Sweetdreams

OMG found this thread by chance....was not looking for BR stuff....but I almost needed a towel to dry my eyes..LOL so hard....you people are a hoot!!! You'll get a laugh out of this-what came to mind when I read throught this thread was grrrrrreat I will not have to change a TP roll for 11 days!!! I have been the one bestowed in my household to change all rolls in 3 BR. It never fails-it's always me...even buy Charmin Ultra Mega Rolls with new thigamajiger to allow mega rolls to adapt to you fixture but I still am the one to change them without fail. We were out this weekend & I had to even change the roll at a department store & the restaurant BR!!!! I don't care how they hang them as long as I'm not the one doing it! Wow! HAL should add this feature to the signature features of each stateroom.

We just booked our cruise to the Southern Caribbean about 30 days ago. With only 3 more weeks to go-I could not have been as organized as I am at this point without this board. I found it the week after we booked. We are celebrating our 25th Anniversary (though it's not until Oct.) but we want to cruise now! DH has never cruised but is looking forward to it. I was on the HAL Rotterdam nearly 30 yrs. ago-I still remember what I did each day of that week sailing to Bermuda & Bahamas and even the clothing I wore!

This thread is alot of fun and reassures me that I am not the only who enjoys the planning almost as much as the trip. I would hate to post my budget like a previous person did. I've enjoyed the shopping so much because I lost over 50 lbs. in the past year. Had to buy almost everything because nothing fit from last summer. Discount stores like Marshalls, Ross & Liz & Jones NY outlets are my "frequent buyer" stores.

The computer allows me to visit stores like Nordstrom, Cold Water Creek, Chicos, LLBean, etc. to view styles and all the new fashions. Since I've been unable to drive since November due to medical problems, I just sit down and cruise the internet when I feel like shopping-but just for ideas.

This board has allowed me to meet experienced cruisers who are so gracious and patient answering "stupid questions" about excursions, formal wear and of course the "packing lists". I thought I was the only who goes to this site several times a day. Sometimes I feel like I'm already on vacation!!! :)

It's such a pleasure to meet all the fellow cruisers.

Happened upon this thread & I had been having problems with adding smiles. So I'll try one and see if it works for me.
