Thats fantastic Monica! Good luck!!!!!

Monica, are you wearing shorts for zip lining? I bought capris for this because of the harness. Do yoou have any experience with this?

Sounds like a good idea! Guess I better pack mine.

 

[radioclash2]

They are actually bermuda shorts, so almost as long as capris. All the videos I've seen of various zip lines, everyone is wearing shorts. I was originally going to wear capris, but then realized that I wouldn't want anything to happen to the ones I'm bringing. I found an inexpensive pair of bermuda shorts made out of board short material. I figured if I sweat (or get too scared on the zip ) they will dry quickly. And since they were only $7 (Walmart) I wouldn't care if they got ripped or overly dirty or something.

bermuda's make sense. I'm thinking those harnesses chafe. And I'm picturing the sweaty person in the 12:00 zip before us. No offense to the sweaty people.

I think us fellow Leos did take over the boat!!! Mine is the 30th and Arlene and Laura are also Leos.

Add another leo to the mix

Please don't cancel Cabo, please don't cancel Cabo, please don't cancel Cabo

OMG I couldnt agree more. DH was so bummed on the 2005 Repo Cruise about missing Cabo - I think that is the port he is looking forward to most.

 

[Reenieny]

I have so much to pack since we are going to be in LA for a week before the cruise.. How do I get all that in a suitcase??lol I really think I can get away with one big suitcase each and 2 garment bags.. gowns, suits tuxes.. Oh my and the shoes..

How many pairs of shoes is reasonable to bring. I think I have to take 6-7. HONEST!!!

Thanks!!!!

So in our packing this weekend, DH pulled out his Speedos.* Yes plural.* Once upon a time (HS & college) he was a swimmer.* Smart add put three Speedos in his packing pile.* I looked at him like .* He said he was bringing extra in case any of the swabbies want to borrow one.* Altogether now - EEEEEEWWWWWWWW!On oh so many levels.

I'm pretty sure that Kevin will pass on the offer!

 

[radioclash2]

Oh no! (on the clothes too small)
You should bring the pirate shirt anyway- someone could probably wear it! Unlesss you have a younger kid to pass it down to and have it too big for them but still wearable? LL
I hear you (and if it's lazy- so what! LOL) -it was always more $$ but it was easier!

Hopefully, I'll get the new pirate shirt in time for the cruise. If that's the case I plan to use parts of the shirt for something else.

If the new shirt doesn't get here in time... and you see a kid squeezed into his pirate shirt lookin' like a sausage... well, just smile & wave, smile & wave.

 

[radioclash2]

I didn't realize we were doing naked zip lines??? At least our feet and eyes will be covered.

it's OUR eyes I'm worried about

Knock 'em dead, Monica!!!

 

[radioclash2]

cool We could set up a little BeDazzler sweat shop in the Promenade Lounge

Good thinking

Kids gotta earn their passage somehow.

 

[radioclash2]

Summertime in San Francisco....we can always tell the tourists....they are all wearing shorts with their recently bought SF sweatshirts.

(note to self...)

 

[dahuffy]

That is my 39th Anniversary.

HAPPY 39TH ANNIVERSARY ARLENE!!

 

[radioclash2]

Sorry to hear that.

Trevoy is sick too. Unfortunately it's more than an upset stomach. He's leaking at both ends. He's still in bed. Trying to get him to sleep as much as possible.

He's missing a day of summer school. They really frown upon missing any days since it's such a short time. This is the last week though and he's been doing well, so hopefully this won't hurt him.

You should let them know there's botox for that.

 

[DisneyMom13]

HI,

There was a great suggestion in Chat - that although we weren't able to get a Palo Brunch = what about all of us havng lunch together at Parrot Cay?
Our Brunch was to be on 8/23 - how about having Lunch the same day??

I'll pm the 24 Brunch Wenches'. Are there any other Wenches' interested????

What do y'all think, Wenches??

Count me in Chris.

[dahuffy]

Crash, I have to ask if you are in CA. I can't help but notice how everyone in the pictures at the playground has jackets on. People who have been to CA in the summer tell me that it will be different than here in NC in August but I never imagined anyone needing even a light jacket during the day in July.

Thank you!

 

[radioclash2]

If I'm ziplining naked, I think you need something stronger than sunglasses to cover your eyes!

Cabo's doing the naked zip... we're fine in PV. Naked people freak out the monkeys.

Best of Luck Monica!

I have a 22 month old and a 3 (almost 4) year old, as well as an 8 and a 10 year old. So...we're trying to do some fun things, in addition to some educational excursions. Right now we're planning on the Harbor Cruise & Scenic Drive in Cabo, Dolphin Encounter at Sealife Park in PV (on our own)...the nice thing about this one is that kids as young as 1 can participate and kids under 5, I think, are free with their parents...plus there is a water park which is included with your Dolphin Encounter price, in Acapulco we are booked for the Cliff Divers but I really think we're going to cancel and join the walking tour to the Fort, Deluxe Cartagena & Fortress with Folklore Show, and De Palm Island Beach Getaway in Aruba.

Kim

We have a 13, 10 and 6 year old and will be doing the same excursions as you in Cabo and Aruba. Like you, we were scheduled for the Cliff Divers, but cancelled to join the group walking to the Fort.

It was hard finding excursions that the whole family can do. We are doing ziplining in PV after Tom showed me this past spring that they allow 6 year olds. At Cartagena, we're doing the Best of Cartagena tour.
