I love MY nerd! (in undergrad, he had a double major of math and astronomy and a minor in, well, physics... being one class shy of a triple major!)I love cruising; I've done it many times. I may be odd, but I really enjoy all the on-board activities, so I like extra days at sea.
Excursions: The 4 and up age limit is not about size, and it's not about maturity level. It's about insurance. Insuring those under 4 for some excursions can be ridiculously expensive. My guess is that they'll have his age on record and will be cross-checking; it's all done by computer in the database. You can ask, but it's not worth lying about Keaton's age. (And the "free" part is nice, too.)
There really weren't any that I was DYING to take him on, there were just a few Jeep ride excursions that I thought our family would enjoy, but we'll just have to plan something else! We stop at 6 different ports in 7 days, we'll probably do excursions at 3 of them. I want to try Parasailing (Drew wants to try it with me), I want to let the kids snorkel and play on the beach (they've never seen a beach), and Andy wants to do a submarine or SNUBA thing, which he's on his own, I'm way too clausterphobic for that! Plus those excursions are flippin' expensive!
As some of you may know (and many of you may NOT care), I'm a cross-stitcher. One of the companies that hand dyes fabrics has a contest annually, more or less, where we enter the stuff we stitched on their fabric. They just posted their finalists and I made it in two categories! YAY! I'm so excited!!
Being a finalist gets me nothing, except glory (or something), but it's always neat that someone else thinks your stitching and fabric choices are good.
In the small category: http://www.silkweaver.com/showcases/2009/2009smallfinalists.htm mine is Santa Paws towards the bottom half of the page.
In the large category: http://www.silkweaver.com/showcases/2009/2009largefinalists.htm mine is the very last one, Winter Queen.
Winners announced tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed for me!
How can you not like being trapped on a boat where they're constantly offering you refills?

Missing you by a measley 5 days! Although I won't really be missing you at all. I'll see you on my way down and on my way back.
I need to get me one of those AP's and then convince DH we NEED to get our moneys worth and go more often. On second thought, I'm pushing my luck with once a year at this point. 
Called back at 7:00, went through all the prompts and at 7:03 I was told that my expected wait time was "under 9 minutes". And about 19 minutes later I finally got to talk to someone! But I managed to get most of my reservations within about 15 minutes of the time I wanted. A few within 30 minutes. And one I had to take a whole hour from what I wanted. All in all not too bad!
