Hey Mo, I have the perfect place in mind
wrap your beer in a brown paper bag and go sit on the curb with Jerry

I know one of your neighbors who is easily persuaded

Don't work too hard April

[April]

I know-- I know--- why all the rum is gone---TC drank it and spilled the rest
and if your not wearing flip flop---shoes that is---you might be able to drink it our of your shoes--------

Cheers
April

[ScurvyDog]

Experience has taught me to always wear self-bailing shoes.

[lindnet]

Mo, how's Jerry feeling? And did you find anywhere to go for happy hour??

Linda, glad you got good news on your test. Arthritis is no fun, but it's much better than the alternative.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Too bad it's almost over.

[mo&jerry]

TC The curb is almost perfect, but still too hot. We ended up at Pappadeaux w friends. Drove to Eage Pass D=Kickapoo Casino (won a little at first, but of course lost) 2.5 hrs there and of course 2.5 hours back. I have had my road trip fix, altho next weekend we may end to beach to see Joe King Carrasco and the Crowns reunion, then to Rays the following weekend. 4th of July probably stick around home. Whew I'm tired of road trips now

Any good summer plans??

[April]

Ok Mo you just ruined my day-- I love Pappadeaux----jealous of you big time---eating and drinking and a casino-----
I was lucky enough and had a long enough layover in DFW to enjoy a quick meal----heading out to MIA for the Glory
--there arent any in CA--but lucky for us--in AZ near our daughter---
Well at least it did warm up and turned out to be a very nice day----
Cheers
April

Glad you had an enjoyable "road trip" it's always nice to get away once in a while.

My plans for this summer are to downsize everything!!! list my place for sale and then worry about what the next step will be. I'm tired of taking care of 4 1/2 acres of land/fences/gravel driveway/ tree overhang ... all that stuff I'm thinking condo now that way I'll have "people" to take care of all the maintenance for me .. including the pool We'll see how this plan works out ????????

[mo&jerry]

Condo w pool sounds great!! We may sell this small home and do the same!

Booked room thru work for March 3rd, so we can party w everyone Saturday nite!!! Rates went up, it was only 48 a couple weeks ago and now 55. for Quality Inn And Suites on Seawall, hope its not too bad of a dump, tripadvisor reviews are good. When I checked other websites for rates, it shows unavailable. So hope a room is actually "booked" or we'll be sleepin on the beach!!!!

This thread looks pretty dormant...

[Phil&Liz]

Folks are still focused on Magic in 20 days.

Big news on BC5 is having Heidi and Kye supposedly going to be there this time.

[ready2gonow]

Dormant? Naahhhhh, we are all just making our plans for November!

Won't be long until that cruise, and this one is just around the corner! Of course, there are a few holidays before then.

[Snoozeman]

One at a time....

[sweetlissa]

I'm booked on this one as well.

[Phil&Liz]

OK now we can go active ! 103 days !

[Kay aka Linda]

[lindnet]

[TravelMike]

Busy as heck here, Happy Thanksgiving every one! I actual put up some lights yesterday, I plan to put up a few more today, at this rate I should be done by Christmas, Hmmmmmmmm, whats wrong with this picture.....

[lindnet]

Anybody given any thought to what they're doing in the ports on this one?

Montego Bay - Didn't we go to some sort of beach on this one? I seem to remember a nice table under umbrellas and sand/water. Will we go there again, or somewhere new?

Grand Cayman - I'm not sure if I got off the ship last time. Anybody got ideas or plans for this one?

Cozumel - I know we talked a little about either Paradise Beach or the Bar Hop Tour again. Thoughts?

Only 13 more Sundays!

Yes I think Doctors Cave Beach in Jamaica again. Not a lot of better choices there.

Grand Cayman on our own with possible meet time at Margaritaville.

They may have Bloggers excursion in Coz or Paradise or Nachi or Bus. All sound good.

[April]

Lights up Mike---I'm impressed

Hoping to stop by Wet Wendy's again---

will follow tag along in Jamaica---didn't go with you all last time

I love the stingrays in Grand Cayman but I've done it before--same with Margaritaville---


just led me astray--hahaha
cheers
April

[TravelMike]

(Lights up Mike---I'm impressed), Thanks April, it made me feel like I was 100 years old plus, but I did manage to get most of them up before Thanksgiving. I think I was bitten by a Red Frog or something. Boy was I tired after that trip. Nephews came for Thanksgiving all had colds, so now C and I both have colds what fun. WE were planning to go the the SF Saturday for our first Christmas party but I doubt we will make it in our current condition....

[ready2gonow]

Hi, guys! Ho ho ho!

It's December! I decorated my tree today... all 3 1/2 ft of it! I know, I tend to go all out! I used to have the great big tree, but I figured out that for years I was the only one decorating it and putting it away, and decided "to heck with it!" This is much more manageable. No lights outside for us. Mike, I know your house looks pretty, all lit up. But, STAY OFF THAT LADDER! You're going to mess around and hurt something important!

Hmmm, plans..

In Jamaica, Doctor's Cave Beach sounds like a good plan. It worked well last time. I think we should all go together, again, because I scare easily!

Grand Cayman, last time it turned into a Bloody Mary morning, and we all stayed on the ship. That worked well. Again, I don't have anything special I want to do, so I'll follow everyone/anyone else.

Cozumel... I'll do whatever, but would like to check out Paradise Beach. Did someone say Wet Wendy's? Sounds like a good place for lunch! Yeah, that's it, food! hahahaha

I haven't heard anything about John's exc. but I don't necessarily need to join in that group, unless it is something that I just REALLY want to do.

Mike, I'm sorry that you a C both have colds. I think Don is about over his, but we are both still dragging. I have a couple of months to regain my strength!

[lindnet]

Bummer, Mike! I'm sorry you guys are sick. I know what you mean about being worn out after that cruise. And you went on one before it! I can't imagine. At least you didn't have to go to work when you got back.

I don't think I got off the ship in Grand Cayman last time. But Doctors Cave beach was a good time.
