[Buckeye Gal]

The necklace and earring set I purchased on ebay arrived today! It's stunning and better quality than I was expecting! Can you believe it was just $14 + $5 S&H?!!

Now which dress to wear it with. Hmmmm....

That is very pretty! It would look great with my red suit on semi formal night.

Well, have just got home after having my hair cut....my goodness it's short!!! I feel like I've been scalped! Ah well, it should grow quickly I hope....must remember to tell her not to cut it soooooo short next time!

So you got your ears lowered huh?

Also I am still looking into how to get to Montserrat Monastery. I think I'm leaning towards the train to cable car. Any suggestions?



Can you pay for the HOHO bus on the bus with a credit card?

For the credit card, I think so. Not 100% sure but I remember being excited about not having to carry that much cash on me. Maybe someone else can confirm. I know at the main stop you can. Also, think you can at the actual bus stop but will take up time. You might get looks.

You can pick up the Metro from Plazy Catalunya and also buy your ticket there for 1: cable car up the mountain or 2: train up the mountain. The cable car exit is "the first Monserrat" stop and the 2nd one, which if I remember correctly, is the next to the last line stop. We bought the tickets at the metro stop in Plaza Catalunya to take the train up. Both cable and train will take you up in about the same time. Cable care goes slow but the sights are amazing. Take a good camera.

Be aware of what you buy because we accidentally got off on the "first" Monserrat metro stop, which was the cable car exit and we ended up having to pay another 5-7 euros to ride the cable car up because we actually had the train tickets. We bought the tickets right there but the guy didn't have change so we had to wait a few minutes till he got some change. Ride was in an open windows cable car so if anyone is a bit squeamish about heights, probably not the best route to take. The train is very twisty and crowded. Get there early and make sure you get in line to see the Black Madonna and get that out of the way. The place is very amazing and very peaceful. I would love to stay at the hotel there. SIGH.

We are flying in the day of - we seem to be the ones getting in the latest!

Do you mind me asking what time you get in?

Dont sweat it , We are only in one but were giving to anyone who has a fish extender ...the FE gift that we got we had to order 1000 of them to get a deal ... so needless to say on the first Sea day we will be starting at the bottom of the ship and working our way up dropping our FE gift off at every FE hangin outside a door ...

That will take a few days. Did that last time on our cruise and we were on deck 2. Tiring but fun.

And as for exercising, Cpt Jack doesn't need to exercise anymore, he's way too thin to begin with. He be giving that cruise line's Jack a run for his money. Sorry Cpt. Hope it won't make me walk the plank.

Oh and if I happen to get a wee rum bottle, I'm going to assume it's from the Cpt. then we'll know where all the rum has gone.


SIGH.....all this talk about Cpts and the Mouse makes me want to visit the him. Wonder who I can corral to go with me?

Pretty bored tonight, poor old Mark has been at work for nearly 15 hours today so far and is still there.....No idea what time he'll get in.....I hate to think! So here I am, trying to decide what to do with myself...must find something cruise related to do!

Oh dear, poor Mark. I have lots of boring cruise related stuff to do like printing out the documents!!

Much more fun is online shopping!!!

 

[Frodo UK]

We usually manage 1 and 1/2 laps of Deck 4!!! It gets so boring!! However we do walk up and down the stairs almost all the time.

We could only do that if we brought our dogs with us

Riiight!

Btw. I ordered THE dress. So excited.

Acutally I am a little superstitious. So, this is pretty early for me getting into the preparation mode. But you guys are so fun to read with planning and stuff.
So I ordered my dress. *woohoo* But delivery takes 4 (!!) weeks.

They would help you up the stairs, but pull you down!!

Welcome to the thyroid club! Gotta love the way it helps the weight loss (NOT)

Tell me about it! I gained over 2 pounds this week (and didn't eat any differently than what I eat when I've lost weight) and my poor sister gained 4.6 pounds in 5 days! Same thing with her - she ate no differently than the week before. It stinks and it's very discouraging. She left on a Royal Carribean Cruise yesterday so the gain wasn't the best way to start off vacation...did I mention that the week before she had lost 3 pounds.

We usually manage 1 and 1/2 laps of Deck 4!!! It gets so boring!! However we do walk up and down the stairs almost all the time.

I did one loop around Deck 4 on my last cruise and although it was fun, it was very muggy since we were in the Carribean. So instead, I would walk around the inside decks and look at all of the awesome door decorations! I'll probably do that again this cruise.

DH and I are going out for dinner tonight with some of his friends. We're actually going to a sushi/Japanese buffet. What I love about it is that I can still enjoy but eat somewhat healthy at the same time! Here's the website if you want to check it out. http://minado.com/

Sometimes the weight gain is hormone related and sometimes it just happens. Then, if you stick to your diet, you can find you lose more than normal the next week. Very odd isn't it?

Delivering FE gifts is very good for exercise!!!


I just can't fancy sushi at all, just can't face the thought. However it is healthy as you say.

Only managing to skim through the pages, you lot are moving along quickly. Tricia and I are off to the Lake District for the weekend tomorrow for Tricias birthday, looking forward to the break from the usual routine. hoping for some good weather after the last week of wet, cool days but we will take whatever.
We are staying at the http://www.derwentlodgehotel.co.uk, we stayed here last year and really enjoyed it. Forgot it is the start of the main holiday period so expect it will be busy.
Will try posting some pics as we will take the netbook to try and keep up with you all. This cruise is really coming up quickly now and we will have to start doing some planning or we will be the ones wandering around looking lost .

For those folks who have an ITunes account. Some how my account was hacked. They charges close to 1000.00. What I have learned from this is NEVER keep your credit card on file to auto charge. I have reported it to ITunes (but am not holding my breath becasue they have still not contacted me) and to Capitol One (they have been awesome so far).

I would print ours out too if the printer was working I like the second idea mush more...have been looking at Becky's favourite shops so I can check what to bring her back! (how's that for a dedicated mother!)

Riiight!

Ooooh! How exciting! At least that gives it time to arrive before you leave....

That's it! Having the hypothyroidism just makes losing weight that much harder...and I really don't need it to be harder than it is! Hope your sister has a great cruise anyway I like your idea of walking round the inside too!

I just can't fancy sushi at all, just can't face the thought. However it is healthy as you say.

The only time I had sushi (at the California Grill) I was very ill after so it really put me off...mind you could haev been the drink too!

That's dreadful! Hope you manage to get it sorted. It's always my worry if you have to give out your credit details.....
