I used to say that I wouldn't do anything in St Thomas but shop - so we haven't done much there other than shopping in our 6 or7 previous trips there. Now I like St Marten for shopping sooooo much more, so that frees up the day in St Thomas.

Tommy - did you see the Browns schedule that was released yesterday? The Browns play the Steelers (boooo hisssss) on Sunday night while we cruise. Greg and I might have to skip dinner that night and find the game on somewhere. Why do I think that our first day on the ship is going to be a "drinking day" for us????

Good Morning Cats,
You have been busy writing since I last posted. It took me a while to read all the messages. We had relatives visit from NC this past weekend. Took our GD,GS, and their cousin to Sea World. They had a wonderful time, but it was very HOT on Saturday.

The doctor approved Mother to travel yesterday. Now Greg is planning a visit to see his Dad in Vegas for his vacation in July. Greg, Mother and I will stay in a suite at a resort off the strip near them in Summerville.

Mother is not crazy about beach days, but she can shop with the best of you ladies. We will push her in the wheelchair just like last year.

George,
We had great fun with some Cats at the Costa Maya Beach Break. On the way back, I bought 3 Mexican vases for cheap! I have them displayed over the cabinets along with the other pottery pieces I pick up on the islands.

Greg really would like to go to Orient Beach for a couple of hours. My sister and her husband are planning on going with us to help take care of Mother. They had their honeymoon in St. Maarten last year. The five of us haven't discussed details at the ports of call yet. I haven't added their names to Mom's room yet.

Sheree, Regina, and Anne,
Are you buying jewelry this time? Greg usually appropriates money for a piece of jewelry of my choice. As you know, Mother's favorite activity is shopping in the jewelry shops.

You are so right. I will tell Greg that he must increase my allowance. After all, I do wash his underwear. LoL
He did reimburse the money I spent on the Grandchildren for souveniers at SW.

Have a blessed day.

Have you all seen the Genesis themes are out....

Way to botch my name Sheiri :D That should bring back memories from the 11 day Paradise group thread. Do you remember the lady who as she would state "rambled" alot that I made the mistake of spelling her name wrong? She was so offended that I didn't take the time to proof read my post, so as to not make such mistakes...what a character she was.


Same with us, we have been to St. Thomas many times and have usually just gone shopping and checked out the sites. Something different would be fun. Tommy / Regina...you two are the experts help us plan the day. Should we consider checking out the boards for a reputable tour guide, rather than run the risk of getting our organs harvested :D Sorry Regina, I couldn't resist.


Can you believe they got 3 Monday Night Football games?


Tommy, bring the TIVO. To be honest, we have on many occassions discussed not going to the dining room on the first night simply because we are usually to stuffed from the lunch and lit up from the drink of the day. Does anyone recall the sports bar on the Mariner...has to be better than the one in the cellar on the LOS.


Barb, wish we could swing it, we would have liked to drive up to meet with you all.


While Anne has no shortage of jewelry, she has no idea (nor I) as to determining the quality of items, and if she is getting a good deal or if she is getting taken to the cleaners. Certainly she would love help if any of you are offering your services? Anne's sister is a General manager for Crescent Jewelers and she usually gets her jewelry for amazing prices through her. With that stated, items found in the caribbean are in limited supply here and I know she would like the opportunity to flash something that's not available here.


Costa Maya was great, but I wish we would have spent more time at that big pool by the port. If we don't do Alaska next year, maybe everyone would consider the Western itinerary instead?

Oooohhh - I am so peeved right now. I hate Time Warner. I was just in the middle of a fun, witty post (as always) and lost my connection. Good thing my mommy wasn't here to hear my potty mouth!

First of all, YEAH BARB's MOM!!! I was so happy to read this earlier. I hope you got my e-mail, Barb.

And George, if you need help shopping, all you have to do is ask! I can help my long lost sister Anne, no need to worry. What I love in St Marten is the blue diamonds in white gold. Two or three years ago I bought a wonderful white and blue diamond ring. Last year I bought a pendant. This year, I think I need earrings! What does Anne like? We can shop for diamonds, or tanzanite, or rubies, or sapphires (pink or blue) or, OMG, emeralds!!! Just hand over the credit card, and I'll help a sista out!

Want to take me up on that?

So, today I finally grew some, um, guts, and sent an e-mail to my VP to ask about the status of the job. After 10 weeks of doing the job, and visits by various state and federal agencies, managing annual increases for 1400 employees, terminations and a suicidal employee, I think I've shown that I can handle anything. Of course, my um, guts, aren't of the large variety because I sent it at 5:15 PM, thinking that she won't respond until sometime tomorrow. I'll let you all know what I hear.

I need a cruise so much. But I'll settle for Las Vegas. Requesting vacation will be my next e-mail!

George,
We love Mexico and would be interested in going next year. Mother and I will help Anne find some great jewelry at a bargain. What is she interested in purchasing? I always buy vanilla extract in Mexico. It is sooo yummy.

Sheree,
What are you jewelry items are you searching for on this cruise? Thanks for the nice Email.

Has anyone heard from Randy and Marge?

Dan,
Glad Zoey is doing well. Enjoy every moment with her. They grow up quickly.

Have a blessed day.

Barb - I'll look at any jewelry, any time....but I think I want to find blue diamond earrings.

We haven't heard anything from Randy and Marg in a while, but I believe they admitted to lurking once in a while in an earlier post. I'll send Randy an e-mail and ask him to check in with us.

I'd be open to the Western Carribean next year too - or I'd really love the Southern route.

Oh - and on the topic of my interview - I did get a message back that my VP wants to meet with me next Friday. So, in one more week I should be getting some news, whether it is good or bad! At least at this point, at least it is news.

Hey y'all,


I'm pretty sure she is looking at earrings, maybe a necklace (Tanzanite / Blue Diamonds?) ? If I had to guess.


If I recall, Randy and Marge were exteneded an invitation for this cruise...I'm not certain if they ever responded.


Sheree, I thought the VP was here in AZ?
