Unless....we are following the KK cruise rules and starting with the person listed below you on the list. This might be easier than to make up different lists.

MG, we are following the KK rules - when you get your list you will start with the name listed after yours on the list.

Good morning/afternoon all....

I have a busy day today....I'm working 1/2 day, then I have to run errands like crazy! Sunday is Pete's parents' 40th wedding anniversary, and I am having a family dinner at my house for 15 people.


The menu:

Shrimp appetizer

Salmon
Wild rice
Fruit salad
Scalloped corn
Bread
Relishes

Cake and ice cream, or Strawberry Shortcake

I am also making a photo collage for them - I bought a 10 opening frame, and I have their wedding picture, a portait from last fall, plus some pics of their family through the years, and one of the 3 grandchildren.

Needless to say, I will be busy!

Just copied this off the normal cruise thread -

"We prefer Sapphire Beach Club over Megan's Bay. No doubt Megan's Bay is beautiful but the we saw some shady characters lurking behind trees looking over everyone's belongings when we were taking a walk down the beach. Also the process for renting chairs at Megans Bay is crazy.

You have to go to a garage type building to rent chairs, but first you must go to the gift shop office and pay for them and leave a deposit (what tourist is going to steal a chair from the beach), then go to the garage to pick up your chairs, then drag them to wear you want to set them up. At the end of a hot day you now must drag your chairs back to the garage and then walk back to the gift shop to pick up your deposit. Not what I want to do on vacation.

For Sapphire Beach we just take a taxi there where there is a beautiful beach, chairs are already set up, there is a inground pool a ways down the beach, a restaurant and gift shop on site. There are iguanas walking around. We just found it an easier day at the beach. We told our taxi driver what time we wanted to be picked up and he was there to get us."

Anyone been to Sapphire beach?

I have never been on an Eastern, but my mom has heard Sapphire Beach is nice. I wonder if it's less crowded because there are no "excursions" to there (at least no DCL ones)....

We had a stop there on our Island tour last week. Very pretty, it was not crowded at all, but we were the only ship there. The bathrooms were icky... We didn't spend much time there just took pictures bought drinks and used the icky bathrooms. The beach is beautiful and the people that were there were snorkling and just relaxing. Looks very nice.

Good morning everyone.

Today is a busy day for me. This morning I have to be present for a non profit "bus tour" and then the follow up luncheon. Our local city human services is organizing it. On the bus, I have to give a 10 minute presentation on "what we do" to the funders/foundations that will be present. The lunch time is a time for them to ask us more in depth questions if they are indeed interested in funding us.

This evening, I have to take a group of teens to Manchester for a vocal rehersal. They are part of a large chorus that will be singing at an event next weekend.

I hope I have time to catch my breath this afternoon!

Joanne--what did you think of Tortola?

DISTAG LIST

The above list is now complete.

I have pm'd those 3 players who no longer post, but as yet had no reply, so our current total stands at 23 players, so go ahead and start thinking of your gifts!

Our cut off date to join is July 4th, so any new people joining the thread still have time to play. Our maximum players is 30 so we still have room for 7 more to join in.

People- remember to pm me with your room numbers... if you dont I'll put my cabin nmber in its place and "swipe" all your gifts as well as my own

I have included childrens names and ages on the sheet (but only the ones I have been told). If you want the children included just pm me their names and I'll add them on.

Cass - could you please update your list on the Bob site please

How do you want to get the tag sheet? I can make a table on word and post it here for you to print, or on the Bob site, or I can bring 30 sheets with me and hand them out at the terminal/sailaway meet? - opinions please.

It was decided to TAG about 4 or 5 players a day, by the end of day 5 or start of day 6 go ahead and complete the rest, so people can prepare and pack their goodies.

I hope this all makes sense!

Any alterations, suggestions welcome! Mama Goose did this last year, so I'm a newbie at organising - please give me a shove in the right direction if I've gone astray!

Happy tagging everybody!

Karen,

I can do a spreadsheet of all the players, names, cabins, etc. after the July 4 cutoff if you'd like.

You haven't killed it. I'm here. I was looking at Brenda's latest dining review. Now I'm hungry.

Did I miss your cruise pictures? How is work going?

 

[goslingl]

Sorry to mess up your FO

Sorry to mess up your FO

no biggie..I didn't even know it was the first post of the page. I got up to put more laundry in the washer.

 

[krazy4crusing]

Can I play?! Can I play?!

This sounds awesome! I will have to start thinking about my gifts... and how to get them all into my suitcase. I knew we should have driven down!

I love the idea of a spreadsheet with names/ages etc..

 

[krazy4crusing]

Where is the best place to buy Disney park tickets? Online, in Orlando?

We are going to be there for the week before the cruise.

Just PM Karen (Karen Mouse) with your information.

Absolutely! Send a PM to Karen Mouse...names and cabin # (if known)...

 

[Karen Mouse]

Karen could you please draw up a 24 hour security plan for a Turkish Medical centre using an 9 man team on 12 hours on 12 hours off,with 5 being on duty at all times for a three month period......

Erm

The game instructions say 2 for every 500 and three for every 1000 but I wasn't sure if that was how it is still being played.

Yes, that is the link I was sent, but I didn't realize I could modify anything on it - thanks again!

Laurie

Add those googleys!

Which port is this?

If it is St Thomas, we usually just take the ferry ourselves over to St John's (possibly my most favorite place in the world). If it's St. Maarten, better yet - Sapphire beach sounds pretty nice either way.

I'm worried about getting the ferry incase we dont get back on time!

Does that make us the abnormal cruise thread?

added ages in red. Guess it didn't work for my kids

Thank you

Can we somehow get lists that will mix us all up? If we all follow the same list 5 of us will be done in one day if we are following from the top to the bottom. Karen, I can help with this if you want me to.

Unless....we are following the KK cruise rules and starting with the person listed below you on the list. This might be easier than to make up different lists.



BOBers, when checking over this list, please be sure names are spelled correctly. (Karen, I believe Dee73 is Dianne). I know someone who is personalizing their gifties.

Double N on Dianne - got it

 

[Karen Mouse]

Heres the info I have currently - please help me add the other names/ages I've forgotten!
