Very pretty dress and I like the colors but I don't see blue

in it anywhere. In my opinion, the tan shoes would go much

better:)

That's what I was thinking/wondering. I know green and blue go together but if they would stick out like a sore thumb. I'm packing both shoes, so I guess I will have to decide that night. LOL

I wish there was a little bit of blue in there, but there isn't.

Here is a dress I ordered online. My dilemma is, I am packing ocean blue heals for some other dresses and was wondering if I could get away with wearing them with this dress, even though it is basically green. The other heels I am packing is a tan color, so I guess I could wear those.

This is in Turkey. I was waiting for the sun to go halfway behind land and then these two boats came through and they almost sailed past. But, I got them. LOL

Just bought a new Canon D2i and went out the first night I got it, just to see how well it would do in a night time setting. Here I didnt even adjust any settings. It was on the preset night time setting. Just turned the camera on and clicked away.

This wreath was on a front door with just a porch light on. I am amazed at how well it shows up. Think I will be VERY happy with this camera.

Cant wait to use it in 6 days on my cruise!!

We are sailing on the Carnival Glory in Feb and we are thinking about doing snuba. has any one done it? Do you think a 8 y/o could do it (she is a good swimmer). I like to do ship trips and it is offered in St Thomas and grand turk. Any opinion on either place?

 

Thanks

I have SNUBAed in Grand Cayman, and its more than being a good swimmer. I had a hard time staying down in the water. Had to keep coming up to the surface and get more weights put on me. Make sure she is weighted down good.

Also, she will need to be able to keep her line tangle free.

It is very hard to take pictures if she is wanting to do that. Focusing on breathing, keeping tangle free, etc... is hard to do.

In two weeks I am wearing a khaki skirt and a white crochet sweater top with brown sandals.

Usually I will wear capris or a skirt. This time, not even packing a pair of capris, since we are actually driving to the port instead of flying. I am bringing way more shoes and clothes than I usually do. LOL

LOL. Yah, I know. I hope to do the dress justice. LOL

Here's one of the dresses. Looking for the second one to post.

Think I found a simple lightweight cardigan per say, on Ebay. Should receive it in time. It will have to do for now.

Love hearing what you all are looking for. Not that you are having a hard time finding it, but that it is interesting to hear so many things are the same. You know what I mean. LOL

Once on board, it's all about another ADULT BEVERAGE!!!

I am having a devil of a time trying to find some kind of white or cream colored sweater to wear to dinner and afterwards especially at the shows. That dang air conditioning makes it shivering cold for me.

Still trying to find something before I sail in two weeks.

What's been or is, your hardest item to find? Did you ever find it?

My cruiseaholic baseball hat!!

Great info for the first time cruiser. But, like you say, VERY doable to lower that cost down. Me personally, don't spend or do as much as your list. It is definitely individualized. Still giving the cruiser some much needed info as to what could be an added cost. When they think "all inclusive" and it's not, it's a shocker!!

Hey, stop it now -- you are freaking me out! :eek: I have been to Aruba (and St. Thomas, too) and they did not look like that! Were you and Roadtripster perhaps on the Twilight Zone cruise? :p

LOL. That is a good pic too. That I know of, I wasn't in the Twilight Zone unless its when I had one too many Miami Vices!! LOL ;)

OK, now that is both cool and creepy at the same time -- it looks like a toy! (I know it is supposed to look that way, but still...)

I know. I thought that too. I didnt realize how much until I saw it on the computer instead of the tiny camera screen. LOL

Look closely and you can see a person. LOL

One of my favs, taken from our balcony in St. Thomas.

Bushwackers are a must for me.

There's another one I can't think of the name. Its two colors in the glass, side by side.

What color is the dress? It looks like champagne, but not sure.

 

These look like they would be gorgeous ....LOVE ZAPPO

Love those shoes. The color is actually pretty close to the photo. It is like a darker champagne color, so I dont think a neutral or cream color will work. I am lucky to be able to wear just about any color. I have a natural tan color all year long, so most things work. I'll keep looking for shoes. LOL

Love a good bargain. Found this dress at JCP on clearance. Now to just find some peep toe heels of this color.

Cant stand them. Have yet to find a pair that fits. I avoid them like the plague.

Have NEVER packed a pair for vacation.

I always pack light and only a carry on, so I only wear short dresses to dinner. This is myself and my daughter.

Passing this link on to my friend. She is having a terrible time finding dresses that aren't so expensive. It is her first cruise and she really doesn't want to soak a bunch of money into dresses she thinks she might not wear again for some time. She is very large chested and some what shorter. Hoping she finds something she likes.

Thanks OP for the 411!

I've always gotten a pillow and blanket on several different airlines to Europe.

I made a pillow case for my pillow. I find it nasty to use one without a clean pillowcase.

Sometimes I bring my own blanket too, depending on how long of a flight it is.

I got the Intercontinental for $90, for 7/4/11. (Return stay)

Also, bid separately for our arrival night. I wanted to try and hopefully get different hotels and I did. When we arrive we are at the Hilton Caribe. Can't wait to compare them!

I have never heard of it so I did some research after reading your post.

 

I have cruise coming up mid October and I had good luck on other high protein plans. I will be ordering a copy of the book. I wish you could find alist of what is allowed in phase 1 since I will have to wait a few weeks for my book to come.

 

Good luck & keep posting your results here.

I googled the diet and came up with several different websites that do list the phase foods. I THINK one site was my dukan diet dot com. Not positive though.
