Thanks - I was just pulling up my file manager to try and remember where on the website I had put the files. Saved me some time!
Thought I would share a story for those wondering about getting stamps in your passport. (I've never gotten one on a DCL cruise.)
Last summer DW and I took a Med Cruise with Princess. We started in Greece, visited Turkey, Israel, Egypt, and ended in Rome. When we boarded the ship, they took and kept our passports. Before arriving in Turkey, they gave them back to us already prestamped for Turkey. When we got back on the ship after Turkey, they again collected our passports. The same was done for Egypt and Rome. But Israel was a bit different.
On the sea day before we arrived in Israel, we had to go to one of the lounges. There, a crew member handed us our passport that had the Israeli immigration paperwork tucked inside. When you go to Israel, they won't normally stamp your passport because a lot of countries won't let you in if you have an Israel stamp in it. (My father has to passports for this reason - he works both in Israel and Saudi Arabia, and has to have a permanent visa for both - so they made arrangements for him to have two different passports).
We then had to meet an Israeli immigration officer (who had boarded back in Athens). He inspected our passports, asked us few questions. He stamped the insert as we talked. Once he was done, we asked if we could have a stamp in the passport too. He looked at us silently for second, his eyes watered, he responded 'Absolutely' and reached for our passports and very deliberately stamped them. He handed them back, thanked *us* and got up and walked us out of the lounge (the only time we saw someone do that - and there were 5-6 immigration officers present in the room dealing with other passengers).
Well some people worry about their underpants being clean and fresh in case of an accident. I worry about my house. What would my family think if they had to come to my house right now and sort through my belongings? Crazy sounding I know but my house being clean makes me happy.
Plus it is so much easier to maintain a clean house then having to spend hours doing a deep clean on a dirty house. Which is why it may sound nuts my kids clean their rooms every night, the fact is they are never really "dirty" so it is not a big deal and not a fight between them and I.
So for me keeping the house clean is the easy way out.
It's our Mother's Day tomorrow. I have already received a plant arrangement and a bowl of hyacinths which I love.
I tell my children not to bother as my daughter and 2 daughter in laws are mothers themselves now and need to be pampered.
This year I get to have 2 Mother's Days!!!
Happy Mother's Day Marilyn 
How lucky to have 2 this year! We have self scan in the store where I work. We have 6 , and they are always busy. We were one of the 1st stores in Ontario to have them. We opened this store in 2001. I was surprised at how fast they caught on, the elderly were just as interested in learning how to use them as were children. A lot of people feel rushed going through a regular check-out, they can't keep up with each item to see what they were charged and they don't always like how the items are packed in bags, so they gain some control at the self-scan. I was worried at first that they would take away jobs, but this doesn't seem to be happening. People still want a choice, and this choice is good for some, but not for others. Also, they still need someone to help when they break down
We have many stores now that are offering the "service" of letting us scan and bag our own items. No discount for doing that, so I am
why would I do that?? KMart, WalMart, Fred Meyer (our local everything under one roof, now owned by Kroeger store) all have self scan available. But, until they give me at least a bit of a discount I will take let then ring it up and bag it for me!
and to balance them daily, wish I didn't know this perspective quite so well 
You both deserve this cruise 
But I can carry 7 or 8 of those plastic ones( hung on my arms) plus a gallon of milk and a pack of papertowels in at one time. Many more trips out to the car to carry in the paper ones.
Isn't Barton Cottage Sense and Sensibility?
That is MICKEY YELLOW.
DCL had to get special permission from the Coast Guard (or some power-that-is) to not use the normal life boat color. So we are SPECIAL!!

Hi
Do you have Marks and Spencer in your area? Just wonder because some worldwide have it.
I saw one in Singapore and it was very expensive than my home
Didn't see one in Australia, not sure about Amercia?
