When I first read this, I thought you were talking about manatees....which are vegetarians! Then I realized you meant the sharks. I was in the cage but there was a nice big space to take pictures through...a space I kept accidentally putting my hand through! It was a surreal experience.

thank you everyone for the comments. it really helps. as for the shark cage bring it on. let's go to the great barrier reef and watch white sharks.

I'm for that! I loved Australia but it's been 11 years!

The diving I did was in South Africa. Got seasick the first time I went so only watched them from above. 11 months later I went back and made sure to take my Gravol! It actually helps to be a little sleepy, I think. You don't really have to do any clear thinking since you are in a cage attached to the boat and the air tanks are on board.

The people who used to run Parc Safari are family friends. We used to go and then pop across the border to buy stuff we couldn't get in Canada (when I was young it was that Magic Shell chocolate stuff for ice cream!!).

Hope you enjoyed Montreal despite the rain (it's my birth place!). I'm going twice before my cruise....busy year!

Welcome back!!

I haven't bought or made everything yet. I'm in the middle of a big diet and it's hard to gauge what size I will be by the cruise. I have bought things that are two sizes smaller than I am now but I don't want to buy everything until I get closer to make sure my weight loss stays on pace. It would be a drag to have all this summer stuff that's too small and yet will be too big for me next summer. I can't wait too long though because you can't get shorts in Toronto in October!

Mom is in the midst of making our tropical shirts for Tropicali night. I have two dresses to make...one casual and one formal. However, the formal one is going to be what I wear to a wedding in October so I'm waiting until closer to get it done. Luckily my mom sews fast as she's going to South Africa in late September and I might run into some trouble (I'm not nearly as good as her).

I have my toiletries, disposable underwater cameras...I probably need film for my one camera.

I'm still trying to find the perfect pair of black shoes for my formal outfit which I'm hoping I can also wear with something else I'm bringing. On my RCCL cruise, I found I had to bring way too many pairs of shoes (I'm probably too picky about matching to my outfit!).

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO, doin' my dance here too!!!

I really haven't purchased anything for the cruise. I am so bad, I am pretty much a last minute person. Always have been, always will be. Procrastination is my specialty

Was this the earliest you could request it? I would have been worried this whole time that I wouldn't be able to get the time off. I gave up having an extra long weekend this summer to guarantee that I would get November 12th off (since November 11th is a holiday for me).

Mind you, we did book the cruise before I got the time...but I got the time the next day!!

My mom just came up with the first finished Tropicali shirt. I tried it on, started to limbo and then remembered that I put my back out on Monday and since I can hardly stand or walk, limboing is probably not a good idea!! I have 99 days to recover so I can limbo on the ship!!

I'm the Queen of procrastinators...except when it comes to planning my vacations. It's weird actually. If I could put this much energy into everything, I would lick my procrastination habit. Ahh....I'll worry about that some other time!
