No we haven't yet but definately will, with the way this hurricane season is starting. We didn't get much rain. Only very large waves. It's hurting our pretty white beaches. They are still renourishing from last year.


Is any one doing the Fury catamaran in Cozmel? It looks like fun.

Joanne:

I'm surprised you guys didn't get much of the rain from Alberto. We got slammed. In fact, it just stopped raining about an hour ago. My pool was almost overflowing. In fact, Sunday evening, the winds picked up a lot and branches were blowing all over the yard.

We were thinking of doing the fury catamaran in Cozumel. Do you know much about it?

Where in Florida are you? We are up in the Panhandle.

We had friends who did it in 2002. they had a blast. Margaritas on the beach and boat after snorkling. They hung out at the beach for a while and ate, drank, floated and kyacks. LAst summer we snuba'd in Cozmel when we went on RCCL that was a blast but you are only down for about 20 minutes. This sounds like more fun and a relaxing afternoon.

If you read some of the 5/27 trip reports some of them did it too.

We got very little rain doen in Broward county and today was hot as hell.

Hey girlfriend!!! since when did you ever care what anyone else thought. I refuse to be demoted, I am working tonight and tomorrow. I am working over 60 hours this week but I work very little during the summer so that is that. chow love ya man

 

[JOANNEL]

Amanda, he is so adorable. Enjoy cause they grow up way too fast.

 

[Annae]

We're in Longwood which is about 20 minutes from downtown Orlando. All that ran ended mid-afternoon yesterday and the kids were back in the pool right after dinner last night. I'll have to check out the reports on the catamaran sail.

Hi everyone! Well my History class is...well history! All I can hear is the song, "I'm walkin on sunshine! Whooooohooo!" One more class to go and I am on summer vacation! OMG that will be such a great feeling! No more essays!!!!!!

Amanda I love Nathans picture! He looks just like you! He's gonna break some hearts!

So one final question about the 90 day ressies, do we log on on Sat night/ sunday morning and book them? And should we pray that we get what we want before or during?

 

[sirena]

I have not paid in full yet. I'll probably wait until the last day (July 3rd) and I hope I can get Palo dinner at least once! I forgot what you guys recommended, high tea or brunch? Anyone doing either? I doubt DH would care to join me...

I am trying to post a pic of DD4, she talked about our trip to Holland in Show and Tell today. She lights up every time she talks about it.

Hey girlfriend!!! since when did you ever care what anyone else thought. I refuse to be demoted...love ya man

How do you rate only posting Seven Times and getting TOP OF THE PAGE?!?!?!

OT - Yeah, I don't care about what anyone else thinks, but I do care what you think - I took out my anti-brow just 'cause you said to... I gave it a good seven months to heal, and it never wanted to. I have four little spider bite looking holes in my cheek, hopefully they'll be gone before the cruise Now if I can get that Tattoo off my forehead I can't wait to book our excursions this weekend, The CAT in Cozumel will be awesome, looks like we have some DISers joining us that day Lemme' know if there's anything else you see in the passporter you wanna' do....I called reservations and the CM said it's better to book and then cancel, verses not booking at all and trying to get a spot on an excursion later so I am booking us for the stingrays BOTH days at CC and if you wanna' cancel one of the days or if Mekayla does, then we will-three days before the trip to not lose any $$$. I have been watching the boards to see what's new but we seem to be a pretty quiet group. Hopefully we'll pick up closer to cruise time! Talk to you later, Love Ya' Man!

Sirena: I reccommend Brunch over High Tea at Palo!

 

[sirena]

I have good news. I got a better deal on the buttons so it seems we will be able to get them for a lot cheaper. It would be $1 and change per pin rather than $2+ Right now my count is 43 but I am ordering 50 in case we have late commers. I am now planning to wait until July 3rd (last day to pay for the cruise) to place the order.

 

[skoi]

Wow, such adorable children. If I figure out how to post pictures, I'll have to find a good one of mine. The problem is, one of them always looks weird in every picture.

We're obviously in the minority because we liked tea. We want to do brunch and tea, but don't think dd #2 will do well in Flounders. Dinner too. I liked Palo.

One more question and then we have to go off to baseball. I can't wait to be done sports for a month (then soccer starts). Any idea what page the doorsign templates were on? Last time I checked in I think we were at around 80-something.

That was my problem last time - I couldn't do Palo at all b/c DD did not want to stay at the OC. This is why I am desperately asking if there is a 4 y/o out there so she can have a friend and maybe be more enthusiastic about it.

I just emailed you the images for the door sign/t-shirt and pin design. If anyone else needs them, please PM me your email address.

Morning all,

So how many are getting up or staying up until 3 am/ 2 am central Sat night to book reservations?Has every one decided on their excursions? I wish I knew the difference between the jeep or dune buggy in Costa maya.
Have a good Friday.

Count me in, There's nothin' I like better than staying up 'till 11:59pm to make reservations for shore excursions. Actually, now that I think about it, what a cool thing to do...It's not everyday you get to book shore excursions

PurpleTart: OCF less than a month away!!!

I'll be up! Granted it will be a little easier for the west coast people. We only have to stay up until midnight. But in all honesty I would wake up at 4 am for Palo!

 

[JOANNEL]

What days are you going for Palo?

 

[skoi]

Sirena-
Thanks for the templates. Our son hated the OC the first time we cruised. He would go if we took him, and stay, but if we walked in he'd be ready to go. The next time he was a lot better, and actually chose to go on his own, based on the activities they were doing. Maybe your daughter will do better this time.

Unfortunately your dd falls right in the "hole" between ours, 12, 8, and 2, so we can't help you out in the club. Maybe we can start up a list of the kids? Our 12 year old dd is desperately hoping to find another girl near her age so she's not stuck with her brother.

I know you are asking Amanda but I wanted to give my input in case I am mistaken...

Based on the Navigators it seems that the 1st and 2nd nights are not themed, all others are. I cannot make my ressies yet b/c I am waiting until the last minute to pay. I think I will try one of these two nights, that is if the restaurants are repeated since I do not want to miss going to any of the restaurants.
