[JLDSMD]

So my daughter has graduated from falling asleep in her closet to falling asleep under her curtains

This was how we found her tonight....

I love this one. Too cute.

 

[JLDSMD]

Ok, after some searching, I found a schedule for the ports...

St Thomas 10/28/09

Liberty of the Seas, Disney Magic and Eurodam


St Maarten 10/27/2009

Liberty of the Seas, Disney Magic

Liberty is 160,000 tons and holds 3634 passengers at max capacity
Eurodam is 86,700 tons and holds 2104 passengers

Thanks Cass. Looks like this Liberty of the Seas is following us. Where are they sailing out of? FLL or MIA? Or is PC big eough to handle that ship?

 

[JLDSMD]

Wasn't that crowded when we went. I'll have to look for our pictures of the day we went.

BTW, is that AFEG in the foreground to the left walking away from the camera? (hey, if he's not here to defend himself.... )

Speaking of pictures Paige wanted to see some of the Treehouse Villas being built at Saratoga Springs:

Thanks, Cheryl. These look cool. I can't wait to hear some reviews. I thought about these for 2011 when Emily graduates (I think Becky was thinking along those lines for her family, too.) Because they are located in a "swampy" area, I wonder if they'll have snake/gator issues. The units themselves look great, though.

 

[disgrits]

Cute pics, Cass! I would be so tempted to get a pic with an empty bottle of wine next to her when she sleeps on the floor....

 

[JLDSMD]

Just checked my pics from our trip to Meghan's Bay, sorry, no shots of the beach while we were on it. I have some from Mountain Top, but can't zoom enough to see how crowded.

I did take a video of the beach and it wasn't too crowded, but I think my even with my "time stamp" off on the file system, it was still only 10 or 11 in the morning, so not the crowded time. I know we had an island tour at noon or so that day. Sorry I couldn't be of more help with pics.

Oh, and we had 3 other ships in besides the Magic that day. I know I have pics of the ships in the port from Mountain Top. I'll find those and post.

 

[JLDSMD]

Morning Paige.

I still have at least 10 more (or so) pages to read to be caught up here but wanted to respond before I forget what I wanted to say....

Of course!

Thank you. It would make a great note card.

You crack me up with your numbers. I definitely think we are going to get very chatty the closer it gets. I love it when I get on here and there are pages and pages to catch up on. Even though it isn't all cruise talk I love getting to know everyone better. It really was great on KK1 walking around the ship and always bumping into someone I knew.

Double Ditto (unless someone already doubled it).

Okay - I've not met you in person to compare, but what a beautiful picture of you! Look how gorgeous and clear your blue eyes are! Stunning!

Awww thanks Mimi. But if you want to see stunning eyes, take a look at Di's or Rachel's (Cheryl's DD) eyes. HOLY COW!!!

trust me. i've met her. she's a babe.

Are you Schmoozing MiCkey?? (Thank you though your judgement is very clouded).

We got a lot of snow melt yesterday and today. It will all be gone by mid-week (piles and drifts are all that is left now).

Now we get to find all of Cabo's little treasures that were burried under the snow though. YUCK!

Nancy- great crown will you bring it on the cruise for formal night????

That thing is waaaay too bulky to bring along. I did see one on the lady sitting in front of me that was much nicer and it lit up! I don't know what she paid for her's though.

Oh no problem! I post before I read all the way through too. I try to multiquote, but sometimes there are so many pages, I'll forget my comment if I don't go ahead and post. Hmmm - is that a sign of getting older?

That's exactly why I had to quote a few and respond. I do the same thing Mimi.

Hey, now that dinner is done, have another question: If you have a baked (jacket) potato, do you eat the skin?

I do if it is crispy. I find it better than the potato itself.

I would eat the skin first if I could. Doesn't matter if it's crispy or not.


OK...I'll read more later today. Both the bosses are gone!! Off to move it, move it....I got to move it, move it, so I can lose it, lose it!

 

[JLDSMD]

OK, here is a pic of the ships in St. Thomas the first time we went. As you can see, they are larger than the Magic. But again, when we were on the beach, it wasn't that crowded - allbeit in the morning.

 

[JLDSMD]

INow we get to find all of Cabo's little treasures that were burried under the snow though. YUCK!

Morning Nancy.

Our neighbor was out with his son yesterday getting him to do that same job.

Glad we don't have a dog.

 

[cntkg1]

OMG!!! I have 13 more pages to read just to be caught up!


Update on Wii Bowling Night at our house:

Chuck and I won two of the three games and Kristin and Jesse won the other. Our cruise kiddy is piling up! At this rate, we'll have our flights paid for!!

 

[JLDSMD]

Here are some of my pics of Meghan's in the afternoon. I zoomed on my computer and it didn't look too crowded. Not sure how a zoom here would work. Anyhow, you can at least see the bay and the beach.

Don't forget though, if K&J don't have money, they will either not be going or you will be paying for their flights.

Oh, and for those who want to see Trunk Bay, here you go:

How about Nancy's favorite picture from my collection of St. John:

And Karen's favorite from my Grand Cayman collection:

O.K., time to get going this morning. My 10:00 meeting got moved up to 9:00, so I have to get moving. Talk later people.

 

[disgrits]

Jeff, your pics are gorgeous! It makes me excited to go!!

Good morning everyone!

It's interesting that the Liberty of the Seas will be following us. Is that the ship that will be moving to PC? I know one of the Freedom class ships will be moving there sometime this year. I saw the Freedom in NYC just after she launched for the Today show festivities, and those are massive ships. They are currently the largest afloat until the Oasis comes around later this year.

Jeff, love the pics. I have never been to the Eastern, so we are really looking forward to it. My dad knows of a beach in St. Maarten that is very convenient to the ship, so we will head there in St. Maarten. He said there is jet skis for rent there and a nice big "bay" to ride around in. St. Thomas is up in the air. On their last Eastern, my parents and sister took the St. John tour, but that could be pricey for all of us. We will definitely do our homework over the summer and figure out what we will do.

Well, I am off to work. I'll log back on when I get there.

Morning BOBers

I'm actually up early this morning to workout

Thanks Cass. Looks like this Liberty of the Seas is following us. Where are they sailing out of? FLL or MIA? Or is PC big eough to handle that ship?

It sails out of Miami

Cute pics, Cass! I would be so tempted to get a pic with an empty bottle of wine next to her when she sleeps on the floor....

LOL! I probably would but we don't drink and I don't have an empty bottle of wine

Just checked my pics from our trip to Meghan's Bay, sorry, no shots of the beach while we were on it. I have some from Mountain Top, but can't zoom enough to see how crowded.

Thanks for looking Jeff
