The Fantasmic viewing sounds good, let me talk with jeff

 

[kpros]

The Fantasmic viewing sounds like fun, but we are heading home right away.

Fantasmic Viewing sounds great count us in, either one. We have done the balcony but that was quite a few years ago. GC concierge might be able to help.

What a week this has been, mega busy, I doubt if I will ever get caught up. The comp time is great, which means less vacation time needed. I gotta get more than 4 hours of sleep a night, will try to catch up tonight after the dog walk. Dog walk should make me feel more human. Start a SCUBA class on Sunday.

 

[JenKatt]

Where does one SCUBA in Wyoning in the winter? Ya know I don't want to know.... just to darn cold.

 

[Scott H]

For the open water dives we go to a place just out side of Park City Utah called Homestaed Crater, It is a warm spring at about 96 degrees warm. Other dives this time of year it's dry suit and cut a hole in the ice. Heck I use the dry suit here even in the summer. Class pool sessions are at out local rec center. waiting for Lynn to get home, I might tell her about the wine and cheese meet.

 

[JenKatt]

If anyone wants us to, there is a Florida Winery here in St Pete. They have odd ball wines like grapefruit, orange and strawberry wines... here's the link http://www.floridawine.com/ I can pick some up to get us in the mood for something tropical...

back to the passport thing... I can check for sure with the State Department, but I think you need one for Curacao.

 

[BobandLee]

Bob- I'll race you to the Hammock! I called DCL and they told me to pick a flight anytime after 12!

Kim

First I had to race Peter to the hammock, now I have to race Kim. Maybe I'll just concede before we get to CC.
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

I don't think cruise passengers really need a passport for Curacao HOWEVER as others have stated I would get a passport anyway. All that time out of the country, should something unexpected happen having a passport will make your misery a whole lot happier.

We don't want to make a lesson learned for the eastbound repo cruisers

 

[JenKatt]

Per the consulate, it is not required but highly reccomended. But again, as I've said since day 1, IMHO you would be nuts to go away to forgien countries for this long and not have a passport....

I vote that we "take" the balcony... after all .. we'll be experienced Pirates by then... Arrgh! Plus .. the desserts sound so much better! Like we'll NEEEEEED desserts after 14 days on the Magic...LOL

 

[Scott H]

Jen is correct the Florida wine is very interesting and I think pretty good, I really like their Mango. It was featured during the Food and Wine Festival at the Florida kiosk.

Balcony would be preferred.

I also strongly vote for getting the passport, for the aforementioned reasons. Trust us have we ever steered you wrong.

I can see it now a starting gate at CC for the great Hammock Dash of 05. And we all can say we were there.

Off to the salt mine,

Hey, ya gotta come down slowly from the cruise - no need to go cold turkey!

 

[JenKatt]

There will be more adults on sugar highs this cruise than kids I think

SWEET!Sorry, just couldn't resist...

 

[Scott H]

IS IT 5:00 SOMEWHERE, YET!!!!!!!!!
It has really been a fascinating, fun, rewarding,very busy week at work but the aforementioned says it all.

Jen and Kara, we could start a SHA group, (Sugar High Anonymous).

 

[seaulater]

Robert scubas, he just needs to get a replacement PADI card. The application has been sitting on the counter for 3 months. Maybe this will get him going! I'll talk to him.

Linda

Kara And Scott

I think Shari and I would be up for SCUBA at CC if they offered it. We are currently planning to do the watercraft tour but I'd vote for SCUBA if it was available.

Ken

 

[seaulater]

Sounds like us. Parents are flying in with us on Friday, but haven't made ressies yet. Guess now that the 10 day is over, I need to get moving since I only have 127 days til I am on another vacation.

Linda

We haven't booked a place yet, because my parents haven't set their plans yet. They will be flying in separately and probably early. What they do depends a lot on the health of my Grandmother over the next few months, so where we stay and what we do on Friday is a bit up in the air right now.

Wish my parents were obsesive planners. I would feel so much better having locked down the plans. We may go to WDW or we may try to go to Universal. We haven't been in a long time, and if I can find those darned passes that we still have one day left on, it will make the trip a tiny bit less expensive since we have no WDW admissions left,
