Never been big on flying, did it in my younger days, but with all the hassles now with security and the fact I like having my car down there and having 3 weeks of vacation driving is much of a problem.

If I only had a week I would fly even tho I hate flying

Hi Ed
We're driving down from NYS. I really hate flying - mainly because I'm a horrible packer. LOL.
Does anyone have recommendations of what to do in Tortola? I looked at the trip reports but didn't see one yet for Tortola. I know we're going to do the jet skiis in CC but that's all we have planned yet.
More snow expected tonight. We're already losing days of the kids spring break.
Night!
Jude

In 2005, 2006 & 2007 we took the autotrain down and drove home.

The Autotrain was ok when Caitlin was little but next year she will be 12 and the train is losing its luster with dw and Me

Haven't driven the full distance south since I was a child over 40 years ago

When we drive home we normally take i95 -i26-i77 -i81- i84- rt7

Thinking about south bound i95 to rt 301( Bypassing DC and Northen VA ) to i95 - i4

Sorry for the kids' winter ills, everyone; hope they all had a good day of rest!

While a little snow would be nice now and again, DH and I don't miss the shovelling! Baseball practice started back up today for DSTwin1, but it had rained so practice was at the cages today. Still, in 40s today...brrrr.

Soooo....how do y'all know what the Tortola excursions are? Are they listed on the DCL website? I don't even know my confirmation number!!!! Yikes, I better find my receipt...

Have you found any reviews for the Tortola excursions?? I haven't but I'm still trying to navigate through all the pages on the various links.
We're not sure about how much to schedule at each of the stops. We tried to do too much on the first cruise - we want to relax a little more on this one. (although my DH and DS said they "have" to do the jet ski trip at CC again!) But I'd still like to see some of the islands and have fun. If anyone has any recommendations, please let us know.
Thanks!!
Jude

Hi! Can I join you guys? My name is Lisa and I'll be on this cruise with my husband and 4 kids (and 12 other extended family members). I booked it a year ago and peeked at this site then, but tried to forget about it since the cruise was so far away! I can't believe how much you guys have chatted since then! You guys must be best friends by now!

I guess I'd better get started on passports for the kids and lodging in Orlando for a few days before the cruise!

Do I just need to send a message to caitlinsdad to get added to the list?

Thanks!
