Oh my goodness, how can you keep up with everyone?

I signed in here a while ago (ok, quite a while ago!) but trying to go back and read all the notes posted here will make me literally MUCh grayer than I already am! LOL!

Looking forward to this cruise SO much... the 4 day last year wetted my appetite for more, to be sure!

Quick question... is there any benefit to paying off the cruise early, other than just not having to worry about it anymore? DH wants us to keep the interest in the savings account

Other kids the same ages as my boys? Sean will be 11 1/2 (is probably more like 9-10 emotionally, due to LOTS of surgeries and health issues) and Kaj (rhymes with Tie) will be 14.

Heidi in beautiful Idaho!

Welcome Heidi!!!! so happy to meet you!!!!

Thanks to all for the warm welcome! This is going to be a great time; I can tell! LOL Michele- I have been to St Maarten once-this past Oct. on a cruise on RCCL's Mariner. I was with my girlfriend-no kids,husband (mine) or boyfriend (hers). We spent the most relaxing day at Orient Beach in front of a little bar-we rented the lounge chairs,and an umbrella and we had a great lunch! We swam and they made the BEST pina colada's with cinnamon on the top! St. Thomas was ok-we took a group tour with some other cruisers on Cruise critic that had met up while chatting beforehand-just like this! LOL. So I really want to go to Orient Beach again;and have my family have the same wonderful day! I saw a few topless women;maybe 2 or 3 the whole day-no big deal! But I was thinking about a sailing excursion while in st thomas-I don't mean the kind where you have to work your butt off! LOL There was 1 that I had looked into before and looked great- a gourmet lunch and just sailing and relaxing and a secluded spot to snorkle or swim. So I'll check that out and post the website.
Pinkygirl-what a great way to celebrate a Bday! We had Frankie on the Wonder for his 4th bday and we had a great time! Dominic will turn 4 on 12/30 and some year I'll have to bite the bullet and book a new years cruise-the expense has been holding me back till I'm sure he'll remember.
Thanks again to you all for the very warm welcome! Have a great evening!

I say that everytime I go to Timmies. You know a big problem with this chocolate exchange is the taste test....gotta make sure they are good enough to go out !

 

[belle1627]

Very clever!!!!!

 

[pinkygirl]

is anyone renting a car in St Maarten? I'm not sure if we should, but we do want to visit a few places and don't know if it's worth it. Maybe we'll just get a taxi?

SHe gets uptight but I have to say when the twins were little I got stressed like she does.. It has got to be rough.. Jon is so my huband...!!!!!!!!!That van is too much for me to handle..>!!!!!!!!
