On the cruises with three days at sea, do they offer brunch all three days? We've only done one Eastern cruise, and we didn't book brunch for that one.

And I think oldest dd saw me reading the board, and might have guessed we're actually sailing Disney, and not Carnival. I hope not, because I really want to keep them in the dark until we turn into the Disney lot.

Brunch is served on all three sea days, so pick your best sea day.

That sounds like an awesome idea. Kaz, anybody else, want to join us. Specialty coffees and pastries to help us discuss our ways of coping and living with pain of any kind. It's a date Vicki.

Thanks Jacks.....can't wait to check it out. Did anything make you want to change any plans that you have?

JACKIE _ from the TORTOLA THREAD - There are stairs to walk down to the platform (there is a handle to hold on to). The platform is a little slippery but nothing to worry about. My mom had a total knee replacment on New Year's Eve and had no problem walking down the stairs or on the platform. You will meet hte trianer and your dolphin (mine was Calypso). You will all get to pet him, them you will get to have him kiss you, then you kiss him then do a little dance with him. Then you will swim out and have him come to you so you can ride in with him. Then our group did a splash game with him, danced with him and a few other things. My mom can not tread water that long because of her knee,so she stayed on the platform and the trainer had Calypso come to her and she was able to do more things with him so she won't feel left out.

Sounds like this will be fine for Dianne.

Thanks Deb how is the WW going for you? You know what? I think it was you that said you weren't cooking much - but one thing I do that's really easy is stir fry and it's easy to control the "fat" - I use really good extra virgin olive oil and it cooks the veggies and meat just great. I got my pan at a restaurant wholesale place and love it! I also started watching the cooking shows (I know some folks think its boring) but it really helped me get over the "what do I do..." blues.

Now I can follow pretty much any recipe and have done a couple of Ida Gartens recipes that are more difficult and it has turned out fabulous! Of course there is no more Barefoot Contessa for me while I'm on my plan!

Yes, I already e-maild this to Dianne....now we just have to decide to pay the DCL price or book on our own for half the price and LIE about being on the Magic. I hesitate to do that because of hurricane season (and fibbing).
