This is such a tease---- you really need to do a couple of weeks going from island to island!!


THEY are probably some of the NICEST ports, or islands we have BeenTo!!! we love the British Virgin Islands!!!

Tortola is Spanish for "Turtle Dove", a shy little brown dove which is often seen in the hills or flying along various dirt roads.

I have not had time to read all the posts!

Welcome Lisa!!!!!

Tracy, are you still on vacation or are you back from FL? If so, how was your trip?

 

[winotracy]

Welcome Lisa!!!!!

Tracy, are you still on vacation or are you back from FL? If so, how was your trip?

I'm back. It was a pain to get there and get back, but we had a great time there. Weather was great, the castle was beautiful! Saw some friends and coworkers. Thanks for asking!

And now I need to run to the post office and then I can say I'm ready for Christmas!

 

[rotary2808]

Glad to hear your back and that you had a good time!!!!

 

[ldb1030]

Okay, I'll start so we can see if anyone has kids near the same age:

me, DH and DD who will be 18 then!

my nephew who will be 18 also

(we are going 1 week after they both graduate! different schools, different towns, same day )

my oldest sister

another sister and her partner and their son who will be 8 at that time!

 

[winotracy]

We've just joined the May 23, 2009 cruise. It will be me, DH, and DS14. Can't wait!

Lisa,

I think Sandi here is the only other one on this thread with children coming.

Wow! Cool! I always try to tell people that tons of cruisers go on Disney without kids and they don't seem to ever believe me!!

 

[rotary2808]

No kids for us, unless I have one I'm not expecting between now and then.

I was thinking the same thing Emily

If you ask my DH he'll tell you we have a lot of kids coming -- himself, Peter, etc. I must agree with him

 

[jeanneg]

Welcome, Lisa!!!!

Empty nesters here.......I guess we're part of the big kids group.

He's got a point. We are all kids at heart after all right?

Lisa,

My DH and DS are still upset that I went on a Big Girl's cruise on the Wonder without them last month. The youngest on that cruise was DD27, and sadly I was the oldest of the group. The only problem we had with kids was on the plane ride home. DCL - great for grown-ups, too...

 

[RachelTori]

I've been lurking for several days - thought this would be a good time to introduce my little family! Sandi already knows us from the Blabbermouth cruise! Hi, Sandi!

It's myself, DH, and DD, Tori, who will be 15 when we cruise. (We also have a DS30 and a DD23, Rachel, who will NOT be vacationing with us!)
