My son not too thrilled @ pirate themed dinner (thought the bandana was lame lol)

Barb - same son was creeped out by the 'unsantized' conditions of Nassau, we took a detour thru what the tour guide called The Hood, said even the natives didn't venture out after dark.
Ardasta Gardens was pretty cool - got to march with flamingos!

our porthole, Cat 8

now, i'll be dreaming the day away again.

i'm just reading along.
not much to add as i don't do cruises.

nope....don't sound right to me.....(sorry to say) ...sounds like a disaster from the "get go"

Oh, it has "disaster" written all over it. I'm trying to remain hopeful and positive, but it just keeps getting harder and harder.

I will bite my lip. I will drive to Nashville in freaking January (hello? mountains in the winter? ). I will dress my kids up. We will all attend and wish them well.

Then we'll sit back and hope for the best, but I'm afraid we're not expecting it.

Honestly, I'm hoping they prove us all wrong. It just seems so bizarre.

On DCL, it means it stops @ their private island, Castaway Cay ; twice in one sailing. Usually, they all only stop once; sometimes on a 7 day twice...didn't know the 4 day ones did a double dip.

This is opposed to back-to-back, where some report that they book 2 sequential sailings on same ship...sounds enticing too.

Tricia - my brother did a similar thing, but much more effectively, I think. For his girlfriend's 30th birthday, he arranged a surprise tour to Ireland. Her family is very Irish and she's always wanted to visit. He told her they were flying home (to his house in the Detroit area) and that they were going to go to Windsor for a party for one of his old friends from college that she didn't know, so it would better if she got a passport. Then surprised her with the trip to Ireland. Them in front of some place in Ireland (I'm not too knowledgeable about Ireland!):



Then on her actual birthday, he proposed to her. The rest of the tour group was aware of what was going to happen, but it was a complete surprise to her. Them shortly after the proposal - note the ring:

Then surprised her with the trip to Ireland.

If it had been a surprise, to either one of them, then I could understand. But they both knew that it was going to happen. They decided a few months before the trip to get married, but they staged a proposal on the trip to Ireland (or, I say "staged"... they say "made it official"...) complete with photographer and everything. I just do get it.

BUT, it's not for me to get. Whatever makes them happy, hey... whatever!
I just find it all a bit confusing. So much about it seems to be for appearances, but my SIL continues to tell me that this is what "everyone" is doing these days. I guess I'm just out of touch!

for those of you sitting there stumped, the book release/talk of the week......

I'm trying to decide when to go. I don't want to get in line early since last year someone ran in and yelled out the spoilers. I'm thinking if I arrive around 12:30, the crazies should be gone and I can just pick up my book and go home and read.

 

[marciemi]

I must not be a big enough fan since I was thinking tomorrow morning would be adequate! No, really, I'm going to save it for the trip next week either way, so why stay up until midnight?!

I need to read it right away since both my kids will be starting it tonight and I need to be done when they are or else who knows what I'll find out that I don't want to know. We love discussing the books and so I'm sure they will be anxious to discuss it by tomorrow afternoon.

Ooh. Just listened to Rowling read the first chapter on a livestream at http://dl.groovygecko.net/anon.groovy/clients/bloomsbury/bl01.html

The book is getting really, really dark!!! She is only reading Chapter 1 and there are no spoilers other than that.
