    Great pics guys--but I'm lodging my first complaint--please when everyone is together I'm confused who everyone is---so names please. Remember I'm the old one with the old brain.

    Sandy what a fantastic menu and really all u had was maybe a little over 1 glass of wine (Ithink) or maybe more, whatever I'm sure u enjoyed every bit of it. And u deserve to.

    Wow, love the pics. So so so much fun. How come no Julie and no NM, were they at a different hotel? Gosh, not even sure anyone will even see this. Oh well.

    Dorothy, your hair has gotten so long! And LDB, look at all that hair on you! Is it curly, like when we got the chemo curls?

    And if you guys don't have wifi, but phones work, feel free to text me pictures and I will post. Just make sure everyone is ok with that.

    Love to you all! Even our non cruisers!

    Nope, found it on the internet. Google is my friend! And I don't want the lounge to go without a DOTD, with NM being gone.

    Mornin' Ladies--I put this silly drink on earlier and forgot to submit. It was so much easier to submit when I was young.

    I'm loving this vacay---Dara u'r hair is so long, I guess I haven't seen it that long before. Just a warning I will be speaking in total jealousy for the next few days--but I'm not really. I'm just so happy u're all together. I just wish it could have been all of us. Lori I wish u were better and could have gone--how are u doing?

    Again I was up til 3m but at least I washed my hair and cleaned up and changed, which we all know is a big deal around here. I really feel the best time for me is at nite cuz I take my pain meds then, they don't make me that tired but I don't feel the pain so much, but everyone is sleeping so I quetly do my stuff, LOL

    Well I'm sure the goils are busy getting ready today, so they'll be busy and since I'm not techy at all--I guess they can still keep in touch on the water too, rite????

    Be back latah.

    I LUBS U ALL

    Cami, as usual, you have me cracking up over being able to submit when you were younger. And I am feeling ok. That is not why I didn'tgo. My reason is really the fact that I would rather use the money and go see my daughter in the Virgin Islands. And where is all this pain you are having? Is it in your bones? Is there where cancer is on you, the bones?

    Super quiet in here now! For Cami, the last picture is Nancy, which she posts enough pictures (which we LOVE) that you should recognize her. Then Lynne (4sewwhat) with that reddish curly hair and then our lovely Julie.

    You goils moosta arrived before the others?

    Everyone did make the boat. Hoping we can hear from them whilst they are sailing! Today we will have Cami's Cocktails, with the cool aid ice cubes, Sprite and Vodka!

So I'm fine just a bitchy old woman.

    Hi ladies- well, I am not cruising, but busy working at my client site this week. I saw some other photos of some people I know via FB on some type of tropical vacation together. Everybody is having fun but us, what are we doing wrong?

    Goldie- I can relate to having to make choices around travel too. My family does not live nearby so some of my trips involving visiting them or other special events. Seeing your DD in the Virgin Islands sounds nice. Which island does she live? I have not met one I dislike! What does she do there?

    How are the folks on the east coast that got buried in snow doing with the dig out?

    Cami- I am sorry you are having pain. Wishing you better days sister.

    Jazzy, my DD lives on St. John. She works in the service industry. Waitress at Sundog Café and she cleans Villas, which is where she makes the most. $25 and hour and up. Some of these villas she cleans are like $10,000.00 a week to rent! So I have her there and then my family in MI. Husband's daughter, her hubby and 2 kids live in CA, and he has another daughter in Phoenix. Whom we see quite a bit.

    Hsant, where's the likkor in that drink????

    From this thread, ones that still post, I have met MemaSue, Genny, Dara and Cami. All in all I think about a dozen gals!
