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.
