[Mjasp]

Lyn...I can't believe it, I was just telling the story about my DD yesterday, you didn't have to play..."can you top this" LOL It can be damgerous when you are allergic. But you will be everyone's favorite person on board, I mean with the pain killers and all.

I am trying to get through this week unscaved (sp?) This was the week last year where everything went wrong.

 

[pattiteach]

That sounds good, I will be at the meet after the drill.

I live in Citrus County Florida Which is about an hour north of tampa on the gulf of mexico side. You know where Hurricane Charley may hit ugh!!
Hope they all (huricanes)stay away on our cruise.

[missinshadow]

Sorry i forgot to answer you (<- me lately)

We are driving in on Saturday. 16 of us. It would be great for your DD and my DS to get together with the other kids. He hangs out with everyone. He's an only child so he's happy when others are around he has cousins coming but he's the youngest by a few years so they will probably do things he can't. He will be in the lab about half of the time.

House is getting crazy now that we are so close to crusin'

Feel very sorry for anyone with tooth problems, especially during a cruise! Anyway, just wanted to say that I had dental problems on our Western cruise last year, and needed urgent treatment. No dentist on board the Magic, but was directed to the new Medical Centre in Cozumel. Although it's in a dodgy area (take a cab: too far to walk) it is bright and very new. The treatment was first class: I was seen and treated within the hour, and was back at Carlos and Charlies in time for lunch with DD (CM). While at the MC, we saw a vast number of crew from other cruise-ships who needed medical/dental treatment, so it is well-known. The Mexican dentist spoke little English, but the nurse did: on my return to UK I saw my own Dentist, and he said the Mexican guy had done a first class job!

While I hope NONE of you require treatment on your vacations, I thought it may just be of help to anyone, should they need treatment. Happy hols to you all. Nat

Stay safe and let us know how the storm hits TAMPA area...
I have my family in KW and they had to get boarded up. They sent the family an email telling us the conditon at KW. This is their first full yr down there, so new experience for them. I guess the gov't wants the bars to close at 10pm so all the town drunks will be home when the storm hits. I guess this is a normal thing for the bars to stay open and last out the storms,,,lol

Welcome trinibjill We are a great bunch of poeple.
Mary Rose: did I tell you my son is 11 as well and love SCIENCE and all that fun stuff... he too plans on being in the lab all day..
Lynn : are you feeling better?Natdrenco: Thanks for the great advice. I will have to tell you guys the story of Busch Gardens Water Country in Vir. and my husbands broken face after colliding with my head on a water ride... Talk about a BAD vacation....
Doreen

 

[SeaSpray]

Welcome, trinibjill


I hope everyone stays safe from this storm. Jason and Travis, how are you doing? Doreen, I hope your family stays safe!! In 2 weeks I guess WE will all be keeping a very close eye on the weather!

Hi all--

Thanks for all of the well wishes. It's a pretty ordinary night here in Tampa Bay so far. Well, ordinary for us at least. The St. Petersburg Times is reporting that Pinellas County (us, Clearwater-St. Petersburg) and Hillsborough County (Tampa) are under a Level C Evacuation. Between the two counties the evacuation covers 800,000 people.

Travis and I went to get some supplies earlier today and the stores were packed. I don't think there is a gallon of water or a single C or D battery in the county! Luckily, we were able to stock up on cat food and human food and a few goodies from ABC Liquor. (Anyone want to join us for a hurricane party?)

Here's a picture of the "water" section from Super Target taken earlier today. Notice the, um, lack of water!

The roads were jammed much earlier in the day but things have died down quite a bit now. Pretty calm and quiet as far as the weather goes too. Generally, we always see really nice conditions when a hurricane is out in the gulf. They tend to suck all the moisture out of the air which gives us a break from the humidity we're so accustomed to! Very quite out there now with no wind or anything.

I guess they are predicting that the hurricane will make landfall around 2 P.M. tomorrow or so. Travis gets the day off as everything is closed and boarded up around here.

It's funny because with all the news surrounding the NJ Gov. the storm has been pushed to the back burner on the main news sites! Well, at least here in Tampa Bay we think the storm is a bigger story!

We'll keep you guys updated!
