September 17, 2006 - 11 Night Southern Caribbean Part 2

[@GoofyNut]

I'm going counting the till we down on Wednesday after work.

It's been one reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly long time since I had some time off from work except for the holidays.

Did some more packing last night ... most of the hubby's stuff. Can't forget the Eagles Shirts and the Penn State Jersey! Looks like there is going to be a lot of "team specific" garb on the ship.

Excitement is building ... listened to some of the "Sail Away Party Music" from the shore survival cd and did some ing!

work is screaming for me to come back to reality .....

Safe trip to all who are traveling this weekend and may we all get to DCL in one piece!

Question...SKYPE works onboard the ship??

I've been concerned about not "talking" to DD while we are away ...if I could make this work...that would be very cool!

Good noon time to you all.
Congratulations Kay, What a blessing to your family.
Happy birthday, and anniversary to all that I have missed these last couple of weeks. Best wishes to all of you.
Tracy have a relaxing time on the Magic. We're looking forward to seeing you next week on the Wonder. I have a couple of truffles with your name on them.
With the renovations here, Lamar's idea of grabbing a packed bag and hopping on the ship is especially appealing at the moment. I have shaved two complete boxes off the packing list. Toys for another day.
My shoulder is holding up with the help of C shots. The Rotator cuff is frayed and no surgery is scheduled at this time. I will wait until we get back and I also see the spine specialist. C4, C5 may be involved.
Lamar's move to Carpenter house with Dad has gone very well and we are all adjusting to the fractured schedule. We have alot of help for dad and a great contractor so it's all under control.
Some of our initial plans have been scaled back as far as activities on the ship, and we will probably spend alot more time just Chillin'. While it seems inconveinient, this trip could not come at a better time for the two of us.
Thanks to all of you who have given of your time and energy over these months to make this such a special and happy time. See you onboard.
Best Regards,
Dianna

Does anyone know if any of the ports have a wireless internet connection? Or any of the coffee shops or stores near the ship port offer WIFI? I read where they are not offering the unlimited internet on the
ship We are taking our lap top so I can be in contact with the young lady running my store, plus I can check my accounts to make sure she is posting everything. I thought about skype, but that seems like it would cost more, (I talk more than I type) We have been to several ports, but have never taken a lap top.

Here's what I did this morning

Also, I see I will be stuck in traffic tomorrow as the launch was recheduled till about 10 minutes after we get off the plane

Back to work.

Tracy-I'll be watching you at the port tomorrow. Make sure you wave at the WEBCAM and let us know what you are wearing so we can see you wave from the TWOPALMS cam after leaving the port. HA

Also, when are you in Key West? They have a cam there that you can actually walk up to and wave or carry a sign and send us a message at a designated time.

When we were in Key West last year on DVC owner's cruise we went to this really great pirate clothing store. It is somewhere close to Hemmingway's house. Needless to say, I spent alot of money there for new pirate clothing for DH, myself and my daughter who just had to have a dress that they had.

Okay. I'm so jealous you are going to be on the Magic. Warn the crew that the westbound PC cruisers will be invading their ship next May (just tell them "those lanyard people")

I will have lime green on! You probably can't see my toes on the webcam

Where is the webcam in Key West? I can be there by 1:00 for sure!

Thanks Tracy!!

Okay...now I need what to make this work?? Other than downloading onto my computers...a headset w/a mic?

There are a bunch in Key West. One in Mallory Square for sure, but there is another one in Sloppy Joe's (which is on Duvall, I think). You can get up close and personal there.

You tell us the time and place, we can all log on and see the message you send.

You can go to the FLorida Keys tourist site and pick the webcam spot you want to go visit. It is at www.fla-keys.com

Nothing. I'll send you an e-mail with an older version to dowload. Many of us are having problems with the new version so you may want to download this.

I know that in St Thomas there is an internet café across the street from where we dock. Maybe I need to go to starbucks website and see if they have a store near the dock. Mike
