Water drinker here.

Not much into sodas BUT when I do imbibe....I'm a Pepsi girl. Oh and I like a tiny bit of coffee with my sugar and cream (or my sweetened condensed milk ).

I am new to the diet coke addiction. I had no idea what I had been missing. I also love coffee too. I am an equal opportunity caffeine addict.

yes i'm a java person in the morning too...
nothing like legally sanctioned addictive stimulants...

I hope you make it in time. If I was going to be there on Friday I would offer to make the grocery run for you.

Thanks so much, I appreciate the offer! One way or the other, I'll work it out.

My son is a Mountain Dew addict but he will drink Coke. He's so bad I had to ration his soda and he begs me when it's all gone. He's never liked water and his only healthy drink of choice is chocolate milk!

I had to give up soda when I joined Weight Watchers So, now my caffeine comes from Ice Tea.

Bumping for an answer. Tracy, do you know of any places that do this?

When I saw this excursion, I thought of you!

YOUR OWN SCENIC UNDERWATER BUBBLE Oh, my goodness! This dive shop is a well-oiled machine. Everything has its place and everything is there....including the set from "FLIPPER". We wondered when we arrived how this man had designed such a quaint "set". We found out that he didn't; he chose to keep it after the movie moguls left with the dolphin! It is fun to see.

First of all, you and your fellow pilots will receive a submarine orientation. You will learn how to drive this machine--just simple operating and communication procedures. You'll even try one out on land to familiarize yourself with the easy to use controls.


After that, you will board a 55' support vessel that will take you to a beautiful reef, one of two stops you will make. The custom-built motorboat will lower your SUB into the water. All you need to do is pop your head into the large clear bubble helmet and sit down and - you're off!


The battery-powered scooter travels at about 2 knots and will hover between 20 and 25 feet, tethered to a float on the surface and controlled entirely by you. Sealife will surround you. You will have 45 minutes actual "driving" time in your personal sub.


While 1/2 of your group is riding their personal subs, the other half will have the opportunity to snorkel (snorkel gear included in the price). The total boat trip lasts approximately 3 hours.

This is a perfect adventure for the safety conscious. There is no heavy equipment or weights on your body. You are submerged with four full-time professional divers and having the time of your life!

Sounds like snuba, but I don't know. Looks very interesting.

Just read your latest blog entry, Tracy...sounds like you're having the time of your life.

Yeah, yeah. Rub it in!

Gosh Gustav on the left Hannah on the right, I'm surprised the Castaway Key waters were calm enough to dock! I've been on a cruise where we couldn't dock and it was alot less then two hurricanes in the area.

That looks like so much fun!
Now Shanan and I have to decide if we want to do that, or go to Atlantis, or stay on the ship... too many decisions to be made

 

[DVCsince02]

It looks AWESOME!

You have given me something to think about. I know when I tried SNUBA I had a small panic attack and it took me quite a while to get going. The excursion people were very understanding and helped me to really enjoy it. I wonder how I would react to these things.

There will be sunning and drinking by the pool if that is more your speed!

Now that sounds more like my cup of diet coke.

 

[aGoofyMom]

Since I am trying to catch up and pay more attention around here I thought I would jump right in. I have no idea when we will arrive. I just sorted out my schedule for next year & I am looking at what I will have for vacation for the cruise. (I don't work "regular" hours but that means one week of vacation = 12 days!)

I know we plan to stay at the Dolphin ahead of time...and after...I may have to change that depending on my vacation days...

I need to start looking at excursions...what to do...maybe with school starting I will have more time...I haven't even watched my planning DVD yet!

This being my first cruise, I think I'll be pretty much on the ship with C/Kat, doing the drinking/sunning thingy. I may step ashore in Nassau, just to say I've been there, though...then turn right around and get back into my lounge chair.

 

[disneyholic family]

if kevin and john lead us on a trip to the atlantis casino, then i'll get off the ship in nassau, otherwise it's stay on board for me !!

That's my plan too! We're still undecided as to whether or not to get off of the ship at all in Nassau. DH wasn't terribly impressed with the "floating gift shops" that we stopped at on our cruise last year (St Thomas and St Maarten). The non-touristy stuff was pretty cool and I loved the beaches, but the shopping wasn't terribly impressive. Well, unless you had the $$$ to splurge and buy jewlery. We did buy booze at some really awesome prices, but not much else.

We may go and check out Atlantis, but I don't think that we'll be out and about on Nassau all day. I would much rather hang out on board the ship!

 

[lttlmc3]

We aren't too sure about getting off the boat either. I'm glad to see we aren't the only ones.
