Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

[funnygarcia]

Love the little recap in your posts Melody

And yeah.. there was nothing wrong with the car. Or at least the dealership couldn't re-create the same problem. There goes $150 (tow and expenses to be checked). We call it our craptastic day, seemed like everything was going wrong that day.

Now it's good yet again.. slightly stressed but good.

Hubby came home with a smile and more happy work news.. yet another sign that he will have a job with this school next year. The principal asked if he was able to go to training (with his dialysis equipment), it's not set in stone yet.. if not this year (August) then next year.

The fun part..... it's in San Diego this year.

Hiya Everyone! Got back from the cruise this morning. So here's 2nd installment of trip report...

1. Carnival Sensation, recently refurbished so everything was shiny, new and pretty. Very nice ship.

2. Put my patch on as we boarded the ship. Still felt a bit queasy by dinner time, but able to finish eating. Didn't feel great the whole time I was on the ship, but not nearly as bad as last time. So obviously the patches did work.

3. DD starts feeling queasy after about 2 hours. Luckily the doctor gave me 3 patches, so put on behind her ear and she started feeling better.

4. WOW, do my trip reports always start with nausea?!

5. Had a fun time, explored the ship, etc...the first night.

6. Next day we were at Nassau. I booked the Dolphin Encounter and Aquaventure Swim at the Atlantis hotel. Very spendy, but oh so worth it. We are thinking next year we will bypass a cruise or Florida and just take a plane to Nassau and stay there.

7. Lazy River was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! It had rapids and was so neat. DS fell over on the 2nd set of rapids. I didn't do the Dolphin Encounter, so just took photos of the kids. They said it was the favorite part of the vacation so far. Spent all day at The Atlantis, so didn't go downtown shopping.

8. That evening DS decided to play at Camp Carnival kids club. They had a Late Night Party for the 9-11yo's that night. They brought him home at 3:45am! Funny, teens were in bed by midnight, but my 10yo was out all night.

9. Watched several shows, played bingo, hung out by the pool, etc...Just a very fun day.

Spending a nice quiet day at my sister's today. The kids would like to hit the Disney Waterparks, so I guess I have another destination tomorrow. So much for that relaxing vacation.

Hi Alison! I'm glad you had a good time, despite the nausea. Can't wait to see your pics from the trip.

Hi Pix! Just posted a few. I'm not in very many of them because I guess I was the official photographer. Anyway, we had a blast at the Atlantis. Just got off the phone to DH and after he seen the photos he said he wanted to go next year.

The kids said the dolphin encounter was the best. DD has always loved dolphins, seals, whales, etc...When they asked for the first volunteer she wasted no time running right out to meet the dolphin, Tracy was it's name. They have 16 dolphins that were rescued from Hurricane Katrina. The aquarium they were living in was destroyed, 8 of them washed out to sea during the hurricane, but they managed to get them back. They had all been born in captivity, so none of them could survive in the wild.

DD was just giddy with delight, this has been a dream of her's for many years, so it was so fun seeing her face.

Dolphin Encounter w/one of the Atlantis Hotel towers in the background. The bridge in the middle of the buildings is a $25,000/night penthouse suite. The inside of the hotel was awesome....Chihully glass fixtures, gorgeous statues. WOW is about the best word to describe this place.
