Morning Harry! And Abby, Ed, Kristin, Nikki, Tonya, Paula and Sharon...

Hi, Karen!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CustardTart]

Did, you make it yet Karen??!!!!!!

No, Kristin - I'm being as good as I possibly can throughout February so the Lava cake will have to wait till March!!!

I don't think that ever changes, Kristin! My eldest babes are now 25 and 22 and sometimes I still hanker after the days when they were young!!! Don't get me wrong, I loved watching them grow up and develop into the fine adults they've become but I miss those baby days...

I too miss them!!!!!!!!!

I always wanted twins as they run in my family BUT unfortunately each time it happened (1st and 3rd pregnancy), the second twin died very early on in the cycle...

OOh, gosh Karen sorry to hear that. When I first went for my pregnancy test they told me there was for sure more than one. Then at my first ultra sound they told me there were three but the third heart beat could not be found...!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!

I am sitting here feeling very sick and slightly freaked out right now. When we cruised last year I did a lot of research on what to do in each port. To me the DIS does not have a lot of information on this so I used cruise critic to do my research. In St.Martin a private tour with Beau Robinson "No Rush Tours" seemed to be the thing to do. Everyone posted great reviews, no negatives and he stayed booked. So I contacted him and was very excited to find he had my date open. He was always quick to respond and he seemed very friendly. To make a long story short we ( my sister, Zane, and I ) did end up touring with Beau and we had a great time. He shared a lot of information about the island and the way things worked etc and we never felt uncomfortable or unsafe. Since the cruise I have not been back to the St.Martin boards since I have no intention of going back anytime soon. Well a couple of days ago someone posted on here about things to do in St.Martin/St.Thomas and I responded with information about Beau. Well thankfully someone else responded and said do not use him and posted a link. Well I checked it out and I am in TOTAL SHOCK There is so much information out there and no one is 100% sure what the truth is but evidentially on Nov 7th it was released that he had suffered a heart attack and died and some man named Bodo Muth has taken over. Turns out Bodo is Beau and he is an EXTREME white supremest etc. If interested in more of the story you can check out cruise critic under the St.Martin boards. So I guess if nothing else I haver learned you can NEVER be too CAREFUL. I am also really worried now about any excursions Zane and I will do, I guess if anything we will book something offered through DCL. I just keep thinking about what could have happened.

Tonya,

YOur right you never know what can happen. I hope your feeling a bit better??!!!!!!

and I won't tell your secret!!

 

[Zane_Anthony]

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...

Pretty funny now, I couldn't imagine actually being there.

aboard, Ashley!!!! Nice to have you with us...

Ooooh I love secrets - when are you planning to spill the beans???!!!

 

[gann.d]

I am having a hard time not telling them now!!!! I am thinking of telling them on Valentine's day. Make it into some kind of game, see if they can figure it out. Anyone have any ideas??? Would love to hear them!

I'm hopeless with secrets - just a great big serial blabber, I'm afraid!!! I'm keeping a biggie from my DD (and DH who thinks he is the secret) at the moment concerning our May trip but fortunately she doesn't live at home so I've found semi-avoiding her works quite well!!!

Good luck!!!

 

[gann.d]

Too bad I can't just avoid....that would be great. The kids are easy to not tell, it is my DH. He knows something is up, but doesn't know what. He is the hard one!!
