Hi All,
We have not made any plans yet. We might just wing it and find the local tours? I hope all is well with everyone :)

All is well here....we may be wrapping up union negotiations today....so I will be a happy girl. I am currently on my wireless laptop while sitting in the federal mediation office conference room between negoations...this cannot end soon enough!

But 4 weeks from this moment I'll be in Miami so that is good...

Bought bandaids and a traveltoothbrush today....anyone else go shopping?

Did I mention I bought the new iPad last week? I just need to get it all figured out and loaded up before vacation!

Also have a loaner book home from Lowes....levelor blinds. I just keep on finding more things to buy for the house. Grr!

Oh, and we reached a tentative agreement last night at 6:40, so I did escape the federal mediators office....I guess that is good news. Way back in the beginning of taking this job I was did ask if we I would have a problem getting off work if the contact wasn't settled, and though I was told it would be ok, in the back of my mind I was a little worried....

Oh Jim, you speaketh the truth! lol

But today we had an odd role reversal in our house. Greg needed a new pair of dress pants. I sat in the chair outside the dressing room, watching the NFL draft while he came out and modeled for me.

If only dept. stores would get smart and open a sports bar inside...men would buy into this shopping thing. Goota go, Anne is coming ;D

I like purses on sale too! I will pay full price for athletic shoes at Running Zone. They have great service! If you don't like the shoe, return it in 3 weeks for full credit.

Ok - we have one planner in the group - Barb! lol

Greg and I were just talking a couple of nights ago and we' ve never been such un-planners as we are this year! We've loved Aruba and Curacao in the past and will probably just explore the ports by foot. At Grand Turk - Margaritaville is it. And we do not know at all what to do in La Romana. We may decide on Dreams if we can do it at the last moment. If not, we may take a quick trip out in the port followed by a pool day on board. I am just looking forward to the R&R!

Hi All,
We have not booked any shore excursions at all yet. We just might wing it. I have ben busy at work and need a cruise. I orderd Aurora a birthday cake for the 29th she will be 3 years old. I also orderd Hope a bottle of wine for the sail away. We have to drive 2 cars to the port..remember I am taking 4 woman with me and we need a place for there luggage :) I am thinking we should arrive at the port around noon if I can get the crew up and out the door before 7am. I hope all is well with everyone. I have an operation on the 17th of this month to take out all the hardware that fixed me up ... I am doing very well with my pancrease no pain at all for the last 2 months...the CT scan shows everything is in good working order...so by cruise time I should be good to go.

Jim, I am so glad to hear you are doing well. We can't wait to see you and the family.

Is everyone getting excited?

Like everyone else, this cruise can't get here soon enough!
