And how's the shopping at the airport?

donno...we always go to the Cinnabun place and that's very yummy...lol... but we don't really shop alot...its good i've heard...but i don't do alot

Wow, you guys were busy today! I was at my regular monday crop, had a great time. We had to plan our Christmas party since I'm leaving early FOR A CRUISE!!!

We brought the shoe bag thing for one of our cruises, when we had the whole family. It really helps. We had 5 so everyone got their own little slots to put things in. We also had colored clothes pins to denote who had what towels. I can't stand to use someone elses towel, so I'm a bit anal about that.

We've never downloaded any pictures nor had them printed off on ship. I like to do my own, so have several large memory cards. I usually take about 500-600 pictures on a 7 day cruise. We also buy the packages for the ship photos. On our last cruise we had our service dog in training and got some fabulous pictures from them. Hubby bought everyone she was in so this time I hope we can save some money on photos!!!! I must have upgraded our photo package at least 5 times.

The Stack is fabulous for the teens, they will love it and you will probably not see much of them once they go off with their groups. I would suggest they also do the Wild Side thing on Castaway Cay. Lots of the kids do it. I have a 15 year old DD, she learned how to make friends quickly on the last cruise. The counselors are very helpful in that area.

i was never into the stack...but i'm not social so i prefer to just do all the technical stuff and tours and all kinds of fun things....and now that i'm an adult..it will be super cool!

There is a shuttle launch scheduled for December 7th...but there is about a 35% chance that the launch could be delayed as far as the 16th!! SO EXCITED! saw 1 shuttle launch from inside Launch control and i would love to see it from outsude.... just thought you all who are going early might want to make the hour drive to see that...It's a sight to behold..

I got a portable hard drive with slots built in for picture cards. I just plug the cards in and they download automatically, pretty cool really.

I'd like to get a family portrait this time, hope I can talk DH into it, but he hates having pictures taken so I don't know. We'll see.

May be easier to order closer to you . I do have customers all over the US. They are loyal. They move away but want to continue with me. If you want someone close let me know and I will find someone for you.

these boards are totally addicting!

 

[xmjackson]

Addicting yes!!! Hello I'm back. Badminton is over for the season. Coaching paid for all our excursions, so I'm happy I did it but it was exhausting after a full day of work.

Now it is spirit week at school. Tomorrow I get to dress like a LARGE, overweight pink princess for costume day. Can't say Halloween, oh, no. My sister sewed the costume for me and thought it would be a funny joke - I hate pink and I AM NOT the princess type but I have worn it for the last three Halloween's at school. Kids think it is hilarious. Next year a pirate!!! My sister, the sewer, made pirate costumes for the boat so I will have it for next years!!!! I am the scrapbooker so we exchange specialties.

 

[xmjackson]

OH, I do take lots of pictures. Like you guys I have a 1G card and it holds 800 pics. I used it for China and Greece/Italy last year. Almost filled it each trip.

Jen- do you have an underwater camera? I would love to have some pics of my kids and DH underwater! It will be their first time in warm water. It would make cool pictures. I was going to just purchase a disposible underwater camera and hope for the best. I do not dive put it would look great in the scrapbook. Maybe we can do some exchanges pictures for a scrapbook????

 

[DCLgodess]

yes i have a Sea & Sea digital...8 mp...its 1GB sd card holds 9000 pictures...sure i will get some doubles made for the ones you want..or just send them to you

 

[xmjackson]

Wow thanks, my husband has been diving for years. Inf act I blew up a picture of him underwater and framed it for his office several years back to remind him of vacations everytime he got his man period.

But kids are new to this - second pool diving tomorrow night. Nothing like teens on a halloween dive????

 

[DCLgodess]

jeeze..where is everybody tonight..the one night i'm not in tears everybody is gone lol..

 

[xmjackson]

I know its only 8pm but I'm beat. DS 14 is already conked out. I'll check in tomorrow when I am suppose to be working.
