Hi All,
We had a real nice day at Cris-Dees today....Hope wants the store!!! LOL.Bubba showerd up with some of the band and we had a nice day together..they had customers when we first got there. so we kinda hung out and Hope found all kind of stuff she liked and got orderd, Sara has a bag comming and Hope and Sara didn`t want to through away sara`s diaper bag the girls made her along time ago it was still good shape
with all the mileage on it .The girls sugested it but it won`t happen it has to many good memorys to just discard it :)
Bubbas girl friend Amanda got a cruise bag she didn`t know she was getting. I think all the ladys bags will reflect there taste in bags.
It was way cool seeing the girls but was disapointed we didn`t get to see Julie. Met Dees sister..could tell right off the bat she was Dees sister... looks alot like her.anyway Thanks O girsl for a nice time with you. I enjoyed it and so did everyone else.
on another note the place Bubba played at last night asked if they would come back and paly again :) they have another gig in Gainsville comming up soon so he will be practiceing alot before than..he had a blast last night and is ready to play again.
that is it here for now
I hope all is well with everyone.

Hi guys - not a lot of action on the boards today!

Jim - it's great that Bubba has another gig lined up. I am personally thinking that I am going to archive all my cruise photos with Bubba in them to submit someday as photos for "before they were stars...." I just think that it's wonderful that he is getting this opportunity and it sounds like he is making the most of it.

I did a little cruise shopping today. I bought new sunglasses (which I didn't need but they were adorable) and also ordered a couple of rolling duffles for me and Greg. When I was out earlier, I couldn't wait to get home to get out on the aft deck. I enjoyed shopping, of course, but I could not wait to get home and get in the sun. I spent my time out there on the cell phone talking to my mom and then my brother in NJ. Greg's at the station. We've got a pretty boring week planned, except for a party at Dave and Busters Tuesday night for a couple of his coworkers. I am probably going to spend next weekend getting stuff together for a garage sale, because we really need to have one and get rid of some of this junk! It's amazing how much you can accumulate!

Well - I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

Sheree

Hey Gang:

Had a great time with Jim and the family. Jim...I owe you BIG TIME!!! I will call you. Don't tell Sara but we are going to remake her original bag for her. She can save the old one but I know she will love the new one just as much! Saturday was just another confirmation that we need to see each other more often!

I think Alaska is great for 09! I am going to start doing some research for us.

My sister and neice are rushing me to go to the pool. so I will check back later. :wave

Good afternoon all,

Anne's working late today and Arrielle is at a friends house...what will I ever do with the down time? We are actually having quite the storm right now, long over-due! I hope the pool doesn't over-fill!

Girls / Jim, sounds like you all had a great time this past weekend; wish we could have been there. Where are the pics? Girls, I know I wrote this previously, given any thought to coming down to Miami the Friday everyone gets in? Try to work it in.

Jim, I'm going to bring the fins, mask, snorkels...that's all I can fit. I found a nice shoulder bag to fit these items yesterday. Do you have pics of Bubba's band playing? By the way, Arrielle wants to know the name of the band and she wants an autographed 8x10 of Bubba playing :)

On the Alaska front, I think I'm more enthusiastic about it than Anne...she is enamored with the caribbean, not the cold weather. Needless to say I'm convinced she would have a great time and she is open to doing whatever the group wants to do. Myself, I've always wanted to try this cruise. On the right side of this web page, Cruise Addicts has advertising for cruise west; obviously somewhat smaller boat and rustic, but they can get much closer to everything than a big cruise ship can. I'm considering asking for the free brouchure and video they are advertising. It would be nice to get a low deposit for this cruise, just to have it on the books.With that stated, what about 2008? With Alaska on the horizon, looking for a reasonably priced cruise for 2008 might be a good idea. We would be open to cruising on many of the ships we sailed previously if we could get a good deal.Like many of you, I'm going to see whats out there for pricing for the caribbean next year...any other considerations?

Has anyone purchased travel insurance? We were pricing over the weekend and actually found some pretty good deals. We then went on to the National hurricaine center web site to kind of look at predictions...has it been quiet or what? Don't want to jinx ourselves, but it's looking like a non eventful storm season and we might disregard the insurance this year.

For those ladies looking for swimwear, Anne bought 4 complete suits and scrunchies for $98.00 from venusswimwear.com. Based on our yearly venturing to malls in quest of the perfect swimsuit, I'll be amazed if she likes one!

Sheree, we've given up on yard sales. Every year we box everything up and bring it to a charity...so much easier!

Dan, enjoy your two days off.

ok George Anne can wear those suits as she is the skinniest of us all except for the under 25 girls. We full figured women need a real suit not those skimpy things on that web site.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. looks like most did from the posts.

Hi guys - Jim - I'll tell Greg to get right on that pulley system for drinks. So if we have a bucket, and rope, and someone can distract the cabins in between us, maybe we can figure it out. Or...if we can't, you'll have to walk out into the hall and walk down, what, 4 doors or something????

On the yard sale thing, we do have a few things that are a step above dropping at the curb - like a couple of TV's, a treadmill, and a computer - but we normally put things at the curb too and then check to see how long it takes for someone to make it their treasure. In our town, it's amazing how quickly any little piece of junk gets scarfed up!

And on the 08/09 cruise issue....I think we do need to figure out 08 before getting 09 selected. I went on-line on my lunch hour (normally 20 minutes) yesterday and compared a few cruises. There are so many options to chose from. Different lengths, some with land cruises, and different cruise lines. What I'd hate to do (I was thinking about this last night) is get so excited about Alaska in 09 that I can't get excited about the Carribean (most likely) in 08. I remember that happening once before where I wasn't as excited about the current cruise as the one that was over a year off, and that was kind of a bummer! So let's get back to that 08 cruise - but I am thrilled to know that Alaska is also in our future!

And Regina, I am with you on the Venus swimwear. Good for Anne - but I can only order scrunchies from there!

Good evening everyone,

Sheree, for once we are in agreement (yes, mark your calendar), we should consider 2008 first and then work on 2009.

And Regina/Sheree, after all the flack I have taken over the years, one would think that I could get kudos for recommending a shopping site, when taking into account my vast postings on this topic previously over the years. I didn't write anything about verifying the content of the web site. I simply provided a public service and passed along a good deal Anne got...talk about ungreatful ;) For now on it's back to electronics,tools, beer and the weather.

Regina, I think we are directly over Jim in 8710.

okay that was Tom asking about the rooms, not me.

We are thinking about skipping cruising in 2008 and saving for the Alaska cruise. Next year will be our time share vacation. Or that was the discussion this week any way. I am sure Tom will try to figure out how to get around it. I am not going to the Carribean again next year. :) Yall have fun with out me.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the Phoenix monsoon season storms, here is a link to some good photos of storms this past week. While many of these storms are quite violent, they produce some of the most amazing aerial lightning shows one will ever encounter...

And Regina, we'll work on you too, not just Tommy. There's no such thing as a break from cruising! Though I'd really like to be budget-conscious!

Wow...the posting has picked up into high gear :lol

I would love to consider Alaska for 09. I just finished my classes for Princess and read alot about the Cruise and Land combination and it sure looks amazing. The good news is that with Princess you can have low deposits when you open a group. We have this guy in our office that books a ton of Alaska and knows everything. I have been consulting with him. The other good news is that for anyone who needs triples and quads you don't have to make full deposit with Princess.

Regarding 08...I have been looking at some Southern Caribbean, St. Kitts, Aruba, St. Lucia, etc. Places we have not been.

Hope everyone is doing well...Sheree did you pick the color for the cruise yet?

Cris is sick, Doris is sick and our friend Eve is sick.....I am feeling trapped by germs :help

Have a great day all :wave
