YAY! Getting closer...
), and Dad and DH are going to do stingray city (hubby and I did it when we were on our last cruise). In Cozumel, we are all going to Chankanaab - DD and DH will do the dolphin discovery while the rest of us go as observers (neither of my parents are interested, and DH and I did it on our last cruise). I can't wait to see the reaction on her face - she'll either love it or be terrified of the dolphins - hopefully she will love it! We're hoping to have a lazy day at Castaway Cay - DH and Dad are doing the parasailing, but the rest of the day will be spent with no particular schedule - we've booked package with the bikes/snorkels/floats, so we'll see how the day goes. Our daughter will have a blast all day long (she can't WAIT for the kids club!), but our son still naps in the afternoon, and it won't be worth it to skip the naps!
Mom and I are looking forward to some R&R, but "the boys" are looking forward to some of the more adventurous activities, so we will balance it all out. We also booked all of other reservations (Palo, etc...), so I am thrilled to have that taken care of - just counting down the days! I actually read about a great idea for counting down the days to a trip - we made paper garland with a number on each "loop", and each morning the kids get to take off a loop - it counts down the days until we leave, and it fits in very nicely with the Christmas decorations! 
The chain is getting shorter and shorter with every day that goes by!
Well, I am about to have my last week of classes for the semester (law student), and then a two-week finals period. I'm not Christmas-shopping until the weekend before Christmas, thanks to that.
But, as you can see, I have time for DIS breaks!!
I am sooooooo looking forward to this cruise, which will be my spring break (yeah, we have our break early). I've now made reservations for Cozumel (Nachi Cocom) and Grand Cayman (Native Way- Rum, Reef, and Rays).
I'm sure you'll be able to get brunch. We had no problems last time! Got lots of snow up here in Canada and windchill of -21C, OUCH! Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to the cruise that is quickly approaching. Being a newbie to this cruise, we were just able to book our reservations this morning and were able to get everything we wanted, with the exception of brunch at Palo. Do you think we have a chance if we check when we board or it there a waiting list?
Thinking of warm caribean water to keep the chill off right now.
I'm bummed because my parents are spending Christmas with us, and they're hoping for their first white Christmas in years. So I was hoping to have a good base of snow built up in case it doesnt snow closer to the time. But it's gone now.
