08/15/2009 -Eastern- Tortola Treasure Seekers Part 2

[Zane_Anthony]

We will probably come down a few days early just not sure how much. I would love to spend a week before we go but Zane will probably not want to miss that much practice. I was reading one report that a group got together and rented a stretch hummer to take them to the port, they said it was awesome.

Glad you got out for a change Kristin! We decided to brave the cold and go out to dinner, and I got my iPod. Now if I can just figure this thing out. We got home a few minutes ago and I am still cold. Tonight without windchill it's supposed to be -8. But I'm glad we aren't further north like so many of you!

Congrats on getting the Ipod, which one you get?

On the last cruise she got right up there... chased down Minnie Mouse for a dance, too!

Now that would be totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!! We should see if we cold arrange that........
Where would you stay before the cruise????

 

[caitlinsdad]

Anyone thought yet what they want to do at the ports as far as excursions, etc.??????.

Havn't a clue what they will offer this time.

Other than maybe parasailing again at CC, dont have a clue

 

[caitlinsdad]

Seems like we all went out for dinner tonight!!!! Where did you end up going?????

Well not all of us, Stayed in and watched a movie

 

[caitlinsdad]

Sitting here making some winter plans..... looking for tickets for the IMAX U2-3D movie that opens next week in Philly.... Also, two new exhibits open at The Franklin Institute next month - "Real Pirates" and "Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination". Both seem very cool.

Sounds cool.

 

[caitlinsdad]

Maybe, depends upon how many drinks I have....LOL!!!!!!!!!

I guess we will need to set up a drink fund for Kristin

 

[caitlinsdad]

Me too actually! In all reality I'm not that crazy about dancing. But if I've had drinks, or its a chance to embarrass the kids then I'm all for it!

What about Karoke

 

[hmansure]

You must bring it to film Abby and I dancing and drinking...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

I guess we will need to set up a drink fund for Kristin

No no not for me remember I like to bring my own on ... Last cruise I only had two drinks............

 

[caitlinsdad]

I say the more we can embarss them the better.....LOL!!!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

You'd better bring extra tape....LOL!!!!!!!

DH is still reading about that Star Wars exhibit.......Are you planning on going???

 

[hmansure]

We are planning on spending the week before at WDW. Last time we took a Limo to the port as well and the kids loved it.....

We will probably stay a couple of days before as well - perhaps a bit after. Did something similar last time around.

We also used a limo - it was a big 'ol Escalade. MCO to WDW, then they picked us up and took us to the port and did it all in reverse. Kids loved it!

Now that would be totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!! We should see if we cold arrange that........

That would be AWESOME! I don't remember the exact cost they said but I know there was enough of them that it was a lot cheaper then DCL transfers. I am not sure where we will stay. One of the DVC's, right now I would say SSR. Do you already know where you plan to stay?

 

[caitlinsdad]

I know it makes me wonder if the animals are treated nice or not. In the Bahamas they seemed like they were but you never know. I'm sure they would rather be out in the open waters..........

Sounds likethe Doubloon was FUN the drinks sound AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
In St. Thomas our friend lives there and works at a resort so we will be going to the resort she works at to hang out and swim, etc. and of course drink.

Nothing planned for Tortola just yet.......................

Visit rum factor, hope for lots of samples

 

[caitlinsdad]

I know it's a long way away but does anyone know what their pre-cruise plans are? Are you spending any time at WDW prior to the cruise? If not are you flying in early and staying near the port? Last cruise we flew in on Friday and went to MNSSHP then took a limo to the port the next morning. My son loved it!!! He thought the limo was the coolest thing ever.

Maybe a few days at WDW

 

[caitlinsdad]

So what is everyone doing tonight?

 

[hmansure]

You'd better bring extra tape....LOL!!!!!!!

DH is still reading about that Star Wars exhibit.......Are you planning on going???

Absolutely. I have two guys, who along with me, are huge fans. DD has also been known to wield a lightsaber as well. She's scared to death of Vader though!

 

[caitlinsdad]

Remind someone to bring the video camera!

Ive taken one each trip lately and havent used one yet
