Dang it Michelle, I guess Ally and I will have to be "square".

I will be watching those Longhorns in the Rose Bowl. If they whup up on Michigan, then the arguments about whether Texas or California belongs in the Rose Bowl will be a moot point after what Texas Tech did to Cal.

Happy New Year to all the Island Hoppers.

Happy New Years Everyone!!

No big plans for us this year. Were staying home with Taylor. Some friends are coming over for dinner - I am ordering pizza and salad - like I said no big plans.

Tomorrow, is a shopping day with the girls - looking forward to the sales. Dave will be watching football all day.

I hope to see everyone in 2005. Dave and I are still planning on cruising in September or October. Tamra and Brad?? Anyone else???

Happy New Year Island Hoppers.....

Thanks for all the kind words about my new job adventure!! I am looking forward to it. I start Monday!!

Michelle...How was the party? Did you have fun.

We stayed at home and invited several couples from our neighborhood over. Everyone left around 10:30pm. We all have children 4 and younger and they were really getting crabby. We couldn't get them to settle down enough to sleep. It was fun though. We played Scene It and Cranium.

Alfio and I are planning on a cruise in the fall. We are doing Disney with the kids in June. We have to wait and see what the IRS does to us. Hopefully, I will have all of that done soon!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!! We are going to watch the Rose Bowl and maybe even secretly cheer on Michigan....Yeah right!!! hehehehe..........

Happy New Year...
Love,
Jodi and Alfio.....

To all the Michigan fans, and closet Michigan fans, who are Island Hoppers -

I was going to start with the ribbing and maybe throw in some dogs, but I'll just make this one post concerning the Rose Bowl since I can't rag on Michigan that much after that game. Well, the Longhorns didn't whup up on them but I'm glad they won. I must give Michigan their dues, not that it lessens the pain of losing, but what a heck of a game.

Happy New Years guys! We were out of town visiting friends on the Ms. coast . Was great fun. They have a house across the street from the beach so we bon fired for a while and had chili and crawfish chowder plus cocktails til the ball dropped- played pool and went to casino while there too- great time!!!!
Hope to cruise in fall with those going caribbean style- got to get Brad to commit- may take a couple more months to get that done as we are watching his job to make sure its safe before we start spending vacation money......................more later on that.......................
chat soon -
Brad and Tamra

Todd and I wish that all you dreams come true in 2005 - have a great year. Cheers to happiness, good health and enjoying our families.

All's well downunder - hot and steamy at the moment.

Tamra - thanks for the photo card, it's great to see your family.

All of you that did Lawrence's tour in Antigua - did you enjoy it. Mum and Dad have booked the same cruise leaving 22nd May and I said that I'd ask you all about what you thought of this day out. Look forward to hearing your comments.

Kerri, tell your parents that the Lawrence of Antigua Tour was well worth the money. You do get to see alot of the history of the island. I would have preferred more time at the beach but your parents probably wouldn't. Anyway, great tour. Lawrence was extremely knowledgable, kind and friendly!!! Hope they have a wonderful cruise!!!!!!!!!! To everyone else, I got an email from Frank @ St. Lucia and he said to tell all the Island Hoppers from 9/12 "HAPPY NEW YEAR"!!!!!!!!!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing weekend.............check back with you guys later. Maybe we will make it to the 1000 post soon.

Kerri, The Lawrence of Antigua Tour was a good tour - we were just ready for the beach at the end. If they like the beach, they should go to Trunk bay in St. Johns (St.Thomas). It was beautiful!!! Its worth the trip to get there - I think Rich, Ally, Tamra and Brad would agree. (Didn't it cost $4.00, $4.00, $4.00.. haha - what a great day!!)

Tamra and Brad - I hope you guys are able to cruise with us!!! We are still planning on Mariner of the Sea - Western Caribbean. We just received the Royal Caribbean book with a coupon for $125.00 off the Mariner of the Seas. Is anyone else planning on cruising again??

Have a great weekend!!!
Cheryl and Dave

Kerri, of course Ally and I didn't go on Lawrence of Antigua since we were on Eli's Eco Tour with ya'll.

I definately agree with Cheryl that Trunk Bay was beautiful and the trip was part of the fun. What a journey. $4.00 for a taxi to the pier. $4.00 for the ferry. $4.00 for the donkey ride to the next taxi. $4.00 for the last taxi ride.....and our cabbie kept stopping and asking anyone walking if they needed a cab since we had six inches of space to spare he could've fit two more people in there.

Ally and I are still unsure of our plans for a vacation this year. I guess we are waiting to see what college David is accepted to and what the cost will be before we make any decisions.

Cheryl - I still haven't heard from Dave concerning the Rose Bowl???????

Thanks guys. Thought you were all happy, but it was good to confirm it with you.

Not sure on hols for us this year - maybe just within Oz. We'll see because I'm such a sucker for travel and if I see a special, you just can't stop me!!! I'll think of the piggy bank though - major goal this year to pay off the home loan!!!! (Maybe next year for the loan if we travel though). In the back of my mind I'm sure it'll be next year - what do you think. Life's too short isn't it!!! Yeah I will keep convincing myself.

We enjoyed the laurence tour as well and agree that we were also really ready to get to the beach. Life is too short not to enjoy a trip now and then.
Cheryl- hope we get the rci travel book soon too. We still want to go in the fall - are trudgeing through condo restoration and refurnishing- should be done sometime in march and will go on market then. The unknown total cost factor is what is keeping us from booking the cruise asap. Am keeping the fingers crossed about being able to book real soon!!!!!!! Know the Mariner will be a blast-

Rich,

I don't think your going to hear from Dave regarding the Rose Bowl. I was smart and went shopping with the girls during the game - hours later he was still very upset...

Cheryl, I was very much surprised that Ally sat through the second half and watched with me. We were bonding.

Good evening Island Hoppers! Hope everyone is doing great. Think of ya'll often as I have tons of pictures of all of us throught the house! I am thinking about booking RCCL's Serenade of the Sea's (8/28/05) for our Alaskan cruise and was wondering if anyone was familiar with this ship? It's either between the Serenade or the Radiance of the Sea's (8/27). Any suggestions?

Michelle- you and Stan will have a wonderful time! We have not been able to book a cruise yet. Still crossing fingers that we will be cruising this fall- If we win the lottery, I will book the Island Princess so we can join you - then will book a western caribbean bound ship for sept ? or ? Think I could cruise several times a year if the bank account would allow it!!!!!
It was hard to find our post this time. Had to do a search to find it. Hope we don't loose our thread !!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well. Have a good day!!!!!
Check back later-
