Hello everyone! Yes, the sight was up when I went on just a bit ago. Just got back from scrapbooking retreat in the WI northwoods. Had at least 8 inches of heavy wet snow and bearly made it up there. But cropped for 3 days straight. Got 35 12X12 pages done and at least 20 8X8s. Got to get those Christmas gifts done before I have another cruise to scrap. Still waiting on my passport but won't worry yet. Next week am going with best friend to see Josh Turner in Milwaukee. The following week is in Chicago with Paul's side of the family for Thanksgiving and reunion. Son PJ and wife HL are coming from Florida and our Matt will be there too, so that will be our family Christmas too. (ONly our Nick will be missing.) Time will be flying by. Tried to book a sailboat excursion in Cozumel but they lost 3 boats in Wilma so there went that idea. If anyone knows of another sailboat rental in Cozumel please post here. Otherwise I guess the guys are going bottom fishing and the girls are going to the spa.

we'll see what the spa specials are that day. I have decided to make travel journals for Marla and Nancy for the cruise and give them as Christmas gifts. Also think we will order shrimp and chocolate covered strawberries and some wine for a bon voyage in our cabin and wave to the condo crazies from our balcony. Have reserved White River Kayaking in Jamaica and Stingray Snorkel boat in Grand Cayman. Anyone else signed up? Have been viewing the menus and there are great things to try especially the cold soups. We like to eat breakfast and lunch in the dining room to. We love the service. Well, getting tired. See you all soon. Sweet dreams.

I took a peak at the spa stuff...I will wait til I am onboard...

All excursions are booked for us...Peat Taylor for Jamaica

Dune Buggy is reserved for Cozumel, and some silly catamaran thing in GC...LOL....

Brian would like to do a bar excursion for one of the days at sea...essentially meaning to get a drink from all the bars onboard...lol.

Have a shopping day today...to heck with the laundry...lol...actually probably won't do much shopping...but we are going out for a ride anyway.

Have a great day...

:grin: Oh ya!! Steve's got those steaks we were talking about on sale- we'll get some bought and put away for that week-

Maybe some finger food while we're waiting for the steaks to cook....?

mmmmI smell them now!

I think the temperature is warm as I've had the windows open this afternoon! It got quite hot in here and I had to cool things off!

No upgrades noted on our cabins yet! :undecided: I will be happy where ever we end up!

I just can't wait!

:grin: Good afternoon!

Just wanted to say that we have the best TA there is!! Just give me a holler if you want call information!

Stephanie :grin:

[bigred]

well, I originally thought our new TA was really on the ball cause she got us a great deal on our cabin. but now I'm not so sure. We are waitlisted for first seating assigned and I called her to see what she could do. She said she could pull some strings and get us confirmed but could NOT get Harvey and Nancy seated with us. Excuse me but why would we want to eat alone if we are traveling together? So I guess we'll all take anytime dining and 4 of us will reserve the same table same time each night. And hopefully, if Marla and Al want to join us for a night or 2 we can move to a bigger table. Next she has us listed as having transfers purchased which we did not do and don't need. She said she would remove them but they are still there. Then I asked why our beds say twin configuration, she said they all do until you tell your steward. Well, Harvey and Nancy's summary lists theirs as queen bed. So I guess I will have to call her and give her a hard time to get this all done. I was so used to my old TA

knowing just what we wanted and getting it done but she moved to groups and we didn't go that route. Oh, well, live and learn. Goodnight moon!
