traveling with multiples!!

[kritter]

Sounds awesome! Glad you found a beach you liked in St Maarten. How did you get there/where was it? I love the picture of you and the girls, that's a keeper!

We took a taxi right when we got off the ship they were there...Oh you know..Sorry!! It was called Little Divvi Bay Beach recommend from DanielleVT on the boards here...She was soo right sooo nice and private and fun for the kids...It was the most perfect sand and the water was just right for the kids..

It was soo perfect. I totally rec. it.. It was the best.....IT was a resort with a beach.. We were able to rent two chairs and an umbrella too for fifteen dollars. It was about a ten to fifteen minute ride from the ship!!!!!!!

Great report Kristin and thanks for all of the pictures. Your girls are gorgeous and so are you and DH. I'm glad the trip turned out good. Did your girls both enjoy the ship enough to go on another cruise? Did they ever end up going to the kids club?

Thanks for the compliments...Sorry for the red eye DH says I need to edit my pictures before I post them....

They only went to the club once... Said there were too many kids....
Truthfully, they enjoyed swimming, playing with their new DIS friends soo much they did not ever ask to go to the club.. THat was fine with us.. We loved the family time.. They are only talking about the next cruise. We are for sure going in 2008 and can not wait... Next year we will do our usual week in WDW or more... If I could get myself to cruise in a lower cat. cabin I could go more often..LOL!!! I should have started lower and worked my way up...LOL!!!!! DH wants to go to ST. Thomas for a week.. this summer...Plus he added onto our vacation club while onboard..
This cruise was awesome and we all can not stop talking about it...I am ready to count the days down again......

Boy, I sure know what you mean about the cabin catagory. Once we cruised with a balcony we would never go back. That will sure make the Disney cruise we will hopefully take in the future an expensive one!

Oh yes Disney does cost.. But is soo worth it...When do you think you will do DCL????

Right now it is still a distant dream. I want to be able to take my whole family (our 4 kids, their spouses and all of the grandkids). Right now my 2 daughter-in-laws are in nursing school and my oldest daughter is getting married in May in Mexico (Playa del Carmen area) and the whole family minus the grandkids will be going. So it looks like it will be about 4-5 years before everybody can afford the time and the money to go. This way the grandkids will all be old enough to enjoy the trip. In the meantime I will keep going to WDW and dreaming!

I understand the crying leaving CC. I always start getting sad toward the end of the cruise. Last month my DD was crying as we were leaving Epcot and headed for the airport. I was kind of surprised to see it, I guess we don't usually go from a park directly home.

I am having serious Disney withdrawal. Our trip was fun and relaxing, but went by so fast. I was thinking of taking advantage of the deals going on in January but we need to save for our August trip. We will be doing 4 nights in WDW and a 4 night Wonder cruise with 30 people! Then a few weeks later in October a bunch of us from the Breast Cancer Survivor's group are planning to do the Race for the Cure in Animal Kingdom. A few in my family want to go too - some who have never been - which should be fun. Will have to start saving for two trips in two months, but at least it's something to look forward to.

As far as rooms on the cruise go, we've downgraded from a verandah room without a problem. We look at it as: if it means we can go more often, then no big deal. In February we had an inside room but our friends had a verandah room across the hall. That was nice. For August, four families in our group, including us, managed to snag four Secret Porthole Rooms. That's a good deal, we've never had a porthole before (and nice we don't have to pay for it). Our friends who had the verandah room are sweating it a little, they're downgrading a bit but we told them don't worry, you won't mind being in steerage with the rest of us.

I can't remember if I posted a trip picture here. I'll scroll back and see.

Absolutely loved your pictures, Kristen.

Hey, maybe it's time we updated pictures of all the kids, it's been a while, hasn't it?

This was on the day of their 9th birthday, you can see they have their bday buttons on.

 

[kritter]

Glad you enjoyed the pictures ok...I will have to photograph the ring..LOL!!!!!!

I was thinking the kids will be older when we cruise again and maybe we could do with out the verhandah and then we could go more....
We had friends who were in a Cat 5. and they loved it.....

Loved the picture of yor kids Pea-n-me... they look like they are getting soo very big...

I love looking at others pictures...My Dh was laughing at how many I was posting last night...!!!!!
