Regina - you are funny. :lol Greg and I go out to dinner with 2 friends where Greg orders everything as my friend Patti does and I order the same things as her husband Jeff. Everytime we go out it's the same thing. We even look at the opposite spouse and discuss what we are having now, becuase we usually end up ordering the same thing after one of us orders. Now as far as the Greg/Regina / Sheree/Tommy vacation switcheroo, I want to do both, so that won't work. There's no way my husband is getting to take any type of vacation that I don't get to take, whether it's an all-inclusive or a cruise!

Also, let me know more about the San Juan excursion you speak of. I wasn't planning to get of the ship in San Juan because I've been there so many times, but your idea for the drinking/shopping experience intrigues me!

Ok, off to work. Booo! Sheree

[quote tommyjeepster]I named the resort in Arizona Arrielle's Princess Palace.

George you lush..... is that all you want on our cruise, Booze, booze and more booze? You an Tom can hang at the bars and I will take Anne off on my excursion. I have heard what I am doing is the best excursion of all. I have a planned excursion for Puerto Rico.

I am stepping off the boat and the excursion starts right there. I am guzzling all the free frozen pina Colada's they give you at the port on arrival and and getting my "BUZZ ON" then taking a cab to the BIG MALL! The girl at work is going to give me the address and what stores to hit so that no precious port time is wasted. Then on the way back I am stopping at the 2 story Ross in downtown by the port. WOW my day will be filled full of fun fantastic shopping. Then I am hitting the free Pina colad's on the way back to the ship. This may be my best cruise yet. :) I am sure that Anne and Sheree will want to take my excursion.

OH YES!!!!! I FORGOT!

My preference is AN ALL INCLUSIVE!!!!! Sheree I taked it over with Tom and we agreed that if you want to cruise that Gregg and I can go to the all inclusive and you and Tom can cruise with everyone else. How does that sound too you.[/quote]


Good afternoon all,

Well it's Friday and it couldn't have here soon enough. My boss wanted me to work this weekend and I just couldn't do it...I need a break!!

Regina, funny you would mention the name of the AZ all inclusive...Arrielle was actually of a similar opinion when I posted last night. Your post has however got me thinking of a new advertising campaign, what do you think...

booze, booze, booze...it's not just for breakfast anymore!
Whata ya think, gots potential :)

On the San Juan excursion did you mention free pina coladas and does Ross have a bar? Anne would most certainly want to tag along on your excursion (something about shopping and alcohol mixed she finds appealing), we didn't have anything planned for San Juan anyway.

I have some fantastic news....Although we will not be cruising with the Big Cats this year I am getting my a** on a cruise!! Doris tried to keep it a secret but you know she can't hold anything back from me. She has been working behind my back with my boss on this for over a week now and I had no idea. My boss has pulled some strings and we are going to be sailing on the Caribbean Princess on Sept. 23rd. I wish we could have gotton the Liberty. There are no TA rates on your Liberty sailing as of today. I am so excited to be going and I know that Doris could use the vacation as well. Cris and Julie are booked but will make their final decision by July 9th. At least we can give some insight to sailing on Princess now. We are sure going to miss cruising together but I'd rather miss cruising with you all and going on a cruise than miss cruising with you all and staying home!! Cris is out today getting a storage unit and working out in the 96 degree temps today...glad I am here :) Well that is my news and now we can start to plan to.

George...good to see you back making us laugh again (the two vans) I almost wet myself when I read that :lol :lol

See you all later. :wave

Dee - good news for you. I really wish you could go with us, but I am glad you get to cruise this year. You will have to give a full account of Princess so we know what that line is like for someone our age - and if it's fun enough for the Big Cats!

Sad news coming out of our part of the country with the missing pregnant mom being found dead. I have CNN on now trying hear what all happened this afternoon since we were at a graduation party when the news broke. I know that on CNN they were interviewing an attorney who showed up on my doorstep at work one day after we terminated someone (he's one of the lawyers that give the profession a bad name) and for some reason he's being interviewed as a legal expert. I can't quite understand why this seems to be rather common, to see pregnant women murdered, especially by the father of the baby.

So, let's take this San Juan discussion further....I was thinking of having a "ship day" that day, but if we're talking shopping and drinking, well, I just might get off the ship for that! I do like the Coach outlet in San Juan.....

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)

last time we were in San uan they were giving us free samples of frozen rum drinks as we arrived and went through the port area. I was n a diet so Tom drank most of them. He was quite buzzed as we went through town. :)

So my plans is to to that first then get a cab and take it to the bog mall. Shop for awhile and then go get something toeat and more to drnik before going back to the ship. I am not sure if there is a senior frogs or margaritaville there or not but you guys who love to check everything out can look that up for us. So we can leave the guys behind at one of those places and the ladies can go shopping then go back there to drink with them when we are finished.

Regina

O town girls congrats on your cruise.

Good afternoon all,

We just got out of the adult pool at Casa De'Anne (Arrielle is at a friends). Pretty much hung out for the weekend and tested out the new grill island/blender (we need a second blender). We had my sister and her family over last night, nice just to hang out and let the kids have the pool while we watched sipping beverages close by on the patio.

Girls, congrats on the cruise, looking forward to hearing about the Caribbean Princess. Seems like we have considered this ship the last 3 years.

Regina, don't fret, should the diet still be in effect come cruise time, I will take one for the team and consume those unwanted shots for you. As I always say... It's not always about me! Yeah, shopping and drinking, what a combination...Anne's really looking forward to it...does Ross have a bar!

Sheree, I can't imagine the press coverage you all are getting on that terrible story, it's been non stop here. I haven't checked the news today, but anything on the possible high school acomplice they were reporting last night? That would explain why the little boy wasn't saying "daddy rolled mommy in a carpet"! Truly sad, but dead pregnant woman murdered by spouses is becoming very previlent in society over the last few years.

Hi gang - happy Monday. I really wish we'd have another day off this weekend. I could've used it! Does anyone have a long weekend next weekend or the week after? We're off on Wednesday and Thursday, which makes for a weird workweek.

Yes, George, the Jessie Davis story is all over the news. We're maybe 45 minutes away from where everything happened and it's consuming the local news. They did arrest the HS accomplice, but you've probably already heard that now. What terrible news - but I am glad for the family that they found the body sooner rather than later. The number of volunteers searching for the woman was just amazing.

If I get time later I'll do some searches on Ross in San Juan and we'll see what establishments may be close so that we can get you guys liquored up so you don't kill us with your whining while we shop. I've gone from not caring about this stop to looking forward to it so I can shop. Greg thanks you all. I'd also like to visit the Coach outlet if anyone is interested in that. It's been a few years since I've been there but it has always been a decent outlet there.

Ok...off to work. Dee, what are the ports that you'll be visiting?

Sheree

Hi y'all,

A little quiet here today, where is everyone?

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)

Hi guys!

George, I got your voicemail, and don't worry at all about when you called. We're usually up until 10:30 or 11:00 on work nights, so it was totally fine. No news from AirTran for us but I'll keep you posted! And I'll trade your dry 110 for our humid 90 any time you want to trade!

Jim - did Amanda get good rates to go with us? The prices that George posted were high so I am hoping she didn't have to pay that much. I can't wait to see Calum in a tux. He's going to be one adorable little man! And I don't know if you've said, but is Hope a shopper? Will she want to do the special San Juan excursion with us?

Cris and Dee - I finally went to JoAnn's and didn't see any red fabric for my next CrisDee's purchase. I guess I'll keep on looking.

And Regina and Tommy, I'll start my research for shopping. I can't remember a Margaritaville-type place in San Juan. I know there's a Hard Rock close to the port, and I know the Wyndham had a decent casino with a bar, but that's all I can remember near the port. I am positive that there's a great margarita hut near the port in St Martin though - where they aren't stingy on the tequilla and you're really close to the ship in case you want one or four.....

Jim - our shipboard credit goes up by $50 if we reach 8 cabins. Also, I e-mailed Lori and asked about booking on board and transferring reservations to our TA when we get back from the cruise. I'll let you all know what she tells me.

Sheree, like I said, "I would hold Anne totally accountable for her lapse in judgement, I had nothing to do with it". Being that I am to lazy to look, are we in San Juan or St. Marten til 10:00?

Jim, dive looks good, gets us back around noon. I hope we get the ship wreck to dive on, although I've been told it's more a advertising/marketing ploy rather than reality. Needless to say I am loading up on the sudafed prior to this cruise.

Anyway, does Ross or Coach have a bar?
