Hi all, time is going quickly now for me hope irt is for all of you also.I have my key west plans and cozumel either the dolphins or the beach(paradise). What are you all planning for grand Cayman, I tried to find answers through the back posts and after several looks only found people going to stingray city. Any other thoughts, Can you just walk around here and find things to do? I saw rum point which is an hour away , Anything else?

Going shopping Sunday for my fress wish me luck. Saturday going to see "go diego Go" then to the casino as my work is having a sales meeting and I will neet branch managers from all over the northeast.

Snow coming tonight after 60 degrees yesterday unreal, Disney take me away/
Talk to you soon my freinds.

I woke up to snow this morning after 65 degrees on Tuesday. I'm still and the yo yo weather isn't helping. I'm curious to know how you like "Go Diego Go". We took Devin to Super Grover for the first time and he did well (as opposed to his first movie at the theater last summer when he escaped his seat between us, ran to the screen and started pounding as DH and had to play monkey in the middle to trap him ). Needless to say we let him grow up a bit before trying anything like that again.

We are doing the typical Stingray City thing and then a short helicopter tour in GC. I hope Devin likes the stingrays or its gonna be a long boat ride.


Hey Karen: SEXY NANA in that dress! Caliente!

My DH and I were down in the Key West about a year ago. SO i am not going to plan any trips. I am planning on walking around and going to the Most Southern Point for a photo op. In addition I am wanting to eat at Sloppy Joes. And from tehre I am just going to walk around and see what shops I missed last time.

Well for Cosemel. :rofl: LOL well that is where we spent our honeymoon. Lets just say after that I am glad we are still married. My DH lost his wedding ring in the ocean our first night. Then on our last day I was stung by a jellyfish . So I am almost thinking I might not even get off the boat that day..

At grand cayman I am thinking about doing the sub tour. I think my children would like to do the sub tour. Anyways what is the pirate tour ? Just wondering if that is something my kids would like...

I like both of those dresses...if i think about it i wil take pics of what i am wearing

i have a list to shop for this weekend and one is swimsuits..not looking forward to that as most dont me well since i have a shorter torso but not enough **** for anything

i did drag out all the suitcases tonite..amber has adopted one bag for all her toys..says shes packing them for her trip already i tried to put the pop and water in a suitcase and found i am one suitcase short then what i thought we had. ( wheeled suitcases that is) so i now either have to buy another wheeled suitcase or get very creative in how i pack things as we really prefer to take only wheeeled suitcases over taking nonwheeled and having to carry it. i may look for something on sale at a decent price this weekend while i am out and go from there.

Grand cayman we are just walking around and doing a little shopping for the needed items we want and then going back to the ship.. cozumel we are going to pardise beach and will also do a little shopping

have a good friday all.. i hope it goes fast myself as today dragged on forever

 

[pppiglet]

Hey Seeboo...we will probably see you around Key West! We're doing the walking thing too. SMP and Sloppy Joes on our list to see. Probably won't eat there though since we have our Palo Brunch that morning!

Grand Cayman we're doing the Island tour with Butterfly Farm.

Coz....we are doing the Jeep tour.

Castaway Cay ....jet skis/eco tour

Be sure to meet everyone in the Promenade lounge on the ship at 3:15 so that way we'll recognize you and can wave to you if we pass you walking around Key West!

I went online to see if Dress Barn showed my dress, but they have a weird website. I did find a dress on there almost like Karens though.

I tried that one on too at Macy's. My girlfriend and I actually liked it better, but it was not marked down and I was into saving the big bucks!

Don't forget the Blonde Giraffe in Key West. The home of Key Lime Pie on a stick!

I think it was on the Passporter site that I finally found info on the Pirate Encounter. Everyone that wrote in said it was wonderful. The kids were the most excited. It's a pirate ship and you play pirate!! And then they take you to an area to swim for awhile. One man said his kids had the pirates make him walk the plank. They were thrilled, he was wet!

Karen, your dress is absolutely adorable. I'm with you I love a great deal.

Kim and Devin, THANK YOU THANK YOU Courtney and Koty are in the bedroom dancing away. I've been invited to their party. Courtney said she was exhausted from dancing so much.

I am so sick of tax season I can't stand myself or anyone else either.

Kim, I just called to check and we're still waitlisted, but they hope to have it fixed by the time documents go out.

Florida Kim, Glad to see you pop in. I completely understand a hectic schedule.

seeboo, Welcome aboard. My dd is 9 and ds is 4.

Can someone send me instructions on how to post pictures?

 

[pppiglet]

Ugh...jury duty again today. The upside was that I met a lady my age and she asked me to join her for lunch and she mentioned cruising on her last vacation and we hit it off from there! (although she went on NCL). Talked cruising and family. Turns out she grew up in my city lives close by and we know some of the same people from HS even though she went to the other school.

She said she did the jeeps in Cozumel and it was the best! I am so looking forward to it now that I've heard it from a live source!

Glad the kids are enjoying the Mix. The kids on the West Coast should get their CD tomorrow (post office said about 3 days to the west coast).

Hang in there, tax season will be over soon enough. Brian left his job and started his own biz from home in January so this is the first tax season I haven't lost him to his work.

 

[BLTOH]

KimberlyC... wow impressive CD and amber says thank you devin and she loves all the songs and will dance with him on the cruise... her words not mine there. we listened to it while we was in the van driving to do our shopping.

I did get everyone swimsuits but me...couldnt find one i liked..going shopping in toledo on sunday with my best friend so i will have her input maybe i will find something then.

Pigglet and madisonznana and any other on the passporter site ... did you join the new special access club on the passporter site? if you did i requested a worksheet for our cruise that will list family members, port of call, location, excursions,and time frames and its already listed. it is a combo of the ones in the deluxe version of the cruise book from pages 336 and 136 i do believe the pages are. they are designed for one day so i am going to print enough out for the week and fill in once we are on board with our dinning and where we have to be what amber wants to do and times and all that good stuff...kind of like your own personal navigator.

 

[pppiglet]

Thanks Tracy...I'll go check out that special access spot now!

 

[Pappy]

we havent checked the site of late but just to let you know we are still coming and hope to see you all soon

 

[Madisonznana]

Hi KimC,
I got your package for Madison today. She is with her Daddy this weekend so we will have to wait until Sunday night or Monday to give it to her. It just depends on how cranky she is when she gets home Sunday. They seem to forget she is a little girl and could really use to go to bed way before 10.

Welcome back Pappy! We are having a Dis meet on the 3rd deck Promenade Lounge around 3:14 before the lifeboat drill, in case you would like to come by and say hi!!
Karen

Pappy, that's great! Thanks for checking in. Some people have had to cancel so it's nice to know who we should expect to see. In case you didn't notice, some of us from the roll call are going to try to meet before the safety drill just briefly to say hi and introduce ourselves and kids (if applicable). Check out the Roll Call, post #15 for info. Basically everybody in green is a yes, red-we don't know yet, black-haven't heard from in awhile and don't know if they are still sailing or not. Hope you can make it.



I'm so glad the kids like the CD. It was fun to make.
Tracy, what's the Passporter site? I have the newest book but not familiar with the site. Egads!...there's a site I'm not on

I have great news

I have somehow managed to sneak another day into our vacation and we're going to stay the night of the 3rd at All Star Movies I've never stayed on Disney property. We don't know what time we will get in so may not go to the parks just enjoy the pool and go to downtown Dis.

I finished selling Girl scout cookies today. We have about 43 boxes left, but everything should work out for us to still send all our girls to camp and thats what matters.

Hope everyone has an awesome week.

Karen, where did you guys say you were staying at WDW?

 

[Madisonznana]

We are staying at the Port Orleans French Quarter. But we are staying after the cruise.
I was taking in a few nips and tucks in Madison's pirate costume today. Disney sizes can be a real pain. The 5/6 just barely fit and the 7/8 which I bought, was too big. So hopefully it will be a little better now.
Today is ther first day in quite awhile that we are under 80 degrees. we are having a little cooling spell in the higher 60's. I want to pack..............

That's wonderful. You'll have a great time. I've never stayed at the All Stars but I'm sure they are lots of fun. If you do go to a park I think it's easier to drive than to take WDW buses, but make sure you have your ASMo parking pass and you won't get charged anywhere to park.

You're not kidding about the sizes. Devin's pirate costume that I got from disneyshopping.com is too big. I got an XS because the shirt my MIL got him that is an XXS is getting too tight. One of these days I should take a sewing class. For now, I don't own a sewing machine so i'm thankful for that no sew hem stuff. The waist is elastic and at least doesn't fall off so it's good enough. If the hem stuff doesn't work I'm just going to cut zig zags in the pants and pretend they came like that I just spent way to much at alterations but since it's just a costume I'm not bothering.

You are making me envious. I would LOVE to be in the 60's - we hit that a few days ago and it felt like summer was here!
