kruisin kelly

well I wanted to put what I understand about needing a passport. I have heard that you don't NEED a passport if you leave and return from a US Port, but if there's an emergency in port and you need to get home, that you would have problems if you didn't have a passport. Personally I just applied 9 days ago (in the chicagoland area) and received it today! What a surprise and what a relief. I was quoted 4 weeks, and was happily surprised!

Thank you so much! we just booked a cruise on the Destiny for Nov. - and love seeing all the pics - it's a great way to get excited!!!

You have a beautiful family and took an amazing journey - if only we all could take 4 cruises!! What an adventure!!!

Okay - now I see that you guys are active on other threads, too! Should I be jealous? haha - Regarding PF Chang's, there is one at the Westshore Mall (check it out on Google maps), and it's a big mall. It's right by the Springhill Suites, about 5-6 miles from your hotel. The funkybunch will have dinner at Bucca Di Beppo, after many emails and much negotiation, (it's hard to direct this 12 person herd!) But PF Chang's was on my list! Yeah, regarding Bahama Breeze, I wanted the "local flavor", and Funky pointed out that they have them in Texas, Tennessee, and Chicago area! So my point was moot! We went for the family style italian!
