Hey Parrot heads! Just checking in with you guys!

I have been researching like crazy things to do in ports. I am so excited! I wish it wasn't so far away!

I hate to dig through the pages and pages but was wondering if you were doing any excursions.


I'm thinking of doing Joyce Prince private tour in St. Maarten
Thinking of either doing Doubloon Sail & Snorkle in St. Thomas or a private sailing on Island Girl.


Are ya'll obsessing about excursions yet?

We had a 40th birthday party to go to today, so I have eaten like a pig LOL!!! Now I just ordered the new Passporter, for whatever reason. I'm sure my other one was just fine, but I always like to get the new ones.

I have been reading Peter Greenberg's Travel Detective Bible. Lots of good info for anything travel. Tips for almost anything having to do with traveling, flying, cruising....like DCL' menus are some of the most unhealthy menus on cruise ships..... It's those dang chocolate lava cakes and chocolate soufflés!

Yummy, lava cakes!!!!!!!!! When I'm on vacation I eat like crap and don't think twice!!!

Right now however, I'm feeling like I need a 2nd go round on the elliptical after going to that party.

Hey TexasGirl!! There has been some talk of excursions. I think a bunch of folks are talking about doing a tour with Godfrey in St. Thomas. Not sure about St. Martin yet. We will likely do an island tour for both sides. DW wants to go to St. John, and I want to do a tour with Godfrey also, but just not sure yet. There are several links to different shore excursion stuff on the web site. Have you seen those yet??
I checked out the Joyce Prince website, and it looks good. Maybe we should add it to our website...

[pinkygirl]

Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about that...

I'm tired and lazy tonight. I'm trying to look up a couple of things for my SIL, who is planning a last minute trip for her 3 year old next month. Yes, you read that right, next month! They are wealthy and her husband tends to look down on us normal folk, so I'm sure he'll thinks it's all awful. She was asking about the Princess and Pirate party, which I've never done, so I'm trying to read up on it.

Also re-reading Godfrey's site now LOL. I have NO idea what we want to do!

Hi Erika!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS on getting 2400!!!!!!

Snatched it right out of my hands!!! How are the Pinky's tonight??

 

[elgerber]

there are too many choices !!!!!!!!!

I know it's making me crazy!!! Between the thought of that, and worrying about overpacking, it's goign to drive me insane.

I have been looking at dresses for my dd, I may have said this before, who is 12. Way too tall for girls clothes, but not big enough for juniors dresses, if you get my drift. I have decided today, I better wait to buy her anything. About 3 weeks ago, at my SIL's house, we had my dd and ds go back to back to see how much taller he was than her (he always has been,he's almost 3 years older, but last year he finally grew some and was a few inches taller) and he had an inch or a little over. Well today we did it again, and they are the same height!!!!!
