I hate tendering thats why I booked this cruise knowing we do not tender at all, Tortola has a good long port.

I am sooo sick.......Wicked throat infection, fever, HUGE blisters all down the back of my throat and no voice.....UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of and PD coming your way for a quick recovery !!!
Take care , laura

For your throat try hot milk with RED WINE before bedtime ...
Or warm milk with honey during the day ; IT WORKS !! I'm often with no voice at all - as teacher I speak a lot !!

Oy! It's 6:30 here - 9 1/2 hours into DS16's 12 hour party. Did I mention it is coed??? Nice group of kids, the idea is they play video games, cards/board games and watch videos all night (Matrix, and - believe it or not - Finding Nemo as a joke, but I saw quite of few of them drawn to it), try to stay up all night. I don't ever remember agreeing to this - he must've buttered DH up something good! DH and I stayed up in shifts to supervise; translation: DH is asleep snoring, while I'm up supervising. I laid down some, but no way was I going to fall asleep! Got up at 5:30 to make an egg casserole, in part to have an excuse to stay close to the action. Luckily, it stormed here last night, so they had to stay indoors - easier than having to watch them both inside and out! Right now we've got RockBand going (I love that they all sing the lyrics - albeit poorly!), a heated video game involving war games, and I do believe a few are perusing a childhood Pokemon collection.

Nice group of kids, no problems at all, but I think it will take me all weekend to recuperate (and, Kristen, my throat is hurting now too!).

So much to catch up on here! Am working from memory, hope I get this all right:

Kristen, hope you are feeling well!

Jude, hope you had a great trip and safe trip home!

Mel, many many pages back, I think I owe you a hearty congratulations on milestone weightloss? I managed to lose all my winter fat - ie, holiday fat starting from Halloween through Valentine's Day! Thanks to a stressful week, lost a little bonus weight too! Now, I hope I can keep that off!

OH! Now I remember what reminded me of y'all today - I got my credit card bill from paying off the cruise balance!!! YIKES!!! I almost fell out of my chair, wondering just what the heck I had charged!

Okay, 2 hours 10 minutes till end of party. Must remember to use this night as future guilt-inducing leverage with son.

zzzzzz....

LOL - no, I meant it was sore from lack of sleep - I'm an early to bed-type person, get worn down pretty easily from staying up too late. But nope, doing fine, hope you're feeling better too!

Hi all,

Well the weather was kind to us and not a drop of rain fell on Izzys party! She had a wonderful time as did we as some of our very best friends came with their children and we ate LOTS of food, chatted, played and BBQ'd

PoohJen, I hope the 12 hour party was a success and that you can now get some much needed rest!

Funny, I have nver been into Door signs or T Shirts but my kids have been looking into this recently, being inspired by others we have seen on the ship.

FE is ruled out due to luggage restrictions from the UK, I have never been a fan of that, but know many people are very creative.

Last night was the heaviest rain I have known this year so far.

We are going to make a few door signs and I am doing the FE but our gifts will be light weight due to luggage!

It is tipping it down with rain here now which is a pain as I have been doing photos for a friend in our make shift studio in the shed at the end of the garden and got soaked coming back!

Nevermind, at least it was dry yesterday for our party

Yes flights, luggage, even car hire, mean restrictions on what we take, everything has to be justified, I expect we will take four large suitcases for 21 nights, with our clothes being cleaned at the villa half way through just after the cruise.

So FE is often ruled out due to this, albeit on the Panama crossing, kind people still put things on our door, as they knew where we were.
