BTW - Where's JoAnn#1 lately???? :confused3

She hasn't been posting much since she got back and I'm dying to read her trip reports on the VI ports. :worship:
 


I'm heading to Washington for a conference in a couple weeks. I also get to visit my parents while there. It'll be my first trip out of Africa since last July. Unfortunately, I won't be able to bring the family. Of course, Joann#2 already had her trip to Germany, so don't worry about her.

Yeah - Don't worry about me, I just have to single-handedly get ready for our moving sale - which is May 8-9. DH will conveniently miss that. :rolleyes1 Of course, I'm working full-time and have three kids at home - but I'm superwoman so it's all good. :cool2:

Well, it sounds like you have a lot going on.......GL with all that!:hug:
 
Did anyone notice the wait time is up to 40 seconds...

Does that mean you have to wait 40 seconds before posting again? We never have to worry about that. It takes about 2 minutes just to load a page sometimes.
 
For Tortola we are going to book the dolphin encounter - the girls really want to pet the dolphins. But we may end up canceling if we can't get Flounders ressies for the baby. She'd love to go and see, but DCL won't let her go as an observer without an adult and won't let DH and I switch off with the older girls. :confused3

We had decided to book it on our own, but evidently DCL has signed a contract with the company that they cannot book DCL passengers separately. So we are stuck. It certainly makes business sense for Disney to do it that way - but it stinks for us.

The tour is only 2.5 hours, so we are debating what else we might try and do. Don't know if there are other tour options - would love to see the island and maybe a beach for a short swim - but not sure if we can do two tours or not.

In St. Thomas, I am anxiously awaiting JoAnn's full report to decide if we can manage to do something on our own or if we should just take the DCL tour to Magen's Bay. We really wanted to go to St. John's Trunk Bay - but DCL won't take kids under 5 - can't understand why. :confused3

DH and I were mapping out our schedule to make sure that we request all the ressies we need tomorrow.

I hope I'm not a bad mom - we're already up to 16 hours of Flounders!!! :scared1::scared1: (Which I know we will probably not be able to reserve all of them before we board, so I'll be racing to the Lounge to get more time.)

We had planned an afternoon at Serenity Bay - but Flounders is closed in the afternoon - so we are having to switch to the morning.

And of course, we have to figure in the DIS Meet, the Castaway Club meet, Palo group brunch, and all the shows!!!! I'm trying not to overplan - but there's so much we want to do!!!!!:thumbsup2

I think DH will sleep with his laptop tonight and set the alarm for 3:45 so that he can be online at 4am to make all these ressies!

Did I tell you all - we got the girls' ressies for BBB??? They were thrilled when I told them. I just hope the plane is on time - otherwise we'll have trouble making the appointment. :scared:

Oh and I tried on my formal gown and IT FITS :banana::banana::banana::banana:. I had it made before DD7 was born - floor-length navy chiffon. It's my favorite dress. But I haven't worn it for almost 6 years!!!!!

Okay - definitely rambling now...Just tell me to be quiet - I can do it if I set my mind to it! :rotfl2::lmao:

I'm so glad you asked! I'll be going out for a little while but either tonight or tomorrow, I'll tell you what we did and what I want to try to do on this trip!:banana:

Yea, that was the message I was getting every time I hit submit, it used to be 30 minutes.
