Andy- is it raining in your end of Florida? Rainy all day here and supposed to continue here tomorrow.

Just watching BBall here. FSU beat North Carolina and have to play Duke tomorrow

We ran through a brief shower on the way home from Green Springs Cove last evening, but other than that very dry here.

We have a yellow lab too. He'll be 4 on June 14th and his name is Cabo San Lucas (Cabo for short). We also call him MANY other things especially when he eats cell phones, newly delivered cruise shoes and pulls down Christmas trees. In his defense though, that was years ago. Now he's just a sweet little lover. Cheryl (Cheryl N. WI) has a chocolate lab named Belle. As far as I know that's 4 labs amongst us BOBers. BTW...I think I missed your first name. Can you share that again with me?

My Moose is a mutt, but we think he has some Lab in him. He has lots of characteristics of a Lab--wants to be with the family, super smart, great with the kids, etc--Other breeds he may have in him are boxer, pit bull, shar pei, and I'm sure many more. He has been a great dog for our family.

Saw Timon on another thread and she recommended a visit over here! Look forward to getting to know you.

HI, I'm Paige, cruising with my DH Rob, and we have 3 children, but they are staying home with grandparents this time around. Welcome to the thread.

Well, I guess that's it for this morning, my battery is starting to run low and I have a few things I need to get done before our day starts around here. Hazel just got up and came outside to enjoy this fine Florida morning. Forecast high for today is 86*

Is that part of Silver Springs in Ocala MG? Hazel and I went there years and years ago. Not sure if it is still open or not. When we got to SR 40 we made a right, if we had gone left, we would have driven right past it.

Yup, that's the place Andy. Silver Springs. Maybe I can just google it and see what's going on over there nowadays.

Mornin' Sistah P!!

I'm really leaving this time, I know this is TMI, but nature is calling........

Deland/Lakeland....at least I had the "land" part right.

and YOIKES!, on the Weeki Wachee Springs and Silver Springs! They're entirely two different places! One is in Ocala and the other is north of Tampa.

The last time I was at WWS was when I was 17 years old and for some reason now I was thinking it was the same place as SS.

NEED MORE COFFEE!!!

Good morning everyone. Things are going well today. Our kids godparents are coming to visit us today. They just flew in from London last night, so it will be really nice seeing them.

I'll probably be on after they leave later this afternoon. It sounds like they are jetlagging a lot, so I don't think they will stay too long today. My guess is they will want to get acclimated to EDT.

Robin...great pics of the puppy. We have a Brittany, and bought a Yellow Lab puppy a couple of years ago, but regretfully had to put him down after 10 months. He developed anger problems and started coming after us. Apparantly he came from a puppy mill and was bred badly. The sad thing was, he was a great dog 95% of the time, but we just couldn't take a risk of him biting anyone, especially the kids when he got angry. Due to this agression, none of the rescue agencies wanted him and we had to do what we did.

Andy...sounds like you are enjoying your time in Florida and the great weather. Enjoy that 86 today!

Question of the Day:

Name your favorite shore excursion of all time.

Since we have only been on one cruise....this is hard. We enjoyed all of our excursions because the enjoyment the kids got and expressions on their faces was worth it all. But maybe I would pick Stingray City/snorkeling in Grand Cayman. Mark & I had been there pre kids, so having done it and then experiencing it w/the kids was great.

Robin - the puppy is adorable.

Welcome to the new BOBers, where in Illinois are you from? 20 cruises we'll be asking you questions.

Hey everyone...I am full cruise geek mode today. I have been reading trip reports, and now am scouring the net for airline tickets, and rental cars. I went to mousesavers and found a code for all Southwest Rapid Rewards members for 40% off Budget. Using that code a standard car gets a rate of $38.99.

I just wanted to give ya'll a heads up.

Chris, what code did you use? Was it U072732?

I went out to MS and the code listed there for SWA expires 6/30/2009. Plus, it didn't seem to give me any better deal than the WM code of W810011.

Thanks.
