Halloween 2011. Oct 29th on the Magic

[glindamood]

Happy Sunday everyone! Nice weekend here and spent time visiting with DS and his fiance - the wedding is next August . How is it that that all of my children are old enough to be married. Impossible!

DH and his Boy Scout troop are in the yard cleaning out the scout trailer - dogs are going bonkers, which in turn is making me but hopefully they will be done soon. DH leaves for scout camp tomorrow for the summer so it will be pretty quiet around here. With gas as expensive as it is, I won't go every weekend, that is for sure.

Our Magical Express tickets came Friday. Just blew me away. Delta could change our flights another three or four times but I guess that isn't all that important. I do wonder how we are supposed to use one ticket - when we land about 4 hours apart. Guess I shall call and ask but must not be that big a deal - we didn't even get ours the last time we flew in for a cruise and there wasn't an issue - other than we had to get our bags. Oh well, I have lots of luggage tags so no worries there.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Happy Sunday evening:

Well I guess I shouldnt say that...tomorrow is monday and back to work

But I just wanted to bring up again, if anyone is interested in doing a gift exchange at the meet party...let me know. I did this on past cruises and we had a good time with it.

Again, just an inexpensive gift...(around 10.00 or under) from our hometown...just throw names in a "hat" and pick....thats all...kinda helps to get to know who we have been chatting with over the months....

Let me know who is interested and I will keep a list of the names....

I have been working on my door signs this weekend...well I have been thinking about what I want done, then I have my son do all the work He is a grapic designer by trade...and since I paid his college bill, this is my payback he is never happy about this.....he already asked me a month or so back, if he had to make more door signs for me... ummmm yes....

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend...weather here was beautiful and are expecting a nice week...

later

Another participant for the hometown gift exchange here - might be more homestate'ish' but it will be something interesting.

Had a good rest of my Sunday. Babysat the granddog and his parents came and got him and then stayed for dinner. That granddog is back this weekend too as they are headed out again. I will see if I can't get a picture of all three of them and post it so you all can see.

Enjoy your Monday - thank heaven they only come once a week!

Happy Tuesday everyone! HOT here (by my standards) and muggy but I guess it is June so I will try and not whine. We leave 20 weeks from today! One would think I hadn't been on DCL in years when in fact it has only been six months.

So, take care and enjoy your day!

Hot here also 95 today....however, I am not going to complain either since we waited soooo long for warm weather...thru that aweful winter...so I am going to enjoy it

I havent been on a cruise since 2008....so you can say I am very ready for this cruise. Went on the western last time right after thanksgiving we were unable to tender in grand cayman, so I am hoping we can this time as I did not get to go there last.....
However, the best part of that trip, my girlfriend who went with me...we were at castaway, serenity bay, just laying on our hammocks soaking up the sun and all of a sudden she flips and falls off the hammock I minute laying there the next laying on the gound It was hysterical....but I didnt get a picture.... that was a good day!!!

gotta run

You are a lot warmer than we are - we are probably 250 miles north of Chicago besides being east. It is only in the 80's here but the humidity that we got yesterday after the rain is gone so not so bad.

And now everyone knows why I do not lie in hammocks as that is exactly where I would end up, face down with a mouthful of sand.

 

[MommaMouse411]

lol I would die laughing if that happened to me.

it'll be a long time before I make it out to serenity bay

It appears that I LIED (unintentional) as it is 93! And, I will whine, that is just too warm, unless of course it is accompanied by cool tropical breezes .

Good Morning everyone!
I know I saw this mentioned in an earlier post but does everyone already have their excursions planned for each port? I'm not 100% sure what we are doing yet. I think that we might do the Adventure park in Cozumel or Nachi Cocom. My DH and I did the Adventure Park excursion with RCCL and we really enjoyed it. My DD15 really wants to do a dolphin swim so that might be something that we do with her in Grand Cayman.

Hi everyone,

I have no clue as to what we want to do at each port of call. I have been very busy since I booked our cruise for this October but now I want to get with the program and start planning! It's just me (36), hubby (40) and parents (mom 70 - step-dad 68). This will the first time hubby and I go without kids (not our kids). We don't have any. So don't know what to do for just us and our parents (much older). Any suggestions?

I can't wait to book Palo. Yum!
