twinlges Posted March 20, 2011 #101 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I have been lurking here reading your posts and so excited for you! It is so touching that people we meet online can be so thoughtful...I hope your birthday was awesome and your "day after birthday" is even awesomer! I am headed to Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, I have lots of family there, and my daughters are going to look at colleges. I wasn't going to, but, you've inspired me to go to the Port and watch the ships go out on Saturday or Sunday! We are members at Lago Mar, and the beach is just off to the left (starboard?) as you are leaving, just beyond the tower of condos...I truly hope you have a GREAT trip! Enjoy and I'll go back to lurking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropiclvrs Posted March 20, 2011 #108 Share Posted March 20, 2011 First off, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I can still say that becuase it's still Saturday here in California;) I love reading your posts, you have such wonderful enthusiasm and overall a fantastic view on life. I followed your Live thread last year from Oasis, and am so happy that you found your way back to Allure. This time, I am sure you will get to see Jes perform. Hope you have a wonderful time. Bon Voyage!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccafcr Posted March 20, 2011 #109 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Good morning! Today's the day! wahoo! i bet you can barely contain your excitement today. i know when it's my turn, i wont be able to! i watched allure come in this morning (it's 10am now here) So if your not already up, once you wake up and go out onto your balcony there she'll be! i'm betting your son is equally excited to see you too! Have a great cruise, i have loved reading everything so far, and cant wait for more updates whenever you can about the ship. B.x:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzwpj Posted March 20, 2011 #116 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Happy Birthday! I can not think of a better way to celebrate! I have so enjoyed your Allure pre-cruise story and will following you every step of your week on the Allure. Have fun with your son, how special. Some day I will be on the Allure. We just got off the Freedom and were in port right across from the Allure. She is awesome. Thanks for your "colorful" report. I can't wait to read more.

Gigi Fan Posted March 20, 2011 #121 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Barbi, You're there! I'm so excited for you, and anxious to read all your onboard posts. Your hotel balcony photos are amazing! I love the moonlight ones and the early-morning Allure pix. Glad to hear your birthday "celebration" turned out so well. How cool to meet another mom-coach who was far away from home, but close in spirit as you shared your wine and stories. And Trudy, what a kind and thoughtful birthday gift. I loved Barbi's photo of the treats you ordered for her. Have an absolutely fantastic trip. I wish I was onboard with you like I was last year on Oasis. I'll be reading everything you post here, though. Tell Jes my husband and I loved his performances two weeks ago when we were on Allure. What a talented group of performers! I know I don't have to tell you this, but HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
