I finally had time to look at the Blog. You've all added a lot of insite as to what we have to look forward to with getting to know your family! Looks like we have some great senses of humor and Rick and I really look forward to the cruise. Thanks Tim and Kym, for inviting us to share this week with you!

Our job is to share everything we can about Cozumel. I've gone online and looked at Cozumel, and I'm strictly a cut and paste kind of girl, so I will be plagerizing what other people to have already posted to the web.

One note you should be aware of, I am excited about the possibilities of scuba diving sometime during this trip. I have loved snorkeling in the past, but I will have to get my scuba certification in order to be ready for this trip. Now that I've seen Kymberly's photos of her "Shark Dive" on their Bahamas vacation, I am 100% positive that I do not want to go on a Shark Dive! I do look forward to seeing cute fish like Nimo. In order to be ready for this, I have to get in shape. I started exercising this week. At this stage, I can barely do 5 minutes on the treadmill. The friend I am exercising with is 30 something, and she is all about doing weights. So I have to put the weight on the lowest weight available on any given weight machine. Then I am huffing and puffing, but hey, I am starting early right? I've made my friend promise to harrass me twice a week to join her in the exercise room.

So I told my sister I wanted to learn to scuba dive. She is 4 years younger than me and she has always enjoyed snorkeling. She wants to learn to scuba dive also. She told her daughter, Susan, about our great plans to learn to scuba dive. Susan is 19. Nuff said about the age difference. Any, Susan's brother, Craig, said we should be careful because we might look like a couple of seals when we scuba dive, and you know how the sharks love to eat seals. Susan piped up and said we won't look like seals, we will look like a couple of manatees! So I am shopping on line for swim suits that come in the color grayish brown......manitee colors!

Oh well, looking like a manatee in the water is far better than shopping on any day. Once you get that refrigerator magnet from your vacation destination, they don't really have anything else I particularly need.

Here's what I found about Cozumel so far:

Cozumel Mexico
With a Mexican heart and a Caribbean soul, Cozumel is a paradise where tradition, flavor and joy come together. You will always find a friendly face and a warm welcome to make your stay an unforgettable one.Famous all over the world for its coral reefs, there are plenty of water sports such as diving, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and more. Cozumel's mostly undeveloped territory at the center of the island is covered by jungle and swampy lagoons, which are home to tiny mammals and endemic birds that have never left the island. Noteworthy is the Chankanaab National Park, a Cozumel icon, and the Punta Sur Ecological Reserve. This huge protected area at the southern tip of the island includes Punta Celarain and its historical lighthouse, as well as the Colombia Lagoon, a shelter for many of the island's endemic species, as well as other endangered forms of life, such as marine turtles and their nesting areas.
With its beautiful beaches and exotic locale, Cozumel is an ideal destination where honeymooners can enjoy colorful and breathtaking sunsets, moonlit walks on secluded beaches, swim through crystal clear blue waters and romantic candlelight dinners.

See you in the water! I will be the one that looks like a Manatee!

Would you like a stamp in your passport?

Remember in the movie "While You Were Sleeping" where Jack asks Lucy where she would most want to go in the world and she whips out her passport and says "Florence!" And he makes her feel bad because she doesn't have any stamps in her passport? It got me to thinking. Now that I have to have a passport (valid for 10 years if you are over 16, 3 [or is it 5?]if you are not), I want it to be stamped. In cool colors. We are going to 3 different countries and then back into the U.S. of A., shouldn't that mean I get 4 stamps? Do I get to pick the colors?

I want the US to be in purple because that is my favorite of the colors (if I have to pick, I like most of them, and it depends on what I am doing with the color-after all, I am not a Purple Panda, but I tend to pick purple flowers for my garden) and since I am a USA-ian I want my country represented by my favorite color (if I have to pick-see above). Plus, if you put red, white and blue together you get a nice light lavender, or perhaps periwinkle my favorite of the purple shades. Purple really is the color of freedom and unity then. Maybe we should petition Congress and make that change? Probably not an idea that the new Prez will sign on, but a girl can hope for a purple passport stamp!

Mexico is really bright and colorful and I love Mexican food and I would want it's stamp to be orange. It happens to be John and Ricky's favorite color (or it was last time I asked him, or are his favorites are as whimsical as mine?) and since of all the places we are visiting, Cozumel has the cuisine I am most anxious to taste (a big criteria for fun and enjoyment is the menu at any destination), I want it to be represented by things I love-so orange for me. A pretty sunset orange or terra cotta pot orange color would look smashing in my boring blue passport. There are inspirational/patriotic sayings printed on the top of each page, I wonder if I could pick the page I want my stamp to be stamped on? Maybe on a page that says something about immigration laws or cheap labor. Or a quote about berries-what is the line from that book? "The big hungry bear can smell a red, ripe strawberry from a mile away. . ." I wonder how far Cozumel is from the fields of So. Cal?

The Grand Caymans are the native habitat for the Blue Iguana, so I think blue would be a perfect stamp for my passport. It would be awesome if it was shaped like a lizard, but I doubt they would be that carefree with their international documentation. Although a green sea turtle would be cool too, as long as I don't have to eat it. It does NOT taste like chicken! A conch (pronounced "KONK") shell would be a cool stamp, but the soft coral color wouldn't hold up against the blue of the official passport page. And a conch (I don't care how you are supposed to say it, all I can think of is in Harry Potter when the poltergeist, Peeves, grabs someones nose and shouts "Got yer conk!" as he looks at them upside down and between his legs! I think I will feign ignorance and continue to call it a "conch") shell in any other color just wouldn't hold the same mystique, so I will just keep wishing for a blue stamp. (By the way, my friend says that conch tastes like scallops, which is a food of the sea, so its not for me!)

Jamaica is a hard word to spell. They don't have snow there, but they do have winter sports, which is confusing to this simple girl. AND they don't comb their hair-which I do not get. Bob Marley I am not. I might not like what my hair is doing, what color it is (or isn't), its length or stylishness, but I do know that you are supposed to comb it everyday otherwise your Mom will, and if she does it its gonna hurt like the dickens. I learned this at a very young age. Plus, if you wash it yourself you stand a better chance of not getting shampoo in your eyes, too. And never get your bangs cut before getting your picture taken or else. . .Well, you've all seen the family photos from the 70's and 80's! So, I would think that red is a good color for my Jamaican stamp-because sometimes my hair is red, my scalp is red if I have to work out a lot of knots and junk, my eyes are red if I get soap in them, and my face is red when I think of my 80's bangs. So there you go!

By the way, John already got his passport! It didn't take very long at all-we don't know if it was luck and timing, the fact he used to have one and it had expired, his federal employment, or the extra $20 he slipped the lady behind the counter-but it's done! And in plenty of time to forget where we put it, find it, forget again and find it just in time to fly to Miami in November. It came with an extra photo, some interesting information about passports and international travel, a wallet card to record important info on in case you lose your passport but not your wallet and the suggestion that a copy of your passport remain in the states with someone not going on the trip, just in case. . .He got his done in Farmington-they have open hours as opposed to the Post Offices in Ogden or Layton where you must make an appointment (one of only 5 in a week). We were a little apprehensive of them keeping his birth certificate, but it was promptly mailed back to us and put back in the firebox-THAT'S WHERE WE PUT HIS PASSPORT! I knew I knew where it was! Thank goodness!

Swimsuits Optional

I’ve gotten away with not swimming on lots of vacations so far. I didn’t even bring a swimsuit to Hawaii. I know, some of you gasp at the thought. It’s just me. I don’t think I can get away with it for much longer, especially on the cruise. Danny is old enough to notice that I’m not playing along. Cate won’t care, but Danny might. Every day he says, “Play wif me, Mama.” Ug. I can hear him now. “Swim wif me, Mama.” How can I say no to that little guy?

I might not have anything to worry about though, based on his performance last summer. He had a little freak-out when we tried to get him to go swimming in Aunt Judy’s pool. He’s fine with the cheap little kiddie pool in our backyard. He “swims” in the bathtub all the time. He was not fond of the big pool though. I understand where he’s coming from.

I’m not a fan of swimming. It’s not because I can’t swim. I’m pretty sure that if I was ever in a canoe and it hit a huge boulder and flipped over, I could swim calmly and safely to shore. (Girl Scout trip. Nineteen eighty-something. Except I didn’t actually swim safely to shore. I hoisted myself up on top of that huge boulder, waved my arms and screamed for help. I haven’t been in a canoe since.)

I’m not a fan of being in water filled with other people’s germs. Kramer said it best. Taking a bath is “sitting in a tepid pool of your own filth.” Swimming is worse. It’s not my filth that I’m worried about (I’m squeaky clean). It’s yours that concerns me. And his. And hers. And theirs. I don’t care how much chlorine is in that pool. I know there are still little molecules of Number One and Number Two floating around. And possibly some little bits of Number Three and Number Four as well. I shudder just thinking about it.

I’m not a fan of being in water filled with plant and animal germs either. Forget about the germs. I’m not a fan of being in water filled with the actual plants and animals themselves. So the ocean is out. Thankfully, that means the beach is out as well. No more sand wedging itself into the cracks of my toenails. No more saltwater stinging my eyes. Hopefully someone will step up and help my kids fulfill their seashell collecting duties. It’s not gonna be me.

I’m not a fan of the sun. Most of the time swimming and sun go hand in hand. If it weren’t for its life-sustaining qualities, I’d give up on the sun forever. Too hot. Too bright. It gives me a headache. I can’t wear sunglasses. I feel like everyone will think I’m just trying to look cool. I have a jillion freckles on my face thanks to the sun. I used to hate them. Now I just ignore them. Anyway, if I turn up missing some day, look for me in Juneau, Alaska. I’ve done my research. Juneau receives only 30% of the annual possible sunshine in the United States. Other cloudy cities are Quillayute, Washington; Elkins, West Virginia; Hilo, Hawaii; and Anchorage. Don’t waste your time looking for me in Hilo though.

I’m not a fan of the way my hair feels after being in the water. Usually it’s a tangled mess. Then it dries all skewampus. (I just looked that word up on the Wiktionary. It’s a blend of the words askew and cattywampus.) Never mind. I will already have a tangled mess on my head. My dreads. Problem solved.

I’m not a fan of the swimsuit. Actually, I have nothing against the swimsuit. It’s my body in the swimsuit that I abhor. The last time I wore a swimsuit without any protective gear was probably when I was 10 or 11 on a trip to Panama City Beach. (It was black with rainbow stripes across the chest. And it was strapless! Why I chose that suit and why my mom let me choose it, I’ll never know. I do know that it was no fun trying to keep it from falling off. Mother Nature did nothing to help me with that one.) When I say protective gear, I mean a t-shirt and/or shorts to protect you from gouging your eyes out at the sight of me. Or from being blinded by my milky white skin. Remember, I hate the sun. No tan.

I am a fan of those old-time swimsuits for the ladies. You know the ones. A nice little dress, with sleeves and leggings. Maybe even a cute little swimming cap too. What a dream. I’m waiting for those to be in fashion again.

All of this might just be a moot point when I think back on a few things Danny said this week. We went to check out the Lost and Found at our local pool a few days ago to see if Jarrett’s missing Mario toy had turned up. As we entered the pool area, Danny said, “Wow! Baf tub!” Yep. He thought the pool was a bathtub. I guess he doesn’t remember the swimming class he took there when he was 8 months old. I have to give him some credit though. It is inside and heated, just like his bathtub at home.

Then there’s the time he and I were taking a walk. He was wearing his snow pants and boots. He stopped and rubbed his hands up and down on his pants and said, “Swimming. Swimming.” Huh?

Time to head off to the community bathtub I guess. This little boy of mine needs to learn how to swim. Heck, he needs to learn what a swimming pool is.

Next cruise, I choose Alaska. Swimsuits optional. (Get your mind out of the gutter…it’s not that kind of cruise.)

Liberty Dreamin' on such a winter's day, ahhhh!

Okay folks, I don't know about you but I'm over winter and this cold and these are actual photo's of the Liberty of the pool and waterslide. Doesn't it look like heaven? I want to be doing this right now instead of freezing. Where is everyone here? It seems like me and Tony are the only bloggers on here. Come on people, let's blog and post pics. Oh well, even still, you can enjoy me and Tony's posts and pics. Hope everyone is staying warm and waiting for the warmth. I think now I'll shop for a swimsuit that will make me feel better.

Happy Cruisin' ;-Þ

Sincere Apologies

Okay, I admit my last post was a little over-the-top and I apologize to everyone for my deep love for my husband. Glad to know Kym was kidding with the room arrangements though, although we would have welcomed Talon in our room anytime or anyone over the age of 5. And, KYM< there won't be any surprises in MY suitcase but you might want to be careful of everyone elses as they are heavy packers. Anyways, thanks Kym for the joke, glad to know we all get to be with our spouses :-Þ

Happy Cruising!

Diane

Life of the Party

Ah c'mon you guys! You gotta be willing to live a little!
Suzy, you can sleep with John ANYTIME!!! And...I've been doing a little research! The beds all push together to form a KING size bed! John can now put his fears to bed! The beds should be plenty large enough for that tall, lanky form of his, PLUS with SMALL children to share with and they can conform to whatever area he is not using up so he should be plenty comfy! The kids can sleep through anything!

Cathy, I happen to know for a fact that a certain someone would be more than happy to play "mommy" to your kids so you can have a break. Although, I like the idea of Melissa getting them.
With how much Shaeshae loves kids, I'm more worried about HER making us grandparents than I am about Melissa doing it! ARGH

Diane...ummm....G rated honey! haha (as my daughter reads over my shoulder) I'm not POSITIVE but I think on these ships there are lots of dark corners on these boats.

OKAY OKAY all you people who can't take a joke.......
The real sleeping arrangements are as follows...
Rick and Gale
Vanessa and Makayla
Tim and Kym
John and Suzy
Kevin, Cindy, Billy, Ricky, Baby X
Tony and Diane
Dan, Cathy, Danny, Cate
Marilyn and Nancy
Stephanie, Melissa, and Shaelynn
Andrew, Skylar, Talon

However, on paper with the cruise lines, the first arrangement really ARE what they have. This is due to financial issues and the amounts they wanted us to put down. Has to do with quad rooms being different prices and the fact that they do not consider 18 to be a "legal adult" and there must be a legal adult in each room, etc. SO.... who was it in charge of luggage? We might have to figure out a way to retag our luggage so that it all goes to the correct rooms. I would hate for someone to open up someone else's luggage and find a "surprise" in there! DIANE!!!!

I apologize for freaking some of you out.
Of course, I wold NEVER put Grandma and Marilyn in with a bunch of little kids! They need to have their privacy for all the new boyfriends they will have on the cruise. MMMM...Hot chocolate! They DO have room service and DO NOT DISTURB signs! You go Grandma and Aunty Nancy!

Ahhhh, when Tim logs in here he might have a heart attack and then none of us will get to go on the cruise!

Happy Cruising!

I don't know about you, but. . .

As much fun as it would be to bunk with just my beloved nieces and/or nephews, I wouldn't mind bunking with my hubby. After (as of November, 2009) 13 years together, it is one thing that is a constant, we will both sleep better (an important element in any vacation) and ONLY I know how to make the noise stop in the middle of the night. If this can be arranged, all parties involved would appreciate it. Unlike someone else's blog, by-the-way T.M.I. and ewww- gross! I can assure you that having a third party join us would not be a problemo, especially if they are used to lots of snoring!

By the by, did you know that the Blue Iguana is indigenous to the Cayman Islands? And that the Caymans were named after the "caiman" an alligator-like animal that was eaten by Columbus and his com padres? Their meat was used to re-stock the ships on their travels, as well as feed the locals and they were considered so tasty they were hunted to extinction. Poor, poor caimans. The island is now known for its sea turtle population, also considered to be a tasty treat. I just don't think so.

Love Cathy's room assignments, count me in!

I love the 2nd set of room assignments by Cathy. I would love to **PARTY** with Kym with no boys around, woohoo!! Although let's all be real here, those of us who are married, and yes, we are all newlyweds if you are under the age of 80, are we really going to go without for a WHOLE week if we are in rooms without our spouses, I DON'T THINK SO! We would have to be sneaky and figure out times when our roomies wouldn't be popping in and even still who goes on a cruise and has a dry spell, isn't this what cruises are for, relaxing, swimming, dancing, laying out and lots of hmmm hmmm. Sorry, but there will be crankiness among some of us if this don't happen for a week.

Enough said, you get what I'm talking about and so let's just go with Kym's room assignments unless our roomies don't mind if our love pops in :Þ

Roomies: Plan B

Room 1: Dan and Cathy (Since when does 3 kids mean "man they need some rest"? I've been needing rest since kid #1! I had a few months this summer with both kids waking up in the middle of the night. Not good at all. Plus, newlywed schmulywed...you gotta have a better reason than that. We're all newlyweds at heart, right people?)

Room 2: Rick, Gale and Cate (They're not too weird for Cate. Plus, I like Gale's accent.)

Room 3: Vanessa and Makayla (They can stick together because I don't know them.)

Room 4: Tim, Talon and Tony (The T Room...they can eat toast, play Trouble and paint each other's toenails.)

Room 5: Marilyn, Ricky, Billy and Danny (Give Grandma a taste of the good old days with three little boys. Let's see how she fares this time around.)

Room 6: Cindy, Kennybobby and Melissa (There's a good possibility that baby is still going to need his mama in the middle of the night. Stick Melissa in there so she can have a good taste of what it's like to have a baby wake you up in the wee hours of the morning. Maybe that will help her to put off making Tim a grandpa for another 10 years or so.)

Room 7: Skyler, Stephanie, Suzy and Shaelynn (If you have The T Room you must have The S Room. The girls can paint Skyler's toenails.)

Room 8: Nancy (She needs privacy. Plus, she might meet some nice fellow on the dance floor and decide to bring him back to her room for hot cocoa.)

Room 9: Diane and Kym (They're the only 2 ladies left. Get in some good female bonding time.)

Room 10: Andrew, John and Kevin (This would be the quietest room. Andrew texting. John reading a book. Kevin doing something on the computer.)

On second thought, maybe I'll switch to Room 10. Sorry, Dan.

A Challenge for me and Challenge for you.

So I have some work to do now. My goal this week before we leave on Saturday, make a "TRIP JAR." What a great idea! I will get it done!

Cathy, dreads...let me know whats gonna work best. I have a feeling if I stopped washing these extensions, I bet I could have some really FINE looking dreads!

Tony, I am SO grateful you found a good price on media stuff. I dropped my IPHONE today and broke the screen on it. I have told Tim a million times that we can't buy me these expensive gadgets, I just break them or can't figure out how to work them. Now I can tell him where to replace it. Did you say WAL-MART? Cuz, ya know that's my favorite store! (As Timothy cringes).

Diane, I will challenge you to a dance off!

Okay, now for some exciting news!!!!
Remember the paragraph in which Tim says, "Don't complain about your rooms, don't expect champagne and chandeliers." He forgot about the part where you can't complain about your roommates. :) We thought it would be fun if everyone roomed with people not necessarily in their "Immediate family." This way some of the old married folks can have a little privacy and some of the kids can get to know their favorite aunts and uncles and so on and so forth....SO without further ado...

ROOM 1: Rick and Gale Padgett (I thought it might be a tad weird if I put them in with some of the Pendletons or Olds for roommates. Next trip though....!)
Room 2: Vanessa & Makayla Padgett (You will all be fighting over rooming with either of these two after the trip!)
room 3: Dan, Cathy, Danny, Cate (How can you split this cute family up?)
room 4: Tony,Diane, Skyler, Talon (Talon has a new best friend, I thought it best not to split them up!)
room 5: Tim and Kym (we get our own room cuz we are still newlyweds and all that!)
room 6: Kevin and Cindy (3 kids...man they need some rest...or something like that!;)
room 7: Marilyn and Melissa (this can be the Hawaii trip bonding experience that didn't get to happen this past summer!)
room 8: Nancy and Stephanie (Aunty Nancy needs someone to keep her calm)
room 9: John, Billy, Ricky, Andrew (The true boys night out room!)
room 10: Suzy, Baby X, Shaelynn (Only cuz Suzy and Shae love those babies!)

Hope you all enjoy getting to know everyone on a WHOLE new level!
Happy Cruising!

Boogie all nite long, thats what I'm gonna do

Okay, so last weekend Tony and I had fun watching some classic movies like " The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman ( very interesting to say the least) , "Starman" with Jeff Bridges, " Smokey and the Bandit" with of course Burt Reynolds and last but not least " Footloose" with dancin' boy Kevin Bacon. Yes, I know what you're thinking, did they do anything else? Well, no, not really we just layed on the couch and watched movies all weekend and it was FABULOUS!!

Anyways, when we were watching "Footloose", Andrew was laughing so hard at the dancing in that and I just couldn't sit still any longer and I broke out in my "moves" and danced along. Sounds gay, I know but it had to be done to show my older son how dancing is done. Well, I teased him and said to watch out for me in the disco on the ship cause he might just get to see some of these famous dance moves of mine at the disco. This will be the only time I can boogie it up and not care what other people think cause I will never see them again. So watch out, Diane is going to be on the loose and free as a bird.

Disco Diane :P

Totally Dreading this Cruise

I am. I think it is appropriate and somewhat necessary in order to fulfill my assignment as expert on all things Jamaican.

So here's my first step: Get the dreadlocks started.

Hooray! A reason to neglect my hair for a while. I am not a big fan of my hair. It frustrates me daily. So I'm giving dreads a try. My first instinct was to just do nothing to my hair (maybe wash it once in a while) and let the dreads just come on their own. That seemed like the easiest route to take. After doing some research online, I discovered that this method actually has a name. It's called the Neglect method. It can take up to a year to establish the dreadlocks and they may not even look like dreadlocks during that time. I want dreadlocks, not bedhead for a year.

On to Plan B.

Backcombing. Sounds easy.

Or I could try Twist and Rip, Twist and Pin, Twisting, Dread Braiding, or Brush Rubbing.

So many choices. Twist and Rip sounds painful. I don't want to have to buy pins so Twist and Pin is out. Twisting sounds like it might be easier than Backcombing. I'm pretty sure Dread Braiding involves professional help and I'm not sure I can find a salon that specializes in dreadlocks in Utah County. Maybe if I tried. That would be work though and I'm just looking for easy at this point. Brush Rubbing sounds like I'll need to buy a special brush. I'm not down with that either.

So Backcombing it is. I know. Twisting sounded easy too but I thought I'd give Backcombing a try since it's first when you put them all in alphabetical order.

All I need is residue-free shampoo (since the best way to ruin your dreads is not washing them), a metal comb and some rubber bands. I think I might be able to find all that stuff around the house. Well, maybe not a metal comb. I do have a few cat brushes that are metal.

If I like the results I might just invest in some DreadHead wax for maintenance. If I'm not happy (and I can't imagine that happening) then I have several options for getting rid of the dreaded dreads.

Shave my head bald. Again, this sounds like the easiest way to go. I choose this one.

Cut the dreads to about 3 inches. Then soak them in VO5 conditioner and comb them out. That sounds like a lot of work and pain. Plus, do they even still make VO5 conditioner?

Soak my whole head in VO5 conditioner and comb it out. My research stated that this could take several hours. Work, pain and time. Probably not going to happen. Plus, I hate my hair. Why waste time on it?

I was a little worried at first about how I might look with dreadlocks. I found out on www.howtodread.com that dreadlocks look very nice on Caucasians. Good to know. I'm sold. The best part about all of this is that if I have any questions the internet can't answer for me, all I have to do is call my big sister. She used to have dreads. I once asked her why. She said she got tired of brushing her hair.

That's a good enough reason as any. I can't wait to feel the ocean breeze flowing through my gorgeous dreads.

Not dreadful at all. Thanks Uncle Bim and Aunt Bim.

My first step?

Tony asked what our first steps are for this vacation. Mine is unique to my situation . . . my first step is to get un-pregnant! I don't think a jar with a marker label on my fridge will help with that! In order to see the things I'd like to see and do the things I'd like to do on vacation, I have to be mobile. So, in about 5 weeks, I'll take my first step. Then I can start thinking about the things that could be done to make it a fabulous trip!

I'm so excited!! Thank you Tim and Kym!!

I too want to thank Tim and Kym for this wonderful opportunity to be with the family again and have fun on a cruise. I promise I will try not to blog too much as to bore everyone with all of my ( already) reading that I have been doing on places to go on excursions, and things to see. I might bore myself if I keep reading and researching too much too soon. Anyways, I do want to pass along the BEST cruise site I have been to so far. They have everything you could want to know about a cruise, about our ship, the excursions, EVERYTHING. Check out www.cruisecritic.com

I for sure will post more later. Love you guys ;-)
This trip is going to be a "bashment"! (Some Jamaican I've learned, oh yeah! )

Diane

Welcome to the blog!

Congrats, you found the cruise blog! Let me be the first to thank Tim and Kym for your generosity in giving us the chance to go on this cruise.

Have fun posting and let me know if you have any problems!
