I'm looking forward to seeing you both in your wedding gear!

Don't be fooled. Jackie is a bully.)

Thanks for the warning - she must be a wolf in sheep's clothing then!!

Anyone looking at excursion options, or other plans?

I have just been taking a look, Marilyn. TBH I'm not really feeling any inspiration for St. Thomas but think the "Day at the Baths" excursion in Tortola might be worth doing... More research needed...

What about you?

sssteele · 01-18-2009, 09:32 AM

Saw some photos of the baths, and that looks like it might be an option for us. Just tried snorkeling for the 1st time

on our Wonder cruise in 12/07/08 and want to try it again

I need to go and have a close look as I have forgotten the other islands!!! I seem to remember you can go up a cable car for a great view somewhere, and that can be done on our own.

Tortola - I think the baths would be a good choice, but a tour of the island would be nice too.

We attended Mouse Fest in December this year, and I did hear some talk about a meet in summer "09 to be held in camp Hill, PA and that is only about 20

minutes from Hershey. Sorry I don't have specifics. Keep your eyes and Mouse ears open!

...in a passive/agressive kind of way....

Excursions: Tortola may be a dolphin encounter, as I promised sister Dianne I would go there with her if she wants to swim with the dolphins (yeh, twist my arm). There is also some kind of 'crafts' excursion that involves playing with clay...need to go look at that one again. St Thomas will probably be shopping. I figure I'll entertain the less adventurous family members and Peg will be in charge of the DANGEROUS stuff!

And speaking of nagging people to post: WHERE IS PEGGY?

Hello ALL!!!!

My sister told me to check in the new thread so here I am!!!!

I've been re-connecting with people from my old neighborhood (past) and finding them on FACEBOOK!!!! It's great!

woody73 · 01-18-2009, 01:14 PM

Hello from Rio de Janiero, Brazil. We are at Ipanema Beach, and are going to Copacabana Beach. The bathing suits are the size of postage stamps.

Peg, I'm sorry to break this news to you. Your sister is a well known bully. That is all that people speak about on the Champs de Lyse.

(She also bullies her way into most of the fashionable homes).

Welcome aboard

We will both be celebrating our 60th Birthdays too--but not in the month they occurred

just a couple months late. Our 40th Anniversary is in August so we figure we can count that for this cruise too!

I have added you to post 1 on page 1 of this thread. Please check to be sure I made no typos and let me know if I did or if you want to add or change anything.

We used to live in Bethlehem PA and have been to Hershey a couple times. Love the chocolate odor that lingers!!

I am a fan of Hershey's chocolate over all other kinds!

Not so easily done. There are a couple of things I can try and see if it works. It's all trial and error. I also have to lose weight. Also not so easily done. I will keep trying.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

There has to be a plan that makes a difference. It may be tough, it may require things you do not like

but you have done hard stuff before

You are a strong person--YOU CAN DO IT!!

WE KNOW YOU CAN! whatever it takes.
