That's a shocking story, Tonya and you must feel absolutely horrible! I really don't know what to say - it's just so disgusting that a person like that should gravitate to the Caribbean. I hope the authorities ship him out - tho' goodness knows he could just relocate somewhere else and peddle his crap... Fortunately you, your sister and little Zane remained safe and I guess that's something to hang onto. Stay with DCL excursions, hon - it seems even in paradise, you can't be sure who you're really dealing with...

Very True It's just all soo strange, but then again I found that entire island very strange. Definitely not a place I have any desire to return to, on the other hand I loved St.Thomas so I was very happy to find this cruise in which I could return to St. Thomas but skip St.Martin.

No, I'm a very classy laydee plus my outfit didn't have a matching purse and I wouldn't want anyone to see me like that...

I know!!! I would've loved to hire someone - especially as one of my laydee dogs (I'm thinking Dinah the Dalmatian, she's an awkward mutt) had relieved herself underneath the giant trampoline!!! And there was no way I was crawling under there with a poop bucket and a scooper...

Oh, we're back to trampolines.... jumping on a trampoling with a bucket full of %$&*$...... "A day in the life of...."

Good luck, Nikki! Lately I've been tracking airfares from London to Orlando for December as we have the NYE Magic cruise booked for 7 of us and it's turning into a complete nightmare as they're so expensive! I checked it all out for the same dates last year before we booked and the prices were OK - now they seem to have almost doubled and that's pushing it way out of our price range. I honestly think we'll end up canceling as it's proving such a headache. I don't mind for me, DH and my own kids - it's Matty's girlfriend I feel really bad about as she was so looking forward to it...

Are there any other options that might be cheaper, but more of a hassle?? Like flying from England to JFK or something and then taking a different flight/airline within the US from JFK to MCO? One of our friends from England, employed as a soccer coach and on a very tight budget, actually flew Air India!! As you might imagine I had a ton of comments; however, she said the booze was plentiful and fabulous! He then switched in the US to Southwest or something.

Oh - I've got a "you had to be there story" for one of these that's related to language/cultural difference between our countries....

In Philadelphia these are the "Duck Tours". They drive tourists all over the city and then splash into the Delaware River for some more sights. They hand out these kazoos and the tourists blow on them all over the place (think the scene in Sixteen Candles when the bus is going down the street w/ the kazoos blowing away!!).... Anyhow..... we're were there last summer with our English buddy (showing him the historical sights - which was an event into itself because of the whole American Revolution thing...) and every corner there was someone hawking these duck tours.

We're approached by this young woman, kazoo in hand, and she gives her pitch to which our English friend replies, "no thanks, but I'll take a pair of those hooters".... he was referring to the kazoos.... she thought something else and nearly decked him!!! Me and my boys almost wet ourselves and he went into apology-mode!!

Funnier if you were there I know...

I have been stalking the airline websites (discounted and regular) for a while and there's the odd flight that does something indirect but everything's in excess of $1000 return!!! Unfortunately our dates are fixed and inflexible as the 5 members of our party that are gainfully employed are restricted with vacation days and Samuel has to be back in school on Jan 5th...

I've explained the situation to all concerned and they've all been fine about it - bless them! Obviously I shall keep looking for as long as possible but IMO the outlook isn't great...

Ahhh the migrating Lesser Spotted Brit Male - such a subtle and refined character... Often heard crying, "Please Miss, can I have a pair of your hooters!!"
