Marr, thanks for organising the being allowed to ship a box. Will be very helpful for many people.

does anyone do a daily outfit list? I never have but it seems to be a good idea. I usually don't bring enough clothes or am missing a half of an outfit here and there. Not anything to live by on vacation but at least I can "see" that the girls will have x amount of outfits for x days.

I did it last time for the kids to match, and it worked well, but since mine are older now I can't match them, so I don't think I will bother this time. Maybe a few days, but not all 15 +

Marr, can you get me a room assignment?

 

[granmaz]

you are right, that is alot of champagne, I have one tiny sip and I'm good (I of course might have a rum & coke in hiding)

I dop believe Karen was going to put some Rosa Regale in there and perhaps some other sparkling wine, but not sure.

Natural Wonders of Aruba
Withdraw to the wondrous world of butterflies, discover the art of aloe production, and visit the world-famous site of Aruba's unofficial icon, the Natural Bridge.

Behold the panoramic grandeur of Aruba's coastline — boasting hidden coves, rocky climbs and gentle rolling hills — during a 15-minute air-conditioned motor coach drive from the ship to the Butterfly Farm, Aruba's most-visited ecological reserve. Upon your arrival, meet and greet your friendly guide who will take you on a tour through a tropical garden wonderland where hundreds of beautiful butterflies from around the world fly freely all around you. Discover the fascinating life cycle of the butterfly — from meandering caterpillar to fluttering winged insect, and marvel at the curiosity of these gentle creatures as they dart and dash all around you. Revel in the beauty of their colorful winged markings and the uniqueness of their various sizes and shapes and snap a picture of the exotic flowers, placid pools and tropical landscaping that surround you at every turn. Following your hour-long visit, embark on a 10-minute trip to the Aloe Balm Facility and enjoy a 20-minute guided tour of the factory and grounds. During your visit, learn the history of aloe in Aruba and discover the fascinating process of producing some of the world's finest lotions and creams from the desert plant.

After your stop at the Aloe Balm Facility, travel past Divi Divi trees and unique-shaped cacti and travel west to one of Aruba's most famous tourist attractions: the Natural Bridge. An archway made of coral limestone that formed naturally over thousands of years, the Natural Bridge stood 25 feet high and 100 feet long before it collapsed into the sea in 2005. Today, the remnants are a reminder of the beauty that once existed, and the spot — which is home to yet another natural archway — is still a famous destination for visitors around the world. Upon your arrival, snap a picture of this celebrated treasure and wander the picturesque coastline, where cool island breezes mingle with endless warm sun. After your 20-minute visit amidst paradise, embark on a 25-minute scenic drive through Oranjestad, the capital of Aruba, and make your way back to the ship.

Shows you what I remember I was going for the company

[granmaz]

It's got a bortle opener handle!!!

 

[nskjerven]

Well, I think her new haircut is just ADORABLE!

Thank you, from the redheaded mom to the other

You could always check with Shirley and see if for a "handling fee" she would accept the boxes at her business and she could make a "basket" (or two) and deliver to your stateroom. I'm sure we could all chip in to cover the "handling fee".

I have shipped stuff to her before that I wanted special put in baskets and she has done that.

Thanks Linda, this is a great idea. I'll mention it to Karen when she returns my email and see what she says. There's more than one way to find a loop hole here!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I agree they are kinda well a lot yucky BUT I have a pair of the flip flops and they are really really comfy. I would not wear full blown crocs just cant do it! However they have those new wedge heel ones that do not look too horrible online. I may order those and see what I think.

I have some of their flip flops too....they're not ugly and they are very comfortable. I like them.

 

[lillygator]

what are the blink blink ones?

 

[gydell]

what are the blink blink ones?

Flip flops that blink(light up)when you walk.

 

[Making_Memories]

Folks, do we really want everyone to know we may have gotten a special deal on the boxes?

No special deal but you what they say the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

 

[granmaz]

Marr, are you going to post it over on the main cruise board?

 

[granmaz]

Still GTY. I keep looking. About 5 times a day actually!! One time.......it will be there, that magic number.

 

[gydell]

Marr, are you going to post it over on the main cruise board?

Don't bother her - she's working on my room!

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Thank you Tom, I knew there was a lurker that could substaniate my claim. Go ahead look at mine, I've decided what is there is for the world to see.

I'm with you Nan. If I've posted it on the web then I've already decided to let the world see it. I can't trust someone else's security system to protect my stuff if I don't want someone else to see it. Plus, that company's employees probably have access to it and you never know what they may do with the stuff. Nope, if I've transferred it to the web it's for all to see. Thus I put the link to my Dropshots photoalbum right in my sig.

 

[Making_Memories]

hey, do me a favor, stalk me and tell me what you can see. I'm not sure if I set mine that way or not.

Yours are wide open! Nice walking taco.....
