September 12, 2009 ~ Last Call for Tortola!

Yeah, I got that email too! Wow, $3900!!! Not even when we were getting $2 to the £ would that have been feasible... Shame as I would've loved that for DH and myself but I'm still reeling from the cost...

I was hoping it was a Typo..

Just Think.......
3 more days and our "Cruise" won't be "next year" anymore....

I can hardly wait. The way 2008 flew by, Sept 12 will be here before we know it.

Well, I sent in an inquiry and got an answer emailed today and all I can say is... Ouch!!! The Yacht will accommodate up to 10 guests and is $3900.00. Wayyyyyyyyyyy to pricey for our budget, even with 10 people to fill the boat.. We were expected it to be in the $1,000 - $1,500 range

Oh well... On to "other" excursions we go..

Wasn't there also one for a villa somewhere? I was flipping through the travel channel and saw a villa at Virgin Gorda that was available 'for rent'. The place was HUGH and probably very, very pricey!

I saw both of those. $3900, now I know why they call those Signature Excursions. You have to sign your life away to take them.

I'm packing for our next cruise. We embark Sunday at Port Canaveral on the ship next to the Wonder.

Here are some photos of a stateroom like ours. Mariner of the Seas, Cat. E2.

Gee Woody.. I just skimmed through almost all of the pictures and not ONE picture of you in there....



And by the way... no hidden Mickeys... not acceptable...

No hidden Mickeys!?! I'm going to complain.

But there is an ice skating rink, a rock climbing wall, a miniature golf course, a golf simulator, a promenade mall, and a Johnny Rockets.

Anyone we know Jackie???

The lovely and talented Ian & Sukie & Cheri.

I've been browsing through my 2005 WDW Passporter and will be making a list of all the attractions I haven't done yet (in 9 previous visits), as well as a few restaurants I've yet to try. THEN, there are some favorites that I haven't visited in a while that I'd like to try again. I'm really glad this visit will be for a whole week, as the last several have just been for two or three days. PLUS, with Sept heat and humidity, I know I'll need some down time each day.

Woody, I like that they have the bed by the verandah. I always hate having to walk around the beds to get to the couch/vanity/verandah (which is a reason I really like DCL's inside cabins).

[CustardTart]

Hope all my cruisin' mates had a tortolly fab one!!!

Back from a New Year non-event at my MIL's place and if I said 'never again' that would be way too soon!!! Suffice to say, I'm already thinking of plans for this year to prevent a reoccurence...

Anyway, how glad am I that we're going to be boarding the Magic in a few short months - and to think I actually thought about (and got a quote for) adding MIL to the booking!!!

Karen, you were mad to even consider it. Get that thought out of your mine once and for all!!!

Absolutely spot on, Marilyn! I guess I'm just an eternal optimist - or a sucker for punishment... Don't worry, I am completely over the whole notion of how nice it would be for her - my DH says she'd just suck all the joy out of it anyway. Plus our mental health is FAR more important...
