July 18 2009 Tortola - Part 2!

[jlawall]

I know that someone requested that I send them the FE list. I can't find the post. Can you send me a PM if you wanted the FE list via email (Excel spreadsheet)?

Also, for those of you that I have already PM'd me for a copy - I will resend it after July 1st (our cut off date). I'll also have some extra copies with me when we all meet.

Thanks and sorry!

Just a reminder to the lurkers.........if you were interested in joining the FE list.......we are closing it on July 1st.........one week from tomorrow!!

Ramule, I do think I heard that they change the tastings a little, but basically the same. I am definately going to do some this time. I am looking at the beer, margarita and martini. Which ones for you?

 

[noahsmom]

would you rather a PM or to just bring the copies onboard?

Some people had requested the list before so I thought I'd send it again when it was "finalized". It's not a problem. I can do either or both.

Those are the ones that we were thinking of doing too!

 

[WVMD]

The margarita tasting are different. I believe that the wine ones are different too.... I would assume the beer ones are different - but I don't drink beer....

The different tastings sound interesting. I have really missed doing the 7 day cruise. You get more fun things to do than on a 4 night cruise.

Taking my DD to Cape May for a few days. My neighbor rents this $1.5+ million house, and my DD gets the benefit of it. Sadly my DS and I can't stay because of getting everything together for their trip next week and our cruise. It all has to be ready to go in a few days.

So why am I on this DIS boards instead of sleeping?

I thought I had only seen the beer tasting listed once on the Navigators. I had read a post that said you sampled 4 different beers and 2 of the were Guinness and Sam Adams. I was hoping they would offfer beers I hadn't had before.

Those and a couple more.

OK , so looks like a few of us want to do these. I think I will head over to Guest Services when we board and see if I can sign up for a couple. I was thinking maybe beer and margarita one day and martini and wine the other? Not sure. Hoping some more info comes back this week after the the latest set of Tortolas come home.

everything jlawall and mjfish1020 are doing for my DH
(I trust these two girls to take care of him)

I'm also going to sign up for the galley tour at guest services when we get on the ship...my older son has never been and he has an interest in this stuff.
I've done the galley tour more than once.

I've been watching the weather channel (my favorite) - how is everyone doing down south with these temps and storms? thinking of you.

Same here. Have done the galley tour more than once. Hope to take Em cause she has never gone and I think everyone should experience it at least once.

Not sure about storms, but it it steamy hot out.... Yuck.

Well, thanks for asking! It's still hot here in Atlanta (93 right now), but thankfully a little less muggy. We had some pretty powerful storms roll through Monday afternoon. The cabana at our neighborhood pool was struck by lightning as were a couple of trees by the pool. Poor lifeguard was struggling to get everybody out of the pool quickly and was apparently carrying a metal umbrella when the tree near the pool was hit. He was slightly shocked (don't understand what "slightly" means), and was actually taken to emergency room where they released him a bit later and proclaimed him one very lucky young man! Could have been a much different outcome. These afternoon storms can really be scary, especially when they pop up with little warning.

Matt is going to do some of the tastings I'm not sure which ones yet because he has not decided. We are definitely going to do the galley tour.

I'm going to die in WDW with this heat. 15 min on the playground this afternoon i could not take any more and it's only in the upper 80's here. I have a feeling we may only be in the parks at night.

Finally decided when were going to leave. Were going to leave after i get off work no the 13th which means we will arrive at 7am on the 14th. I get a whole extra day to play yay!

I just booked the Wishes Dessert Buffet for us on Sunday the 12th. A little pricey but we've never seen Wishes

I've been in SW Arkansas this week and the heat has been horribly miserable.

 

[noahsmom]

It's been in the 90's here in Wisconsin also, very humid too. Actually yesterday it more humid here then in Orlando. BUT - I just checked the weather and Sunday we will only be 78, and it looks like that is sticking around next week. There's a cool wind blowin' in... hopefully it will cool off at WDW too!

 

[Macavity]

A record setting day here in Houston. 104 degrees was the high today.

....and as the weatherman said, not a chance for snow in sight (I think he meant to say rain LOL!)

 

[tinkerbell_29]

OK I'm glad we are not getting anywhere near 104 but as much as I hate snow i would love anything that would cool us off a little. We are normally still in the 70's maybe lower 80's not the upper 80's low 90's like we are now. I need a tropical breeze and a cold frozen drink.
