2. I'm jealous!
I normally am on a cruise about now but we decided to skip it this year. We do have a cruise booked for April of next year. Tell us what cruiseline, the itinerary. I just love cruising!

Hope you have a great time!

7. Hey!!!!!!!!!!!
You caught me doing actual work! :o

I hope you're having fun! No word on the house, except that someone else made an offer on it! :grr::mad: I made a counter offer last night that is very strong. If the seller can get more for it than that, more power to him.

Enjoy the trip! I leave in 9 hours! :D

:hug:

11. What's for dinner and how much have you won at blackjack?
Damn, I love to cruise! I took my wife on a Western Caribbean cruise (Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Cozumel) for our anniversary a couple of years ago, and it was the best vacation we've ever had.

16. prime rib and lobster so far..
I love Cozumel. One of my favorite places in the world!


not much of a gambler.. especially since I usually just play slots and the odds on the ship stink even more than Vegas.

18. Sounds great!
But be ready for some changes when you hit the Pacific! I prefer the Carib... I'll be sailing on Dec 26 from Galviston... I think I'll follow your lead & Email the DU too...... We should have a new president by then, if everybody donates to Kerry! Bon Voyage!

20. Reminds me of a joke <groan>
Guy on a cruise ship is seasick, hanging over the rail, you get the picture. A purser walks by and the guy asks the purser, "I'm sicker than a dog. Where's the nearest land?" The purser sez, "One mile from here, sir!" Guy looks around, can't see anything. "Which direction?" the guy asks. The purser replies, "Straight down, sir!" .
:eyes:
