Susan, great pics of your boys and their drums! What a great experience

Carrie, we loved a restaurant called Carrows. We fell in love with it in Las Vegas and found one just down the street from DL. They make great food (B,L & D) and are pretty cheap! It's like a better alternative to Denny's It's been over 2 years since we've been there, hopefully it's still there!



Last cruise we tipped the suggested amount, service was so-so. First cruise we tipper over and above for everyone, service was phenomenal!

Speaking of $$$$....Rob just picked up some US $$$ the other day and I am IMPRESSED!! You guys finally got smart and put some COLOUR in your money!! I remember one time down in FLorida we were talking to a couple who had never seen Canadian money and thought it was hilarious that all of our bills are different colour. I thought it was ridiculous that all the american bills were the same colour!!! You know how many times I almost shelled a one hundred dollar bill for a porter or room service staff???

It's not as coloured as our money but it's a HUGE improvement!!

On my first cruise, we had no idea of the need to tip the staff. What a surprise that last day was. Of course, I was pretty naive to the whole cruise thing. My brother and I were able to just scrape together the money to tip. We had to Credit Card our way home. On the next cruise I was more savy. Having had to support myself through college on tips alone (my salary was a joke) so I am very sensitive to the matter.

So did we ever figure out what happened to Jeff???

Is he in a time-out for being a bad boy???

If you're lurking Jeff, HI!!

I miss my greenbacks! They seem to be changing the appearance of the American money every 6 months. Frequently that means that they end up having to reporgram all the machines to recognize the new money. That means that you are having your money spit back out at you for about two months while they catch up.

Hmm yeah that would suck!! But I am still glad that there's some colour in there now!!

I have not heard anything about him but I can not help but thinking that it was either myself of Scott that scared him away.

Geez Carrie...

Your superwoman!! I've never seen anyone get as much done in a day as you do. Where do you get the energy? (and the time)

I wanna be just like you when I grow up.

Tropical Storm Melissa and the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen weakened early Sunday in the eastern Atlantic, forecasters said. Neither posed an immediate threat to land.

Dh says that bad thing is that when I crash at night I crash. I can be sitting at the computer and say I am going to bed. As soon as I am in bed, I am asleep within 10 minutes.

Whew! Good to know. All these storms seem to be named after our disers.

Does that mean the next one will be called...

NANCY?

No more storms... it's getting too close to our sail date.

 

[Tart Annihilator]

[MinnMick01]

I do not like Hotwire, they do not tell you the name of the hotel you are looking at.
