Radiance 9-14-07 Polar Bear Express "Special"!

Jean, that sounds nice! We've been so cruised focused for so many years, I forgot what a land based vacation is like... well, almost!

I got most of my running around done and should be heading to the pool, but I can't get myself to go back out in the cold. At least it's sunny! I think I'll go pre-pack for my cruise instead, and find out what I don't have and need to buy! Oh, my hair stylist is giving me a mani/pedi next Saturday and she asked me today if I wanted her to paint a hibiscus on my big toe when she paints it! I told her I'd think about it!

Glad you're getting away out of the cold Jean. Have a great time in Mexico.

Sheila - I was seriously considering going on the Indy cruise, when my friend suggested a return to Zihua. But I know I'll cruise with you some other time, hopefully before Dec 2010. I need more swimming lessons!

It would have been great to have you on the Indie but I know you'll have a great time in Mexico.

Susan: I say "Go for the Hibiscus ...

Jean: Have a great time in Mexico, one place we have never been is the Mexican Riv...Your polish will match your personality !!!

Sheila: What is the itinerary for the Italy cruise, I tried to look it up on the website but the ship isn't there...You can always go back and put your name in your signature color of blue !!!

Jill, I don't think they know what the itinerary is, or even if it for sure is leaving from Rome! Kind of a Mystery Cruise II... LOL

After doing some research I found that out

Either it's dinner time, or my computer isn't working . It's just started snowing here, that's a surprise for the weather forecasters! I'm off home to finish packing. Have a good evening.

Grandkids are sleeping over tonight so we're having 'movie night'.........sooo no playing on computer for me ..........

Have a good evening y'all and don't drink too much without me!!!

Jean, happy packing!

And Jul, I'll have a drink for you! I've been drinking Mango Margaritta's since about 6:00 tonight...

Susan did Ray get home yet and how was the train?
Jill the Med cruise is a bit of a Mystery Cruise but I think it's starting in Rome as all the plans are pointing that way. It'll be fun watching it all play out.

BTW sisters I'm not posting a link but there is some interesting reading on the DS. Search the name which shall remain nameless.

Yes, Sheila, Ray got home on Thursday and he only wants to travel by train now! LOL... off to check the DS! LOL

Busy day here........dd coming in from Ind with one of her employees so have to be ready for that....

Gotta go find a new tux shirt for dh.....had his tux cleaned and realized that one shirt is a L and he needs a XL......remember now him complaining on last cruise that he couldn't button it.....hopefully somebody around here has one.

Onto a crazy day.

Have a GREAT Sunday y'all (gloomy here with potential snow and ice coming in)...Hopefully that'll all be gone by Thurs..

The last minute frenzy begins!
