I keep trying to go over our plans for Tortola and St. Thomas. Imust keep telling myself not to plan too much because then we won't enjoy the vacation as much. But on the other hand, we may not get back to Tortola and wouldn't it be a shame to not go and see those great beaches!!!!

I've been to both beaches and The Baths is really special. I've actually been there twice and I was thinking that I wouldn't like it as much the second time but I really did even though it was more crowded the second time. There's something pristine about the water and the beach(maybe the water is more fresh and clean due to the filtration of the bath rocks?) It is a sight to be seen and a marvel of nature.

Cane Garden Bay is like many beaches in the BVIs, it has a few shack bars and you can rent the beach chairs with really limited shopping. I think it is where Jimmy Buffit wrote Margaritaville. It is cove-shaped and small yachts dock there.

I thought White Bay Beach was much nicer (where the Soggy Dollar Bar is located, home of the "Painkiller")

I keep rethinking the Bath too. I don't want to regret not going there. Now I'm thinking of being brave and doing it on our own in the AM. I'd like to get there before the excursion group. Stay until lunch and head back to the ship. I think someone else from our group is going the same thing.

I am. I read on a recent thread about a person who just got back that that is what they did. It sounds like they saved a lot of money and it worked out well. I don't want to pay the high prices for the excursion, avoid the crowds and also have the option of changing my mind if I want to. If you book the excursions, you become locked in 3 days before you sail, no refunds.

I would put ages but we are all adults and if iput my mom's age she might kill me.


I just bought the cutest birkis from amazon.com they have tinker bell on them. A little expensive but they were so cute and I needed a little retail therapy after the day I had. Today I had a child have a seizure while doing her feeding. I had one through a chair threw the window and to top that off I had a child escape from the room unnoticed. Thankfully they were caught before they got out of the building. Lets just say it was a lovely first day back. I can not wait for July to get here.

Patience I'm not sure about today required lots of deep breaths to keep me from losing it. All I know is that first thing tomorrow morning the alarm is going back on the door so we can hear when it opens and all meds are going in a more easily accessible location. At the end of the day me and the three other teachers in the classroom can only look at each other and life at least my job is not boring.

Lissa...what do you teach again? I think I need a nap after reading about your day.

I used to teach 3 year-olds at a church school three times a week for only 2.5 hours a day. There were days I kept asking my assisstant "This is a church, there's got to be wine somewhere!" It was a lot of fun though. I miss the little ones.

Same here. Since DH will be hiking for two weeks before this cruise, he just couldn't take off all this time from work. He will be missed. Maybe I'll call him just before the horn plays as we sail away? Too mean?
