Hiya Everyone!

Boy, there's 8 new pages since I went to bed last night!

It's 70 here in Central NJ and so far no rain.

Question of the Day:

Which restaurant is your favorite on the Magic/Wonder? First Timers: Which restaurant are you most looking forward to dining in?

My answer: Parrot Cay. I love the ambiance. I also love the burgers on Serenity Bay. Anyone know the name of that place?

Parrot Cay, definitely, for the ambiance (It's GREAT to have Pirate Night here). But I think I like the menu in Lumiere's the best!

not you too robin.
even my sweet polly has turn against me.

anybody feel sorry for me?

Nope!

great here.
robins still sleeping. seems she was up late looking at poochie pics thanks to several ladies who shall remain nameless.

but why do you always want the BIGpoochies.

the ones you need a horse trailer if you want to take the dog with you.

Don't feel lonely Kathy. I wasn't sure what they meant until I saw a picture. You see I didn't think of them as big comfy chars but rather not so comfy loungers! But I have sat in them.

Thanks Nancy!!!

Good Morning Bobers,

Sooooo please send lots of dust stuff his way, he will be taking the written portion of the test at 1 pm our time. His oral interview will be in a couple of weeks. He said there are 160 people taking the exam.

Happy Birthday Sean!!! ​

I wonder if they serve a lunch on that St. John Island tour.

When my dad and I were talking this morning, he was wondering the same.

Passporter doesn't say either.

Does anyone have a picture of a palm tree (or two) with perhaps just water behind it? I need a picture for a 5x7 frame.

Thanks.

Since this quote was back almost 15 pages and no one (except Mike) tried for it, how about I just give you the answer and then someone else can post the next one?

Hazel was going through my summer clothes and came across this pair of shorts that I wore as recently as last summer.

I think they might be a bit too big for me now.....

The description wasn't too descriptive. Let me copy and paste.

St. John Trunk Bay Beach & Snorkel Tour
Journey to this sun-soaked island paradise and lose yourself in a delightful beach and snorkel adventure! Take a one-hour ferry and 15-minute taxi ride to the picturesque Trunk Bay where you will receive snorkel equipment and instruction. From there, make a splash as you explore the wondrous world beneath the surface of the sea during an unforgettable one and a half hour snorkel experience.

Saved to your Wish List

Port of Call: St. Thomas/St. John Activity Type: Beach & Water Activity Level: Moderate Duration: 5 hours Price: Adult: $62 (ages 10 and up)
Child: $37 (ages 5-9) Ages: 5 And Up Additional Information Snorkeling equipment and instruction are provided.
This excursion is not recommended for Guests with wheelchairs.

Hope you all don't mind me butting in. I read this thread from time to time to keep up with my friends from the member cruise. My DH and I did this tour last April and LOVED IT!

You get picked up by a boat that is moored right next to the Magic. The ride over to St. John is beautiful and they will point out some celebrity homes you are passing. Once at St. John you board open air buses that take you to the beach. You get a beautiful view of Truck Bay from above before getting there. Upon arrival you first go to get your snorkel equipment and then you are free to go anywhere on the beach you want. The beach is a good size one with brown sugar sand. For those with children the shoreline is nice and quiet with some waves but nothing big. For those who like to snorkel there is a sunken trail you can follow. Your beach time is about 2 hours or so. You are told what time to meet up for the return trip. I know DH had time to do the snorkel trail twice and I got some shopping in at the little (and I mean little) gift shop. The return trip is just like the trip over...bus to boat, boat to the dock by the Magic. We had plenty of time after getting back to clean up, shop at the stores at the dock and even go to Paradise Point.

Hope this helps anyone looking at this excursion.

Hey Dan - Did just book a one way ticket? Or are you going home on the 31st?

I just looked on the JetBlue site and they don't have flights for Nov. 1st posted yet (at least not for MCO to EWR) - they stop at 10/31.
