American Idol starts tonight! Anyone else watching?

I like the auditions the best but watch the whole season.

If you were going to only going to get off at 1 port in Mexico which would you get off at and which would you stay on board?

our availabe funds for excursions and the spa etc is going to be tight and would like to do 1 excursion in Mexico which would be a guided bus tour of some sort. Which would you visit more over the other?

There has been a post on the main cruise board about GTY. Someone going on the 19th I think, is still GTY!!!

our excursion funds are tight as well, that is why I am doing most everything on our own.

We started off with Pop Idol for 2 years which is what went over to you as American Idol Now we have The X Factor. Same format but there are 3 categories - groups, young, and older. Not sure of the age requirements though as I don't watch that much. The numbers are whittled down and then each of the 3 judges is given one category to help train etc, so there is competition between the judges too!! Can be fun. Judges are Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh. There can be plenty of arguements and sulking there too!!

It is an extremely popular programme. It takes place in the Fall so that the winner has a disc out for Christmas.

Good question about the port as we won't be going on many if any excursions. I believe Puerta Vallarta is easy to walk to and around.

I would pick either PV or Aca. What type of things do you like to see?

It would be less stress for me if I find out at port, that way I won't be trying to figure out ahead of time where my cabin is and if I got a good location or not, I'll just have to be happy with what I get

Why don't you go out on your own? The cab drivers will take you on the same tours for a fraction of the cost.

Yes Marilyn, that would be best I don't want to be the only one left in the lifeboat either

That reminds me - where is Deb? Haven't seen her for a while. I hope she is ok.

Popping in to say a quick hello while the boss is at lunch! No time to read the 41 pages yet that I'm behind, but am very excited about doing so as soon as possible!

Going through major struggles with Tyler's dad because he's decided he will absolutely not allow meds for Tyler because he's been reading statistics. I don't every believe any research study because our Health professor told us to "follow the money" and you'll see why the results are portrayed the way they are. I believe they're one-sided and whoever publishes a study has their own agenda. If you want to find stats on a particular viewpoint, you can find just about anything if you look for it. Anyway, I've basically told him I'm not willing to argue about it right now because life it too stressful already and all I'm asking is for him to agree to do whatever the doctor recommends, and I'll do the same, no matter what she says, because after all, she's the professional....not us.

OK...that's my update. Have to get back to work. Won't be able to go anywhere with internet tonight because we have lots of running around to do and have to go vote. Was too busy last night too.

Sorry Tyler's dad is adding more stress for you, but good for you for not arguing with him about it, seems in the past he takes a little longer to come around, but that he usually ends up doing the right thing?

Thought I would take the time to post a couple of pics from our November trip.

DH will kill me for this...

But he booked the Couple Massage for us... Very romantic and well worth every penny!! He isn't usually very romantic, and he had NEVER had a massage in his life before this. He enjoyed it as much as I and here are some pics:

The Massage room when we first arrived

Ted in front of the doors leading to the Hot Tub and Daybed looking out on the ocean!

Ted and I in the Tub!! Gorgeous day!! Too many bubbles!! We kept scooping them over the side, thinking that they wouldn't have a stateroom below us, and then when we got out we saw all of the bubbles on someones balcony!!

Karen

AWESOME pics! And I'm cracking up at the bubbles tossed over! Wouldn't it have been funny if somebody had been standing on the balcony below?! OK...maybe I'm just mean!

I was just thinking the same thing.I'm about caught up here but haven't seen any posts from Deb lately. I hope she's okay too.
