That was the fun part, Robert didn't know we were going. We just showed up at their room and supprised them. It was almost impossible to keep it a secret for 5 months but we managed to do it. I bet that was funny - did you happen to get a pic of his face when he opened the door? There is no way I would have been able to keep mum about it for that long. I am leaving next week, on Friday to head to Galveston and we will be sailing on the COnquest for the first time - what was your impression of the ship?

It's Robert's son-in-law. We haven't heard from him in over a year, so it was nice to see him posting. Hope you come back again JR.

Hey JR, it was great to see you back online. Did you go on the same cruise that Robert and Annie went on?

We had this happen a few years ago - we normally try to snorkel in every port, but this cruise, we left it for the last port and it was raining so hard, the excursion got cancelled, so we hauled our snorkel gear all the way there for nothing.

Linda, I am holding off on the packing for Vegas for a bit. I am packing for my vacation next week now. I am already thinking about what I am going to take though.....

Ed, glad to have you pack on the forum. I look forward to reading your review and hope you post some pics too. Now you have to get your "land legs"....

Hmmm, thinking I may have a new business venture - stocking up on the funnel glass while onboard and selling them on eBay. Probably not worth the bother - I can't believe someone paid that for it.

Rachel, glad to have you aboard the greatest forum afloat. I feel so at home here, and I am sure that in no time, you will be saying the same.

Corinny, may all your days at sea be smooth and filled with sun and fun and may all your days in port be adventurous. Anchors aweigh……

We also have free laundry priviledges so I would have the cruiseline do the laundry. My quandry would be if that would mean I would have to take 2 suitacses of shoes instead of one...

Great Idea Chuck - in fact I went to the website yesterday to see if you had the towels for sale because I was going to buy one for my cruise that is in 2 weeks.

I was hoping there would be a reply to your post Arvids, as we will be there in a few weeks and Grand Cayman is one of my favorite places to snorkel....

Frank, did you say you were fresh????

We generally keep to ourselves. We have had some good tablemates and some who caused us to eat more in the Lido buffet for dinner!!! 8 yrs. ago, we were seated with an older couple from Atlanta who were just so much fun, and we still exchange emails and Christmas cards with them. Our cruise in 2 weeks is the first time we have cruised with friends and I am really looking forward to that.

I guess I can save time and just say "ditto on Keith's answer"....

So Sharon, can I safely assume that you guys are bikers? We have never been to Daytona Bike Week, but have been to Sturgis a few times. It is only about 350 miles to there for us, so much more doable...

So Joey, are you in "cruise mode" now? I am close behind you and Lisa - almost down to counting hours....
