That su___ks. You need sleep for your knee to heal. Is there any possibility to get in earlier b for the hernia?

Do you know if they check your age to self guide snorkel? The snorkel tour mentions the age range is 4-65 no exceptions so I am hesitating to book. I don't feel that old sigh.

Funny man! That is really not going to happen.

My May cruise goes to Cocoa Cay. What I was thinking for that day is to go to the Chill Island section. We just want a chair in the shade, access to food, drink, bathrooms and maybe some snorkeling. Does this sound like the right area for that?

They look so cozy and cute.

Happy Birthday Muffin. You look like a party girl.

Happy New Year. The beach was nice today.

That sounds perfect. Thank you

Pennywise, pound foolish comes to mind. Even on a closed loop cruise there can be excursions that require a passport.

I could see that for only a 4 day cruise. However, if you plan to go on more and longer cruises or trips that require air travel out of the country you might want to budget for passports. For my family two years after a cruise my son went on a fabulous band trip to Europe. I was so glad that he already had his passport since the time was a lot shorter to prepare for that trip.

I need help.with what to do in Nassau in May. We were going to Blue Lagoon but that has removed from the excursions. We just want a nice beach day with amenities. Bathrooms, food and drink to purchase. Chairs with shade, and snorkeling would be a plus. Never having been there I have no idea of where to go and how to get there. Any ideas will be appreciated.

That is good. I would still get her in to your regular vet for bloodwork. Just to rule out anything funny going on.

Ok $15 A year. Yes it is payable all at once but like all things in life if a family wants to do a particular activity they need to budget accordingly.

Not that expensive. Works out to $13 a year. Give up two Starbucks a year and you have it covered.

It is 46 right now and no way would I go stand around outside. Sitting next to the fire knitting is perfect.

No way: Too cold Not wearing a diaper Not staying up that late Not crazy about big crowds

Not the best picture, but I am finally able to block some things I have finished now that my guest bedroom is not Christmas central.

One of my favorite extra items to bring is my travel lighted 10X makeup mirror.

Happy New Year's Eve to all. I am volunteering this afternoon and we will probably be sound asleep at midnight. Lol. Tomorrow we will walk on the beach but it may be a quick walk since it may be chilly. Then we will watch the bowl games. Roll Tide. Hook em Horns.

Maybe exploitation?

If all you have is a small personal item it will fit under the seat and you don't have to worry about overhead space.

Wow I never knew that when I was in my 20s I was living in dire and upsetting conditions. I was single, living in another state then my parents, couldn't afford a phone and went to the local pay phone once a week to call home.

I guess all your working life you have had all the benefits you thought you deserved. You could be obviously unhappy and frown at your customers and your boss was ok with that. Most of us have had crappy jobs where we thought we were unappreciated, underpaid and life/work balance was horrible. I wouldn't describe it as dire or upsetting just something that prompted me to find something else. If it wasn't for them there would be someone else wanting their job so we would still be able to enjoy our cruises.

It isn't mean to point out to someone who obviously does not understand how business works. If the crew is working in dire conditions they don't necessarily have to stay home and work but can apply to other cruise ships that have not such dire working conditions. If all the cruise ships have basically the same working conditions then it is upon the employee to decide if it the job is a good fit for them or not.

I am glad your SIL is doing well but so sorry for the sad news.
