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

[scottishwee35]

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.

That remind me of my son when he was very young. He was terrible attitude when he was little because he have the dyparaxia. I find it very difficult to find out what wrong when he ran to corner or hide and put hand on his ears.

I had terrible times to take him to panto, cinema and Magic Kingorm was worst!!

Now he is 10 and it much better now and he will be 11 and I am very surprise that he told me that he want to go to Pirate.

He missed out Discovery Cove because at first he didnt want to come along so I booked three of us and know mil will take him to seaworld. Then we arrived Florida, he changed his mind want to come along to Discovery Cove but we went up and try to booking for them. Turn out it was full booking!!

I see some excursions have dolphin so maybe one pirate and another day dolphin for Keith.

Olivia go anywhere, even sky line!! She have no fear at all!!

It sounds like things get better for Keith as he gets older. That's good! Must be hard for him (and you & your family too). I'm glad he's excited to do the pirate ship!

Olivia sounds just like me! I was never afraid of doing adventurous things as a kid....and I'm still the same now.

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!

I really get anxious about the bathroom situation on days out away from home too. I'm not good these days going behind a wall either!!

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

Must post a picture when the tree is done.

WOW! It's snowing! We've hardly had any at all this winter, so it looks so pretty! I didn't even think we were supposed to get any, so I'd better check the weather report. Maybe some of what's on the way to Gina in NY and Deb in PA tomorrow is coming this way. Hmmm.......I guess I'd better head out and do my grocery shopping and other stuff before it gets bad, if it's going to get bad.

my mistake anyway should be anywhere!

I am laughing at you now - no fear me scared of sky line or parasalling? I think my husband want to do it at Castaway as last time it was cancelled as bad wind.

OH MY GOSH! I feel so clueless! I just checked weather.com for my forecast and my guess was correct. What's headed for Gina & Deb will be dumping a load here too. Check out what the report says:


LIGHT SNOW WILL BEGIN TO FALL THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER A PERIOD OF HEAVIER SNOW IS EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. ACCUMULATIONS OF A FOOT OR MORE OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNDAY. BY SUNDAY... NORTH WINDS GUSTING 30 TO 40 MPH MAY CAUSE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE SNOW WITH NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW... SLEET... AND ICE ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.

YIKES! I"m a tad freaked out. OK...I'm out of here immediately so I can go do all my running around. Sounds like we won't be going anywhere tonight or tomorrow. Better buy some hot chocolate for warming up after building the snowman we'll surely be able to finally make tomorrow!

Better get in some nice comfy supplies Holly and enjoy the forced relaxation.

Oh, you can watch Santa live now, though the office will close soon I think.

I love parasailing. Haven't done it though since I was a teenager. When I used to do it in Mexico, you started off on the beach, rather than how they do it now by reeling you off the boat. I had to start far back from the water's edge, then take off running when the told me to, as the boat took off and lifted me into the air. It was funny the couple times when my feet dragged in the water before they got me all the way up! The only part I didn't like is when they drop you back on the beach, being caught by the guys working. Just a bit touchy-feely and quite creepy.

Well, if we get a foot of snow, it should still be here on Christmas. The timing of this storm is perfect because Tyler and I can shovel it all Sunday evening before bed so we'll be able to get to school and work on Monday. I really can't afford to miss a single day until after Christmas.

 

[lillygator]

so I pulled out some very tiny cocktail dresses and have hung them in various places around the house. Hopefully for some motivation to get my butt moving!

 

[HollyTyler]

They said "light snow" for this afternoon in the report I posted above, but somebody must have been mistaken. In the time since I first posted that it had started snowing, enough snow has fallen to cover my car enough that I'll need to clear it off before driving. SO, since it's falling faster than the weather report said, I'm really leaving now.

That's a great idea! I plan on starting back at the gym this week. I haven't gone since summer. I really don't want to gain all that weight back, so working out should help keep it away.....and maybe will help me lose that last 25 pounds to reach my goal! 45 down, 25 to go!

shoveling snow....wow!

I found my 1gb memory card in their toy box again....thank goodness...now high up for safe keeping.

I dropped my camera at WDW last weekend. It still works ok, but I think we may get a new one. I would like to bring my camcorder on this trip however we bought it in 2000 so it's not the newest of the lot.

I hope you both reach your goals. Holly you have done so well so far - not too far to go now.

I really liked this one...of course I never used all it's features to their potential.
