06/24/2006 - Special Western Cruise - Who Else!?

[BethA]

We found late seating less rushed, but eating that late when I was starved by then, made me very tired. When we had early seating the teens had something planned with their friends right after dinner so it worked out fine. I think both have good points. We just never got out of the til 10 with late seating so prefer early

Ok need big help! It will be very hard for me to give up Carbs..... I love rice, bread, past etc....any suggestion on what I should have for breakfast??? I usually have toast and coffee! Do I have weight myself..yuk! I will start today with my best effort!!!!

 

[bairdbeth]

Okay I heard from Ivan and they do have an opening for the ruins tour at 8:30 am. Who is doing this tour? How do we get to Majahual, village?
Minnie7701- I wouldn't give up all carbs. I am trying to switch to wheat breads, oatmeal, brown rice and limit pasta ( I don't care for wheat pasta) For me, I need a lifestyle change and I know I will not live my life without carbs or sweets. For breakfast I am trying to eat oatmeal or a weight watchers muffin and a bannana with my caffeine free diet coke ( I know what's the point?)Hope all the Double Dipper Dieters ( DDD's!) are doing well!

As for the weightloss, I was down 3 lbs on Monday. I will be weighing in again tomorrow.

I also heard from Ivan, and we are doing the tour at 8:30Am at Coast maya. I emailed him and asked for info on getting to Majahual.

I am still loooking for other children to email my DSs, age 6 & 9. My 9 year old is not a big priority because he makes friends easy and is not stressed out if he does not know anyone. However, my 6 year old is a different story. PM me if anyone is interested.

I went to my weight watchers mtg. today and lost 3 lbs . Only fourteen more to my goal, which I should be able to do before the cruise. Well done Jeff! Way to go.

As far as the tour, the directions are right on the website. I believe its to the left of the front page. My DH and son will be joining you!

Oh Minnie, when I lost the 80 lbs this past year, my daily breakfast was one cup of Special K, one cup of milk with it, a sliced banana on top and a small juice glass of OJ and coffee. For a snack later in the morning, I had 7 animal crackers. Do you want to know what I had for lunch? I'd be glad to go on...

 

[Minnie7701]

Jillpie please go on I need all the help I can get. Special K sound good cause I like it anyway. I have to admit I failed again today! Did not get up early to do my exercise;-(. Tonight is the night specially since I was suppose to get up today and start!!!!!!!!
Will keep you all posted!

 

[disgal1]

I got my cozumel newsletter in an email. nice pictures and news...go to www.wilmacozumel.com

I also heard from Ivan tours, but got a phone call on my answering machine.!
I thought that was really nice.

I'll be solo on the tour, so I hope someone takes pity and says hi!!

 

[Jillpie]

Disgal, be sure to introduce yourself to my husband Don and son Pat on this tour! They'll be two tall (6') guys together and just say, hey! Are you Jillpie's hubby? They're very friendly. Have a great tour!

Minnie, we should start a new thread! All the poor people that aren't watching their weight are probably like, oh no, not again. How bout if we start one and see who wins by the cruise?!

 

[BuzzLightYear3]

Wow! I'm impressed with all of you "DDD's!" (Love that term!) I haven't checked in for a few days, but now I'm motivated again! Just in time too as I now have the next 10 days off of work.....need to make sure I'm using that time to work out and not eat!!!!

jtjcwise....I'll send you a PM. I have a DS-6 that would be happy to email. He's already emailing with another DS so we can get the 3 of them together. I have an almost 9 year old too, but it's a DD.....probably the last person your DS-9 would want to talk to!

 

[bairdbeth]

I received my confirmation for Ivan's tour today! So now I need to cancel the one with DCL. Disgal1 just look for the Pooh sized lady with a skinny DD(10) and join us in the tour. 31 days of school left, but boy do I have alot to do in that time ( standardized testing, 10 IEP meetings, 3 field trips, field day, egg hunt, and honors day) We are getting closer to our cruise date and we get to go even earlier on 6/19 for the parks! My DD is going to do the new Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique before the cruise. For all you DDD's keep up the good work. I haven't stepped on the scale yet, but I am hopeful! Just 2 pounds a week!

 

[disgal1]

Jillpie, I'll definately say hi to your family!

Bairdbeth...I'll keep an eye out for you and your daughter, I'll be the lost looking gal that looks like Rambo with my hat, long sleeve shirt, pants and fanny pack filled with sunscreen bug spray and bottles of water!

 

[bairdbeth]

Do we really need long pants and shirt for the tour?! I will pass out from the heat! OKay all DDD's I weighed in today and from last Saturday until today, I lost 5 pounds! Hopefully Easter brunch tomorrow won't throw me too off track!

 

[carole88]

Happy Easter!

 

[wendilyn]

Hi,
Those who received confirmation, Did you give payment? Last e-mail from him that we received said that they weren't taking June ressies, but he would confirm us for 1 hour after ship docks, 9am on the tour. Is this what you'll have?
Happy Easter and Passover,
Wendy

 

[musicgirl]

Happy Happy to all

We have 31 days of school left as well!!

I've been away from the internet since thurs. am. I'm out of town and have a few minutes on the computer.

Just had to post!!

 

[bairdbeth]

Happy Holidays! Wendilyn, I received my confirmation and it says we pay in cash at the beginning of the tour. We are to meet them at their location in Majahual village at 8:30 or 1 hour after the ship docks.

 

[Doingitagain]

Is anyone going on the Tulum Ruins tour in Cozumel? We booked it because we had some friends who went a few years ago and loved it. A recent thread had a lot of negative comments, especially about the ferry ride. Help!

 

[Doingitagain]

I just saw the 5/27/06 first Double Dip thread. They have had 36,227 responses compared to our 936...either they have too much time on their hands or the thread gets very busy closer to the cruise!

 

[bairdbeth]

Well... we better get to posting! I haven't heard much on the Tulum ruins. Are you taking it through Disney? I read on another thread from those who just came back from Cozumel that Disney changed all( or most) of their excursions to an early morning start time. It sounds like they tenders stop at dusk. Of course things may change by June. We just plan on mini golf, so that way we won't be rushed to get on the first tender or rush to catch the last one!

Hey everyone. Sorry I have been out of the loop for so long, I went on Spring Break with my DDs for a week without a computer. It was great. We were in FL and the weather was wonderful. Had to put on a swim suit and count me in on the DDD group. I was also hoping to lose a lot of weight before the cruise and will have to settle with what I can lose between now and then.

We will also be doing the David and Ivan tour.

I had a question about the different classes offered on the ship? How do you know what is available and when it is offered? How do you sign up? We have only done the 4 day cruise before and didn't look into these things.

Now with Spring Break over I am starting to get excited about the cruise. Need to start shopping
