Those girls are absolutely gorgeous!

Yes, they are so cute!!

Ok, we've been doing more research.............we took the taxi to Red Hook and then the ferry to Cruz Bay then the taxi to Cinnamon Bay (it's right next to Trunk Bay and we wanted to try a different one)........20 minutes to ferry, ferry ride, 20 minutes, about 15 minutes to Trunk Bay.......price? About $20 first taxi, ferry RT two people $20, taxi to TB $12 for two people. The ferries run both directions every hour on the hour. So total cost was about $80. It was very easy to do this. You can compare that to the St. John excursion price.

We will be taking a tour from St. John tomorrow to some snorkeling on St. J and then over to Jost Van **** (Sloppy Dollar Bar, I think and White Beach or Bay or something)....I'll let you know how that goes......on Wed. we're touring all the BVIs except Tortola, so that should be interesting.

I haven't figured out the casino questions but I think there are several locations. We plan to go to town near the port dock on Tuesday.

Hope you are all having a nice weekend......Lucy, by the time we get back, you'll be done with that party!!

HB Lissa............if someone wants to take over with the pirate updates......be my guest!!

Does Lucy spell her last name with or without an 's'. William or Williams??? Anybody know?

Okay - Here are some more photos:

We had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids on Saturday - but Easter is next week. Of course, I volunteered to host the Church Easter Brunch potluck and Egg Hunt next week too - I think I'm crazy!

Lucy spells her last name with an 's'
Williams

well, we could discuss that her name really isn't Williams, she HAD a maiden name but Bob insisted she take his name.....back in the olden days, approx. 25 years ago

More St Thomas research needed!! Does anyone know anything about Mahogany Run golf course? DH is thinking of doing this for his excursion but is started to 2nd guess because of the extremely high cost ($275).

 

[OlKiara]

I checked in to this one it is $2,999.00!!! Oh well!!! I agree it sounded great, so did my 10-year old daughter and 11 year old god-daughter! Guess we're doing a beach day!

 

[OlKiara]

Just so I'm clear, the $2,999.00 is for the Private Villa in Tortola. I don't want to scare anyone!!!!

Happy B'day Lissa!!!!

I guess we're not getting an excursion booklet. One way to cut costs, I guess.

JoAnn #2 - your girls are beautiful!!!!!!!

Hi All! You have been chatty while I've been gone. I'll have to do some catching up tomorrow. I'm tired, stiff and ache in muscles I didn't even know you could ache in. it was a great training, but, it was a challenge both mentally and physically! I'm not sure anyone but cirque du soliel athletes could do some of these moves.

Oh yeah!!! Opening Day tomorrow! The Cubs are in town playing the Astros, we have tickets for Tuesday's game

Too late you already did

Thanks for clearing that up.

Lucy spells her last name with an 's'
Williams

So why is your ID lwilliam with no 's'?

well, we could discuss that her name really isn't Williams, she HAD a maiden name but Bob insisted she take his name.....back in the olden days, approx. 25 years ago

I am in the same boat with you

Whoa! Is that for the Villa for a day through DCL excursions? Tha sounds outrageously high. I figured they probably have different prices for different size villas or different ammenities. Do you have any details on what this price gets you?

I hope that's not per person!

 

[3princessMommy]

Well, that's absolutely insane! I can't imagine that anyone actually takes them up on it! You can do the whole cruise for that price!!!!

Hmmm...Guess we'll head to the beach too (unless we can figure out the dolphin encounter).

I played there when we were on the Christmas cruise in 2004. It was a beautiful course - I thought that it was worth the cost - some of the holes are perched on cliffs next to the sea.... Make sure you take your camera....

Gotta love being a Castaway Club Member!!

Ugh I'm actually dreading making ressies for the cruise and WDW. There is no way i can be up at midnight then be at work the next morning and functioning. WDW I'm not to worried about but I do want an early spot at CP. I may have to train my brother how to do all of this and pray he doesn't screw it up.
