Lucky you but i think you both deserve it.
Been a long time since we felt the sun.

Just opened the windows to let some "warm" fresh air in. It feels great having the windows open and ceiling fans running!!!!!

Also, sitting here in shorts and a t-shirt, gotta love it!!!

Just think 5 days ago we were in the middle of a 9" snowfall, now just about all the snow is gone, praise be!!!

Thats great! I haven't been out since putting the dog out early this morning. The kids have said it is pretty warm though.

Well then, step outside young man!!!!!

Well, I was just on the DCL site looking at excursions. Is the St. John Trunk Bay Beach/Snorkel the only DCL excursion to Trunk Bay? I am pretty sure that is what we are planning to do. Go to Trunk Bay that is. Since it is an entirely different island, I am thinking a DCL excursion is the way to go.

Chris, You're one up on me. I haven't even started looking at the excursions yet. I'm at work so I'm limited in the time that I have to look.

Trunk Bay was the place I wanted to go to. I wonder... Does the excursion provide for beach time or is it there and back again? What about age limits and/or cheaper fares for observers only. I'm sure that Jeff knows of a off-line alternative. We would just need to be very attentive to the time that we're out.

LOL I will eventually. Have to make lunch soon for the kids.

 

[B9erSteve]

I wonder if the St. John tour is any good... or if it offers beach time.

Yeah, I just looked. Since my youngest will be 5 we could do it, but neither are very strong swimmers and I was hoping for just some beach time.

Same here, my kids don't swim yet either. Daughter is close and probably could handle it, but not my son.

Welcome aboard, I am Joanne and DH Roger, we are empty nesters ans sailing w/o the kids.....Just Jump in and chat away. Been out your way many times, my sister lives in Fair Oaks,

Nice to meet you. I wish we had looked at houses in Fair Oaks when we moved here. We are actually in Folsom. My backyard is too small for my liking.

It looks pretty freeform now that I really look at the excursion. Now do I want to take a tour of the island or sit on the beach. The beach is inviting but my wife is partial to tours. decisions decisions.

 

[captchris]

Was the DIS lagging too long to snag a FO?

 

[B9erSteve]

sorry!

 

[B9erSteve]

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