08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 3

[JsMom2]

I need to figure out what we're doing for dinner, but will check back in later.

I am trying to talk myself out of relighting the chiminea and making myself a few more Schmoes.

 

[RBennett]

Oh, BTW Tina wanted me to ask a question to the other "Poohs": What are people doing for swimwear on the cruise or what have you found that you like/can live with?? She hasn't found anything yet and she's still looking. Thanks!!

Go for it!!! You can never have too many smores!!!

I think we will try to catch the martini tasting this trip.

I'm going to do the wine tasting. I'm not to interested in martini's, and I don't need a beer tasting, I know the beers I like, and I'm sure there aren't many on the list that I haven't already tried.

Will definitely be doing the cigar and cognac night as well...

 

[AmberDaClown]

Are you going to get any Cubans at the official store in St. Maarten? DH plans to get about 10 to smoke and to bring back for friends.

 

[AmberDaClown]

We are trying to decide if we want to fly into Denver for our Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Devil's Tower trip or into Rapid City. It could be less in airfare, but that also means money in gas and 14 extra hours in the car.

I plan on stopping at La Casa del Habano in either Marigot or Phillipsburg and picking some up. It depends on price as to how many I get. I'm not dropping $500 on cigars

And I lost my 11000 pirate. Did someone possibly delete a post that threw off the count?

I just looked back on the thread and I still show you at 11,000.

 

[AmberDaClown]

DH cannot gamble on the ship so he says he is using his normal shipboard bankroll to restock his humidor.

Since I don't go to the beach much, I have one suit that's worked for me for years. It's a "tankini" which I like cause it's much, much easier for bathroom trips. It also has a halter type neckline cause I apparently have no shoulders with which to hold up regular type suit straps. But I really love the halter type, cause no matter how much I move around in the water or swim, the top never slips down.

 

[JoiseyMom]

We missed ours as well. Happy belated 2000 to you too!

Awww..ty.

Ah, that was the other thing, beer tasting. Dh wants to do that. His beer tastes are pretty wide, but he's always interested in trying something new. (And, um, drinking beer...)

Jason, have you been to that cigar store before? Dh will probably be looking for some guidance. We still have some cigars leftover, he bought a bunch for BIL for his son's birth, but I know he'd be happy to look for something different.

Big discussion on this one on the board. Brunch we add $5 per person (total of $10 for the 2 of us) since, yes, at least a portion of the fee for eating there goes to the servers. We increase that to $10 per person for dinner. The service is superb and the food wonderful. Our servers have not seemed disappointed with our tips and it does not break our bank. Remember that they add 18% for any alcohol purchased. DCL official word is that the tip is included in the fee. We have always given a little more because they treat us SO good. Tea would be the same amount as brunch in our world.

Thank you!!

Once a geek, always a geek. You're still part of the club.

- Bill

Yea me!!!

 

[JoiseyMom]

Exactly!

I say let the fun continue. Ya'll are cracking me up, and now I'm really looking forward to some great times in Rockin' Bar D onboard.

I'll be there!! No spanx on me, but the "girls" will be hanging out .

Yeah apparently everything righted itself a little after I posted that. Thank you for checking.

[JoiseyMom]

Rob, we can joke around and only one person was upset. There are people in this world who are just waiting for an opportunity to be offended or cause dissention. I choose to ignore those people and continue to have fun and be who I am. Party on!

ITA!

 

[JoiseyMom]

See, here's how I see it; in 4 weeks we're going to be drinking up the sun and the drink of the day and I say we just need to sit back, relax, and have some fun!! Bring on the Spanx!!!

My kinda crowd!!

 

[JoiseyMom]

I heard the new design for the Palo brunch menu includes a cover that says...

Have you had your Spanx today???
