I am joining in very late but wanted to say hi to you all! I just decided to take this cruise recently and just found you all recently as well. I look forward to seeing your doors, green Mickey ears, and I think I saw mention of shirts and saying "ah, there they are!"
Now I have to start reading the previous 1,000 threads to catch up!

Just wanted to say hello. Watched Syrianna and walked 8 miles while doing so- then I took a long, long nap.


Where the heck is Peter?

How do you watch a movie while you walk??

Welcome, I would recommend looking at the first page, post #5 to find the overall events. I wouldn't read back, everything major is on that page and is updated.

Wow! I don't get to do this often (at all) .... but let me be the first to offer you ....

Don't worry about trying to read 1000 threads, just read all 15,000+ posts in this thread and you'll be fine! There will be a test before you can board!

Seriously, though ... Check out Page 1 Post 5 for some very important info. If you have a question, don't worry if it's been asked before, just ask, and it will be answered. Please feel free to join the madness in posting, but be warned, there are a lot of inside jokes going around, too, so if you don't understand something, ask about that too.

Duh! I was picturing you walking outdoors, of course.

Where would I find the past monthly newsletters? I can't remember where I saw them or even if I posted this before. Having a senior moment.

I wish that was possible.

Lawrence of Antigua

Since we have many new people since I last posted about the Lawrence of Antigua tour, I thought I would say something about it again.

There are actually 15 people from this group signed up for the Lawrence of Antigua tour. This is going to be a great tour in the morning, with a drop off at a nice beach afterwards for those who want it, back to the ship for those who don't. Lawrence returns to the beach later to take those of us at the beach back to the ship.

There is still room for more to join us.

Here is more info about the tour from Lawrence:

"Tour last just over three hour, we will be visiting historical sites like English Harbour, Nelson's Dockyard, Shirley Heights, in fact the entire national park. There is a $5.00 each entrance fee to enter into the national park, that will take care of all the sites we will be visiting inside the national park. We will be driving through the Rain Forest after, then you will see the beautiful coastline on the south western side of the island, then I will take you to the beach where you can relax as long as you wish. A restaurant and other facilities is on the beach.

I will take you back to the cruise ship at the end of the day, there is when you pay cash. Tour plus beach $45. US each. Tour only $35.US each.
Please note, I can take up to 28 person."

Very young children are free and older children are half price. 12 and over count as adults.

PM me if you are interested in joining us!

I haven't seen him. Or 'heard' from him, either.

It wasn't my turn to watch him.

And, I apologize (in advance) for my 5th or 6th post - ever.

 

[LetsGoSteelers]

I can put a set together of each color,

hot pink, blue and the DISgreen

I'll check and see how much it would be to ship to you, otherwise we are thinking of shipping some stuff to the ship directly, that may be easier.

If you are serious, this would make me very happy!

Three of us - need one of each color if possible.

Do you use PayPal? I could send you payment today for the mugs and shipping or delivery. I could get them from you on the ship, or if you don't want to pack them, you could ship them to me this week.

Please PM me if you seriously have extras that you would sell to me. THANKS!

Just a few minutes ago I learned of a prayer mission our church sent to China that was arrested while conducting a Christian gathering. NOW that is serious stuff to some extent. A 2nd email already noted the team was released after being held longer then the other 50 Christians who were gathered - but the messages conveyed were very very brief and urgent in conveying they were safe but could not talk more.


Captain Crash,
We will keep these missionaries in our prayers. We take these kind of Freedoms way to for granted here.

Packing report:…… We are about got it together, Bags are weighing in at 46, 43, and 44 pounds, have to pack Lynn’s dive gear, waiting for it to dry. I am pretty pleased with the weight of the bags. Granted our dive gear is a whole lot less than what we would take on a dive only trip. Like no U/W camera, and backup everything.

Travel Tip: weigh your bags before ya get to the airport to avoid a $urpri$e with an over weight bag. I have a pack scale we carry and use to weigh our bags when on the road.

We will be shipping stuff to OKW as well as shipping stuff home.

ok you can;t post something like that without providing pictures!!!!

must have pictures!!!!

Had a huge Monsoon last night. Lost one of our 25 palm trees. Also ripped off the honeysuckle that was growing (for over five years) on trellises attached to our house in our entryway. Leslie is very bummed - loves the smell when they are blooming. Very strong!

Went to Costco buy milk!

A new movie player (already have one), a Playstation PSP (we have to have one to play on the plane Dad - smile, bat eyelashes - Dad melts - score!!), a . . . . . . . it turned out to be a very painful visit! Costco will get you every time!
