Okay, Castaway Cay - Parasailing (really thought this was going to be booked, have never had the chance to try it on the other cruises) for 10:30

My DH is doing the parasailing at 10:30 on Castaway Cay too! Maybe you will be on the same boat!

Ok, the crepes sound yummy! But sorry got to pass on the snails!

Dh is golfing in ST. Thomas but Aubrey and I are doing the tram, but I booked it thru DCL since I will be by myself, I didn't want to go it totally alone.

Hope you are all having a great Weekend! I'll check in later.

Oh, and I don't like the new name, makes it sound too far away! LOL I do like the "Eating our way across the Caribbean though! LOL

Hi Y'all!

re: excursions - We'll be on the early Golden Eagle too! DH and DS Josh will be parasailing on CC, but not til the afternoon (when I booked on day 1, that was all that was left! I'll call them again...)

re: rebooking. We're booked for the Western "special" Aug 19, 2006! Two stops at CC, and an excellent price for the summer! I may "re-book" it while on board, once I do all the math to see if it's worth it!

Linda and Sarah!!! Hope you had fun downtown yesterday - the concert was great, but was missing 3 special people! I had one eye on the front gate the whole time!

DH tells me a lot of messages kept popping up for me on Friday - sorry, you weren't being ignored! He commandeered the computer that night, and doesn't know about AIM. Next time he can at least say "sorry, Jen's not here!"

Since we're not really the excursion type, we're doing our own thing in St . Maarten and St. Thomas. Last year, we found it really easy to take the ferry from the port across to the beach. It was ridiculously cheap--maybe $ 3 per person, and our baby was free. The guys there were charging for chairs which seemed really odd, but it was still a very inexpensive way to enjoy a day at the beach. We had our little pop up tent for the baby and he even took a nap in there for a bit. I had packed lunch from a few AHOD's, and we were set!

In St. Thomas, we have been "allowed" the use of two hotels for the day--Frenchman's Reef and another whose name is escaping me. We'll decide which to use after I speak to a friend who lived in St. Thomas for years. We'll just relax at the beach for most of the time, but we also plan to take a taxi tour around Charlotte Amalie and see what catches our eye. We may also do the tram on our own.

So sorry Jen, we didn't make it downtown yesterday. DH is trying to get ready for the Poquoson Seafood Festival next weekend, so we spent most of yesterday shopping and planning. His club runs the coffee/hot chocolate/hot apple cider booth, and he is in charge of it.

I was so looking forward to that Pumpkin bisque! Hope you had an extra bowl and a cranberry muffin for me.

Carolyn, my family and I are going on the 1pm G.E. Catamaran trip, and I'm pretty sure someone else is too! I think it is Tracy or Trish! For St. Thomas I would like to go to Paradise Point but will probably do that on our own, since the price is the same there, in case we just want to rest on the boat for a while, before our afternoon excursion...The Doubloon. As for C.C., we are just going to snorkel on our own and enjoy the day!

Yes, we are on the 1:00pm G.E. Cat...Can't wait!!

Tina ~ you are going to have such a GREAT time on The Doubloon. We did the Doubloon last time and LOVED IT! In fact, DH wanted to do it again because we had so much fun the last time we did it. I really just want to see St. John's.

Hey Debbie, we're planning on doing the tram on our own. We could hook up and decide what time to do it. Then you won't have to be "totally alone". We don't know at this point whether or not the girls will be going with us. That will be up to them. I would like for them to enjoy the sights and gorgeous view, but I'm not going to drag them along whining, if they would rather be in the lab/club playing with new friends.

 

[adisneymama]

Susan, should I cancel it with DCL then? Or does that matter? They didn't give me a set time when I booked it, should they have? I would love to hook up with you guys and do it. Sounds like fun. Hope your girls do go! I bet they would love the views and the bird show. Aubrey is going to go nuts when she sees the birds! LOL

Hope you are all having a good Sunday! Chat with you later!

I am so excited that we are getting closer, but gosh, I have so much to do!

 

[feenie]

I had a very productive morning! I booked the hotel we will be staying at the night before we fly to florida, Ordered our park hopper tickets, sent in the tux info for DH to get his tux for formal/semi formal nights, plus reserved our towncar for all legs of our trip! Gotta love it! If there is anyone else staying at the pop century, (and wants to get to the port for when they open) let me know, we got a van, since there are 4 of us plus luggage...

In just 28 days we will be at WDW, staying in All Star Sports.

Sounds like you have a plan going on there feenie.

PoohJen, is your DH still breathing. I've been worried about his delicate condition since the Jets WHOOPED UP on the Bills.

I'm sorry Jen, I really shouldn't tease. It is a bad habit. To bad I learned it from Sarah and Jeanna.((evil laugh))

 

[adisneymama]

Feenie - You are going to love Pop Century. We stayed there in May. We were in the 50's. Right by the lake! It was very nice. And the nicest thing was that you didn't have to walk all over the place to get to things. Also, the busses only stop at Pop Century! There is only 1 stop instead of multiple stops throughout each resort. We stayed at Caribbean Beach July 03 and while the room was bigger, (not by a landslide) there was a bus stop for each building and it took forever to get to the parks. Not a problem at Pop Century! Have a blast!

Ok, must go to bed now. Hope you all have a good evening.

Susan - sending your sign,,,check your email

Okay, I just read through the last 100 posts or so and I am starving!!!!! I need to find some breakfast!!

To all of you that have your docs, Congratulations!!! Ours will be sent to our TA so I'm sure she will call soon and let us know that she has them!! Woo-Hoo!!!

Ken and I really started packing this weekend!! We even went shopping to get him some new clothes since he has lost over 40 pounds since April! He is really looking great!!!

Have a Happy Monday, everyone!

I am taking the kids to see Shark Tale today!!

 

[adisneymama]

Morning everyone! DH is hogging the computer, so won't be on much! LOL

Have a great one!

 

[Hannosmom]

Happy Monday! Especially for you lucky ones that have the day off!

On Sunday, we finally went to Norfolk to see the Wonder in dry dock. I took some pictures, but they look like poop. PoohJen's beautiful picture is infinately better! DH is working on putting it on our site, if thats ok with you, Jen?

We did get to see Carnival Victory head out on a Bermuda cruise. It was really cool watching it pivot in the middle of the river to head out to the Bay. It is a huge ship! The Wonder looked kinda tiny compared to it, but much more beautiful, of course!

Only 32 days left!!!

If you had a choice of which decade, which would you choose? Mom and I are staying there for our first time. We have a rental car so I'm not worried about being closest to the bus....actually, come to think of it, we are doing Pleasure Island on the first night. Which of the decades is closest to the bus?

 

[adisneymama]

The 60's is the closest to the buses, food court etc. It cost a little more. We were in the 50's and loved it. All of them are great. We just chose the 50's because we could get a 1st floor room, plus it was ready when we checked in (we checked in early). The 80's were the funniest to me, because I grew up then. It just really depends on what era you grew up in I think.
