July 18 Tortola cruise part 3

We just made wild salmon for dinner, and my youngest said, "In 7 more days, mommy, I'm going to eat all the salmon I want every day. And lox for breakfast every day. And bagels. And maybe a donut."

At least her Omega 3 levels will be high on the cruise . . . .
 
:rotfl:

We had a bit of a panic last night where we thought that the now dead washing machine had dumped a lot of water into the walls and we might need to rip the walls out. But we think (we hope -- knock wood) that it was just the pile of kids' laundry that got wet and was now a compost laundry pile that was breeding a nasty sour stink. So Greg is at a laundromat today (his first time ever!) doing about 10 loads of laundry, pending delivery of our new washer tomorrow.

So we're talking, just not here. :)




Do you guys know when you'll be heading to the Earl of Sandwich? I know you're meeting for drinks elsewhere first; I just didn't know how long you'd be drinking. :lmao:

Good luck with the washing machine. :hug: I don't think we'll be too long at the Turf as some of us have to go elsewhere. Maybe an hour???????

I just saw that. Thank you so much and thank you tons to the people who could fit us in. I wish I would have been on here months ago to chat with you all. Cant wait to meet everyone. We don't leave it the 17th but time is moving fast..

It will be so nice to meet another JoAnn. All the JoAnn's I've ever met are really nice and I can see that you are, too. Don't worry about missing the early chatter, a few minutes with us and you'll feel like you've been in from the beginning. We play very nice in the sand box!!!! Although, warning, we are a little nutty (OK, a lot nutty!) :dance3:

too cute!:hug::hug::hug:
and don't 'ya love when the kids (mine especially) say, you can eat as much as you want - it's free!:hug::hug:
 
I think I'm always sad because the servers act differently -- it's a 180 from the night before. So now we just skip it. Plus, you het to see the Palo cuties at Topsiders that morning. Um, I mean, the extremely well qualified waiters from Palo.

I feel the same way about the servers. The magic is gone. We go to Topsiders because we would have to get to the regular restaurant way too early for us. And last year due to Hurricane Faye, we docked in
Ft. Lauderdale. They wanted us off the ship very early. Breakfasts in the dinning rooms were from 5:15 - 6:45 AM. The buffet was at 4:45 AM. :scared1: So after that experience perhaps the regular hours won't be so bad?
 

Getting all of the documents together and starting to make lists!!!! :cool1:

Starting to print all the information that I have gathered all these months.
I just love lists.

My poor coordinator of my morning class. Since it was the end of the year, they didn't want to buy the replacement part for my beloved copying machine until fall. Plus one person thought we were making too many copies. So I made a long list on how the machine was used, how many teachers use it, all the way down to figuring out that one copy was made every 12 min. during the times classes were going on. So for teaching a class, this isn't much. I love my calculator too. ;)

And thanks to whoever invented postnotes.:worship: I can't imagine my life without them.
 
Ok, my latest crisis is trying to add my DD22 to our Grand Gathering event on Friday night. They need some number which maybe Lissa has that starts with a "MG?".........there is availability to add one but they can't find some aspect of the ressie that I don't have............if Lissa (tinkerbell) or MrsG can help please let me know, or I think Joann Lockard is coming?

Ok, I have to share what happened today......

First, last week, I received a phone message indicating that I never paid the remaining balance on my WDW ressie, so my 2day trip was cancelled on Tuesday of this week to the AKL.

I found out and flipped out, it was a email/snail mail misunderstanding and was resolved.....

When this happened, I think my GG ressie was cancelled.

Then, my DD22 realized she could join us in WDW next Thursday and Friday.

When I called and tried to add her to our ressie including park tix, dining plan and GG dinner on Friday, I had to totally change our resort, pay a fortune and get her included in our WDW experience.

Then I tried to add her to the GG dinner and I was literally on hold for THREE HOURS today, trying to get this resolved.........after talking to FOUR WDW employees, I found out that I DID NOT HAVE A RESSIE ANYMORE FOR OUR GG EXPERIENCE. Only the last agent seemed to give me straight answers, so after waiting another 4 hours, she called me and told me that our entire party of 5 will now be at the GG event..........:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Thx to everyone who provided info today..........I did write a complaint email to guest services about all of this, I'm so happy it's resolved and we can now look forward to next week's events...........thx again to all and sorry again for getting the pirate today, I was in the middle of all this fiasco and somehow I ended up with the 100 post!

Also, my DD24, is still working on our deck plans chart with her BF for the FE list...........they say it will be done by Monday.........I will post their maps when they are done.........

Oh, BTW, my DH and I are married 29 years today............and they said it wouldn't last..........:rotfl2:

So glad it all worked out. And congrats on 29!!!!!!!!
 
My wife has been trying to talk me into a massage, but I can't justify it. I have two kids that take great glee in jumping up and down on me like I'm a trampoline. And it's free! :)

And if you need help with the pictures, I'll be glad to! I can even set up an account for you, and help get you started. It's a cakewalk once you do it a time or two. :)

Thanks! Amazingly, I actually do know how to post photos - I just can't. DH hasn't connected the laptop to the internet at my folks house - and that's simply toooooooo complicated for me to manage on my own. All our photos are on the laptop. :sad2:

Do you have any additional info on this cabin -- any kids?

I see from her ticker that she is celebrating her 50th birthday on board. So it might be just she and DH. :confused3

Good luck with the washing machine. :hug: I don't think we'll be too long at the Turf as some of us have to go elsewhere. Maybe an hour???????

We don't want to be too late for the Earl, after all!!!!:thumbsup2

Yesterday at SeaWorld, someone was yelling for a Joann (not me) - I was like, "hey! Wait! this isn't the DCL terminal!" :lmao::lmao:

This JoAnn phenomenon is spreading all over the world!:cloud9:
 
So glad it all worked out. And congrats on 29!!!!!!!!

Thx Maryann.......one week from tonight.......we'll be walking around Deck 10 and peeking at the lounge chairs near the Cove Cafe........:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oooooooooooooh! Sorry! I completely misunderstood. I knew there were a lot of people wrestling with photo posts, and I'd forgotten that you'd mentioned something about the network being the problem earlier in the thread. Sorry about that! :)
 
I'm with 'ya on this one! My downstairs is now spotless - we won't talk about the boys' two bedrooms, one bathroom, and we can leave Monday!
It is just me and Mamma Mia (the CD from the movie) in the house right now and I'm getting alot done (like chatting on the boards):lmao::lmao::lmao:

Ok, back to packing.......just one more day for you guys!!!!!!!!:banana:
 
Well, it looks like no matter what, I am going to have to check 3 suitcases...
right now I have 3 packed... one is 49 pounds, and the other two are 27 pounds each.... this 50 pound limit is killing me.....
and I still don't have the last minute stuff in it.....
==================================================================
or I can have one carry on that has way more than what I want it to have in it...
==================================================================

But.... on the other hand...
==================================================================

but.... if I go ahead and check the three suitcases... I will not have to worry about FE gifts and anything else I might purchase on the trip not having a way to get home....

==================================================================

.... but its an additional $50 (round-trip) to check that third piece of luggage....
==================================================================

what would you do?
 
Holy cow.... I can never keep up with these boards.... again I thought I was going to be all caught up only to find another new thread with 20+ more pages of stuff.... Whew! Cant wait for the cruise. :cool1:
 
Does anyone know if you can cash a check onboard? I'm trying to avoid getting travelers cheques this go around.

Thanks!
 
You would think they would cover that in the FAQ's but I didn't see it.


I have read on the many tips boards that you can.:cool1: I'll check back on this for you.:cool1:

This is ridiculous - was awake at 5:30!!!!!:scared1::scared1: Can't sleep!!!!! Get me to Florida NOW.:yay::yay::yay:
 
If you have Verizon -
here is the link for you:

http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Roaming/rates_coverage.html

(and yes, St. Thomas is roaming)

In verizon's infinite wisdom - it costs less to make a call in the British Virgin Islands than in the US Virgin Islands:confused3

But there are only 2 of you!

Looks like I won't be able to get away with only 2 suitcases either. Matt will probably have to take his own suitcase. Mine is stuffed with his stuff and mine and there isn't my room left in Mike's.
