Transport me to Castaway Cay

Put a drink in my hand,
Then let me sit in the sand.......

 

[Hypermommy]

Chatting with friends
The fun never ends
Enjoying the day
At Serenity Bay

 

[glindamood]

Our turn is coming soon
And we will dance beneath the moon!

 

[glindamood]

As the waves roll gently past
We will sit and have a blast!

Come on y'all - help me out here.

 

[mousemom11]

Thanks everyone!

Laughter and smiles together wove
In the lounge chairs of the Quiet Cove
"No kids allowed!", we were heard to say
As we enjoyed the yummy drink of the day.

Sorry, no poet here.

Just came to let everybody watch me kick myself.
I wasn't going to pay no stinking 35.00 for a FE when I had a $3,000.00 sewing machine sitting around. NOoooooooooooo, not me. I'd just make it.
Instead... I just paid twice that for all the stuff to make it. {sigh} so much for saving money.

I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone on that one. Went to the quilt store and spend double too. Now I don't like the fonts on my machine and bought fabric paint. So much for the fancy machine making it easier. I guess I'm just going to smile and make a wish it will turn out.

Thank you, I feel much better some how!

That's too funny, unfortunately pretty close to true = except I got material for 2 for $30. However, mind don't LOOK as good as the $30 ones.

I know exactly what you mean! I figured I'd save money on my last cruise and make my own FE. And, of course, just like you... once I got all the stuff, it was more than if I'd just bought it.

But, the good news is all I need this time is some of the thermobond that I have somewhere here in the house (I'll come across it while packing I still keep hoping) and some of that printable fabric stuff and then I'll be good to go. So it'll be very cheap this time.

See..... all you have to do is take another cruise and that brings down the cost of the FE and thus by taking another cruise you save money.

See.... thoroughly logical.

(KC just loves it when my logic runs like that).

Came across this article today which I thought you may like:

Which got me to thinking...... As much as I'm longing to dip my toes in the surf at Serenity Bay, I know King Charming's Irish heritage (and skin) ain't gonna take to being in the sun that long. Mine won't fare much better, that's for sure. So now I'm wondering about a cabana rental. I checked the DCL website and didn't see where I could schedule a cabana right now. Maybe a massage but not just a cabana. Anyone know if this is possible or if they even have them? And if so, anyone wanna go in together on renting one over at Serenity Bay for the first day we're there? If we can get enough of us in there maybe it'd lessen the price to something do-able.

All I can say is that I wasn't thinking yesterday. Please oh please forgive me?

I'm going to give the other 2 a bit more time as they may be on vacation or something but eventually I'll change these to zeros so all the columns match. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME GUESS ABOUT YOU. If you're one of the ones left with a 1 in the cabin column but nothing in the adult/kid column please reply to the PM and let me know how to properly update the spreadsheet.

Sorry for your added expense, but you'll be proud of yourselves!!!


I guess I better hop on to EBAY-, cause I can cook,clean and all the rest but a DH must sew the line somewhere.

And irish Belle, where is she???? Still in bed-. You'd think she'd be doing her stairmaster by now, that is if she can find it with all the dust covering it

Then again, I had better sign up for a crash program in nutri-system or something.
My gut reads brewed in America

 

[xxcell]

Do we have a fav drink poll???

Mine is Rum Runner
Irish Belle is Bahama Mama


8AM and thinking about refreshments

 

[xxcell]

did u say cabana??? Sounds good, but never seen rentals, then again, never been over to serenity bay, but will be making a bee line this trip.
Are you listening my lovely children

Oooh, Belle! You hear what he's saying about you???? Want me to clobber him for ya???

Okay, one more wake up until I head to Orlando for the week. I've still got to get my clothes packed. Spent much of the week packing boxes of stuff the guys aren't going to need while I'm not here like my footed cake serving dish and other serving stuff. You know how it is with guys... I'm doing good if I can get them to use a CUP to drink from!!!!!
