Glad to hear Portofino's got squared away. It is easy to forget that the beauty of a cruise is that you can be as busy or as laid back as you want to be, you can choose to be involved in the group or take some time for yourself and that is pretty cool:thumb

Hi, I'm back!
Kathy- I think everyone should get the flu shot...I just told Scott to take the 8 month old and have her first half...if you are under 8 yrs old you have to take it in 2 shots spaced 1 mo apart...the way they make the shots now, it is very rare to get sick...if you do, chances are it wasn't from the shot...best time to get it is the beginning to mid Nov...takes 2 weeks for antibodies to build up...

Okay, it takes approx. 10-11 hrs. per mapquest, to drive to FLL- here's the plan:
I will work until 2 pm on Fri., 10/9, and Lee will pick me up with car packed-- we have to stop every 2 hrs. for Lee to get out and walk some so it will take us quite a bit longer..we are going to shoot for somewhere between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach to stop for the night...stay somewhere cheap..Sat. we will sleep til whenever then get back on the road..... should pull in around lunch time...hope our room will be ready early! The older I get, the more I hate long drives!

Yeah, a real day off!!!
Later,
Martha

Morning All,

Just off to work again. This is getting to be a habit.

Kathy, I couldn't resist making some further comments on the duct tape after Barb's response. I guess she was taking it all seriously. :? Personally I think it's hilarious. We always take an over the door hanger because it leaves soooo much more room on the bathroom counter tops.

I just booked my ticket through Orlando to Manchester at the end of November. I get in at about 5:00PM and leave at 8:50 PM so it really would not be worth your time to come and meet me especially at that time of day on a Friday. (td)

Thanks for the offer though. If I were coming in around lunchtime It would work out better. I will just look around the shops and read a book.

Have a good day guys. Cindy enjoy you brisket. Martha, hope you enjoyed the day off.

Hi, everybody:
Hope everyone had a good w/e....

Lee is finally feeling better, although he still has a nasty cough... that may take awhile to go away.

Still no rain!

Kathy- check in with us and let us know how the garage sale went..

Tom- where are you? Did you ever hear from that restaurant?

Later,
Martha

Greetings to all!

No Martha I never heard back from the Rustic Inn. After some of the reviews that Kathy found I am thinking it would not be the best choice. So we are up for whatever!

Kathy: I know what you mean, It will be nice meeting new people yet we are celebrating our Mariner reunion so it is a bit awkward. I even kind of feel guilty about flaming here about a certain somebody.

So this does make a good place for planning for our group. The Floataway Lounge seems to work well for that also.

Kathy:
Don't drink beer so it will have to be wine or margaritas and beer on the beach!!

Honestly, we don't care so long as we get to be with everyone!!:wave

Tom- I agree wholeheartedly...don't want to exclude anybody!

I am working on a plan to get together at the hotel. Since our rooms are 440 sq ft. I think they may be big enough for us to have a party. I am hoping to maybe get us two adjoining ones and we can then spread out, but if not we can do it in ours.

Wine and Pizza, maybe some cheese and crackers, grapes. Any other suggestions? Alan and I will be there the day before so we have time to do a recce. I think that way we will be able to talk and be able to hear what we are saying. Saturday night will be soooo busy everywhere, and besides we will have plenty of great meals on the ship.:chef

I think we will have to include the others staying at the hotel Bill and Anne, and Nancy and Rich.

That also means that Cindy and Marilyn can just come on over for a while when they are ready as we will not have to meet an reservation time. :)o

Sounds like an awesome plan! I have been in contact with UKBill regarding our shared excursion in PDC and he seems like a great guy! I am sure he and Anne will fit right in with our group!
