I've been transferring photos from my camera to CD tonight. These are from office Christmas parties and I need to send them around tomorrow.

Our first cabin view.

Believe it or not we still prefer the inside cabin.

I had wanted to spend more time on the boards tonight but I am fading fast My body is telling me "Go to bed!"

And no sleeveless tops at work. Even back when I had nice arms!

We have no dress code at work. I can't believe some of the things that people will wear to the office! And then they wonder why they don't get promoted!

Our first cabin view.

Believe it or not we still prefer the inside cabin.

Brack:

That's a gorgeous picture. Is it St. Maarten or St. Thomas? We, too, prefer the inside cabin. I really would have enjoyed the split bath, but we'll be fine in our Cat. 12! I'll go up on deck to take my pictures.

I'm fading fast, too, but I really want to stay up to watch ER!

Brack that is an amazing picture. Also love the shot of Jojo, and you're totally making me feel inadequate in my lack of holiday prep. Do you think I should take in teh pumpkin lights outside??

Busy night here...had a lovely dinner with the kids and dh, I made "fancy" desserts (just choc mousse in a wine glass), b/c we have to get used to fancy... Then dh was getting ready to bathe the kids and said, "could you check the water heater?" Oh lord, I hate going down there. So far we've had intermittent hot water (3 visits and a new "panel" later), the whole septic pump alarm during the storm...and tonight, a moderate, obvious but not flooding leak from the boiler. Why does it always happen on dark, rainy nights?? Turns out the furnace was broken again, but it was a mild day so we didn't notice til teh hot water ran out. A new valve later...it could be worse. But I am sick of calling the furnace company...

It's from 2002 with my film camera and I'm pretty sure that it is St Marten

I also freaked out dh by suggesting we skip lunch on embarkation and just get junk food by the pool.

"I paid for the buffet, I want the buffet!" (Remember Yosemite Sam, "I paid to see the high diving act, and I'm a-gonna SEE the high-diving act!")

Poor guy. His wife just doesn't get it sometimes.

I'm just really early because we leave so early in the season. Last year we put up virtually nothing before or after the cruise and I felt like such a Scrooge I was determined to do it early this year ...... even if the neighbors thought that I was nuts.

Brack - I love that picture! Never been to St. Martin.

Our first cruise was Disney's first time to go to Antiqua and San Juan. I guess that didn't work out, since we're going to St. Martin now.

You are indeed

I like St Marteen but you can be flooded by vendors as you get off the ship which is not fun.

Have been looking at Navigators today, too, and getting really excited! I can't believe it, in three weeks we'll be in Fl, basking in having seen the shuttle launch (I hope).
