OOH!! Day 8 looks great! And I didn't even feel seasick.... Must have been the food and the entertainment. The food looks great; as did the formal pictures of the boys and girls. Love your Cheong Sam. You looked very pretty and elegant in it.

Thank you! I wore it to my wedding so very happy to be able to squeeze into it.

I have an allowance of 250 MB per day for the next 3 days....broadband resets close of play on Monday.

Not long to go now...

It looks like you had another wonderful day. I hope that everyone doesn't get sick though.

Thankfully (and rather amazingly seeing as we saw each other so much) no one else got sick!

[PrincessInOz]

LOST 4 days worth of photos??? OMG. I'm hyperventilating!

I love the pictures on the MarioKarting. When you mentioned it, I had visions of seeing Mario and Luigi; but instead the countryside is spectacular.

Thanks for sharing.

Now that you mentioned sunsets. I just realised that I DID NOT include any photos of sunsets or sunrises in my photobook. DOH!

As for the dress, I only just managed to squeeze into it last year and er...well its not quite as loose as it used to be! Look closely and you'll see the bulges. No amount breathing in was going to help!

Thanks for reading. I shouldn't have used in jokes. Malcolm described the activity as Mariokarting to Elliot and the name stuck! I did more than hyperventilate over the lost photos...

Jan 12 - Going through the Panama Canal!

Jan 13 Another day at sea

 

[PrincessInOz]

Shushh - your photos are amazing! I love and hate the ones of Panama Canal. It was wonderful to get a rail side view but those waves.......

The character pics are fabulous and your daughter's braids are very pretty. Did they stay in long?

I'm on a roll!

Thank you...

I don't think I'm doing a good job of convincing you to go on a cruise!

The braids stayed in for about 4 weeks. Her hair by then had grown enough to make the braids loose.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Shushh....would you go back to Costa Rica again, if the land tours were better organised?

Yes! Unfortunately Puntarenas was a port that was in a poor area and there was not too much around the port itself. The people were incredibly warm and happy. We will definitely head back to Central and South America when the children are a bit older and can handle the more adventurous activities that Malcolm and I would like to do.

Jan 15 - Many many characters...

 

[PrincessInOz]

Many many characters indeed. You are doing a great job selling a Disney cruise to me. I just need to find perfectly flat seas to sail in.

Jan 16 - Pirates In The Caribbean

 

[QuirkyButterfly]

Sorry I haven't been here in a while, but I am all caught up now. I am glad that you are having fun.

Wow bingo, I have only played it once and that was when I was 10 and staying with my Nana. I tell you some of those old folks are viciously competitive.

The photos of the Panama Canal are very interesting, it is so fascinating how the ship go through.

How cute that the waiter cut up the food on the plate that is so sweet.

I really want to see the Toy Story Musical, do you think they will ever take it off the ship and make it a "proper" show. I would love to see it if it tours.

 

[PrincessInOz]

I love the dress-up! Looks like another fun day....till you got on deck
