Pam,

I just noticed something on the Cozumel Ruins & Beach Tour. When I reserved it in March, the time said "12:00 pm to 4:30 pm" - now it says "9:00 am to l:45 pm" (which sounds much better!)

When you booked that excursion, did you notice the times? I'm wondering if there were several of these tours and now they've narrowed it down to just one or what?

I check our reservation every couple of weeks just to make sure things are still there!!

Yes Laura -- I did notice that last night

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Hey, I am a Veteran -- when did that happen????????

 

[BWVPam]

Hey Laura -- I really do like the earlier time. gives a litle time to do other stuff and still get back in time for us for early dinner. With a 9 am start time, I think that will put us off the ship early in the morning.

Hello all. Another lovely day here in NJ, although I missed most of it because I was at work (temp job). And now I'm DIS-ing at my neighbor's house while I listen to their kids snore over the monitor. Babysitting... or, as I like to call it, birth control. Reminds me why I would not like to go back to babies and diapers.

In the shoe rack department, we just use one. And last year, I actually only used it in the shower to hold onto all the bottles, razors, and other things that don't have a home in the tub.

One thing I got that I will NOT do a cruise without, though, is a "sweater organizer" to hang in the closet. I used that instead of drawers for all of my foldable clothes and it was fantastic!

Really, I did not know that - how insenstive of me....

Honest, I keep reading about the split baths - it should have a disclaimer you know......for broom closets

Cat1-Cat12 We're all on the boat!!! And that's all that matters to me...

Now, never having been in anything higher than a cat11 - I really don't know what I'm missing... now, if DCL would call and offer a 1-3 at no extra charge I really woudn't say "no, thanks..."

I bet they changed the time when they changed us from leaving Cozumel at 10:00 pm to 5:30 pm. I guess it's important to them that we all get back on the ship in time.



YEA! A T.O.P. with Laura!!

I'm still waiting for my Cat 1 or 2 call. Let me know if they call you first, so I can quit waiting by the phone.

OK, I recently asked a question about dining and if the boys had to wear pants to dinner. So, it was taken the wrong way. Those cute little bodies with those little butts are cute without pants on (tidy whities though), but not at the dinner table.

What I meant was - do they HAVE TO wear pants or can they wear shorts to dinner? It would be quite breezy if the pants were left in the room. We'll leave that attire for the pool.

I think they need to wear pants, there is a sign that no shorts for dinner, my son has always worn longs as I don't want the evil eye from the other passengers

 

[justmestace]

I guess I have to plan a meal for Easter, don't I? I was hoping Jay would go to the cabin, and I'd be off the hook.

Maybe steaks on the BBQ.

Fine, I'll buy a ham. Probably too late to order one from the Honeybaked Ham Store, huh?

I'm just doin' a little work towards that post goal............

I've read some of those shoe threads.............What are your opinions? How many of you have Crocs and/or Keens? I was at Dillards the other day and they have Crocs - they had the flip flops and the clogs with the holes. Actually I think they had the solid clogs too. They were all on one particular display area. I was walking around and on one of the tables they had a Croc Islander (I think that was the name). It was more of a shoe - had the holey type base and kind of a boatshoe type top - the leather across the instep with the leather shoe lace. They were cute in a funny kind of way. I didn't try them on. They, as well as the clogs, seem like they'd be hot. I also didn't feel like dealing with a salesperson - I hate that the shoe dept is on commission. I feel bad trying things on unless I know I'm going to buy. I shouldn't feel that way...... Do the Crocs provide much support? I need arch support. My feet are wide as well - seems like the Croc's would be good for that. I've been a birkenstock girl, but since I broke my foot a couple of years ago I feel better in my tennis shoes (side support). I did try on the Keen Newport H2 today at Sports Chalet. They were quite comfy for that short amount of time. I'm not too sure on the width - I couldn't decide if they'd bother me after awhile. I looked at the men's 'cause often they're wider, but they are higher on the side and I was afraid they might rub the ankle. I should have tried anyway. So, enough rambling! I guess I shouldn't have had that caffeine

Everyone was saying the airwalks were more comfortable, DD and I tried the airwalks and crocs at sport authority and decided on the airwalks, they never had a great selection of colors so she got black and loves them so I went and got a pair too and again landed up with black.

i bought crocs the other week for our trip down to WDW last week. I wore them every day and they were great. Not hurting legs after being on our feet all day long. They werent too hot, as the holes in them help ventilate your feet. I just got another pair to wear to work.

I went on line last night to see if i could arrange for the 2 day rental for tubes and rafts at CC and the site was down.

So how was every one else's day? We slept then went to look for dresses for dominique. She has sprouted up like a weed these past few weeks.

Let's hear how Coachpug cooks his prime rib.

I'm always looking for something new to try.

Similar cooking time and Temp, but differnet seasoning, first cut small slits in the meat in put in whole cloves of garlic, as many or as few as you want...then take spicybrown mustard and cover the meat, then take fresh grated horseradish and put over the brown mustard then cook.....that is if you like a little spice with your meat...and it keeps the vampires away

Pam,

I like the earlier time too! I wasn't thrilled with the noon start, but that was the only time showing as available....... glad it was changed. This will work out much better!

I'm not sure, but I think we will be in Orlando for Easter. Sharon's family is down for a weekend training at WWS complex. Matt is going over for the weekend.

Now, if I could just get rid of Lisa for a few days.

I'll try the mustard trick. Have not done that before, but have heard it was good.

Whoa! I hadn't noticed the departure time change! Guess that would have been cutting it a bit close!

[BWVPam]

Stacey -- I totally missed that about leaving Cozumel at 5:00 p.m. guess I didn't see it, but I sure did see the one about us leaving for the excursion earlier.
