Feel Like I have been away for weeks.........................I am returning from DEATH LOL, my "Death Bed" that is. I guess my DH and DD thought it would be kind to share BOTH of their germs with me, so I now have the flu with a wicked case of Strep throat to go along with it. I am up and around today, thought I would check in. Silly, but I missed logging in and seeing what everyone was up to. I haven't CUOP'd so I don't know what I've missed. Just thought I would drop in. Hope everyone is well!!!! I am going to lay down but hopwfully will be back later.
 
PJ- We will be doing the repo cruise also in a Cat 11 sideway's. I really like these rooms. We are taking the magic to california In May. We also have a cat 11 for the Halloween cruise room 5009. We Love this room!!!

Looks like we may be going on the Dolphin encounter after all. Girls it works like this. "OH honey I would LOVE to do the Dolphin Encounter it has been a dream of mine to swim with the Dolphins, HEY, Christmas will be right around the corner, it would be a great Christmas present" Then he says, for you or me? I say ME :banana: . I think it worked :rotfl:

I also decided to do the parasailing in CC since Barry has never tried it. He brings up the video of the person that had problems , I say oh Jarasic Park?:confused3 . no apparently he is talking about something he saw on tv where they had to have 5 or 6 people pull a lady down because she wasn't come down on her own, the wind got very strong. But we are doing it anyways. HELL I would'nt mind getting stuck up there at CC for awhile anyways :)

We are going to Megans Bay at St Thomas, almost sure of this one, depends on my Dad and Barry. We did St Johns snorkel tour a few cruises back and I remember they use to have drinking on the way there and back. I am quite certain they canceled drinking heading there due to me, , HONESTLY!, you do not give me a bunch of rum punch, tell me to jump off the boat and swim :lmao: OMG, DH had to come and fetch me because I was to smashed to realize I was swimming where all the boats where coming in :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao:

Pam, sorry to hear you are so sick :sad2: . I hope you are feeling well soon. I was wondering what happened to you :confused3 Isn't it nice that your family shares? Even things you wish they wouldn't.
I have been searching this thread for the larger picture of your DH and DD so I could show Barry. I found a few others you posted but not that particular one. He looks so much like Bob his boss in that one.
Well wishes coming your way pixiedust:

I have had a cat 11 sideways (loved the idea of walking into the middle of the room) booked in the past and switched to save over 45%:cool1: . Then on this cruise we will be in a cat 11 HCP, as DM will be along for the sail.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: That is for the snorkeling/drinking story. :lmao:

On our last cruise, I had booked parasailing at CC. We got there late due to at least one aborted attempt at docking. got off the ship & went right to Marges Barges to sign in. Tha Bahamians running it said they need to go out and check the wind to see if we will be parasailing today. "go sit at the tables over there & we will come get you when we know." so we sat there along with a few other groups. It seemed like a long time and we eventually realized that all the other groups had left. So we went back to Marge's hut to inquire. "nobody came to tell you? we cancelled your parasailing due to the winds. you have 2 options: get on the list for the afternoon; if the wind conditions improve, we can do it. or, get a refund." We chose the refund. It did not look like conditions would improve, and we kindof got a bad impression of the tour operator. It turned out we chose the correct option. The rain poured down about 45 minutes later.

:boat:

So, despite our somewhat negative experience, I DO believe that they are very safety-minded are aware of wind conditions. It seemed to me that they would only do parasailing if the wind was okay.

This past fall at the Contemporary, I convinced Sean to do parasailing with me.:cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9:
That pretty much sums it up. We brought our camera & took pictures, including backstage areas at MK. Now that my need to parasail has been satisfied, we will not be booking that excursion again.
So, I can not comment on the actual experience at CC, but I imagine it would be awesome! I love the feeling of flying/floating very high up, and being able to see everything. Just think, it is a view that very few people will experience, and you'll have the pictures to prove it.

Now for the dolphin encounter...must work on convincing Sean :scratchin ::yes::

Must go, the gym is calling
Have a great day!

Here's a question. Does anyone know if on the parasailing boat at CC they use a motorized winch or do they have to crank it by hand? When we did it at CR, it was motorized. When our time was up, the "captain" pressed a button and we were slowly brought down to the boat. It is probably better than a person cranking a winch and fighting the wind.

Just a thought.

I guess everyone is still asleep.

I have already gone to the grocery store, filled the car with gas and exercised.

:surfweb:

still more to do...

Sweetie.... don't worry, we'll catch you up when you get back. The important thing is REST!!!!! :hug:
 
Good Morning Christine
You have been a busy girl already this morning.

Try the Christmas present thing :) . I figured I was possibally staring almost $700.00 in the face since I promised Barry I would pay for everything we did on the trip including the onboard bill :scared1: . I know he didn't see the whole cruise thing coming for this fall.
I don't think that we are taking the girls on the Dolphin Encounter unless we win money from somewhere, I'm not so sure they will remember it enough to justify the cost. However the rest of the shore time beside the 45 minutes at CC will be spent with them. I know they will want to go to the Oceaneers Club at CC for a bit so we am hoping to jump over to Sernity Bay for a little while.

I did parasailing in Paradise Island while I stayed there for a week in Sept of "88". It was absolulety gorgeous and it seemed to be quite a bit longer then the air time of 5-7 mintes at CC, that seems short. I have not been back to Paradise Island since Atlantis was built, I can only imagine the difference.

Oh, heres another one of my blonde moments :rotfl2:
We stayed on PI for the week and I had such a hard time sleeping since it was my first trip to any island. I must have fallen asleep at a funny time because I remember getting up going outside and walking down towards the beach and finding a cozy little spot on a beach. I came across a local that said to me "What are doing mon ? I said I am waiting for the beach to open. He says "Well mon, you have quite a long time since it is only 1:00am. :rotfl: :lmao:
 
The sun is out again today! Supposed to be in the high 50's! Ethan is going to ride his bike and I'm going to walk beside him when it warms up. I'm so looking forward to spring!

I've had a roast in the crock pot since last night and it's smelling really good! I'm going to make mashed potatoes to go with it. YUMMY!

Kim, how did it go last night? Hope it went good!

I'll talk at y'all later!pirate:
 
Thats right Kimmi I fogot yesterday was the radio Disney and Road to (not going to try to spell it ):rotfl:
I am hoping to take the girls to see it the week they have off from school. I have to keep them busy that week. Maybe the Zoo and The Most Museum.

Paula, a roast sounds so good. DH makes most of the meals and I have to say he is quite the chef. Me I can't cook to save my life. But I can clean up a storm :) So you can only imagine the meals the girls and I have been eatting :rolleyes1 . The school gives the girls Pizza Hut coupons for a free pizza if they read 10 in a month, so that seems to cover 1 night. The rest of the time we are pillaging for food :rotfl:

Off to work, the first day in over a week. I got spoiled!

PS Y'all be sure to leave the boat in one piece for us! I'm jealous that you are cruising with Cass/Timon. I love reading her trip reports and website! That is on beautiful baby they have!

I just heard from his daughter Rosie today by email and she said everything was good just they have been pretty busy

I had gone to the October 20 cruise looking for him and this is the response I got today.
 
Hellllllloooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were on page 2 people!
 
Just catching up.......
Going to watch the Grammy's in a few.
All this excursion talk is exciting...I really want to do the dolphin encounter & a beach day at St John. I want to do a spa day too!!!!
I ordered the DCL Passporter today & can't wait to read it...I have had the Birnbaum guide but never the Passporter so I am excited about that.
 
Anyone know when MNSSHP tickets go on sale???????? I'm thinking it has been May in the past but I can't remember for sure.
 
Melanie, I see you've been to MNSSHP before. Is it really worth it? I keep fighting myself about going. I was considering going to MK that day and MGM that night while the MNSSHP was happening at MK. I guess my only hesitation is how crowded it will be. I don't want to start my vacation fighting with people for a spot to watch the parade. How crowded is it really? Thanks!pirate:
 
Vital, I have gone mid October and on Halloween night, it wasn't bad either night, go to the second parade and seats were easy to come by, just 20 minutes before the parade on Main Street.
