Morning, It is still morning here in sunny California. I am getting pretty psyched about the upcoming Cayamo cruise. I am going to Playa Del Carmen for a week first, then flying to Miami for Sat and Sun, then cruise on Mon. My youngest, Arielle, 21, is coming with me. I decided to stay at the Marco Polo Beach Resort in Miami because I just want to walk on the beach, and have a balcony that looks out over the water, not stay at a big hotel where I have to dress formally etc. I might taxi over to the Precruise party stuff in the evening tho to meet up with you.They said we could attend even if we don't stay there. I am wondering who is still planning on coming as I have heard little to no chat about this for months. Isn't anyone starting to think about this? I have been reading internet stuff about cruising, just trying to know what to expect. The Cayamo chat site said somewhere that the performers sing twice, which is nowhere near enough, right? I need to see all of Patty's performances, don't care a whit about dinner those nights. I would skip it if somehow I could get in to Patty's early and late show. I don't expect anyone from this list to trade tickets tho!:) Shawn Colvin, also. I am not very familiar with Brandi Carlisle or Shawn Mullins but am looking forward to seeing them perform. Of course, I love Emmy Lou altho I have only a couple of albums so don't know her music that well. Never saw Lyle before. I probably will enjoy seeing him as well. I have not signed up yet for excursions. I probably will do so at each stop. I have heard that sometimes the ship has to cancel stops due to weather, high seas etc. I went to Cozumel in Dec- would like to wander around the shopping area altho don't plan on buying much to lug home on the plane. I went to a beach there that was nice, it was like a little day resort, with rest rooms, restaurant, beach umbrellas, pool, etc. I would love to go snorkelling again, maybe a catamaran excursion would be good. I hope to be able to hook up with MMers on the ship to hang around with, meals and all, if I can find you. I checked out the Cayamo site, and read just about eveyone's posts, but did not recognize any old buds from here, so I am checking in. Don???Jim???Dave???Jen??? Hope to see a few of you soon! Safe travel! Dana in Antioch, soon to be Mexican again!!!:) **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 11:59:43 -0800 From: "Bruce Greenberg" Subject: MM: RE: cruising anyone? Well, I'm not one of the chattier ones on this list, but I'll be going with my wife and a couple of friends from Austin (I'm in windy and sunny California). Not sure how the whole concert ticket thing is going to work, but I don't care. There are so many good artists to see, I will get my fill. I'm hoping my camera gets in too. Plan to video as much as possible. I saw Brandi a few years ago and she was excellent. I understand she is even better now (especially if she brings the band). Shawn of course is great as is Emmylou. I saw Lyle in Austin last year and his show was very short. But he is so much fun and the band is so good. We are flying in on Saturday and staying at the Marriott.
