*Wednesday August 27 2003*
It's tough being an early riser, when the others in your famiy are not. Anyhow, I woke up at 5:15 this morning, did not want to take the chance of being late for the Immigration check-in this morning. I am sitting here on the verandah writing my trip report notes, as DW and DD are still "snoring" away inside the cabin. As I sit here I can see St. Thomas in the distance, the lights of the island are glistening on the water.
Just arrived back from the Immigration check-in, we were there early, so we were back to our cabin by 7:20. I went down to the Internet Cafe for a few minutes, as DW and DD went back to lay down for a while. The six of us are scheduled to go to Sapphire Beach at 9:15 this morning, but it doesn't look like all of us are going to make it. My DD is sacked out and doesn't want to get up, my Dmom is worn out from the extreme heat and humidity, of walking around St. Maarten the day before. The remaining four of us head to our meeting location and are headed for the St. Thomas Beach Day excursion. We had a very nice day at Sapphire Beach, the water was crystal clear and warm. I couldn't believe that we were in the water for 1 and 1/2 hours, when the call for lunch was made. We were served a nice buffet meal along the beach area. We left Sapphire Beach around 1:15 and headed back to the ship. I saw three other DIS'ers and their families on Sapphire Beach today, they were Mindy (pickles61), Diane (allshookup), and AnnMarie (aa4mom).

Before dinner DW, DD, and I went to see "Pirates of the Caribbean" all three of us really enjoyed it, I would not recommend it for younger children, but we enjoyed it!!! After the movie we headed to Parrot Cay for dinner, tonight I had Prime Rib, it was so tender, I could get spoiled very easily to the meals they serve on the ship!!!
After dinner DW and I, along with my Dniece took a stroll, and came across Donna sitting at her desk. I informed her that I had not received the call about the prices for the August 2004 cruise. She looked at her papers and said she had called because there was a check mark next to our name. Donna also said, it was possible she called the wrong room, or if my DD was in the cabin, she probably took the message and forgot to tell us, that happens at home all the time!!! We put our deposit down for next year's cruise going to St. Thomas, San Juan, and CC (this time at CC I will leave my glasses on the shore, more about that in Friday's report).
It is nearly midnight, and yes, I am writing my notes out on the verandah again, it's so peaceful and quiet out here, but I need to get ready for bed, we have our DISmeet Brunch at Palo in the morning.
