September 12, 2009 ~ Last Call for Tortola!

Ahhh, that looks really nice right about now. Much better than this office chair.

lol Emily.....exactly!

YES YES YES!!! I would LOVE to do a Castaway Cay day with you. That's exactly where I would put my chair too.....right on the water's edge. How DIVINE!

I miss it because John doesn't do beaches.......he hates the sand. How about Mark? Does he like the beach?

Mark doesn't mind the beach but he prefers to spend most of his time in the water rather than on the beach as he can't take the heat so much. We both love CC though We can have a DIS camp on the beach!

Fine with me.....I'll ask John if he can tough it out for one day.....we'll have to get him a cabana and keep the drinks coming.......then he might not mind so much.

I'm with Mark too.....if it's too hot, I need to be wet. As soon as I dry off, I'll jump right back in.

For those that don't like the beach too much get to Serenity Bay early real early and go to the left Joe and I went back there last cruise and it was great there is a pathway back there to the restrooms and the BAR!!! so you can escape really fast whenever you want to for a drink or break from the sand plus I think it is more shady back there than the main section of Serenity Bay. The reason I say get there early because there is only about 15 chairs. The only downside to hiding back there is the water bottom has alot more growth but if you wear water shoes no problem.

Thanks for the tip Maureen....now all we need to do is find a hammock!

I remember there was one hammock back there. I will check when we go next month.

Where do you live in the Pocono's we have been up there camping and my girls went to girl scout camp there many years ago. We live in Upper Chichester about 5 minutes from Delaware.

NICE.....we own land in Delaware.....we go there all the time for our escapes to the ocean. We could do a minimeet if you're up for it. We would come down there and then continue on to Delaware for the weekend. I would love that.

We're in Saylorsburg, just North of Wind Gap and West of Stroudsburg. We're next door to Brodheadsville at Route 33 and 209.

Thanks for checking out the hammock.....you're going next month???? How great for you. Which cruise are you doing?

Weren't you on the WB PC Repo? Your name looks very familiar, but I don't recall running into you on there.

gotta love those hammocks too! we normally get there pretty early and have been lucky enough to grab a hammock a couple of times I do wish there was an easily accessible pathway (boardwalk do I mean?) along the beach....it can be quite hard to walk along sometimes.


mmmmmmmm......... Serenity Bay..........one Konch cooler and one beer please.....

We also have a place in DE we are in PotNets in Long Neck love it down there we are on the bayside about 30 minutes from the ocean also can't beat the taxfree shopping at the outlets We have very good friends that live downthere so we go down all year not just in the summer.

No we weren't on the WB PC. The DCL cruises we have been on so far:
October 4, 06, Dec 28, 07 NYE, Sept 24,08 BB Sept 27, 08 Double Dip.
We are going on our next cruise Nov 30th on the Wonder first time for that ship. We really like cruising been on a couple of Carnival cruises also.

I love the area you live in Joe always wanted to buy property up there but we ended up down the beach since that is where the girls and I wanted to be maybe someday we will buy up your way.

I was actually trying to find a picture of the two of us to post. On the Double Dip my DDBF took tons of pictures still waiting for them to get them to me especially since our older DD got engaged on that trip so I really want a copy of those pictures.

Now I know why you seem so familiar......I was booked on the Sept 08 DD and checked out that thread. But I ended up cancelling it because I did the PC instead. We would love to see pics. I just posted some of me and DH on this thread recently, so you know what we look like.

Me and DH John are ocean people.....don't ask me what we're doing in the mountains. We bought land in Laurel, DE but it's got a Georgetown address. It's in lower, slower Delaware. We're about 15 minutes west of Bethany Beach. I love it there.

How awesome that you had such great moments to remember on the DD cruise. When is your DD's wedding? That must be so exciting for you.

I am very familiar with Laurel and Georgetown (Walmart RT 113) we are about 30 minutes from you we are right off Rt 24 and 5 We are right across the bay from Dagsboro on the Indian River side and Dewey on the Rehoboth Bay side love to take the boat over to the Rusty Rudder.

Wedding is still in the planning stages right now she it talking about March 2010 but she also has mentioned getting married on the beach and having her reception at Baywood CC in Long Neck. I really need to narrow her down soon so the fun can begin

Wow, that makes us neighbors in DE....we should do a minimeet there. We could meet at the Rusty Rudder next time you're down there. Sounds like fun.

Oh yea, after you pin her down with an exact date and place......the FUN (chaos) begins! Why is that always the way? John and I always said that if you could get through the wedding preperations together then the marriage will be easy. Good Luck and Enjoy!

That would be great to do minimeet I will let you know the next time we head down.

Thank you for the Good Luck on the wedding plans I know we will need it

Don't want to bring everyone down but this is very much on my mind right now and I need to tell someone. (sorry Maz I know you've already heard this)

Some of you may remember the very sad hit and run killing of my best friend's daughter in Feb 2007. Joanne was killed by a woman who wasn't taxed/insured, and then drove away from the scene leaving Jo for dead. Her husband then helped her to set fire to the car to destroy any evidence

Just about 10 weeks ago after much heartache and a lengthy case, the woman was given just 9 months in prison, her husband a few months and a neighbour who also helped them was sentenced. Nothing would ever bring Jo back of course but this was not justice.

Yesterday the courts saw fit to release all three of these wicked people after serving just weeks. It makes a mockery of the British justice system I think, and tells my friend and her poor husband and other children, that Jo's life was worth almost nothing to other people.

I am so angry, and so sad for all the family. I don't want this to turn into a heavy debate but I had to vent somewhere...thanks for listening.

Umm she was named after the town.. since umm that is where she was conceived.. According to her parents.. Agreed I love that beach too. We love watching the Dolphins that seem to love being there..
