I do agree '' buyer beware'' on Cartagena Columbia, we went on a Princess cruise there, and before we called there we went to Jamaica, My wife purchased a diamond in Jamaica and an Emerald in Cartagena Colombia, she is a very careful buyer, asks lots of questions, drives the shop keepers mad.

Anyway the Diamond ring in Jamaica was valued in London's Hatton garden, at a very good price, and it was a good jewel.

Even though we were told we had a good Emerald in Cartagena, we were told by the expert in Hatton garden it had too many faults and was not worth the money, and they would sell it cheaper at home.

That's what I'm worried about Andrew. What was the name of the store that your wife bought the emerald from ?

Driveby posting - literally - I'm on the monorail !!

Happy disaversary to all my pirate friends.

DH finished the marathon-got his Mickey medal. It's raining, but we're having a blast.

Hi There M..........

Glad to hear you are having a good time!!!

Just saw the Freezing at PeeWee Hockey commercial, and thought of you...........

Now you are asking, it was recommended by Princess, I remember it was in the modern part of the city, ''Pierino Gallo'' you went up a couple of stairs in a marble square building, I will have a look.

I think it was Columbian Emeralds, I know diamonds international were there, and they are everywhere in the carribean and more reliable.

Princess said not to shop outside the Pierino Gallo area, if going by taxi ask for that and insist

Remind me not to go there to purchase an Emerald!!! I am not sure if I am adventureous to walk down the streets in Columbia other than an excursion by DCL.

I think St Thomas on the Eastern DCL trips is best.

Thank you for asking hope you are well as well.

Had a bit of a chat on this thread with Julie last night,

Headaches are still there now and then, but slightly better, Blood pressure last week was 145/90, so high but had been 158/95, this is cuased by Steriods, I am on a diet, so that is helping, 7/8 pounds off in first week, staff will check me on Monday for this week.

I am seeing various doctors over the comming weekes starting Monday 21st, they are checking everything nearly at the same time to see the reason for my blood disorder.

DW, is good, thats the first Christmas in three without any problem, so that is good.

When we went to St Thomas on our 10 Night Southern, I spent lots of money in a camera shop on lenses because they were VERY cheap. If ou remember, I then had them stolen on our last night in WDW after the cruise.

Puerto Vallarta
Zipline Pirates​

Just got an email that the 11am trip is FULL as well as the 12pm tour. There are other folks on the boat that booked awhile ago. So, Plan B I told them that the 1pm tour would be OK. Is that acceptable to the rest of you pirates?

I got the same e-mail Roger. I went with the 1:00pm. It looks like it is booking up fast.

Note to self, never start discussing excursions just prior to run.

 

[radioclash2]

Not that we will have much money to shop by then - YIKES!

The other thing is how to get from airport in LA to HoJos at 10pm on Wed night - taxi or shuttle?? Any suggestions? Then, how to get from Hojo's to port on Sunday(with ALL our luggage - YIKES). Is there still someone looking into bus transportation? I wonder if DCL would consider picking up at Good Neighbor Hotels? Any help with this would be great! THANKS!

I'm in this exact situation.

 

[mkygrl]

Hey Roger

Congrats on the puppy..what a cutie pup!

Any names discussed for the pirate puppy?

[mkygrl]

Hey Lisa

There are people looking into a bus from the HoJo's (and DL area) to get to the Port.
