Amanda, I'm so glad she is o.k. She's such an angel.


****I just noticed, we're under the 200 day mark!!!!******

Mel, I hope you feel better real soon.

Shots: I was terrified every time DD had to have her shots, luckily no problems with any of them. I did get her the chicken pox vaccine, because being a nurse, I have seen people end up in the hospital from the disease.

We have never had any other immunizations and have eaten island food. I probably won't get any for this trip.

Andy: Congrats on your move! Someday, we will be down there too.

Belated Happy Birthday Melinda!

I just went over to DCL web site and there is a CAT 11 inside stateroom available for a little over $4,000. Just an FYI.

Just think Andy---you'll soon qualify for Florida Res. rates for DCL!!!! Plus won't have to purchase airfare to get here!!

I know, I have been thinking about that already!!! Yes, only a 90 minute "drive" to the port. We have someone that is interested in our house, and it hasn't even gone on the market yet. Heck, I didn't even get to talk to my boss, that will happen in the next day or two.

Just got back from the movies (saw "The Phantom of the Opera" - a 10!) Anyway, dh pointed out a poster that showed a movie they made about us, The Sisterhood!!!

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Even dd had a chuckle, said "Mark" must have written it - Mark you're even famous with the kids on this cruise due the the stories told by their parents, lol!

Off to do grocery shopping will catch up on our thread later. Mel, hope you are resting and feeling a bit better!

I had no idea Mark had another job.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a teenager thing. The girls I think. It was on my DGD Christmas list. Along with I think 5 follow up volumes. Just thought I'd mention this.

There is a Hard Rock in Acapulco. We can eat there. Personally I am not adventuresome about food. So will probably stick with what is served on the boat.

Andy that is great news. Hope everything goes well. Are you going to the meet in Allentown in July? You might still be in the "Garden" state then. Lots of luck with all of it.

Now that the excursions are out, I have been looking for maps that show the places in relation to each other and to the port, and I thought maybe others might be interested in this as well, so here are some links to useful maps that show that places names mentioned in the excursion information:

I'm going to copy your post and put it on the thread that we started for port information. Lots of good stuff!

Thanks Val!

Very useful!

 

[kmiles]

Oh, and before I forget, I just wanted to let everyone know that someone very elusive finally posted his picture.

I'm sure we can all guess who that "someone" is!

 

[winotracy]

kmiles is that really Mark? Can't believe it!

 

[paulcrsb]

Mark - Nice picture!

Paul

 

[kmiles]

Well, it was sent by Sandra so I'm guessing it really is him, Tracy.

 

[Luv2Dream]

That looks more like Tony.....than Mark.....I guess that's Mark's new name...Tony the Tiger!

Here's one more of Curacao that I like even better:

All of them print best in landscape mode, but this Curacao map is large, best on 11x17 paper.
