingdom ::yes:: :wizard:

So, for those of you who did go when you were young, is that why you all have a love for Disney??? I have 4 siblings that we went with but I was the baby by 5 years so I wonder if it's because I was much younger that I was the only one who got bit by the Disney bug?? :confused3

I gotta sell those diaper cakes so I make sure my girl gets to go to WDW every year!! :rolleyes1 She needs to be a Disney girl too ::yes:: ;)


YES!!!sell more cakes. addison needs a buddy her age on wdw trips.:cheer2:

we didnt get to go when we were young, but there must be something to that theory because both of ours went ALL the time and are both HOOKED for life. :grouphug:

[Dyerneeds]

Ours was in 1989, two years after we got married. We did a 2 centre holiday - a week in Kissimmee and a week in Daytona. We made the fatal mistake of getting talking into buying Timeshare. We only recently managed to get rid of it...and had to give it to charity in the end. That's why we so sceptical of DVC.



back in the 80's robin and i took a tour of those florida timeshares.
very high pressure, but we didnt buy. it was a very bad experience.
:headache: :headache:
thats one of the resaons we never looked into the dvc. but everyone that has a dvc seems to be really happy with it.

[Dyerneeds]

want me to call cinnamon over and the three of us could make a nite of it??

[JLDSMD]

Good luck with that! I'm not sure that's the excursion I'd pick :scared1: :scared1:

It's not really the jungle, just a canoe ride through the mongroves. Here is the description:

Mangroves, Show and Lunch
Wind your way through a lush landscape of mangroves during a canoe tour of Cienaga De la Virgen and withdraw to Las Americas Resort where a hearty lunch and a folklore show awaits.

Sit back and surrender to the sprawling natural splendor of Cartagena as you embark on a 30-minute, air-conditioned motor coach drive — past a spectacular seaside panorama of sand and surf — to the beachside, Caribbean-inspired Las Americas Hotel and Resort. During your scenic trip, discover the fascinating history of the region from your friendly guide, and marvel at the breathtaking views that surround you at every turn. Upon your arrival, board your canoe and then embark on a remarkable guided adventure amidst the calm mangroves and still swamp waters of the Cienaga De la Virgen, considered to be the most important eco-system in Cartagena.

During your expedition amidst the unspoiled surroundings of Cienaga De la Virgen, lose yourself to the serenity of the calm water and secluded coastline as your guide paddles you through a number of shady mangrove tunnels. Revel in the natural beauty as you breathe in the sweet fragrances and marvel at the fantastic foliage that surrounds you everywhere you look. Glide around cool canopied bends as the warm tropical breezes wash over in every direction, and learn about the spectacular flora and fauna — some exclusively indigenous to this region — from your guide. Watch for birds as they soar high and then dive in the sky, and gaze down to the still water beneath you to spy a curious crustacean or colorful fish.

After your hour-long journey, return to Las Americas Hotel and Resort, where you are invited to savor the flavor of a refreshing beverage and a hearty buffet-style lunch, and enjoy the day as you so desire. Sunbathe on a warm sandy beach and drift off to the soothing sounds of the breaking waves or make a splash in one of three resort pools. Then, enjoy a traditional folklore show celebrating the history and culture of Cartagena in song and dance. Finally, after your near three-and-a-half hour resort visit, gaze upon the picturesque sights once more as you begin your 30-minute return trip — passing through the historic walled city — back to the ship.
