Hey Mandy, Yes i enjoyed eating real food that day so i guess i will have to work harder at losing it now...lol. Unfortunately i am working tonight with LTL..woohoo..how i can't wait she is such a ray of sunshine.

Heather, Jeff wanted to do the jet ski alone as well but they won't let u it is only offered with the guide. He didn't bother to do it because of that.

O.k. i am off to the grocery store will catch u all later.

Ahhh ok thanks....I guess we will probably just relax the second day at castaway cay I guess its ok considering that after that day we will be running around Disney World like little kids lol....We also heard a rumor that massages and things are less expensive if you book them on board is that true???

 

[mandymouse]

Hey question since I know some of you have been to Castaway Cay before. Could you rent a Jetski there other then the tour that they have as an excursion. Like we want to just be able to rent one and go our own way is this possible???

Sorry I can't help you with the jetskis Heather, all I do is relax, eat and drink on Castaway Cay

Have fun grocery shopping (yeah right )

only once have I seen discounts for Spa services and that was on a seven day cruise on the last day When the spa was not busy. So if you want a massage you should book it now. Have yu heard about the romance at sea package. You would get a gift from DCL , turndown service one night(Rose petals on your bed)Champagne Bkfast in Bed, Dinner at Palo and a couples massage at the spa. We did this a couple of years ago for our anniversary and I believe it was reasonably priced ( At least less then booking them all seperate) Call your Wedding coordinator or DCL direct and see if you can get a deal.( I love Weddings so I always read your posts)

See you soon

I think they have changed the romance option from the massage offering to:

Priority Seating at Palo
Bottle of wine from the Premium Wine List (one night)
Tropical Rain Forest pass for two at the Vista Spa & Salon (length of cruise)
Romantic gift amenity delivered to your stateroom (one per package)
Romance turndown service (one night)
Champagne breakfast in bed (one morning)


I wish they still offered the massage, it was a great value then.

Suzanne...

No I haven't got the dive plans finalized because all SIX of the dive shops I've contacted haven't responded... one did, then when I wrote back to reserve something they didn't respond again.

I'm fed up with it. I figure we'll go swim with the dolphins when we get there so we don't have to be the cruise excursion's exhorbitant fee AND we'll be able to actually ride um and stuff. Alana would LOVE this, of course, and so would I although we have fed um, petted um and hugged um in the past at the same place.

Anyone else gonna go to Paradise Island er whatever it is and play with the dolphins?

Hey Guys!

Sorry I was MIA today.. Trying to get all of our Toronto stuff squared away.. Hotels changed, train tickets changed etc.. In Mandy's words I am knockered! It doesn't have the same effect as when she does it.. So I guess that makes me a dork!

Mark decided he wanted to make quesadillas... We still haven't eaten.. I am STARVING!!!!

More FE stuff came today. I really need to get it in gear now.. Between Boston and Toronto the time is really going to fly. On the bright side, both hotels have Free Wi - Fi! so I will be able to check in!

I was hoping some of you would be around tonight.. Oh well!

We did the jet skis and had a great time, but if you are used to riding your own, you will probably feel like you are on a pony ride. They do let you go fast, but you have to follow the guide. They pretty much take you to a sand bar off the island and then back.

How cool to swim with the dolphins Pam, I hope you enjoy it again

I don't think we're going to get off the ship in Nassau, I think we're going to chill, eat and drink there

Hey Jen,

LOL, it's knackered not knockered It sounds like you've been busy making all your Boston and Toronto plans - and no, you're not a dork

Lucky you having Mark cook for you. I think I'd faint if Paul attempted to cook for me

I think the next few weeks are going to fly by for you with all your rushing around - have fun sorting your FE stuff

I hope I'll catch you later today

Good Morning Best Bahama Mama Friends

I haven't got a very exciting day today. I'll be taking Becky to 'work' and then going to see my mum and getting her some groceries (yawn )

I think I may start trying some Cruise clothes on later, just to get me into my holiday mood

Have a lovely day everyone

 

[sarahsmom73]

I am a dork!!!! Knackered!!! Can't even get it right when I want to use it!

 

[LaurieWDW05]

Good Morning all!

Well, so much for my diet this week - I am a stress eater (as well as a boredom eater) - anyway, I am seriously busy at work w/some testing and stuff for the guys - something that I introduced to the boss 3 months ago, he said we didn't need it right away, let it go.. found out this morning that - IT HAS TO BE DONE BY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, needless to say - I have to work my butt off in here today - take it home, work on it tonight, Ant's party tomorrow, work on it some more and cross my fingers I can get a lot done so we can still do the Franklin Institute, and continue w/it at night on Thursday if needed and PRAY it is done by midnight on Friday - will it get done??!??!?!?!?!? I hope so, but now I have to cram 3 months worth of work into 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So - by the weekend I ought to be 'knackered' - (did I use it right? Sorry Jen)

Anyway - I might be scarce for a bit, so forgive me - hope all is well w/everyone!!

Laurie

Aww Laurie, no wonder you're knackered too. He couldn't of picked a worse week to have to get all the work done in. I hope it doesn't stop you enjoying the party tomorrow and your day trip out

I hope you get the work finished soon, so you're back chatting with us

Take care and I hope everything works out over the next few days - we'll miss you

Good Morning everyone
Didn't get a chance to post yesterday, busy trying to clean my house a little during the day and then haley had two games last night in Oswego which is about 30 miles from here. It sounds as if everyone is really getting into the swing of summer and getting really busy. Just think in less than 6 weeks we will all be getting ready to relax and have a great time!!

I loved the pictures of the twin meeting!! Looks like you had a great time!!

Jen~ it sounds as if you are on the right track I can't wait to hear how it all works out. I think time will fly by the fatest for you as you have all these little side trips to go on.

Pam~ it sounds as if the dolphins will be the way to go for you and Alana. I wouldn;t want to dive with a company that can't get back to me either. I really think we will just be staying on the ship.

Diane~ maybe our girls will like the clubs better this time who knows it doesn't matter to me as they have so much fun doing other things.

Mandy~ have a great time visiting your Mom and of course grocery shopping ,everyone's favorite Is it nice there today? It is a beautiful day here today and I am hoping to lie around the pool all day!

I know I missed alot and I apologize

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Morning Baham Mama's,
Mandy, Have fun drivng around today..lol..i wish i had some cruise wear to try on... I am holding off till the end of the month to get some new things. Hoping i will be a size smaller by then..lol.

Jen, Jeff doesn't make anything but eggs..lol..his only specialty.

Sandy, I sent you the form but you haven't responded to my request..lol.

Laurie, Sorry work is gonna be so stressful the next couple of days.. Men are such idiots they put off everything till the last second. (sorry bahama mama husbands)

Suzanne, Cleaning instead of dising...what is wrong with you?

Hey Suz, ooh lucky you sitting by the pool, now that sounds like my kind of day. Kerry came with me to my mum's, which was a nice surprise for her. The weather has actually been nice today, but I've had a bad stomach ache this afternoon and couldn't face sitting out - and no doubt it will rain tomorrow Enjoy your lazy day

Hi Michele, I couldn't be bothered to try clothes on in the end, maybe tomorrow I want to start packing too, but I'll have to wait a few weeks for that

I hope you'll get a great surprise when you try new clothes on and realise how much you've shrunk

LOL, it always makes me smile when Jeff is off, and he wants you to do some cleaning, I think you should escape to the beach before he suggests clearing the attic again

I hope you have a nice day

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Woohoo..the neighbor just came knocking and needs jeff to replace their water heater..no cleaning for me today. I am off to get some groceries and then maybe the beach. have a great day ladies.

Hey guys I wanted to pop in and say hi but I have to make this quick.

We had baseball last night and baseball again tonight.

My parents have some Amish friends over visiting and they are waiting on me bringing the boys. My parents have known them for about 10 years. They own a furniture company that my parents have bought a lot of furniture over the years from. They have 4 kids and wanted to meet my boys and swim/play with them. My dad had to drive to Lancaster this morning to pick them up seeing as they don't drive and it would take forever for their horse and buggy to get here. I have a black one piece speedo I'm going to wear and hope I don't look like a street walker next to the wife in her suit. I'll bring my camera but I doubt I'll be able to take pictures because they do not allow their faces to be captured willingly and I don't want to offend them. They are just so cute in their little straw hats and suspenders!
