    elimar - Hope I did not spoil the surprise.  I am soooo excited about my upcoming cruise I don't know if I could keep a secret now.  I don't think we will have a problem getting others to come along.

    Let go to the places my cruise is heading to:  Jamacia, Cayman Islands and Cozumel.  I know those places very well.  Have been there numerous times.

    Chrissyb, you say that like you aren't coming...you better!   

    All the islands sound good...Jamaica, the music and the rum...Cozumel, the snorkelling and the tequila...Cayman Is., the rich bankers for the single gals.  What's not to love?

    I think we should hit every island (with the exception of Aruba). WooHoo!

    We can try, BarbA, why not?  Make sure we don't miss your favorite one.

    I'm having a fruit plate right now.  Just a light breakfast so I look good in my swim suit later.

    Eli, okay, you talked me into it.  Give me a minute or two to pack and I'll be ready to go.  Are you going to stop by and pick me up or should I just meet you at the first stop over?

    I thought this might be okay for the night wear

    Lookin' good, chrissyb!  We can easily come and get you real quick, because fantasy fuel oil doesn't cost a cent AND we have all the time in the world (before midnight tonight, that is!!!)

    I've been cruising, but it has been some time.  I am ready to go again.  Do they still have the formal Captain's DInner?  If so, would this be appropriate?

    I knew the WEATHER would clear once we got out of the port.

    If we are going by jo's route, I believe our first stop will be Cozumel.  I'm ready.  Got my suit on.  People make fun of me 'cause i like to swim in my jewelry.  They are just jealous!

    That's lovely for evening.  But first things first.  The sea, the sun, and hopefully jo will be back to show us some sights.

    You're in the Northern hemisphere now.  That suit is the only place you will see the Southern Cross for a while.

    Wow!  You ladies are partying without me.  If only I could wear the beachwear everyone has picked out.  Too much fat and poochy tummy.

    BarbA - Love the dress and you still have to dress for the Captain's dinner.  That guy beside you is pretty handsome - you are one lucky lady - hang on to that one.

    Eli - My first stop is Jamaica.  We have leave on Sun and get there on Wed morning.  So 2 days at sea and looking at the specimens around the pool.  Second stop is the Caymans - yes, lots of money there and then on to Cozumel.  I can play tour guide.  I know where all the good shopping is in Cozumel.  

    Meece - That dress is beautiful and appropriate.  I could wear that one. 

    Sherry - You can stow away in my suitcase - I will make room for you.

    Jo, since I was anxious to go snorkelling, we've stopped at Cozumel first, kind of going in the reverse order, I guess.  Those tour guides wanted to take us out to snorkel off their boats for a price, but Chrissyb and I went about a mile down from where the cruise ships docked and went in from shore there.  (That's where the guides were taking people on boats anyway  True story)

    The big guys are a little deeper in the water.  I guess i can't just lazily swim on the surface the way I like if I want to see fish like this.  Their lips kind of freak me out.  What kind of fish did you see?

    Oh-oh, swam TOO deep...and the moray eel didn't like that!  Chrissyb didn't either!!!

    I love that Parrot Fish.  It looked like it had two buck teeth, and a crazy look in its eye.

    Hey, I heard BarbA is missing...

    Oh!  There she is.  She found a local lounge that had $1.00 tequila shots & she's doing one with a couple of honeymooners.  OMG Barb!  It's not even noon yet.  You better pace yourself.

    Eli - We can go to Cozumel first, it makes no difference to me.  That is my favorite port.  Heck, we can stay awhile if you want to.  I don't remember the names of any of the fish - was too buzzed by that time.  I do know I saw flying fish - they are so cool.

    ChrissyB - We wouldn't leave you behind.  The creatures won't bite you.  They stay way down in the water and don't bother you.

    Where is BarbA - come out, come out wherever you are.
