Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Joelidol,

I wish I was going again before this cruise, but you must of read the date wrong. I just got back from an 8/5 trip on the Magic.
If you go back to page 117 to post 1752 you will find my trip report. It takes 3 or 4 posts on that page, also on page 120 I have a few pictures posted and a few with Captain Jack Sparrow somewhere between those pictures and this page.
We got nothing from the depression!!! I was hoping for some rain, but we got 0.
Hope you like the report.

evening everyone....well I have some bad news....

Shell this is for you....Wally said he would sing...but he wants to sing with the "other guys" and an oldie....he tried singing you lost that lovin feeling and you know what? After his version I did.. ....so prepare yourselves....I'm giving you fair warning in advance...... (thats the bad news)

So other than that nothing is going on. These dogs are driving me crazy and now I belive that Louie DD dog has an ear infection...so guess where I will be friday on my day off. Vets office.

Well have a great evening everyone....

Good Evening Nana Heads!!!

Shell -- Can Sunny handle 8 of us crazy DISers in one day!!! He may give up his business after we are dropped off at the ship. What fun that will be. You will definitely get your money's worth from Sunny.

DH Dave has season football tickets to Michigan State. Go Green! Go White!
We also like our Mountaineers (WVU) -- sorry Jeff! With our kids/grandkids living in Morgantown, we take advantage of getting to the stadium for football or seeing a basketball game or two each season.

Question for you late fall/winter repeat cruisers -- what time does it get dark in the islands in late November? DH Dave was wondering that the other day. I told him it doesn't matter. We're on DCL cruise time. I reminded him there are no clocks to be found in the common areas of the ship.

Have a great evening. Thankfully, the weekend is almost here.

Hey Everyone! Checking in late today...the kids went back to school

I am now officially a mom of a middle schooler - aagghh! When the heck did that happen.

Anyway it's been a crazy day around here and I'm am going to bed very shortly...well after DH gets home and we watch Rockstar Supernova which we recorded on tivo (yes we are hooked on it - we love music in the house).

Shell - thank you kindly - how about this one - Walk Like an Egyptian......

I'll check in tomorrow - hopefully it won't be AS crazy

Kelly, you think you are freaking out mine graduates from middle school this year. Next week we start looking at HIGH SCHOOLS when did this happen to me, isn't it the 80's and I am dressing ;like Madonna. How oh how did I grow up and not realize it.

What does "Sonny" do?

 

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning, Everyone! I can see I spend FAR FAR too much time in here.
Hope y'all have a terrific day.

 

[JanDave]

Good Morning Nana Heads.

I know what you young moms mean about your kids already in middle school or finishing middle school. I freaked, big time, when my oldest graduated from high school. Where did the time go? He was just in kindergarten, right? Anyway, my oldest has been out of high school for 17 years!!!! He received his masters from Rutgers 11 years ago! I know, you're thinking Jan must be REALLY old! Young at heart, though!

Have a great day!

Jan

Jan: I'm right there beside you! Your son must be 34, right?
You young ones with younger children, enjoy it. Before you know it you'll be wishing for these moments back, yes, even the bad ones. Behind every bad one there are several happy ones.
Remember: Grandchildren are God's gifts to parents because they didn't kill their children!

Good Morning Everyone,
Well today is suppose to be in the 80's here which is a big change from the weather we have been having the last couple of days. Well today I am going to look for Jeans because all my Jeans are too big!! It's a good thing !! Well just wanted to check in and say Hi ! Have a great day!!

What does "Sonny" do?

Linda: According to what Woogal found out, they pick you up at the ship and take you downtown for shopping. They then take you on a sightseeing tour of the island, then to one of the beaches for a little bit of beach time (only an hour or so), and then you return to the ship. I think it is costing us $25 per person to do this tour. By far, the cheapest excursion on St. Thomas.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning everyone,
I am right there with you moms and grandmoms!!! I cant believe I have a grandchild who is a sophomore in high school this year !!! YIKES!!!

we are all in the same board here, good thing we're not as old as ourkids and grandkids think. Mine always asked what it was like to ride in a covered wagon?? Grandkids ask about if it was scary walking 10 miles to school each day while avoiding all the dinosaurs??

Hope everyone is having a great week,

kathy

 

[JanDave]

Pat and Kathy: Aren't grandkids the best!!!??? Just love them so much.

Linda: Sunny's tour is $30 per person this year, plus optional tip. His website is sunnylistontours.com He has two pick up times at the ship -- 9am and 10am.; head to downtown for shopping; 12 noon pick up for a 1.5 tour of island with a stop at Mountain Top; approx. 1-2 hours at a beach -- last year we had our choice of Coki or Sapphire. We picked Sapphire as it was less croweded. Lots of music and laughs on his tour.

Gotta get back to work!

Good afternoon everyone!

Kids got off to school today without a hitch...they both seemed excited to go

I went to my Jazzercise class and will head out shopping shortly...by myself...totally and completely unencumbered!!! Honestly though I do try to appreciate the time with my kids...I know it goes by too fast. But I do enjoy some "Me time" too!

Disneediva - I don't even want to think about High School yet

Sonny's tour sounds really good. Ahem...which Island is that on??? I just might have to sneak on that one

Lynn - we are in NJ. I am LOVING this weather right now!!!

I hope everyone has a great day!

Hello Banana Heads

First things first ... HUGE sale at www.swimsuitsforall.com , some stuff as low as $1.98 (I saw a pair of crops for that price!).

Linda ... this weekend is going to be sunny every day and highs of 75-80! Sorry for the weather last weekend ... it sucked! I was miserable. And Bob? Linda came to Ohio cause she knows where the classy people are that speak without an accent!

Denise: WOOHOO!!! Nice job talking Wally into belting one out! Can't wait to hear all our boys singing all us gals love songs on the ship (gosh, maybe we should ask the boys at some point about all this )

Jan: Sunny has 8 of us now? Um, I think that it may be 13 or 15 from what I'm hearing . Think we'd better warn HIM?

Kelly ... Walk Like an Egyptian was just plain mean . Here ... try this on for size: Everybody have fun tonight, everybody Wang Chung tonight.

Wendy, are you wearing your Madonna outfit for formal night or semi-formal?

Linda, I e-mailed you a bunch of stuff about Sunny. Does anyone else want it? It's the e-mails I've sent back and forth with him. FYI, he has limited space (I think he said 30-35 people total), so if you want in with him, you'd need to reserve soon.

Kathy? Banana count, please!

SEE YA!

Good day to all

Raining cats and dogs here in PA this morning.

Fourfoxesinpa: we are from Chester County-about 8-10 miles from the Lancaster county boarder-near Gap, PA Is that close to you??

Gonna try and stay warm-and stay on my diet!

Okie

OHMIGOSH! We are neighbors. My kids go to Octorara. I tried to send you a PM but I guess you don't have that set up. If you can, PM me and I can give you more details!

 

[fourfoxesinpa]

Cheri!

We sold our tickets on E-bay for the Ga. Tech vs. Notre Dame game. Let's just say that one sale almost paid for my entire season ticket package! But, this weekend we will be in the stands. Three more home games in the next 3 weeks! I LOVE college football! (Hey Mutt, we need a football banana)

Have a great hump-day everyone!

DH is a "Domer" so I can't help myself in saying "GO IRISH!" Can't wait to watch the ND-Penn State game on Saturday! LOVE the College Football!

Kelly ... Walk Like an Egyptian was just plain mean . Here ... try this on for size: Everybody have fun tonight, everybody Wang Chung tonight.

That's okay...I will mess both of you up.....

Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves!

Shell - I'd like to see the Sunny stuff as well. Is it an appropriate tour for those of us with kids? We've been to St. John before - we LOVE it there - but DD nearly 3 can't go on the DCL excursions so we are going to skip that this time and thought this tour of STT might be fun. I checked out Sunny's website and it looks like a perfect mix of shopping/wandering the town, sightseeing and beach time. But I am curious as to if it is ok for kids. (ours love shopping, riding on buses and the beach, so I thought this'd be fun).
Thanks!
jeff
