Thanks for your support Florida! We're in Lake Worth, FL. Where are you coming in from? We were on the Crown last year and you're right, she is big and beautiful enough for all of us to enjoy!

Strangely enough, I think the only port we're not been to is Princess Cays!! I'm looking forward to a very relaxing cruise. It's been a very trying time since our May cruise. Looking forward to the wonderful R&R a cruise brings and the old and new friends we sail with.

Just trying to push our thread up to the front row!!

Joe and I are leaving on the Carnival Valor tomorrow. This will be the 4th year in a row that we've done the same ship, sailing date (within a day or 2) and itinerary. The Valor is a beautiful ship for those who have not yet experianced Carnival. We've met wonderful people on previous cruises, as well as on tomorrows cruise through these wonderful boards. Joe's got the laptop with him so he may pop in for a quick update!

Talk to ya'll in a week.

Hi kids!

Yes, we're back. The Valor was enjoyable, but I'm afraid I become more happy with anytime dining each time I go on a cruise that doesn't have it. I used to be so stringent and now if we don't feel like eating when "it's time", we don't. There are plenty of other options and you certainly are not going to starve! I won't even go on the scale until tomorrow to see what I have to loose! Hoping to get rid of some water weight! Entertainment was okay but nothing really impressive. I agree with Joe that they could do much more with that new jumbotron. If that's all they're going to do with it, it was a waste of money.

St. Thomas was was as usual beautiful. The water was as clear as you could ask for. We went to Coki Beach for the day. I bought us snorkel equipment and I had fun with it. There were some pretty yellow and white striped fish and some almost translucent angel fish. I'm not really good at my fish species, but I'm trying to get over my stingray snorkeling fear. The fish like Milk Bone dog biscuits!! Go figure! If you're planning on snorkeling, bring some with you. They're charging $1.00 for 2 bones! This was a good test. I did pretty well. No screamming through the snorkel!!

The great thing about living in Florida is the bags are unpacked and ready to be re-packed in 30 days, all the laundry is done, Cleopatra is home and Joe and Sharon are looking forward to sleeping in their own bed!

Later kids!!
