kingsnake57 Posted September 6, 2011 #877 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Carl, I couldn't find this thread anymore but luckily Carol has a link. We went to the Stanford/San Jose State game yesterday and enjoyed being at the "Farm." Hope you are enjoying the Labor Day weekend. We just watched "Slapshot" tonight...I had never seen that movie before. As DH said it is sort of like "Major League"; one of my favorite movies. I love slapshot!

Have a good Labor Day tomorrow - hopefully you are all off - carol We are good, thanks. How about you? We had a BIG birthday party for our son Kyle. Him and his motorcycle racing buddys went on a long hilly bicycle ride. Then, they all (10 of them) came to our house for beers and tri tip. Everyone had a great time. Sunday was karen's birthday. We just took it easy and went out for a nice dinner at Cappalini's in San Mateo. Today I did some chores around the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl, we went to the Stanford game Saturday and shoe shopping today at the Nordstrom Rack. We are getting ready for the Allure later this month for our anniversary. I am dreading work tomorrow and the only good thing is that it is a short work week! Have a good week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cctn Posted September 6, 2011 Author #882 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I have to start packing now too - Nov is coming up really fast ... Janice - I have discovered DSW and love it - found heels that are about 1-1/2" but they look high - and soooo comfy = glad I didn't pay the regular price ... I am still wearing CROCS -my feet love them - however, they are not the bulky original styles, they are the slip on's and no one even thinks they are CROCS - they are dressy yet casual so I wear them w/jeans too - and capri's - I have the ballerina styles as well - no matter what, I think the bulky ones are still comfy - no one wears them anymore - too bad - glad I found the cuter ones cuz they are just as comfy. This is the cruise where I will meet up with Patty and Dee again - can't wait! carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is brownish toned and the other white/black. It is nice that you can dress them up or down. We went to DSW a few weeks ago but didn't have many shoes my size so we went to Nordstrom Rack yesterday. Fortunately they had a better selection and I bought 3 pairs. FYI, I found the name tags that Dee made for the Explorer of the Seas Meet & Mingle; she is talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need new shoes (well DON'T need them, but you know how it is!!) for a wedding next month - and a couple of new ones for the cruise - Yes, Dee is a special lady and John is a sweetie too- they just had their kitchen redone and it's so nice - she keeps things very neat - I should try to be like her. I am glad we all have cruises to look forward to - talk about when we finally get together for lunch or dinner - carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamisonke Posted September 13, 2011 #898 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hello fellow cruise vacationers from Northern California! Our favorite cruise ship ritual is the muster drill! It is hands down the most widely attended social event of the entire cruise, don't you think? But we make sure we convey the appearance of paying attention to the important safety announcements during the muster drill. Aside from the muster drill, line dancing is fun, because there will always be someone else who can't quite pivot, turn, step ball change at the right time. The midnight chocoholic buffet on Norwegian Cruise Line is always a delight to the senses, that is until the sugar coma. A few summers ago, we used to watch CruiseWest ply up to the Carquinez Straight in the San Francisco Bay. We would stand on the shoreline in Benicia at the local pier, and watch the CruiseWest ship slowley make its way through the Carquinez Straight before turning back at the Benicia-Martinez Bridge.

Welcome to the Northern California thread started by Corkey AKA Carol; she lives in Antioch which isn't too far from you. Royal Caribbean has made the muster drill rather effortless now...thank heavens! I would never attempt line dancing since I am not that coordinated and I would be one of those who would zig instead of zag plus I don't prefer country music either...however, it is fun watching those who participate. Come back again and I would love to hear about your Mediterranean cruise when you get back. I've been thinking of November 2012 because it is less expensive, no crowds and cooler temps.
