I like the "flip flop tank top" part. Kinda reminded me of something but I just couldn't remember what (Kenny is playing down here May 20-somethin' )

What happened to "Hugs, RonnieJo" ??

Wish I could come do your laundry Cheri. It is widely know I love to do the stuff When Betsy knows I am coming up, she saves it for me so I will have something to do besides read, walk the dog and watch TV I guess I am crazy but I like to do laundry. I like cleaning the kitchen but don't like to cook. Maybe I missed my calling and should have been a housekeeper instead of a mommy and hospital employee for so many years.

It feels like a Monday, but it's Tuesday.





Hope everyone has a nice day!

 

[CamColt]

SIGH! Just think...6 months from right now we will be in Nassau. What will we be doing???? Im thinking either a couples massage or the mud bath (it will be our anniversary).

Im starting to think about what to plan for each day now. Anyone else getting to this point yet?

 

[RonnieJo66]

Katie: where can you get a mud bath?

 

[tinkryansmom]

I like to play in mud but don't think I could take a bath in mud Katie I am just waiting for everyone else to make plans for me.

I just want to go to Castaway Cay!! Since Neil nixed Cheri and I's nanny plans I am guessing not to much excursioning will be coming my way. We will have to tag team that one. DD is saying she wants to try parasailing. But I don't really believe her. Is that bad? The Atlantis thing sounds great to me so I am waiting to see if another $179 deal pops up for July. Kinda doubt it though.

RJ - you getting the rain today? Ho hum.

Cheri - embellishing pockets today The trial fish extender should be done tonight. I will post a picture. How many total do we need to make?

Off to Michaels to pick up ribbon. If anyone is making t-shirts - Michaels has t-shirts for $2!! I am making shirts to wear to Disneyland 1. to torture my husband and 2. it's Lindens first trip!!

Will check in later. Hope Annie is having fun!! Or is she home today??

It used to be called the surial mud bath, but I think it has a differnet name now. Its not a typical mud bath where you go sit in a tub (ewwww). Its a couples thing and you go in and play with different kinds of muds, for different parts of the body, salts, creams, stuff like that. We did it back in 2000, but not again since. I think its time.

 

[CamColt]

I just found it on the Dis...

Rasul Steam Bath - $83.00
A Surial Steam Bath is yours to enjoy in privacy for 60 minutes. You'll be provided with an assortment of muds from Austria. Once you apply them, you enter the steam chamber where the combination of heat and earth removes impurities.

OIC...


We've done that before. I was thinking a "real" mud bath (like when you sit in the vat of warm bubbling mud)

Thanks though

 

[CamColt]

Ok,now you got me looking, LOL!

Have any of you done this? Is this the thing that is on the DCL Travel Channel special where the stingrays eat off the Mickey plate?

I haven't but Johnna did it on our 2005 cruise.



Johnna........input for Katie

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

I did it in 2006...it was ok..Kate liked it but after the feeding..there is not a good way to swim with the stingrays..the water is so cloudy from the sand being kicked up, you can't really see them

back to work now..

 

[CamColt]

Thanks for the info, Betsy. I think the kids will get a kick out of it. I like doing these little short excursions so you dont give up a whole day.

 

[tinkryansmom]

OIC - clever!! Very Clever!!

Katie we did do the Sting Ray thing at CC - at the time Ryan was 5 1/2 - she loved learning about them and feeding them freaked her out at first but then she liked it. I agree with Betsy - if you attempt to snorkel close in, the water is cloudy. So move out away from the people.

Also we had been warned - I think on the DIS - the stingrays do swim real close in when the feeding is going on. They will brush past you and circle your legs and feet. Some kids were REALLY freaked out by that and got right out of the water. So just be aware of that and let your kids know ahead of time.

I thought it was worth the $$ - though I don't think we will do it again unless Ryan asks to. I mean, we will be there. TWICE!! So you never know.

And the whole mud thing....sounds to kinky for me. But I would spend my whole time wondering who had been in there before me and just what they had been doing....

But thats just me....

Best Friend just booked 7/18/09 to Tortola. She wants us to cancel this year and go next year. AS IF. The nerve of some people. Next year I think we might do Disney Adventures. Katie - do you know when they will release 2009 trip info??

My kids will love that...I'LL be freaked out. I'd rather play in mud than have fish touch me.

Sorry, I dont really follow the ABD stuff.
