Good morning Jen

Hi Karen!

 

[Karen Mouse]

Well, I just tried to downlaod something from a cd onto Ellis' nintendo - and I think it worked! ....well, it started to work then told me I hadnt got enought space - it downloaded 3 out of 25 so now I need to get another microsd ...

I'm feeling rather proud of myself - it didnt crash, blow up, or laugh at me - just call me a "technical wizard"

ps - it only took me 3 hours

 

[Karen Mouse]

We ate at Parrot Cay for lunch a couple of times...it was a buffet, but waiters brought beverages for you.

I was thinking about this the other day.... I dont remember eating lunch at all onboard apart from the Lumiere day

I remember raiding the chocolate eclairs from the coffee place with Suz, and I remember trying some of Ellis' chicken strips one day but that was all.

Maybe it was just cos we were off the boat

I remember all the dinners though

 

[millerpjm]

Andy - hope you feel better and can get some sleep today....maybe a nap this afternoon?

So, what's everyone doing today? We have an early morning appointment with the vet (we found out our vet is open on Saturday, but the only appointment time open was 8 am). One of our cats has decided occasionally the litter box is not where he wants to "go". Not too sure what's going to happen.....sigh...

Other than that, I don't know what we're going to do...probably just hang out....

 

[Karen Mouse]

ok, its 11am and I'm still in my p.j.'s (Lazy girlie). I need to get ready.

I'm going to head to the shops to hunt down this micro sd that I need before my courage runs out and I give up on his nintendo

Good luck at the vets Jen - our Patch is still alive. Neil got him out the cage last night and he plodded around slowly on the dining room laminate. He didnt seem to topple over as much so fingers crossed the medication might be working


We dont have much planned for today. Probably make some cakes and then the new neighbours are having a housewarming party tonight.

 

[Karen Mouse]

For Once I'll get off the dis and start my day

I only remember a few lunches...we got room service once (after the pirate excursion I got to stop at 2 places by the pier to shop ) and then we tendered back to the ship. While we all cleaned salt off us, we got room service for a late lunch. I thnk we did Parrot Cay twice (didn't care for the asian theme day) and Lumiere's I know we did on Key West day - we could see the palm trees out the portholes....

Glad to hear Patch is hopefully doing better...

Yeay - party!

We were supposed to go over to our friends' house (we gather pretty much every Saturday) but the flu has hit their household....

 

[millerpjm]

Ok, so I've got a couple pics from Easter...

in order: Anthony, Thomas, and Andrew...

 

[Verandah Man]

Andy - hope you feel better and can get some sleep today....maybe a nap this afternoon?

I was finally able to fall back to sleep from 4:30 to 7:30 this morning, still very extremely tired though, so much for going in to work today and trying to get caught up from being off last week............


Such a BOBagainer since my last weigh-in two weeks ago, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo ashamed of myself............. All that darn chocolate and extra eating out last week did me in............

Now, time to get back on the wagon again.........

Forgot to mention, we are going to a fellow DIS'ers house for dinner tonight and she is making Chocolate Lava Cake for dessert............

 

[Karen Mouse]

Ok, forget that title of "technical wizard" .... new the thing doesnt work ... its exactly the same as the old one... even the same make and yet it now comes up with an error message?

Bl**dy technology....even the title of the thing is taunting me..its called an M3 Simply..."simply" my *ss,...theres nothing simple about it at all

I have just wasted 5 hours on this

Don't forget, we did Palo Brunch on Sunday, and Thursday was the Eclair day, so that only left Monday for you to eat lunch on the ship, so that must have been your Lumiere's day. We were off the ship on Tues, Wed, and Fri. Saturday they send you to either PC or Topsiders.

 

[JLDSMD]

I didn't realize Lumiere's served lunch. Do the other evening venues also serve lunch?

Usually only Lumiere's and I believe PC. PC sometimes have a buffet, but usually on the sea days they have the Character Breakfast, so they may not. I'd have to check my previous navigators (they list who is open for lunch).

AP is closed and I think they take the clubs there for lunch.

OK, just checked the most recent navigators online.

Sat (Onboarding): Open until 2:15
Sun (Key West): Open 11:30-1:30
Mon (at Sea): Open 11:30-1:30
Tue (Grand Cayman): Closed
Wed (Cozumel): Closed
Thur (at Sea): Open 11:30-1:30
Fri (Castaway): Open 12:00-2:00

Topsiders is open all days EXCEPT Castaway Cay day. They also open from 12:00-2:00.

Looks like they open both buffet restaurants for the times the ship is full (Key West day isn't an all ashore until 12:30, so they need the backup).

FWIW, Lumiere's open everyday except Sat and Fri.

The Lumiere's menus can be seen on the castaway club dot com website (sorry, can't put the link in or we get "*").

A "very early" good morning to all. I woke up at 1:09am (went to bed at 11pm) and haven't been able to go back to sleep. Not sure if it was that last helping of Ham and Cabbage or what, but woke up with a sick feeling in my stomach.

Anyhow, here is my "early" morning sunrise pic for today, this was taken on 11-7-02 at Vero Beach, Florida.

Sorry you were up so early Andy. I didn't sleep well either. Every once in a while the joints hurt. Took 800 mg of Ibu and it kicked in, in about an hour. I went downstairs to sleep on the couch so I didn't keep Suz up and fell asleep there, but that didn't help the back.

BTW, nice early morning pic.

We haven't "done" lunch through room service, but have gotten a couple items from it. DS didn't eat much dinner one night so we ordered him the burger and it was really good. Another afternoon Suz and I were hungry for a snack so we got the BLT - very good. We're up on Deck 9 too much on sea days to be in the room for a room service lunch, but I think we may do one during the repo. I also plan on at least 2 Lumiere's lunches that trip (might be one or both on my own though - Suz will be on deck almost the whole time).

Oh yes of course - Palo brunch would have been one of the days

We only got milk and cookies, tea and coffee from room service. Something else we'll have to try next time. My to do list is getting longer by the minute
