On Nassau we are going to the Pirate Muesum and then just hanging on the ship

and on CC we are gonna just play on floats and snorkel and enjoy the beach

we so just want a relaxing no pressure vacation.

So tell me again why you are going with ME??? I don't do relaxing and no pressure! I am going to be draggin your butt all over the ship


I forgot that we are also going to try to hit the Pirate Museum after lunch at Nassau.

Hey I have a question? I was wondering what a fish extender is?? I was reading other discussion boards and they were talking about them .

They are basically fabric hanging pockets that you can use to leave notes and presents for others outside your door. Let me find the link here for you. I know I have it on my subscribed list.

Here is the link: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1219607 Lots of great photos and instructions on how to make them. You can also buy them on ebay sometimes. Here are some on ebay: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=fish+Extender&category0=

We are doing the ardastra gardens tour in Nassau doesn't start until 12:30 or soeting like that, so in the AM we are going to check out a few things in Nassau.

At CC we are doing the 9AM stingray adventure, then snorkling and relaxation is on the list--though DS may want to do a banana boat ride as well.

Our sea say DH and I have brunch at Palo and some time in the spa.

I have a drag everyone around kind of personality, so the relax thing is really out of my element. Hopefully I can just suck it all up and try the relax thing.

Sounds like you and I have a lot in common! I am bringing a few books that I have been trying to read so that will be my best relaxation source. But there is so much fun stuff to do that I am not sure if I will even get to them. I am not much for sitting still!

that is how we normally vacation
at full tilt
but this time I wanna try something new
not sure how it will work

 

[lovetoscrap]

I figure that I am doing the full tilt thing for the week before the cruise so I should be exhausted and ready to relax by the time we get on the ship!

 

[patsal]

I will be ready to roll on the cruise with my three days of R&R scheduled for after. I packed a book for the cruise, but I have a feeling I'll be "silly girl, book took up space in your suitcase!" In any event I can read on the plane. I'm always up for something new--I could be easily convinced to "sip the pretty drink" and then all heck breaks loose with the plans

The beauty of the DIS obsession--you'll never be all alone!

 

[lovetoscrap]

I thought that I would post this here for anyone else that is driving to the port. I am sure glad that I read it last night cause I probably just saved myself a ticket!

OK ANOTHER REMINDER FOR THOSE THAT FORGOT OR STILL HAVE A HEAVY FOOT.

AS SOON AS YOU PASS THE CRUISE SHIPS AND START TO COME OVER THE OVERPASS, TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS LIKE RIGHT NOW - there is a patrol car that is going to make sure you go from a higher speed to a MUCH LOWER ONE. Just before you go over that overpass to the other side, the area is being patrol super heavy so if you don't want an invitation to our courts, SLOW DOWN ;-)

ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE A FINE - DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT CARRY ANY GLASS CONTAINERS ON TO THE BEACH - YOU DO AND FOUND, ITS GOING TO COST YA $100.00 RIGHT OFF THE BAT and you could have brought a few gift basket for that amount ;-)

OK thats all the warnings for today
always
Shirley

Dear Shirley, Thanks so much for warning everyone about the patrol car just waiting to catch an excited cruiser anxious to start their vacation. We got 'caught' on Jan. 19th exactly where you described. We were excited to see the ship, see our family, start our vacation and I needed to use the restroom. The last thing we were thinking about was how fast we were going. It cost us $91 and a 3 hours driver safety classs to avoid points against my husbands license. Please, please, please watch your speed limit and don't start your cruise like we did!

There are a few patrol cars there every single day and the minute you go over the pass, its TOO LATE - you come from a 55 miles to 45 to 35 within seconds of coming to the pass and over it. Each time I go by, I see a few cars pulled over and everyone just about has an out of town license or you can tell from kids in the car, upset folks that they are not from this area.
You are fortunate that your fine was so low for it is usually a lot more.
Anyhow thanks for jumping in and explaining it is a true fact besides that, we don't anyone hurt coming to or leaving from here.
always
Shirley

Thanks for the warning, I'm sure that would have cost me money!

I am staring at all of the different suitcases and am
suddenly feeling overwhelmed with the packing. Like
it's a test or something!!!

How much are you guys packing for the trip???

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[lovetoscrap]

Don't ask me! I have 6 suitcases and 6 misc. smaller bags and that doesn't include the 2 bags my DH will pack for himself! But ours has to last for 2 weeks!

For the cruise part I have 2 suitcases, 2 beach bags, a bag with our toilitries and a carry on backpack for the girls and I. DH will have probably one bag. I pack by putting all of our clothes--complete outfits including unders and socks-- into individual ziplock bags. This makes it easy for me to see that I have one outfit for each day for each person. Then I roll the bag and get the air out and seal it. These are all in one suitcase. The other suitcase has our dressy clothes and our Pirate night stuff and some of the misc. stuff we are bringing like an outlet strip, an over the door shoe bag and our door signs.
