May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 9

[HollyTyler]

Hi guys! This is absolutely awesome and I hope you can all watch it. Put a huge smile on my face. It's a little long but totally worth it and the cutest acapella 12 days of Christmas I've ever seen/heard....

Oh, that was great! I ended up listening to a bunch of their songs, as well as going to their website. Very cool!

Now, there are 2 canopy tours I seem to remember. One looks more frightening, with a long absail down a cliff. I wouldn't want to do that one, but the other in the forest looks good. I am just not sure how I would get on, but I would so love to try. Well, I guess you can't actually 'try' can you? Think I am too scared.

Hello Everybody

Remember I told you that I went back to Xmas cooking last October.

Yesterday ladies and I just finished decorations our cakes.

OH MY GOSH, those are absolutely wonderful! So pretty! Great job! Sure looks like a lot of hard work.

Snap lol

Oh dear sometime flu can take longer time to get better but depend.

No bonus maybe later on?

My work used xmas bonus but they stoped it now and change to July!!

Scottishwee35

How strange that they give you a bonus in July! I asked a co-worker yesterday if she remembers when we got our bonus last few years and she thinks it was the last work day before Christmas, which would be next Friday. That makes more sense, so I'm sure I was just mistaken.

 

[HollyTyler]

Ooooh, if I could afford it, I'd do the Baja 1000 Test Track in Cabo! But not for $325!!!

As much as I want to do the Canyon Canopy Adventure in Cabo, I might have to pass on that to let Tyler do the Dolphin Kids adventure. Unless there's a similar dolphin adventure only for kids at another port....haven't checked them all out yet. Really just started looking today.

You just don't want us to learn the secret handshake cause you're afraid we'll crash the Champagne Girls party!!
Anyway, I remember there being two zip line tours, one by Disney and one recommended by others that traveled to Puerto Vallarta. I think my freinds did the non-Disney tour. They loved it. They said that the last zip line drops you off right at the bar!! That's the one for me. I'm sure we could use a drink after all that !!

OK....I think I have things figured out now.

Aruba: Submarine Expedition for me and Tyler. Despite my near panic attack on our last submarine that only went down 80 feet, I'll do this one because Tyler will go nuts over seeing the sunken ships! I'll try to forget that this one goes even deeper (120 feet).

Cabo: Dolphin Kids for Tyler.

Acapulco: NO idea yet. Probably the tour that includes seeing the divers, but I'm not sure Tyler would be interested in that. Maybe we'll just use that day to just wing it.

PV: Canopy Adventure for me! The only thing about that is that it's 5.5 hours and I always have to be conscious of the logistics of bathrooms because I can't go more than 2 hours without, especially if I'll be drinking lots of water in the heat. But I'm willing to take a gamble!

 

[lillygator]

ok more clothes are clean....the girls have eaten all morning and there are now ornaments on the tree!

 

[HollyTyler]

I don't recall this being available last year, so I apologize if everybody already knows about this, but did you guys know if your income is $54,000 or less, you can e-file for FREE on the IRS website? And it says you can get your refund by direct deposit in 10 days! Very cool! http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html?portlet=2

 

[lillygator]

there are a few other programs that let you file for free, no matter your income level...I usually search around until I find one.

 

[lillygator]

ok, I am wiped out....the garage is HOT!! I had to climb all over the place and rearrange things until I found the ornaments. I still haven't found the stockings!

Hi HollyTyler

What about half/half? I mean one morning with Tyler for dolphin then afternoon yourself to Canyon Canopy Adventure in Cabo?? Just though.

Last Cruise at Med. we did leave our kids on the Cruise while we went to Naples But the kids had a fun day. We took them to Rome for the day, how mistake, that kids were very grumpy and want go back to ship The weather was very hot day.

Now this cruise I still have not make up my mind yet.

Definetly Pirate for the kids. My husband want four wheels I cannot remember which one.

I have not see sky line - which one? I better have a good reading at excursions!!

Scottishwee35

 

[lillygator]

yeah that Pirate tour looks great! I am going to book through their website for the 15% off....they have a pretty strict cancellation policy though.

 

[scottishwee35]

At UK, tonight on TV there will be XFACTOR FINAL tonight. Finish at 10.35 pm

I told my husband that I don't want to know who WIN unless I come home in the morning and watch it at the end FINAL!!

My favourite was NIKKI that she was OUT last week unbelieveable!!

Scottishwee35

 

[lillygator]

yeah Holly, you could split a day as scottishwee suggested then you both get to do something.

Well, I'd have to wait and see the timing of the excursions to see if doing both would work. I'll give it some thought. But.....after you mentioned the pirate ship, I forgot I wanted to consider that one too! I'm just not sure Tyler would do well on that because when we went on a 1 1/2 hour one in Tampa, he ended up hiding in the bathroom for the last 1/2 hour because it was too loud and too hot for him. I'll have to think about it.

I am not familiar with that show....is it on over here too?

Yes it look absolutely great for my son who is dafties with Pirate!! I am sure he will have a great day. But I never been in Mexico and 4 different parts before. I am not sure if I do booking on our own. Scare if something go wrong. I think I book with dcl to be safe side. If you know experience there or know what to do like booking on your own should be great.
