I think you just convinced me to book some spa time on my cruise! I think it was the photo of the hot tub with the ocean in the background that did it too!

Jackie, there are always OT (if you mean Occupational Therapy) jobs in MA. I am called weekly by companies looking!!! (I co-own a PT practice in RI, sorry can't hire you.)

BTW, great TR, we have been reding each line, gleening any info possible to do all the things we want in Jan. 2008. So keep it coming.

Thanks Cheryl....I am an Occupational Therapist...I am hopeful that I will find a job without a problem! I am a manager here in MD and have had 2 full time OT openings for over a year!!

Glad you are enjoying the TR!

Hey Vicki!! We are all well. The kids are having a tough time with the move thing. They are getting more excited but are really sad. I know they will be fine...it was so hard telling them!
How are all you guys??

 

[RoyalVizier]

Alright, I fully admit that I'm still obsessing about that corn dog. Where did you get it?

I don't remember seeing those anywhere last year!

DAY 4- Tuesday St. Maarten

First, allow me to back track…I forgot some stuff from Monday! (sorry…turned 40 on the cruise….brain cells are shrinking!!)

First, and most important! I found this picture from the Margarita/Tequilla tasting!! (I think I have spelled Marhgarita different each time I spell it???)

[/IMG]

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ bout!!!

Monday night we also had our “ROMANTIC” turndown service as part of our Romantic Escape Package….we divided up the romance to the kids bunks as you see!!

Before...

After....


Okay…..Let’s jump back to Tueday!!

Also, as part of the Romantic Package, we got to pick a morning for a “Romantic” Breakfast in Bed. The package included all kids of hot food choices that aren’t available for regular room service! The night before, amongst the rose pedals….we had our check off menu to pick from. We all chose a few items and Tuesday morning our poor room service fellow brought us 3 tray of food! We had eggs, bacon, Mamosas (kids had cider) bagels, fruit and more!!
We all sat on the bed, spread our our feast…..and spent quality time together……..WATCHING INVINSIBLE ON THE TV!!! Okay, not what I had envisioned, but the movie was really good! Gotta love “THE ROCK”.

I was the first one dressed and ready so I headed up to deck 9 to check out St. Maaren. I took some great shots….including this one with a rainbow…can ya see it????

[/IMG]

While wandering around….I catch sight of a guy on deck with a Pal Mickey ….Getting closer…..the guy looks like Will Smith (one of my fantasy boyfriends I might add!!) I knew immediately it was Jerome from the DIS !! I run over….and I think scare the crud out of both Jerome and Rick…but was very excited to meet them both! See, Jero…I meam Will, popped onto the Happy and Laid Back thread before the trip…told us to look out for a guy who resembles Will Smith and travels with a Pal Mickey…And, I’ll be darned if he doesn’t look like Will! We crossed paths a bunch more times during the trip….HEY GUYS!!

After talking with Rick and Jer…I mean Will for a bit I headed back to the room to gather up the family.

[SIDEBAR~ I may have mentioned this before….but one of the awesome things about the DIS…is meeting others before the trip! DH was skeptical to say the least about “your crazy friends from that Dis thing”, but even he admitted it was so great to have friendly faces to say hi to and bumping into my “crazy friends” during the trip!! He was the first to ask if “anyone from OUR group” would be re-booking for the same cruise we were!!]

[/IMG]

We headed out and grabbed a cab ($4 pp) to Divi Little Bay. I highly recommend the beach! They have chairs and umbrellas to rent ($5 each for the day) food to buy and showers. The resort even had some activities for the kids. We got there around 10am and hung out until about 1pm. Headed back to the ship (cab stand right at the resort) for lunch and some pool time.

[/IMG]

I really enjoyed port days on the ship! It was much quieter and less crowded!! Both DH and I have been to St. Maarten and St. Thomas before…even though we had mental plans for St. Thomas….after spending the afternoon at the Pool on Tuesday, we decided that we may just stay on the ship Wednesday!! (my birthday by the way!!)

Hung and ate by the pool most of the afternoon…….HEAVEN!! Decided to hit Topsiders for Lunch. This was the first time believe it or not that I had been there! DH and the kids had breakfast there while I was fighting the foam at the spa.

So again…some Pixie dust!! Here we are eating lunch….before long we are chatting with the family sitting behind us! We probably chatted for about a half an hour before I notice the couple’s daughter’s name on her wrist band…Mary Theresa……..I flash back to a post on the HandLB thread……..”Sister Mary Theresa” I ask (actually I think it was more of a shout!!) TAMMY!! Yup, Magicbound2007…sitting right behind us!!! It was awesome!! DH just shakes his head…….he is warming up to it by this point!! It was some great to meet Tammy and her family….again, our paths crossed multiple more times throughout the cruise!!

DD trying something new!!

DD reacting to something new!

That night was Pirate night! SO MUCH FUN! We had our Pirate shirts on and got our picture with Jack Sparrow (okay…he is a tad creepy!!) I was inspired by Pirate Night…I hadn’t ….please forgive me….seen any of the POC movies up to that point……BUT have seen them since!! One on board and one at home….

[/IMG]

DD started to bottom out by the time the deck party started. Was freaking out that we couldn’t find Lily…but hung in until the fireworks (which were incredible!!). We did find Vic32 and clan on deck 10…they pulled the kids in to the railing so they could see the goings on and DS was in heaven to be with his BBF (best bud forever) Jacob. DD and I heading to bed after the fireworks while DH and DS hung out for a while longer!!
Good times….good times!!

Can you say...screen saver?? [I wouldn't show my ugly feet to just anyone you know!!]

Up next…
It’s my birthday..it’s my birthday….

[DeloreanGirl]

I have a confession....what was once a spontaneous trip picture has turned into a Trip Tradition Picture (always need a pedicure before a trip!!)

If I had more time...I could probably find more feet shots!!

 

[chepic]

Those are perfect scrapbooking pictures if I have ever saw them and Greaatwhite and I are going to copy you....if you don't mind....so that we can put them in our albums!!! I have done feet shot in the past, but never with the drink....most excellent shot!!
