Excellent plan.

Some wonderful quotes in that show.

Blackadder: A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening ear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn.

or how about

Blackadder: Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear.

Did you ever see The Young Ones? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Ones_(TV_series)

Or Red Dwarf?

Both from around the same time.

hello friends, its been a long time, I find this thread a bit overwhelming

Anyway, finally feeling like the vacation will be here before I know it! 10 weeks away

The reason I am posting is this: I was wondering if anyone out there needs a snorkeling buddy?

I am pretty sure that we will be taking the ferry and a cab to cinnamon bay on St John (from St Thomas). I can't get my DH in the water and would prefer to have a buddy out there on the water with me. Sounds like the best snorkeling is around the little island off shore and I would feel better not being alone.

If anyone might be interested, them PM me. I am a just ok swimmer but LOVE to snorkel and hope to have a repeat performance of the amazing scenery I experienced at the Baths on Virgin Gorda. I actually think we will do the Baths again since they were so amazing but I snorkelled those on my own before (as a first timer) and felt completely safe and comfortable.

Let me know if anyone is interested. My DH will be on the beach reading and guarding the stuff.

Bit of info for those of you doing WDW in conjunction with the cruise.

Beaches & Cream will now start service breakfast. It will be a counter service for those of you on the dining plan.

This is huge and I'm so excited!!!!!

Starting this Friday, they are serving a Counter Service or Quick Service (whatever you want to call it) at Beaches & Cream every morning. They have an eggs, bacon and toast platter, a pancakes and bacon platter, an omelete and a few other items including some children platters. Prices are very reasonable and it also counts as a Quick Service/Counter Service on the meal plan. The manager there told me that the cut off is 11 AM sharp. Even if there is a line, at 11 AM sharp, no one else gets served, even if you are next in line. This is because they have to turn it completely around for the lunch service at Beaches & Cream and of course after 11 AM, anything you get there is back to being a Table Service on the meal plan.

I think this will go over wonderfully and is a fantastic addition to the Y&B Club!!! I'm really excited about it!

PEG TAKE NOTE!

IMHO, The Thin Blue Line is not as good as Blackadder. If you haven't seen it (Blackadder) you should try it. British history with a warped sense of humor! I am sure they have it at Netflix if you are a member there. Its also sometimes shown on PBS.
