Oh no, no posts today yet, and we were in the middle of page 2.

Less then 6 weeks to go.

 

[Bareacuda]

Looks like we need to start chatting again to keep us up to page 1 !!


DONT LOOK NOW>>>>> WE'RE ONE DAY CLOSER TO THE CRUISE

 

[Anjelica]

Well first all - page 2 is unacceptable so here's another BUMP.

Second - Just got this portable cabana in to use on our trip (we are doing one all day beach excursion plus Castaway Cay). Got it from leaps and bounds (also One Step Ahead for those more familar with that magazine). Right now they are marking down "some" of their more beach like tools/toys, etc. so may be good to check them out. BTW the portable cabana we got packs up VERY small and was a breeze to put up/take down (once we figured out the correct and scientific way of folding it).

That looks so nice for the beach!! What is everyone doing on St. Maarten? I think we are going to Little Divi Bay Beach on our own, not through DCL. It looks pretty, and I have heard alot of good reviews.

 

[tinkerbellandeeyore]

We are staying on the boat because we've been there

 

[JNorris]

We are taking a taxi to the Butterfly Farm, and then going to the beach that is close to the cruise ships. We've been to St. Martin on vacation, so we were not really interested in an island tour. And we've been to Orient, so, been there, seen the naked people already!

 

[Bareacuda]

We're doing the 12 metre regatta race. We've been to St Martin/ St Maarten several times. We try something new everytime.
One year we rented a taxi driver and he took us all over the island for the day. It cost us a whopping $50.oo.That included a trip to the butterfly farm, shopping and lunch and 2 hrs on the beach.

 

[LoriS]

We are doing the Under 2 Flags in St Maarten. I know I want beach time too, but haven't made any plans for that yet.

Who else doesn't have their room assignment yet? I keep checking my reservation hoping that it will be there. DH and I are getting really anxious to see where we are.

 

[Bareacuda]

Lori ... my DD is looking for her assignment.
She was checking this morning around 10 and it wasn't there.
I told her to keep looking every now and then.

 

[pooh1960]

we haven't been assigned our stateroom yet. Does anyone know when they start doing that?

we're getting excited about the cruise and ready to start packing!

I hope many of you will be dressing up for Pirate Night . I think it will be fun.

I haven't started our fish extender, but I picked up several gifts and a few things to decorate our door.

It's great to hear everyone talk about where to go and what to see because my DS and I don't know anything about all the places you discuss. So we read through and see what's goin' on. Thank you.

Do you have a gty room or something?

I am SO not a crafty person. I wonder if I can buy a fish extender, or something that will serve as one?

We usually do a door sign, but I'm afraid to put a bunch of stuff on my door, because if it gets stolen, I'm gonna be mad

 

[goslingl]

We are also going on the two flag tour. I am not sure exactly what it will be but I was told by someone who went on this excursion in January that it was very nice.

I have started packing. I bought a swimsuit two sizes smaller in My as an incentive to lose weight. (15 pounds and counting) DD said I was too ambitious. I am determined to squeeze into it.(I aplogize for this sight now)

DD has made signs for all three of our cabins. I can not wait to get on the boat. I have bought little gift bags that I am thinking about filling with candy for our servers and room attendent. Do you think this is OK? The ones we had last year was so good that I feel like I would like to do a little more than the tip. Well enough day dreaming I better get back to work.

I certainly hope it's soon. The suspense is getting to us.

We will be, dh and I already have costumes, but I still need to get them for the girls. I figure all the Halloween costumes will be out in the next couple of weeks, so we should have no trouble finding them then.

Lillian Vernon has cute kids costumes on their website, in case you're interested. DD got a genie costume there last year that was very cute.

In one month, I will be getting on the Magic for 2 weeks.

I got tons to do. Today Stephen and I attended our Nana's funeral. Saturday is the funeral of our Aunt's mother. Yep, my cousin's lost both their Grandmothers within 3 days of each other.

I started a pre-trip report. It is located here.

Hope you are all doing well.

 

[Stargater]

I will make you one.

The only reason I decorate the door is so I can find it after a few martinis they all look so alike. The only signs that did not get stolen were hte ones with the family name and pics

We are making ours very personal... adding our pic and our names to it.
How many 5'3" red heads do you know?

 

[JNorris]

I just sent you a PM.

I will make you one.
