By the way, once I get my cabin number I will post it because I am a magazine aholic and will bring tons - weight and all, I do not care. I would rather read mags then have enough clothes. When I get done with the mag, I will put in my fish extender if anyone wants. I get everything from Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly, food mags and anything with house decorating, family fun, etc. Being an addict is an understatement.

I don't subscribe to any mags anymore. My own guilty pleasure is reading People, US and Entertainment Weekly when I either get hair or nails done. I just may be stopping by your cabin!!

By the way, I have to tell you what I did yesterday. I went to the beach, Gulf side and the water was 83 (why isn't it like that at Castaway) anyway, I was swimming, floating, lounging and I saw this huge thing underway coming at me. First I thought, shadow of some kind, second, seaweed and third school of fish. Then i noticed it was quite huge. I didn't panic but wasn't breathing and it lifted its head from the water and it was a manatee! I was so excited. I love animals, mammals, etc. so the start of my Mother's Day was fabulous as I swam next to a manatee!!!! Had to share

They are a wonderful creature. We did a snorkle trip in Crystal River a few years back. It was a fun time. When we went to the second area just as the boat stopped a mother and calf swam right under us. The calf was just a few weeks old.

These are scans of pictures from the trip.

I also bring my own pillow! One of thoses heavy duty ones, temperpedic ones. And a small white bear. She goes on all my cruises, I take stupid pics of her at all our ports. Really funny pics for the grandkids.

I do something similar Ann. I bring....

My husband just informed me that Crystal River is not close. I was thinking of Crystal Springs. Oops!

That's Planky!!!

Well, it's his UK cousin called Algae and Little Red.

Little Red is a long story from the Panama Repo...but here's a link to my blog which I hope to be updating on the WBTA.

Corinna,

My mom said that on her Med cruise, there was a shopping area to buy wine, etc. after check-in and security but before boarding the ship. Was that the case when you were there?

Michael

Yes and no. The shops were there. They were open when we got in line for the security check point. When we got through security about 5 minutes later, they had closed. This was some time between 10:30 and 11:00 AM. I had planned to get some wine, but we managed to pick up some nice wine at Malta.

Crystal River is along the gulf coast of Florida. It is about 1hr, 45 min from Orlando.

sounds a great idea!

I don't like jogging either, I much rather swimming. I don't think the Capt. would be happy if I jumped of the ship for some swimming in the ocean. Swimming in the pools would just mean alot of turns to complete some decent lenghts.

Michael can lead the morning group. I'll cover the afternoon sessions


Jon

Another swimmer here...makes me dizzy trying to do laps in the ship's pool!

Ahoy mates , Since it is Mothers Day I felt it appropriate to finally come here to the board and tell my story of the last year and why my disappearance for most of it ...First let me say , that without my Mothers help and caring , along with friends and family I may not have made it through this year .

Last June I was hit with my marriage of 15 years was ending , it was a shock and too be honest I wont go into the particulars , but at 41 I was devastated. Of course Mom to the rescue and I couldnt thank her enough , she was there every minute and day, she put her troubles and aliments on the shelf to tend to her son, she gave me hope when I had none and gave me strength when I was weak. She steered me to God and to prayer and eventually everyday became just a bit brighter. It still baffles me to this day that after my 42 years of life my Mom is one of the wisest people I know, she to me is God sent in every meaning of the word and I love her dearly ..

Now almost a year later , Thanks to God , my Mother , My Family and dear Friends, life is grand .. I met a beautiful women who I claim is heaven sent because in my eyes she is .. Her name is Helen and she should be joining Me and my son Destin on this cruise along with her son Sean . On April 27th 2010 after 7 months of dating we made a covenant to each other and God . This cruise will be our delayed Honeymoon as we have lots of particulars we are trying to take care of .... So there you have it ... This Mothers Day mean's soooooooo much to me cause without mine , I may not have weathered the storm... So to my Mom .. I love you endlessly Happy Mothers Day ...

And to all of you , thank you for at least reading ...and now let me share with you pictures of one of the Happiest days of my life ...

Beautiful...we saw Manatees in FL last year, but this is the closest we got.

but I wanted to share just 2 of my 4 legged babe pics from dornach a few weeks ago

My husband just informed me that Crystal River is not close. I was thinking of Crystal Springs. Oops!

I will stop by and rifle through the mags.

I got a kick out of seeing the name Crystal Springs which I am sure is not the one by where we live which is Crystal Springs Reservoir.

Add to that, DD Samantha went to Crystal Springs Uplands School in Hillsborough. http://www.csus.com/
