10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread #20!

[JLDSMD]

This is Thread #20 of the BOB threads. Over 73,000 posts and still going strong.

If you're new to our group, you're not alone. Several of us have sailed together before (on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise - a.k.a. Konked Kruisers) and several more are new. To indicate the ones new to the group, we have put an * infront of their DIS name.

The following is the same as the other first posts. For those of you new to our DIS Meet thread - WELCOME. There is plenty of good info in this post.

As usual, I'll be back here to update this post periodically. I will try to keep important information up here for all to reference as well as for all our new friends who come to cruise with us. If something of importance comes up, PM me and I will add the link.

We have dubbed this cruise "The Bash on the Boat" because so many people are celebrating birthdays or anniversaries on this cruise. You will also see "KK2" in the title. As you will read, many of us just sailed together on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise. So, with many of us returning here, we are dubbing this KK2. For those of you who didn't sail with us, please don't feel that you are not part of the group. We are a very open and welcoming/friendly bunch. We had such a great cruise last time, but feel it will be even better this time. Come along and enjoy the fun. We will get off-topic many times over the next 2 years, but it is a great way to get to know everyone.

Incase anyone is wondering what the FO game we play here on the B.O.B. cruise meets thread, he is the explanation:

FO is a game (for lack of a better description) that was started on the Konked Kruiser thread that some of us belonged to for the October 07 cruise. Don't ask me who started it or how.

Anyway, the game in a nutshell....if you post, and your post is the beginning of a page, then you try to get the second post on the page also. It means you have started a "Fresh One" or "First One" (I forget what the actual term was).

Now, this isn't always as easy as it seems - if there are multiple posters on at the same time, and someone else gets the second post, you don't get to "claim the FO". The 40 second rule between postings comes into play.

[JLDSMD]

How about an FO to start the new thead?

[JLDSMD]

Oh, and don't post here until #19 is finished.

I just got it started because you guys will probably finish #19 while I'm sleeping. ;)

And your photo with Chuck at the wedding.

Mike and Robin, loved your vacation photos and the clip of Brady and Addison.
Very sweet.
Why is Brady chewing his shoe?:confused3 Haven't you bought him any good toys?:rotfl:
I've seen your high school pic together before, you guys were so cute.
Robin looks like she's so much younger than you Mike.

Steve and Laura, awesome wedding photo! Wow!


And Karen,
so sorry to hear about Ellis' school issue. that really stinks.
I've had similar problems with Sean and school, so glad that stuff is over.
Hugs to Ellis:hug:

Nancy and I just got back from our grandsons last hockey game of the season. We left home this morning around 7:00AM and drove to Rockland which about one hour up the Coast. We jut got back about 30 min ago.
It was such a nice day on the way back we stopped at a Dairy Queen and had a ice cream.
I see we have a new thread.

Hmm, you know Jeff, you brought up a very good point about the cruise possibly being diverted :idea:

We should all prepare back-up plans for the Western just in case we do get diverted. When we cruised in 2005 and got diverted, I was so lost, I had no idea what to do because we planned on the Western itinerary not the Eastern! :scared:

This time I am doing some research on what we would do if we make it to the Western just in case :thumbsup2

Mine's simple:

Key West - Stay on ship unless we need something from the store for the room (although I'm sure Suz will want Key Lime pie).

Grand Cayman - cab up to Public Beach on Seven Mile Beach (I think Karen will agree and come along on that one :thumbsup2 )

Cozumel - if it is not windier than heck like last time, probably Chakanaab (sp?)

We will NOT do any DCL excursions if it is a Western.

Mike, have you ever been on an Eastern?

[Dyerneeds]

Mike, have you ever been on an Eastern?

yep. the 2005 was supposed to be western but we got diverted to eastern because of hurricane wilma.

[Dee73]

really?? our 2005 cruise got diverted too.:rolleyes1
small world eh?:rolleyes1

Our 2004 western was cut short by 2 days, diverted and no Castaway Cay due to a hurricane (end of September). My parents are just about to arrive and they were on the Jan.31/09 Eastern with St. Croix. Anything you want me to ask them??? They are bringing menus & navigators that I asked them to collect since we didn't get to go. I'm getting hungry & I haven't even seen them yet.

[JLDSMD]

Eastern is much better anyways.

first cruise we took, they teased us with CC all day. kept floating back and forth hoping the winds would die down, but they didnt.:headache:

we wanted to jump ship just so we could experience the island.:idea: :idea:

Did they load the ship up right away then with the next group or did yours start late?

I think I remember that one. The one before you went really long, made the first stop ever at Costa Maya. The audit manager on our account was on that cruise. His wife and one son got off in Galveston and he and the other son stayed on until they got back to FLL.

You know, out of all our cruises, we've never missed Castaway Cay.

[Dyerneeds]

Eastern is much better anyways.

it really doesnt matter to us. we just wanted to be on that ship.:love:

we're thinking of skipping excursions this time just to hang around the ship more. we'll see. :hug:

We are only planning on Trunk Bay this time for excursions. We'll do St. Maarten on our own like last time.

We actually stayed on the ship in Puerto Vallarta on the Repo. That was the first time we ever did that. We had the ship to ourselves.

When the rain started at 4:00, we got off and went ashore to the Wal-Mart for some supplies and got back on.

We originally thought of going to a nearby hotel and using their pool and stuff, but figured why? We'd pay $100 to go there (get it back in food and drink). The pools and restaurants on the ship were dead and the drinks much cheaper. It was the most relaxing day.

That is the one good thing about an Eastern, you get that extra sea day. :thumbsup2

We were already at the port and could see the ship ... but they left without us.:headache: We were evacuated to Orlando for 2 days and then bussed to Fort Lauderdale where we were finally allowed to get on two days late:banana: Other than being too short, it was heaven on earth once we got on board. We got a large on-board credit, a big rebate on the cruise and the option of rebooking another at 50% off in the next year ... something we weren't able to do at the time. :guilty:

[Dee73]

You know, out of all our cruises, we've never missed Castaway Cay.

I'm hoping we'll get there this time. How many cruises have you done so far?

[Dee73]

How many FO?

[Dee73]

Okay ... I killed it again. And I showered :confused3 I guess I'll go watch my husband kids play the Wii until my parents arrive.

[dizneycrazy4]

Thanks Nancy for the bread crumbs, I have found you guys. I was so far behind on the last thread, but can't promise I'll keep up any better this time.

I would do the Key West island tram tour again for sure. I would take all the pictures I took last time. This time I will make sure Lynn does not delect my memory card that had the Key West and Grand Cayman pics. :rotfl2:

Hey Matthew, things going well?

[EPCOT_VA]

Hey Matthew, things going well?

Yes, it was a very busy winter. That's why I've been absent for a while. I need to update my timers. WDW for July 4th and our cruise is finally within sight. October doesn't seem that far away now that we can make airline ressies. I'm still watching prices. I might pull the trigger and buy the JetBlue $99 fare for the trip down on 10/23.

That sounds like a deal. I am holding out for Southwest before pulling the trigger on anything else, but if I see a remarkable fare from BDL or PVD, I am going to swoop in. I missed a $199 Delta fare this week from BDL. Its now back to $374.

The $99 is each way from Washington Dulles to Orlando. Last week, JetBlue ran a one day sale for $49 each way. Of course, travel had to be March 10th through March 31st on a Tue, Wed, Sat or a night with a full moon. Oh, and the flight time had to be inconvenient. I came VERY close to making a two or three day trip to Florida. (By myself though, not nearly as fun as taking somebody along... Like my tinkerbellrn :yay: ) Of course, then who would watch the kids? :rolleyes1 Now you know why I didn't go. :sad2:

Wow, sounds very similar to our plan, except add a trip to Kino for sandals ;)

really?? our 2005 cruise got diverted too.:rolleyes1
small world eh?:rolleyes1

We met some lovely people on that cruise ;)

[captchris]

Mine's simple:

Key West - Stay on ship unless we need something from the store for the room (although I'm sure Suz will want Key Lime pie).

Grand Cayman - cab up to Public Beach on Seven Mile Beach (I think Karen will agree and come along on that one :thumbsup2 )

Cozumel - if it is not windier than heck like last time, probably Chakanaab (sp?)

I would plan for the same, except in Cozumel, head to Paradise Beach.

We have done both

three westerns one DCL, one RCCL and One DCl w/ Costa Maya.

We have done the jeep ride in COzmel- DH & DS # 2 loved, DS # 1 and I went to Mr Santos- juat a beach, on RCCL we went and did a snuba dive, it was fabulous, every one from 9-60 could so it with no dive experience, the last DCL we did the Fury catamaran- lost of fun- no kids, snorkling not that great, but the boat ride and the partying were!!!! I am glad my kids were not here because we drank too much, and I don't want my kids to ever see me being that silly....

Grand Caymen- both times did Stingray city- fun with the kids, don't think I would go with out, once you have done it. Took a taxi to Hell- that was interesting.

Key west- walked around and went snorkling.

Costa Maya is beautiful, not as commercial reminded me of Guam.

[JOANNEL]

Has any one heard from Andy? His last post did not sound good.

[JOANNEL]

We did an Eastern in 04.

Trunk Bay is beautiful, long travel time, but so worth it.

St Maarten we went on the Eagle snorkle. It was fun. Except for the clothing optional beach---- teen age boys got an eye full!!!

We did the stingrays the first trip to Grand Cayman (Jan '07). We did Seven Mile Beach after that (right at the gray hotel - I think it was the Hyatt or something).

When we went back in Oct '07, we just wanted the beach because it was just beautiful. I looked online and everyone was saying to just take a cab to Public Beach which is on Seven Mile. Karen, Neil and Ellis came with. There were facilities and restaurants right there.

As for Cozumel, wed did Mr. Sancho's (or the one on the other side of the point there) in Jan '07. When we got there in Oct '07, it was really windy and the waves were crashing up on the walk way in town.

Here is a picture Andy captured for me that day:

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m153/JLDSMD/MagicinCozon10-10-07.jpg

You can see how grey it looked. You can't see the waves, but they were bad. I think almost every water excursion got cancelled that day. We walked around town a bit, stop at Pancho's Backyard (always stop there when we go), and then back to the ship.

When we went to Playa in '04 for Suz' 40th, we went over to Chakanaab (sp?). We really like it there. We saw the snuba people right under me while I was snorkeling. The guide probably pointed out the whale swimming overhead. :rotfl:

Guess we know what excursion Dawg is signing up for. :lmao:

We did the St. John Island Tour our second time on the Eastern. It was really beautiful, but we saw the beaches and wished we were there. The ride over wasn't too bad. The first time we were on an Eastern, it was so rough, none of the St. John excursions went.

I do, however, have one of the Southernmost Point with some stangers in it. I couldn't make my family wait in that long long line after I made them walk all the way down there! :rotfl2: I felt a lot of heat on my neck that day and it wasn't because it was so stinkin' hot either. :scared1:

I don't think Cozumel had one??? They had the sign for the mall but that's the only one I remember seeing.

I knew that if I had walked down there, I would be the crabby one so I nixed that idea, even though I really wanted a pic of that sign with us in it :rolleyes1

Great scrap book, Cass, you should give lessons to us computer dummies!!

Long time no hear....I know. :blush: I frequently lurk, but I cannot keep up with you guys! popcorn::

Our planning is coming right along. We've got our Treehouse booked for the pre-stay, our airfare is booked (although we didn't get the great Jet Blue deal! Still, 1/2 the price it was last year is good with me! :banana: ). Got my FE a couple of weeks ago and I'm just trying to get in creative mode for my give-aways!

I hope everyone has a great week ahead!

[disgrits]

I was just reading back on thread #19 (I can't keep up), and saw this post by Nancy:

Still listening to that station Mike. Mine and Chuck's wedding song is on right now. Can't help falling in love by Elvis.

That was our wedding song, too, Nancy. Great romatics think alike, eh, sistah?:lovestruc

[disgrits]

I am so keyed up today about this cruise. I booked the REAS package for Rob and me. We have never been away from our kids for a vacation, so I am treating this as a second honeymoon--our first honeymoon was cut short, too. So all the more reason for romance, right?:thumbsup2

[disgrits]

Well, I guess I'm off to bed. I need to try harder to check in more. I missed the 70's pics of Nancy/Chuck & Mike/Robin, and the can of whoop@ss being opened up on Ellis' teacher, and all the other stuff that's been going on with y'all. I hope everyone is doing well and doesn't need any hugs, but if you do, consider yourself :hug: by me.

Y'all have a great week!:goodvibes

Hmm, you know Jeff, you brought up a very good point about the cruise possibly being diverted :idea:

We should all prepare back-up plans for the Western just in case we do get diverted. When we cruised in 2005 and got diverted, I was so lost, I had no idea what to do because we planned on the Western itinerary not the Eastern! :scared:

This time I am doing some research on what we would do if we make it to the Western just in case :thumbsup2

Yep, I got plans for an emergency Western... Stay on the ship! I love those days when you have the ship to yourself.

Mine's simple:

Key West - Stay on ship unless we need something from the store for the room (although I'm sure Suz will want Key Lime pie).

Grand Cayman - cab up to Public Beach on Seven Mile Beach (I think Karen will agree and come along on that one :thumbsup2 )

Cozumel - if it is not windier than heck like last time, probably Chakanaab (sp?)

We will NOT do any DCL excursions if it is a Western.

Those that went on the Pirate cruise on GC seemed to have a great time. I might be pursuaded to do that but afterward back on the boat!

That Cozumel day was a bear! Chakanaab sounds fun.

Steve, you look just like a guy that I work with at my office. :lmao:

You don't have an alias name of Curt, do you?

Matthew

:rotfl: Not me. Actually as I looked at that pic, I was thinking that I looked a bit like that dude from CSI


Cass, I'm loving the scrapbooks! They are all fantastic. I'll have to show them to Laura. You have a great talent!

I am so keyed up today about this cruise. I booked the REAS package for Rob and me. We have never been away from our kids for a vacation, so I am treating this as a second honeymoon--our first honeymoon was cut short, too. So all the more reason for romance, right?:thumbsup2

When I see the counters in the single digits and see that we are only a hair away from 6mos I get pretty jazzed too!

[EPCOT_VA]

Ok...I have done 17 so far but I think you guys have seen the first 8 of these already....so, sorry if these are repeats...

Hi All....:wave:

Just wanted to pop in and say "Hi" this morning.

Yesterday was just a bad day from the moment I woke up until I went to bed. Won't go into details, but today is a new day, with a new start. :)

Without my laptop, I probably won't be online as much, at least not until it is fixed (if that is possible) or I get a new one. Hazel and I are now sharing the desktop in the livingroom for now.

Have a good day all..........:wave2:

[Verandah Man]

Oh yeah, I was going to post Hazel's Senior Yearbook pic in all the madness the other night but didn't get to it. Here is it now.

Not sure if my last post showed up as I can't see it when I bring the thread back up. The craziness continues I guess.........:rotfl:

OK, there it is now, and a FO to boot!!! :lmao:

[cntkg1]

Wow, Cass! :worship: You are so talented! Your layouts are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!


Long time no hear....I know. :blush: I frequently lurk, but I cannot keep up with you guys! popcorn::

Our planning is coming right along. We've got our Treehouse booked for the pre-stay, our airfare is booked (although we didn't get the great Jet Blue deal! Still, 1/2 the price it was last year is good with me! :banana: ). Got my FE a couple of weeks ago and I'm just trying to get in creative mode for my give-aways!

I hope everyone has a great week ahead!

Hiya Sheri :wave: I was just asking about you this weekend. Nice to see you stopping in. Stop by more often. :goodvibes

I was just reading back on thread #19 (I can't keep up), and saw this post by Nancy:

Still listening to that station Mike. Mine and Chuck's wedding song is on right now. Can't help falling in love by Elvis.

That was our wedding song, too, Nancy. Great romatics think alike, eh, sistah?:lovestruc

Everytime I hear that song I get all goosebumply. :cutie:

I am so keyed up today about this cruise. I booked the REAS package for Rob and me. We have never been away from our kids for a vacation, so I am treating this as a second honeymoon--our first honeymoon was cut short, too. So all the more reason for romance, right?:thumbsup2

Good morning everyone. Today I have an all day seminar. It will basically being each department at our headquarters telling us to do this, don't do this, these policies are changing, etc. I will be reading stuff all day on my BlackBerry to pass the time.

Cass, those are great layouts! I am very ignorant on scrapbooking, but those look very well done. With that, its possible for a few pictures to tell the story for an entire day.

Good to hear you are doing better today. We all have days like this. Right now, Elaine and I are sharing a computer which is why I don't get on at night too much. I can't wait until my work laptop gets fixed! Come on IT guys, its just a DVD drive replacement, memory upgrade and software upgrades!!!!

[captchris]

Question of the Day:

What is your favorite port? New Cruisers: Which port are you most looking forward to?

My answer: Grand Cayman!!:banana:
I would have to say Castaway Cay. That was a most enjoyable day for us last cruise. Although, as far as "regular" ports, Grand Cayman has been my favorite so far. However, I am looking forward to St. John and Trunk Bay on the Eastern side. :thumbsup2

[danandnan]

Chris did you get in touch wit your Mom and Dad ref the Jet Blue flights out of Portland?

Lina went to the massge therapy school meeting last night and got signed up for the next class that will be starting. The only problem I see at this moment, and I'm holding my breath on this one, her graduation could possibly take place the last week of "October 2009"........:eek: :eek: :eek:


OK, just had a hot bowl of oatmeal, now it's time to get back on the road. I have a ton of curb meters to read today that I couldn't get done last week because of all the sn*w we had.

FAVORITE PORT - Castaway Cay (Of course, I've only been there and Nassau so it wasn't much of a contest.)

[Karen Mouse]

Grand Cayman - cab up to Public Beach on Seven Mile Beach (I think Karen will agree and come along on that one :thumbsup2 )

I LOVED that beach:cloud9: ... I could have stayed there forever. That taxi came too soon to take me away

Pffffft. :rotfl:

Not commenting on THAT again. :rolleyes: :rotfl2:

I got a phone call this morning from one of our salesmen and he cleaned out his desk, left a one line letter of resignation and has opened his own business. I don't think it'll be long until the rest follow suit. I sure hope one of them takes me along. :banana:

Fingers crossed Nancy:thumbsup2

Glad you're back Andy. I'm not sure what all you do with your laptop. Most of my computing and gaming is done with my desktop and my laptop is mostly internet access from convienent places. And up until recently it was too heavy and bulky even for that. But I just bought a new "netbook" that I have fallen in love with. Cheap, powerful (enough for what I need it for), lightweight with long battery life. You should look into one if your laptop is dead and it's not your primary computer.

I use my laptop for just about everything. In fact, I had just finished helping a friend design her wedding invitations on Saturday night. Spent three weeks doing this project, she gave me the go ahead to start printing them off yesterday morning, that was about 10 minutes before the laptop died. I can't even get the thing to turn on now. I had to call my friend and tell her the sad news yesterday that the invitations are lost. Good thing her wedding isn't until May 16th.

Andy,
I'm not sure what happened to the laptop, but I'm guessing that it is either a Motherboard problem (Bad) or a power supply problem (not so bad) Either way your Hard Drive should be intact. Meaning that the Invitations are still there just inaccessible. If you have a Hard Drive problem (meaning all is lost) then it would at least attempt to boot up and then fail. Since you are not powering up then all is not lost. If you know someone with the same laptop, you could do a brain transplant. (move the HD from your machine to theirs and then boot to your HD and move all your important files to an external HD) If not, then when you get a new laptop, remove the HD from the dead laptop then place it in an external enclosure with a USB plug and plug it into the new laptop as a secondary HD then move your files. Have the battery and powersupply checked out first to make sure that it is not your problem as it is an easy fix. Motherboard is a different story altogether and the laptop is too expensive to fix.

Wow, that makes it sound more encouraging. Will have to check that out after we get back from vacation. Thanks for the tip Steve!!! :thumbsup2

After work today I have an appt to get the yearly x-rays done on my knees. I see my surgeon right after we get back from vacation and I have to get these x-rays done before we leave. Always something, isn't it? :laughing:

Well, I've caught up on this thread, but it looks like I missed over 60 pages on the last one. WOW! I'm always missing the post frenzies!

Last weekend we went to the Kalahari resort in WI Dells - it's a big waterpark resort. We went with Pete's parents, Pete's sister, brother-in-law, and their 2 kids. The boys had a blast!

I, however, had a very emotional and stressful weekend...Pete and I went to do a waterslide and left one of the family to watch Thomas - when we came back he and cousin Andrew were MISSING! They were found in very short order, but needless to say, Pete or I was with him the rest of the weekend.

I was also yelled at by SIL - I don't even want to go into the whole story but I am now more worried than ever that they are travelling with us. I have been looking forward to this cruise since the minute we stepped off the last one!

Castaway Cay would have to be number one but I think CC is in it's own category and can't be compared to the rest. So then my choice would be Grand Cayman too :goodvibes

It was funny, last night they met us for dinner after the day at Panama City Beach, He is only 20 so he had a big NO on each hand. They had a ball, they were puked on, saw a 400lb guy in a speedo. I am just glad one of them was the DD. I want to be the little angel on the shoulder that keep whispering in his ear..

Don't worry you have done a great job with them and they have that nagging voice in their heads that they can not get out that will make them behave.:rolleyes1 I still hear that voice every once in a while although after 47 years I am getting better at ignoring my mother's nagging.:yay:

Well, I guess I'm off to bed. I need to try harder to check in more. I missed the 70's pics of Nancy/Chuck & Mike/Robin, and the can of whoop@ss being opened up on Ellis' teacher, and all the other stuff that's been going on with y'all. I hope everyone is doing well and doesn't need any hugs, but if you do, consider yourself :hug: by me.

Y'all have a great week!:goodvibes

I missed all of that too. I guess I will have to go back and see what all I missed.:surfweb:

Well, I am back from my seminar. About an hour before I left, the rain changed to snow, so it is snowing very large snow flakes right now. It isn't really sticking, but that could change when the sun goes down.
Chris did you get in touch wit your Mom and Dad ref the Jet Blue flights out of Portland?

Dan
Yes I did. I think they are going to wait until November opens up before making any final decision.

Hi Rose:banana: how are the men in your life?

They're men, what can I say:rolleyes: :rolleyes1


Sean is good. Doesn't say too much about college. Doesn't leave his dorm too much other than to eat and go to classes.
He's in florida!:beach: Hello!
Nope, not for him!:sad2:
Or his 3 roomates for that matter. None of them do much else than stay inside, being antisocial and watching tv, playing video games or something or other on the computer.
(1 boy is involved with ROTC, some republican group and is a born again type Christian, so he does get out more than the others but they usually don't talk much with each other)

So hard to get ahold of Sean sometimes, he knows I'm calling and sometimes just doesn't want to be bugged so won't answer his phone (I know because he's told me)

But he's doing ok. Grades are about a B average so far, so no worries anyhow.
And believe me ...... these boys are all far from getting into any trouble
no drinking, no smoking, no drugs (well, one boy is from the Cayman Islands, so he's told Sean he's dabbled..... but not since he's been in FL)
none of these boys even has a girlfriend!
:surfweb: :surfweb: :surfweb: :surfweb: :surfweb: :surfweb: :surfweb:
This is mostly all they do.

Anyway I don't have to worry about him.


Bob is sadly still working the night shift, waiting for a day job to open up, hopefully before the end of this year.
It would be nice for us to be on the same schedule:)

We're still thinking about what we might do in the future.
Buy a house together here or start thinking of transferring to another state.
Both of us would like to move some day.
So things are up in the air.

How's your guys?
And cute little Mackenzie? Bet she's getting much bigger than I remember.


Here's a toast to you guys:

Favorite port is Castaway Cay without a doubt!!! :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes


Lina went to the massge therapy school meeting last night and got signed up for the next class that will be starting. The only problem I see at this moment, and I'm holding my breath on this one, her graduation could possibly take place the last week of "October 2009"........:eek: :eek: :eek:




Wow, Andy, good for Angelina:cheer2:

Wow, a picture of Chris when he was skinny. :lmao:

[JLDSMD]

Hi Rose. How are your?

Did you get the case of Diet Coke I sent you. ;) :rotfl:

[Scouter]

Glad you're back Andy. I'm not sure what all you do with your laptop. Most of my computing and gaming is done with my desktop and my laptop is mostly internet access from convienent places. And up until recently it was too heavy and bulky even for that. But I just bought a new "netbook" that I have fallen in love with. Cheap, powerful (enough for what I need it for), lightweight with long battery life. You should look into one if your laptop is dead and it's not your primary computer.

Steve, that is how Sean is too.
He also has one of those ASUS laptops. A different model though.
His only does Linux. But he's a Linux freak.
He just went on spring break vacation to his cousins' home in Santa Ana CA.
Everyone was working and in school during the day so Sean just had to go and tweak everyone's computer and added Linux to his male cousin's computer so he could be "cool"
(he put it on my computer during Christmas break but I haven't used it yet)

Sean is always shopping on Newegg.

He just recently built yet another new computer. This one he put a water cooling system in.

He said: NEVER AGAIN!:headache: :headache: :headache:
He said that was so difficult and it doesn't work so well for all it's trouble he's still using 8 fans besides.

But he said it was a lesson well learned.

[goofyfreak]

Castaway Cay would have to be number one but I think CC is in it's own category and can't be compared to the rest. So then my choice would be Grand Cayman too :goodvibes



Good for you Karen!!! :thumbsup2 :cool1:




Yeah, you guys are in a lot of my pics ;) :woohoo:
Same here. And I like it that way.:goodvibes

[Scouter]

d.

I was also yelled at by SIL - I don't even want to go into the whole story but I am now more worried than ever that they are travelling with us. I have been looking forward to this cruise since the minute we stepped off the last one!
