Put these together rather quickly tonight but had to see them.

Thanks Roger! I missed these yesterday because I had to work. I just showed them to the kids and they all thought they were cool.

Could someone confirm when we can try for Palo brunch? Does anyone know if they had brunch yesterday going through PC? Thanks

Been a while since I checked, so I went on Airtran's website and my 5:05 pm flight is now 8:35 am

Anyone think I can make this?

Called Airtran and they switched me to a 4:30 pm flight.

I love that their confirmation and FAQ say they will notify me of any changes to itinerary as soon as possible. Guess they were going to notify me as close as possible to departure.

We're having a hassle free weekend. First I have to be at our daughters school to store (hassle free) the stage and props from last nights Wizard of Oz production.

Then it'll be time for some (hassle free) swimming, and (hassle free) sorting of the 1000 pics I took of the production.

There may be some (hassle free) possum hunting on Saturday evening.

Sunday will be a (hassle free) church service.

Then about 9pm (PDT) I'm going to hassle the darn computer

Remember your budget! Dont get carried away!

Yes they had a brunch yesterday. Deb wrote that in her blog.

notice that there are not many people on deck at this point.. it must be HOT HOT HOT

Can only imagine what it will be like for us.

Are you saying in here somewhere that the Beatles and the Monkees will be performing on the Eastbound Repo???
It's just not nice to start rumors like that!!

Didn't wan't to admit it but I told DH I was going to be taking dance lessons from Mario. I heard from a very high source not to believe who is the entertainment till on the ship.

In reading some of the onboard postings, many are complaining of being really sunburned and trying to stay in Diversions etc. One said her burn was blistering. Yikes Laura said she looked like a lobster. I will probably be one as well. Gosh the day is almost over. But it was worth it for the little camera time we had.

I remember back in the day ( 2005 ) watching my computer ALL DAY and wishing and hoping to do a repo cruise. I can't believe we are doing this and yesterday really got me excited about this cruise.

I had in fact been missing the moving monorail! Is that a double decker?

Thanks ! I thought I had read all the blogs. Must have missed that one. So how many people trying to get brunch on PC day?

I think its called a monorail jam, with two on one track.

The cruise is still three months away, Todd! It's not too late for one of us to send the pirate onesie, or bring it along to give to you . . .

Cheryl, in case you didn't get a chance to read Lauras blog yet , this is sfor you

So for dinner, we had East Meets West. I ordered the Golden Pineapple Cristobel (with Tequila Fruits Compote) as an appetizer which was really very good and had cantaloupe, mango and honeydew and pineapple of course. Then I followed up with Chicken Noodle Soup from the kids menu. That was safer. For the main course I had Baked Pacific Lobster Tail with Yukon Gold Potato mash, garlic roasted asparagus and yellow squash covered in shrimp lemon butter. BTW, we got to keep the menus. They are some funky tropical yellow which resembles the postcard yellow – it’s a bit funky. You’ll all see. For dessert I had the Pedro Miguel Sundae which contained coconut ice cream (really good!) fresh pineapple, Curacao liquer, whipped cream and orange macaroon. Not bad – my lobster was actually really good and big!

The monumental decision I am contemplating this weekend:

Elemis Aroma Spa Ocean Wrap with Half Body Massage

OR

Elemis Aroma Stone Therapy

Anyone done either of these and have any thoughts?? DH & I have only had the Couples Massage, but he thinks he can handle getting a massage by himself this time, so I want to try something new.

They moved it back by 11+ hours! That's insane. The didn't move your flight, they just randomly assigned you to a new one!

...off to check my Airtran return flight...

Hi M, I have done both . . . the wrap can be wonderful if you get the right person -- I had Ben last summer and he was great. The cocooning feeling when you are wrapped and the therapist is massaging your scalp and feet is wonderful! I have had the hot stone before as well, and may have just not had as good a therapist because I didn't think it was worth the extra money compared to a simple well being massage (but many rave on it on the boards).

 

[sk8ingmom]

Oh, and Tom...you ain't makin' an 0835 MCO flight.

Nothing new , no change there then!

No way,

on the repo cruise last time, it was the worst queues I have ever seen to get off the ship, at 7.30am when we joined it the queue was backed up to Promenade lounge and people were starting to queue around parrot cay entrance, lots of people had to much take off luggage which slowed down disembarkation.

Between my two cruises, I had him 4 times! I am definitely checking to see if he is on the Magic this summer . . .

Hmmm...which 1/2 body gets the massage with the wrap??
That's a real question! Is it the back half or the top half??
Or is it only the parts that are unwrapped??

I don't do this often, can you tell??

Good morning everyone. It's gonna be another hot day today. Yesterday it was 105

The boys and I are going to the chocolate festival this morning. Because it's so dang hot - it's gonna be more like the chocolate sauce festival!

Hope everyone has a good day!
