I found the beer tasting listed on the Navigator's listed on Barb and Tony's site. It says taste 4 British Beers for $8. That's all I know but will start thread on big board to see if anyone knows about this. I think it was listed on the 2nd sea day and also later in the cruise.

And thanks for the kind words. We are sooo realived.

Woody-
I am glad the little one is okay. I will say extra prayers for him. BTW- Rec'd a call from a friend in St. Thomas, it is 80 and dry.

I forgot to say two things in my earlier post:

1. No documents yet - even though I did see a UPS truck in our neighborhood yesterday. I am trying to be patient!!

2. WE LEAVE ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!! YAY!

I realized this weekend that I have a lot to accomplish in the next month. My husband graciously worked on a door sign for our stateroom yesterday. It looks great! He is quite talented on the computer! I will post a picture of it on our Yahoo site once I figure out how to do it. I have our cruise clothes pretty well assembled now. After my shopping spree at Wal-Mart this weekend, I think I have all the essential supplies for our trip. The next thing on my list of cruise preparations is to make our DIS name tags. I am still deciding how I want them to look.

Have a nice day,
Gayl

P.S. The weather in St. Thomas sounds great!

whytcrystal-thanks. Have you checked out the St. Thomas web cam at the link below so you can see your friends? What ship are they on and just think soon we'll see this in person!

What a relief for you Woody. Nothing can affect you like something that can happen to your little one.

IF my suitcases have room and I won't have to pay the airline extra on overweight baggage, I hope to pack beads.

Most of the boxes of beads that I had were thrown by DS at his elementary school last year. They had a kids' Mardi Gras parade in the gym. The kids were encouraged to make a "float". Most decorated their remote control cars, some had decorated wagons, some just dressed up. The 6th graders paraded around the gym, the little ones were lined up for them to march by. I got DS a crown and scepter and decorated a wagon. We filled it to overflowing and had backup boxes at the halfway mark. I gave him and one of his friends thousands of beads to throw. Everyone had a great time.

No documents yet(whine, whine)

Have any of y'all "experienced" the Suriel Bath...My sister swears by it and I was trying to explain it to my friend..

 

[bassoongirl]

Ms. Linda,

We don't have our documents yet either. The ship sails one month from today, so I hope they come soon.

I didn't realize until recently that Lent starts while we are on our cruise. This gives me a moral dilemma. Every year, I give up chocolate for Lent. I don't know how I can do that with all the wonderful chocolate desserts I've been reading about on the cruise!

Gayl

 

[christinou]

Gayl, I think that this is the year, where you need to give up something else for lent, like sleeping....

 

[jerseygirlinvt]

Our documents all arrived yesterday from Costco!I guess we're really going!

Kathy

 

[bassoongirl]

christinou,

That is a great idea! I can give up something like brussel sprouts (yuck!) or paying bills. I guess there are other things to give up for Lent besides chocolate! I do like to sleep though.

Gayl

 

[christinou]

Kathy, that is great..........
I am jumping with you....
Gayl, I figured that we have too much to do on the cruise to have time to sleep...

 

[Gina]

I can't believe we sail a month from today!!!

I hope everyone who is waiting gets their docs soon! And congrats again to those who have gotten upgrades... that's so awesome. Lisa, I really hope you get one -- here's some extra ~*pixie dust*~ for you!

Okay, I had so much I wanted to say, but work is nuts right now... I just can't believe we sail in a month!!

-gina-

 

[bassoongirl]

We got our documents!!

Yay!! I just got home from work and they were waiting on our front porch! I am so excited!

We didn't get an upgrade, but that is okay with me! Now, I must do the "Doc Dance" !

**dancing around the room**

Gayl

 

[christinou]

YEAH.....
And remember you can get updated up until the last minute. The cabins are really all great on Disney, they really are all the same size (exept for CAT 11), the difference is really the location, and the view, and verandah....

 

[woody64]

Gayl:Congrats on the docs. We are sending you some cold weather probably Fri as we expect a high of 10 tommorrow. We can't wait until 2/20 is here.

By the way, the thread I started on the big board has lots of info on the beer tasting.

woody

 

[Gina]

10?? What kind of high temp is 10??!

That's just insane... I feel for you guys...

-gina-

 

[woody64]

Gina:

Right now its about 15 with I'm guessing 20-30 mph wind gusts. I don't know what that makes the wind chill temp other than garn cold. Do they have wind chills in TX?

Gayl:

Can you see me boogie-*** down with you! Woohooo -- doing the doc dance with you!!



Hey Woody --

What kinda temp is that! T E N == our thermometer doesn't go that low down here! Its unusually cold but for us that is a slight freeze tonight with highs in the 60's tomorrow! Sending you some warm vibes.

Lisa

 

[woody64]

You people down south really know how to make a guy feel good. My dad winters in FL and complains when its in the 60's.

Lisa:at this point I'll take anything with warm in it. It's blowing so hard out of the north that pictures are shaking on the walls. Now I know why Chicago is the windy city
