September 12, 2009 ~ Last Call for Tortola! Thread 2

[granmaz]

Hi Peg, and Hi to Woody and Mrs Woody!!!

 

[iankh]

Hello ALL!!!!

My sister told me to check in the new thread so here I am!!!!

I've been re-connecting with people from my old neighborhood (past) and finding them on FACEBOOK!!!! It's great!

Peg, I'm sorry to break this news to you. Your sister is a well known bully. That is all that people speak about on the Champs de Lyse.

(She also bullies her way into most of the fashionable homes).

Just reserved yesterday through Mouse Fan Travel. Got a great deal on a verandah cabin that somone apparently canceled. We were on our first Disney cruise in December (Mousefest 4-day on the Wonder). That was to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. This trip we'll be celebrating DW's 60th birthday.
Sam and Joanie Steele
Hershey, PA

Welcome aboard

We will both be celebrating our 60th Birthdays too--but not in the month they occurred just a couple months late. Our 40th Anniversary is in August so we figure we can count that for this cruise too!

I have added you to post 1 on page 1 of this thread. Please check to be sure I made no typos and let me know if I did or if you want to add or change anything.

We used to live in Bethlehem PA and have been to Hershey a couple times. Love the chocolate odor that lingers!! I am a fan of Hershey's chocolate over all other kinds!

Not exactly.....I have tried a lot of things. We keep trying new things to see what works. But the leg keeps changing too.....sometimes it's infected, sometimes it's not....sometimes it's one leg, sometimes it's two....sometimes it leaks, sometimes it doesn't, etc. I know that the next thing to try is to get rid of the edema. Not so easily done. There are a couple of things I can try and see if it works. It's all trial and error. I also have to lose weight. Also not so easily done. I will keep trying.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

There has to be a plan that makes a difference. It may be tough, it may require things you do not like but you have done hard stuff before You are a strong person--YOU CAN DO IT!! WE KNOW YOU CAN! whatever it takes.

That is very..um.. green

SOOOOO---do we want to add this to our list of Tortola foods? If so, what is its name--Tortola Treat?

 

[JLSE50]

From some earlier posts, here is some fun we had with food and supplies. I added the new cake.


HERE IS OUR PHONE

FAVORITE FOODS FOR OUR CRUISE

Woody suggested an official food--Tortillini

Notsolittlemermaid Cheri suggested another cruise food: Chocolate TORTola

ibouncetoo (Jackie) noticed that the berry looks like a turtle!

TORTOLA TREAT

SPECIAL DRINKS

newgeneb suggested the Martinitortorly But we don't know yet what's in it besides GIN!

Could it be Gin and Papaya nectar?

lg3 suggested that our drink could be the "Tequitortola"
Which also sounds good but how shall we make it?
Tequila and MANGO nectar!?!?
or
Margaritta and Mango nectar?


EXCURSIONS

jship has a suggestion for an activity!
"Factory Tour, pick me up on the way back!!!"

I need to go and have a close look as I have forgotten the other islands!!! I seem to remember you can go up a cable car for a great view somewhere, and that can be done on our own.

Tortola - I think the baths would be a good choice, but a tour of the island would be nice too.

You're going to wait until September for a bath?

 

[ragdoll]

Anyone looking at excursion options, or other plans?

I loved Coral World and the adjacent beach in St. Thomas. I am hoping to go there again. I loved swimming with all of the fish. There were so many of them. Haven't begun to research Tortola yet.

Hi Peg, and Hi to Woody and Mrs Woody!!!

HI there MIssy!!!!!

Peg, I'm sorry to break this news to you. Your sister is a well known bully. That is all that people speak about on the Champs de Lyse.

(She also bullies her way into most of the fashionable homes).

Indeed, she's bullied me my entire life, "Peg, let's plan your life"... OH, actually that was Dianne, but Jackie always "helped". . . does that count? Actually, Jackie is the best sister a girl could have - she DID in fact GIVE me my first Arabian horse!!!!

Yes, she did... true story!

 

[sssteele]

What deck and side of the ship are you on?

Deck 6 (same as Dec) aft.
