Morning all

It seems I can only get on first thing in the AM. We are off to the cottage this morning. It's a sign that the cruise is around the corner for we are pulling out the docks this weekend with our neighbors that are joining us on the Magic. So its a work weekend....
On a very exciting note we booked a last minute visit to DVC before Michelle gets of her mat leave and back to normal routine (if there is such thing as normal). We are headed to SSR and AKV for the last week of Jan into Feb. Anyone wanna come and play? After that, I think it wont be until August until we make it back.
Hope you've all got big plans for the weekend and I'll be check in when possible.

Nancy/Denis.......Randy here!!!
This sounds very similar to our day at St Maarten. What agency are you guys renting the car from? I have been checking around and can't decide where or how to rent. Thanks...

we have not booked our car yet for St. Maarten and I think we will wait until we get there. (just in case we end up not going, they would still charge $50 for not showing up) so as we get closer maybe a week before if I see there are no storm around and we are sure to be going then I will book. the 3 major ones are Budget, and I think Avis and Hertz. I would stick to these 3. And when you rent your car, make sure there is no R on the license plate as this is a target for theft!! also never lock the car when you park it somewhere and bring everything with you! ...I have been spending alot of time on Cruise Critic St. Maarten board and learned alot about the island.
here's the link in case you're interested

Rise and Shine Parrotheads!!!!! It's the weekend!!!!!

I just finished making boiled chicken and rice for our Kozie-boy. Before I get my shower, I'll be cleaning the carpet in the office, dining room and our bedroom, again. Other then vomiting, he seems totally fine. His personality is the same, playing with Daisy like normal....I dunno!

Gail, what a great chance to try another cruise line, but I don't think I like the way it's being planned either. There is NO WAY on this God's green Earth that either one of my boys would be taking a senior trip, to a foreign country without me! Not just because I am a helicopter parent, that's part of it, but the other part is, I wouldn't want to miss out on the fun too! LOL I have just heard too many scary things that happen on senior trips! What is the name of the girl who was on her trip and came up missing? They never did find her. How about the kids partying at Myrtle Beach when we were there and he fell out of a 6th story window? I just DON'T think it's a good idea. AND I am not so sure that I would want the responsibilty of saying to a parent of a child....I was your child chaperone and he got hurt, got lost, etc. No way. Too much for this conscience to take. BUT, if you can go and just relax and not worry about the kids, then maybe it's a good trip to take. I have the feeling though, that you couldn't do that either.

Our gas went back down to $3.89, which is where is was before Ike. I need to get gas today myself. Especially, if I am going to take the boys to the mall to finish up our cruise shopping!!!!

That's sound exciting for next year. We should talk since I know there is a number of us planning to head down at that time next year. Enjoy the beauty weather this weekend eh!

Good luck. AAA says 85% of the gas stations around here don't have gas. Only 3 stations had gas here last night. I was lucky, I only had to wait about 20 minutes!! The pipeline is picking up and Nashville got 2 fuel barges yesterday, so it will be back to normal in a few days.
