Everytime I see statements like these it makes me pause. Since I too am a Shirley, I keep freaking about "Did I agree to make baskets? And why can't I remember?"


A few years ago when we were going to Kennedy Space Center after the cruise, Shirley had some discount coupons for us so we stopped by the shop to see her. She was so nice and helpful. The children enjoyed meeting her too and listening to her stories.

Wow - I'm jealous. I had such good intentions this morning.... I did get the kitchen cleaned up.

ds mowed the lawn this morning, other than that we were lazy. Got up went to the Y worked out while the kids swam and then sat in a lounge chair for awhile reading. No incentive to hurry home, because I need to clean and do laundry...

from somewhere on the internet:

How many islands in the BVIs? If you know, you have to prove it by counting out loud after imbibing a few shots at the Soggy Dollar. “One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, four….” Actually, there are 60 gem-like isles, featuring some of the best crew watering holes in the Caribbean.

from somewhere else on the internet

JOST VAN D*YKE

White Bay The Soggy Dollar Bar is famous for its 'Painkillers', which were actually first invented here. The original recipe is a secret family recipe. Great Harbor Foxy's Tamarind Bar has certainly changed from the early 70's. Charter vacationers used to listen to true calypso while eating lobster with all of the locals at one long table. It has grown enormously. All kinds of talented local bands and musicians play here. The music and dancing can go on late into the night. Besides the bar and restaurant, there is also a large gift shop with a wide variety of local items, including CDs and the obligatory Foxy's T-shirt. Be sure to bring something personal you can tack to the ceiling, anything from Business cards to hats and even un*derw*ear is acceptable. This place is for those who are easily offended , but most people at least stop in and have a drink.

Little Jost Van D*yke 'Foxy's Taboo' restaurant and bar is the new 'in' place. You are more likely to meet Foxy here than at his original bar. Moorings are available, but this can be a rough spot in unsettled weather.

and one more - for those going to cane garden

At Cane Garden Bay, Quito Rhymer is an extremely popular local musician who can be found performing at his bar/restaurant, 'Quito's Gazebo'. Further down the beach, Al Henley's Big Banana Paradise Club, Rhymers Beach Bar, Stanley's Welcome Bar and Myett's Garden and Grill all offer meals, drinks and live music on selected nights that can be heard from your anchorage spot out onto the water. 'The Pub', below the Fort Burt Hotel, was the original bar in Road Town in The 60's and 70's and is a lively hot spot today.

There are bars at Village Cay Marina, Mariner Inn, Pussers waterfront and many other locations in town, but these can hardly be considered beach bars, although many people visit them when embarking and disembarking from their Caribbean Yacht Charter.

okay - last one -

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE GET ME A PENNANT (if I tried, you'd be carrying me back to the ship LOL!)

West End/Sopers Hole

Pussers Landing & Company Store has two restaurants and a variety of shops, but it also has a popular bar. Here's a hint, when you order your first 'Pussers Pain Killer', ask for a card. After visiting three different Pussers bars (and having a painkiller at each) you will get a Pussers Triangle Pennant you can fly from your boat - or hang at home!

[Macavity]

okay, so its not the last one...

Hi All,

Just started to read through the post We are going to be crusing with you and getting more excited by the day! We were on the Magic back in 2002 (I think) and excited to be going once more. It will be myself, DH and DS11.

[scduckman]

Welcome. Seven years is a long time between cruises on the Magic.

[bdtmoult]

It is a long time! We've enjoyed lots of cruises since but looking forward to going back on Disney. We live in Orlando and we love the parks. So this year I decided to book us back on the Magic!

Okay - I just now read this - Its how to find inner peace...

By following the simple advice I heard on the Dr. Phil Show, I have finally found inner peace.



Dr. Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started and never finished".



So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this
morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Kalua,
a package of Oreos,the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake,
some Doritos and a box of chocolates.

You have no idea how good I feel.
