Passport / Birth Certificate Precautions

Thanks Jordan for asking me about this yesterday!

Jordan asked me yesterday if I was going to make a copy of my passport to carry with me just in case I lost mine.  I have never really done that up until Lucas recently traveled to Europe.  It was suggested for him to take a picture of his passport on his phone.  That way if he lost the passport he would still have a picture of it to show to any necessary people to get it replaced in a timely fashion.

So, if you want to do that, feel free.  Of course you could still lose a physical copy or your phone, but if that added 'insurance' makes you feel more comfortable, then go for it!!

See ya!

Weekend in Florida before cruise

I know we are all arriving at various times in Florida.  I have been so focused on the cruise that I kind of forgot that this is also July 4th weekend.  I did a quick search and here is a link with some activities for this weekend happening near/around Cocoa Beach for anyone that is interested.

Enjoy!

Weather

Good morning everyone...

I checked weather.com this morning and here is the weather I see for the days we are in particular ports:

Sunday 7/5 Port Canaveral 88 degrees, partly cloudy, 20% chance of rain

Monday at sea

Tuesday 7/7 Labadee, Haiti 92 degrees, mostly sunny, 20% chance of rain

Wednesday 7/8 Falmouth, Jamaica 89 degrees, mostly sunny, 20% chance of rain

Thursday 7/9 Georgetown, Grand Cayman 87 degrees, scattered thunderstorms, 60% chance of rain

Friday 7/10 Cozumel, Mexico 86 degrees, scattered thunderstorms, 50% chance of rain

Saturday 7/11 at sea

Sunday 7/12 Port Canaveral 90 degrees, scattered thunderstorms, 50% chance of rain

Most of the time for sea days they try to "sail around" the weather to the best of their ability.  All I can say is ...  We look like we will have a few rainy days possibly.  I am not too concerned as this is still early to be getting the forecast for all of next week.  So I am going in to things with good thoughts and positive weather vibes.  And after all...  A day at sea is better than any day in the office.  :-)

Bye for now!

My favorite kind of dance...

Single digit dancing may now start!!!!  I am so excited!  9 days until 7/5 when we board our ship.

Yay!

Do you know what today is????

today we are officially less than 20 days until we board the ship!!!  I am eating lunch with Q today and we both started talking about the cruise and so I checked !  I cannot believe we are so close now! Some of you have started packing already!  Yay!  Who else is excited ?!?!

For those of you that have not yet, go ahead and start printing off your boarding documents!!!

If you're ready for the cruise and you know it, clap your hands...

ok...  Admit it.  How many of you just clapped?  I did!

I think Miss Brittany is ready because she texted me yesterday while getting her tan on and obviously dreaming of cool waves and sandy beaches and was taking charge and setting a date for our final get together before we leave.  I thought this was great!

She suggested we get together on June 28th (the Sunday before we leave) and she volunteered her grandparents house.  Graciously they said they would host.  What time do you all think would be good?  Should we do late afternoon?  Like maybe around 4:30/5:00?  Or is that too early?

How about we go simple with sandwich trays (chicken salad, ham and turkey) that I can make and bring.  Then everyone else could bring side dishes like slaw, potato salad, beans, salad, chips, drinks or whatever.  Memaw also suggested to Brittany for me to bring my ice cream making machine and we could make some homemade ice cream.  So if anyone wants to bring toppings that would be great too!

Thoughts?

Who's hungry?

Good afternoon everyone!

I just thought I would look up a few restaurants near Port Canaveral for anyone coming down a few days prior to our cruise.  Here are some restaurants in the area that are recommended:

Seafood:
Www.fishlipswaterfront.com
Www.grillsseafood.com
Www.seafoodatlantic.net

Pizza:
Www.kelseys.com
Www.cazonispizza.com

Ethnic:
Www.rubioscubancafe.com
Www.izzysbistroflorida.com

Those are a few places I have seen mentioned online as good choices.  The hubby and I like to eat seafood while in Florida but are open to anything really.

Thanks all!
