What is the route of the Magic back to the port? I know a PP said that they will skirt around the storm but just how close will they get? Here's hoping the seas aren't too rough for them. We found out how rough seas feel!

In May 2007 when we went (our first and only-so far) we had unexpected 60mph winds the first night. It was a ROUGH night. The closet door kept making the wooooosssshhhhh SLAM noise but I was afraid to get out of bed to secure it. It was THAT rough! Several crew members said that it was their roughest trip ever. Not sure if it was the roughest EVER but apparently it was for them-us too!

Another use for duck tape, one can tape the bottom of the closet door closed to stop the Woooooossssshhhhh SLAM.

It was quite the storm! It was ok because we needed a break from the sun. We are seeing a lot of familiar faces and a lot of new ones too. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 1st.

Arriving in Columbia shortly.

Got this from Tracy This morning,

she said the rain storm last night as they went thru the canal was Quite the storm..

DIS Tag?? Can I be the base? There's no way I can outrun you.

Regina, I hope we make it to Castaway Cay at least once because I was hoping to play jet ski tag with you.

I remember Joe and I couldn't keep up!!! If I had read your write up BEFORE we went... who knows!!! Great article Regina. I was laughing so hard... I felt the very same way, and DH and I shared a jetski!

Hazel is busy getting all her clothes picked out for the cruise, me, I'll probably wait until Friday or Saturday to get my stuff together........

We are both still in a daze that we are actually doing this so soon to the cruise date, but it sure adds to the excitement!!!

Can't wait to finally meet verandah man! Loved the video

Hey kids,
Yep, fell off of the face of the earth & pulled myself back up by my boot straps. For those of you who don't know me, Hello. For those of you who do- We are due to come on the cruise, however- I cannot promise that we will actually be there. Too long & dreary of a story to pass on. I didn't want to reappear, until I was certain that there was a 95% chance we would actually make it on the ship.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you & hope that this cruise is as much fun as they all have been.

BTW- to the lanyard committee, please don't worry about making some for us. I understand the hassel of being last minute. I'm not going to bring the fish extender either. This will be a pretty low key event for us.
