Lynda, what are you doing up at this time of night. Keeping me company , no doubt. Hi Cash. You don't leave home without him. Double entendre.....joke. Well, I don't really care for much in the excursion list. Kristen wanted to horseback ride, but the Disney excursions don't allow a nine year old to go. I sent an email to Randi in Mazatlan and am awaiting the results. Curacao, duh, Acapulco,,nada,,,,, Mazatlan,,,, awaiting and ta da Cabo , who knows.....so short anyway. Okay, Lynda, guide me as I am up and anxious but not sure why.
Bill :confused3
 
So far I've been able to find one casino that is approximately a 5-10 minute walk from the ship in Curacao

Its the Curacao Plaza casino (no relation to The Plaza NY lol) There are actually 9 casinos in Curacao but I think most of them are nearer the resort/Beach areas, this is the only one I have found so far that is near the harbour. I can't seem to find decent maps anywhere online, may have to break down and actually buy one .... yuck

I think that this one will work out for us since casinos in Curacao don't open till 2 pm so that should give us about 2 hours for hubby to hopefully win enough to pay for my spa treatments..... or at least a nice piece of jewelry at the next port .....
and not enough time for him to lose it back !!

Well, here goes...Cabo..ick! I spent a hot, boring week there (mostly boring...except for the dinner cruise that I started out on by knocking the boat captain into the harbor) and the dive excursion that I had to be ...well, never mind...pretty fish, anyway...and the snorkeling trip during which I washed up onto the beach and, it being sand, and all, couldn't get my footing and washed back down the beach, then up the beach, down the beach, up the beach ....it was hilarious...lucky I didn't drown...was saved, at last, by a passing fisherman, his wife and a friend that I went on the trip with...She was laughing the hardest...I could have killed her....very funny...Anyway..I can't go to Cabo...It is a tender port and they can't tenderize my scooter...:rotfl:

I want to see the cliff divers in Acapulco. Do the city tour in Mazatlan, although I know from experience that the scooter will not fit on the bus and I'm NOT going to expose Cash to the nasty stray dogs that roam the streets by going on foot... so no shopping. I'd like to go horseback riding, too but, well...not, I think in Mexico and not without my dog and not with him, either...To tell you the bare truth I doubt that there is much of anything that I'll be doing off-ship...BUT I'm willing to give anything the ol' college try...I'll have to negotiate with DCL...and they KNOW what a pain I can be...
Who, me?
:flower:
 
I found some great (gift) boxes on sale at Kirklands. They were 99 cents. Dunno how many Kirklands there are, I saw one in Florida, I think Mall at Millenia, and I was shopping in Richmond which is 90 miles from me.

They are nice square boxes made for wine, very cute, and will double well as a travel vessel for the wine. No bottles clinking! I will bring some extras to give away at the tasting :).

And my Friday trip was a Dillards outing...if any of you, especially the ladies, are looking for clothes, check out Dillards, my 90 mile trip was worth it. Bought my mom a pair of shoes, clothes worthy of a semi formal night or two, and a pair of pants, and a great summer um, dunno what women call it, sleeveless button up shirt. All for less than $100...

Good luck!
 
and WELCOME to all those who are adding to our numbers by posting at last...We're all going to have such FUN!

What's Going On.


:fish: Precruise Going On's :fish:


IMPORTANT...
To make sure we get our pins in time for the cruise, I will need to get the payment to Susan by 3/14 the latest. Ideally, we should have the order cut off on 2/14, which would give everyone 3 weeks to get the payment to me. We can extend that by a week, as I am padding this to leave no room for errors. I figure I need the payment by 3/7. Susan says she needs the payment by 3/14, and will order by 4/1, so we will have our pins by 4/29 (this leaves only a 2 week window for error) Once we cut off the orders, I will contact Susan with our total, and then she will get the pricing. I will PM everyone as well as post the price. Initially, I was going to just purchase them, and collect when I pass them out

Recap: Order cut off by 2/14 - 2/21
Payment to me by 3/7
Payment to Susan by 3/14
Susan will order and pay by 4/1

It you get someone on the phone, you may want to just go ahead and book stuff. One of the CMs told me that faxes and E-mail just go in a folder and they don't do anything with them until Monday.

Ken
