I am all better now. . .I got the arrangements made to sail on the Grand Princess out of Galveston coming next year. We are going to go with Valeri's sister and husband. We look forward to always having something scheduled. . . Looking forward to some new ports. Cave Tubing in Beleze is suppose to be spectacular. . .

I hear you Byron. I've gotten to the point where if I don't have two cruises booked out front I get very, very nervous.

Thinking about doing the tubing thing in Belize on our Glory cruise in March. Although the Youth Minister of our church almost drowned doing it this summer. She did lose her glasses in the river during the trip. Somehow went upside down in the tube. That's got Roe a little scared, but I'm hoping that will pass before our cruise.

Anyway congrats on your new booking. Gonna have to sail from Galveston one of these days. The Glory is going out of Port Canaveral which will be a new port for us.

Just went out of Brooklyn last month, so we added that one to our list.

Still like Lauderdale the best.

Congratulations on the new booking, Byron! It sounds like it'll be a great cruise!

Congratulations on the booking, Byron. We went cave tubing in Belize the beginning of April a couple of years ago, and we found that it wasn't the best excursion we've done. The dry season down there is the winter, and the rivers do get pretty low. There were parts of the river where you had to get out of your tube and walk because the water was just too shallow. If you're going in January, that should be a great time to do it. Just be aware that there is a mile walk to get from the base camp to the river. Enoy. :grin:

Nothing like a new booking to make you feel so much better! Congrats.

Congratulations on the booking Byron

Thank you all. .

Rogue, I am aware of the long drive and the mile walk to the place they do the excursion. I have talked to people who have done it and liked it very much. We are going the end of Feb, so I hope the water is good for us. Either way, I will be sure to let you know.

Thanks for the advice. . .

I think it would be so nice to have a place on this site that is dedicated to excoursions, ports and even categorys like snorkeling, scuba, and the sort?. . . Anyone else agree with that?

Congrats, isnt planning it exciting?! I like waiting for it the most though, especially the last few weeks before the cruise. O so excited, nothing can go wrong! Hope you have loads of fun.
