Sorry to hear that(this sounds similar to the woman I'm talking about)................... all I can say is that the doctors are getting better and better with all of this, we'll be thinking of her and your family!

I have been off school for a week now, but I did spend last week doing extra work with curriculum development. Afterall we DO have a cruise to pay for! Now it is time to get this place back in order! We are planning on having a yard sale to try to clean up yet make a few dollars for the trip. It's such a great way to make sure the house gets cleaned up, but with a bonus!

GL with your travels Aaron and Joann #2. It's hard to believe that your time to travel is here already!



I hope everyone has a great week!!

Jenny's back!

The lady who was making them said they should have arrived at our mail facility a week ago. This could be cutting it short! We leave next Wednesday, that only leaves 2 more mail deliveries!!! I'm still waiting on some shorts, a swimsuit and pillowcases!!!

For all of you out there who think I'm organized.....

OOOHHH!!! Got the pillowcases today!!!!

Just gotta make sure they don't end up in the wrong place and accidently get packed!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your mom. Hopefully her treatment will be successful, and she will be able to attend her reunion.

Isn't it funny how just when you think I need to check on where something I have ordered is it shows up The important part is they have arrived.

You must be so organized I would never be able to find anything. I haven't moved in 25 years and I can't find things

I'm home today due to an appointment and I'm supposed to be cleaning and organizing. Instead, I keep posting on here. HOWEVER, I JUST STARTED TO PACK TODAY..........I've opened the suitcase and put in the T-shirts and FEs.........my FE shipment should arrive this week as well, woohooo.......

Ok, here's the most recent info on the day charters.......

After talking to my DH, we've decided to go with the Kuralu day sail trip to Jost Van ****. The price is about $90pp give or take $10, I'm still working on this one. I've asked if we should just make one stop to White Bay Beach (home of Soggy Dollar Bar and a beautiful beach) or if we could also go to Great Bay. They're getting back to me tonight. I think it includes transportation, soft drinks, beer and lunch (I have to double check on that but I should know tonight.) I know some of us expressed interest but that was back when we were talking about the Baths. I'll have more info tonight but please PM me if you're interested b/c there's only 20 people maximum.

We've also decided to go St. John for the day to snorkel. It will cost between $50 - $70 to include ferry shuttle to St. John, snorkel equipment and snorkeling on the north side of the island. This one has a maximum of 28 people for two boats, about 14 each and includes only soft drinks and beer.

If anyone is interested in either of these trips please PM me with a total number of people and whether or not you need snorkel equipment for the St. John trip. I will share more info as I get it.

Just finished working with clients. dd baked a double batch of peanut butter cookies, yum! DS was up early and out the door at 7:00 for marching band practice. So much for summer vacation.
