We did cabana massages on our honeymoon. It is certainly nice, but it is up for grabs whether or not it is worth the $300+ price tag. Ours was worth it, but it is not something we would put on the top of our list of doing again.



Has anyone been watching the Olympics? I thought it was flat out amazing that Hamm pulled through to win the gold in the mens all around gymnastics. It was awesome!

Ok, gotta go. I am sure Copper is peeing on the carpet
again somewhere. I forgot how much of a pain in the rear it is to potty train puppies! He knows he is supposed to go outside, but he hasn't quite figured out that he isn't supposed to go inside! A five pound peeing machine!

$300+ for a massage

We are also glued to screen for the time being, we watch Olympics in the gym while doing our Cardio routine and then at home til we go to bed - So my backlog of DVDs is piling up even more
But now it's bed time, we worked out every day since Sunday and will do a 6-mile run tomorrow, because we won't have time to work out during the weekend.

Have a great one and see Y'all very soon

You have heard of S'mores, right? Roasted marshmallows and chocolate in a grahm cracker sandwich? It is a camping must have dessert! The roasted marshmallows alone are great...however, they must be perfectly browned to create a crispy brown coating over the gooey melted center. It's okay if it catches on fire...just don't let it get charred! It truely is an art form !

Ok, you guys are making me really jealous! We are staying in Orlando to see some friends (and also to save some money ), but I would love to go to your beach tailgate party. Ya know, up here in Packer/Badger/Brewers country we know how to tailgate. I wish we could join you but can't Can someone bring me a s'more on Saturday?

On the top there's your name, then your avatar, your tag and under the tag you will see Posts: xy
Another funy postcounting feature: Go to the Cruisemeets page,
to the right of our thread you'll find the number of total post of our thread (Something slightly above 4000), click on this number and an additional window will open, showing you the number of posts per person.

But, the post that Avé lists as number 4,000 shows 834 under her name. Where does she see 4,000?

Wow, I never knew that little trick about clicking on the #of replies! Very interesting......of all the newbies, I have the most! Double schnaps, please!

What time is everyone parasailing? Since I got cancelled last week, maybe there's room for one more person in one of your groups.

? Does anyone who if they still have those Italian Charm Braclets on the ship with Disney charms. They are stainless steel in color and stretchy like watch bands. I hope to get a Goofy charm and am curious to see if I'll be able to get one from Treasure Ketch. They had them last year and I didn't and you know the story ..."Could kick myself".

11:30a for parasailing for some of us. Mike

Eric, George says he will make a "camp" fire in our backyard the night you and Anja come for dinner, so we can roast marshmellows and make S'mores!

A tailgate/beach party sounds like a blast! Not knowing the area,I'm not sure where we could do it. Maybe Shirley (at the Perfect Gift) could suggest a place?
Last year Ave and I had a get together poolside at the Radisson. We had light snacks and beer and wine. It was nice because there is a bar close by for different/additional beverages, restrooms, music, as well as a place to go if the weather is poor. Also people can come and go to/from rooms as needed, and the kids can swim while we chat. Ave and I would be happy to do this again this year. I will be stopping at the grocery store before getting to the port, and can pick up the items we need.
Another possiblity is to do this at Ron Jon (if RJ allows non guests on the property??)

Marianne...how are you doing? I've been thinking about you.

Nanncy (PADisneyFan) I hope you are feeling better and can post soon. You are missed!

I am bummed about Grills! I thoght it would be the perfect place to have a get together. But I do NOT want to spend 2 hours waiting for a table while my kids (who will be too excited to sit still) drive me crazy!Thanks for the heads up on the situation!

Marianne,
the 834 under her name is her individual post count.
The 4,000 in total for the thread you can see on the Cruise Meets overview page to the right of our thread's title. We are now at about 4,030 posts and nearly 50,000 views - meaning that the lurkers outnumber the posters by 12:1

 

[Viking]

Looking forward to the S'mores

 

[Viking]

Good news, Folks:

Maryellen aka Auntmeme has taken over responsibility for the coordination of the Beach Party
I'd say everybody who wants to participate should send her a mail stating
-the number of persons attending (Kids/Adults)
-what you intend to bring
You'll find her adress on The List

Thanks a lot, Maryellen

 

[ARLO1]

Andy and I would like to attend the tailgate party also. All we ask is that someone give suggestions as to what is needed to bring. We will be staying at the Best Western the night before...

Wonderful Maryellen! I have sent you a PM.

Bye, Kim

Wow the beach party sounds great. I just sent an email to Auntmeme. We took Haley to the County 4 H Fair last night and she had a blast petting all the animals. I was too tired to log on and couldn't believe that I was 3 pages behind! Boy you guys were talking up a storm last night.

I really can't wait for this cruise and to see everyone again and meet the newbies.

The beach at the Ron Jon resort is actually a block or two behind it and therefore I believe it is public property. There may be regulations, however, about actually cooking on the beach. Some places don't permit it.

If I try to get into the 11:30 parasailing, will I miss lunch at Serenity Bay? (Heaven forbid I should miss a meal!) I don't want to have to deal with the crowds at Cookies.

Maryellen,

Got your email. Thanks for doing this.
