OK, Leni.....Darlie & I just faxed the form to Wanda. Darlie put her foot down and demanded that veranda thingie!
When she put both her hands on her hips, I knew I was doomed, so I pulled a "Frenchie" and surrendered without a fight.
To: Seeking the truth
Yo, STT!
We read your memorandah
To reserve a verandah
You were wise to surrender
And not to offend her
Because we are sure she'd have banned yah!
Welcome aboard, Gene and Darlie!

Wow, Lodwick, great photo. Our freeper cruisers will enjoy a "FReeper Beach Party" on the world-famous tropical strand of Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman Island.
Folks, fill out the registration form on the link and get in in. Or pick up the phone and call the agency (toll free number on the form). You can take care of your deposit by credit card. Our reserved cabin block is limited.
Think sandy beach, sunny skies, warm, azure waters and great fun with fellow freepers!

Wow, we're going to have quite the group on 8a!
Georgetown has outstanding duty-free shopping.
Mrs.L found a dozen Waterford champagne
flutes for $18 a stem.At that price, who cares if they were being discontinued?

The Cayman Islands government does not impose import duties upon all items brought to the island. Therefore, it is possible to obtain many luxury items at a lower cost in the Cayman Islands than in the United States. Cayman Islands merchants pass these savings onto their customers at saving often far greater than found in other Caribbean duty free ports and airport locations. The best deals are found in jewellery, perfume, china, crystal, leather goods, even coffee. In some cases, these sought-after items can sell for as much as 50% below the retail cost in the United States.
Each person on the cruise can return with up to $400 of duty-free goodies. (I have heard of people having stuff shipped directly to their homes - shocking I tell ya.)

Hey Florida Freepers!
It doesn't get any better than this - a cruise departing from Miami!
That means no airfare for most of Florida Freepers.
Hey Leni, is there one of those buses picking up all over Florida like Royal Carribbean?

Ahoy, y'all Florida Freepers.....check this out!

Here's the last batch to ping.
To: Seeking the truth; Utah Girl; yall
There is a real unique phenomenon, called Stingray City, where it is possible to swim with and observe large and tame stingrays in only 2-3 metres of water. Their mouths are beneath their head and the rays, a metre and a half across, swim into your arms to be fed. They've got no teeth, but they generate more sucking power than a vacuum cleaner. You can play with them leading them around. All you need is to keep a piece of squid in your fist and they come to you. It was fun to feed and lead the rays,but kind of shocking when other rays would brush my legs from behind.In spite of that I even caught one of them and held it in my arms, encouraged by the captain from our boat.

Thanks, Gene, for the pings.
Attention, Florida Freepers!
The information on cruise bus transportation for Florida freepers is posted on reply #92 on the Bahama Mama Q & A thread. It'll be a snap to get to the port! The link to Bahama Mama is near the top of this thread.
Looking forward to seeing a mammoth contingent of the Florida gang on board for another exciting event in the historic annals of Freeperdom!

Great pics, Lodwick! Animation, already yet!
How can anyone resist those calm azure and turquoise waters?
Don't know about the sting rays, though! My style tends more to shrimp cocktails.

You may be onto something there...
To: MinuteGal
Yaaay. I just got my cruise confirmation. I just cannot wait. Imagine, a veranda with an ocean view.
