July 18 2009 Tortola - Part 2!

[Dizzyworld]

It used to be that you had to make the reservations at 3 AM EST, but they changed that last year. Now it is midnight EST. Last year when I made our reservations it was one of the rare times when both ships were departing on the same day. The Wonder from PC and the Magic starting the return trip from the west coast. There were a lot of returning passengers fighting the web site to make reservations. It was crazy!

I interrupt our photo tag to share this photo from a few minutes ago - You can't see our sidewalk, it's up past the trees, sidewalk, and the neighbor's side foundation across the street and it's still coming down hard. A car passed with the water up to its wheel wells. We watched a neighbor's garbage bag sail down the street. This is a spring rain - it's not even tropical storm/hurricane season. I don't think we're behind on this season's rain anymore

(Although, bonus points to anyone who can link this photo...)

Love the community pool! Reminds me of the lazy river pools. WOW!

OK so, then I'm not crazy for remembering 3am! Thanks!

OMG! I forgot tonight was the night!! How could I forget?! Got our new Passporter in the mail today too- great timing!!

Noah's team lost by 2 but it was their 1st game and they played against a team that has been around for awhile. Noah had a great 3rd period with no goals, just saves He's the goalie.

We are going to The Baths in Tortola, in St. Thomas DH is going golfing and Noah and I are going to do Sea Trek.

First CruiseMeet
Thursday, July 14, 4:30 pm
Saratoga Springs Resort - Turf Club Bar & Grill
---followed by---
Downtown Disney Marketplace - Earl of Sandwich
For all who are interested in meeting other cruisers, a group will be gathering at the SSR Turf Club for drinks and chatting. Then while some head off to dinner reservations or other plans, the rest are invited to boat across the lake to DTD and enjoy the great (I hear) food at the Earl of Sandwich (look here for the menu: http://allears.net/menu/menu_eofs.htm).

I think there's a problem with this meet - The 14th is Tuesday. Thursday is the 16th. OR it's one LOOONNNNGGGG meet.

Going with the water in the water slide photo. This is a picture of Grills Restaurant at Sail Away (notice the mickey hands...) I'm really not getting much done in the kitchen - plus, the Cubs game is on....

What's the sport? Hockey or soccer?

Nice, both ships in at the same time, too?

Where does the other dock let people off at?

I didn't know they could both be at CC on the same day. The beach must have been CROWDED!

I borrowed this photo from a fellow cruiser on our 2006 cruise. It's the closest, I'll ever come to parasailing. Virgil, is it yours or Stacey's? I have it as my screen saver.

 

[mickeymo]

hmm, who else is going to post today?

What? You don't want to hang out with us for 48 hours straight???

The rain is finally slowing down...

You can send some our way. We got a short shower last week - but probably won't get any more for another month or two.
