Magic Kingdom....

We were up at 6am. we took showers and headed to Magic Kingdom for an early breakfast. We were able to get in before the park opened. We took some pictures in front of the castle and headed to Be Our Guest to have breakfast. After ordering, we asked if there were any tables in the Beast room. We have not eating it that room and it is the smallest room. We were in luck and found a table. After breakfast, we headed to walk around before our first fast pass. It was another hot day and this time, no clouds. I think it got to 91 degrees and humidity was 90% most of the day. We did the rides were set up and then road the train around the park twice, before out last ride. It was covered out of the sun and had a little breeze. We headed back to the room around 5pm. We took showers and got ready for dinner in our lodge. I did a couple loads of laundry and we are now watching the weather to see where and when the hurricane will hit. That will determine a lot when we head home.

Food and wine day 2...

We were up around 8am. It was raining cats and dogs out, so we decided to go to Disney Springs. So we hopped on the bus and headed downtown. We did some shopping and were very disappointed in the selection this year. We stopped at Earl of Sandwich and had lunch. They have the best sandwiches and a great price. We hopped back on the bus and came back to the room. It has rained on and off all day long with mostly on. We decided to go back to EPCOT to finish un the countries we needed on the food and wine tour. We hit South Korea for a roasted pork lettuce wrap, then on to China for chicken pot stickers. Beth got a guava margarita in Mexico and at Australia we got the yellow cake dipped in chocolate with coconut. Patagonia presented us with Beef empanada and grilled beef skewer. I am not sure what the Farm Fresh stand was, but they had great loaded mac & cheese with bacon. We got a cream soda float with caramel ice cream at the Desserts and Champagne stand and the last stand of the night was Refreshment Port, which had croissant doughnut with cinnamon sugar and fried chicken chunks with a pineapple sweet and sour sauce. I did not care for the sauce at this stand, so I just ate the chicken. It was a great trip eating around the different countries and most of the food was really good. There were several stands we did not eat at, as we could not find anything we liked. On top of all the food, they have several different beers, but Beth was not interested in any of them. On top of all the rain, it was hot and muggy again. It is sad when the humid is higher than the temperature and the temperature is 88 degrees. Off to Magic Kingdom tomorrow.

Eating around the world...

we were up around 8am this morning. Beth was feeling better and the meds seems to be working. We had reservations at O'hana at 10:40am. After breakfast, we headed to EPCOT. We had fast passes for Soar 'in, Figment, and Nemo. We then headed back to the World showcase for the food and wine festival. We took the boat back and started at Germany. We had apple strudel and the pasta gratin with ham and cheese. Next it was on to Poland for Kielbasa and pierogi. On to Italy for cheese ravioli and Beth had a wine. The had the Eat to the Beat concert and tonight featured Wilson Phillips, so we got in line. It was a good concert and started to rain half way and boy did it feel good. It had been so hot and humid the last 2 day, rain was a welcome fell for a short period of time. We then stopped at the Americans and had Beef slider with pimento cheese and also a carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Everything up until now has been great food, but then we went to Japan. We got a steamed bun with chicken, vegetables,, and teriyaki sauce. One bite and it was done. YUCK....  The next stop was Belgium for waffles with chocolate for Beth and berry compost for me. The last stop of the night was France for short rib meat and mashed potatoes. It was time to head back to the room as we were both tired and smelly. The food and wine is a great chance to try several different types for food for a small fee. most thing are around 4 or 5 buck and we generally share, unless we know we want our own. So tomorrow it is back to EPCOT for the other half of the food and wine festival.

Disneyworld day 2...

I still have to download the pictures from our last day at sea and hope to do that later. We made it to Disneyworld yesterday around 9am. Our room was not ready, so we stored our luggage with the bell hop and headed to Hollywood studio. We headed back to the room around 4pm as we were both pretty tired. We got the luggage unpacked and everything in it's place by 8pm. We were both in bed by 9am. Beth work up this morning not feeling well at all. So we went to the CVS to there walk in clinic. We had to wait a bit, but it was not too bad. The doctor found Beth had a double ear infection, a sinus infection, and a wheezing in her chest. She gave her 4 prescriptions and told her to rest and no swimming for 10 days. So we picked up a few more things and headed back to the room. Beth went to bed and I headed to Magic Kingdom to see if we could cancel our Halloween party tickets. I was able to cancel them and headed back to the room. I stopped and picked some lunch. I was able to watch a little of the football game and took a nap. Beth got up and I got her lunch. She said she felt a little better, so we will see how tomorrow goes.

Castaway Cay

We were up around 7:30am. We watched them upload the food and other off the ship and then headed for breakfast. It looked like it was going to rain, so we took our time going ashore. We picked up some fins and snorkel vest. We headed out to the snorkel area and only got about 50 feet out, when they called everyone back, as there was lighting. So we went to the lunch area and ate lunch while the rain blew over. We were allowed back in the water and took advantage of it. We snorkeled for about 3 hours and headed back in. It sprinkled a little, but who cared. We took showers and got something to drink and a couple slices of pizza. We went to dinner and then went to get our photos. We got the digital pack and will pick them when we get home. We are mostly packed and will finish tomorrow morning. We are leaving the ship at 7:15am and headed to Disney world.

2nd day at sea

We finally got to sleep in and slept until after 9:30am. We took showers and since it was almost time for lunch, we skipped breakfast and went to look at our pictures the ship had taken. We then spent the rest of the day relaxing, watching movies, and even did a little packing. We had dinner at the Palo, which is the ships fancy dinning area. Beth had a 8oz filet and I had beef raviolis. They were both really good and we are stuffed. We then went to the show and came back to cabin for bedtime. Tomorrow we are at Disney private and hope to snorkel all day.

Falmouth, Jamaica

We were up at 6am and got dressed. We went and got some breakfast before coming back to the room to get dressed in swimming suits. We boarded the buses around 8am. The people that built this bus built them for little people. Beth and I got pulled from our original line and boarded a bus with only 2 seats left. So she sat in the back and I had to get the seat with no leg room what so ever. We had an hour drive to the Dunn River falls. It was a river with giant rocks and the fresh water running down it. Ok it is a major attraction and then you get to climb up it for 600 feet up the river over all the rocks. Seemed like fun. They said the fist 10 minutes was the hardest. They lied, it was all-hard. It was cold and refreshing, but you sweated all the way up to the top. I know I fell a couple times and Beth fell once or twice also. It was fun, but we do not have to do it again and we got a video to prove it. Can’t wait to see that one. We then boarded the bus for a short trip to Dolphin cove. It had a dolphin show and up close with a dolphin, if you paid a price for it. We did not, so we watched to the side. Then it was a short walk to a parrot picture tacking spot and then to see some love birds. Next it was finally time for lunch. We had jerk chicken, burgers, hotdogs and some pasta. I would have to say this part of the excursion was a big bust. So it was back on the bus for the hour ride home. I did find a little more leg room this time. We did a little shopping and boarded the bus for much needed showers. Tonight is pirate night with fireworks at 10pm. Tomorrow is a day at sea and sleeping late.

Grand Cayman

We got up around 8:30am. We took showers and went to get breakfast. We did not have an excursion until 1:15pm. We took a walk around the ship and decided to get off around noon. We talked to several people waiting for the same excursion as us and were finally able to board the tour bus. It was a short 30-minute drive to our first stop, which was Hell. It is a large formation of limestone that resembles, well Hell. They say that it was under water at one time and this is the remains of water was under the sea for years and years. We then headed to the sea turtle farm. That was very fun and educational. We got to hold a turtle and have our pictures taken with them. Beth them fed some of the bigger turtles. We left there and headed back to the dock. We headed to dinner and the other couple at our table was not there, so it was just the two of us. We were able to get out by 7pm. We got in line for tinker bell and then headed to the theater for the show Whishes. After the show, we jumped in line to see Chip and Dale. We made it to bed by 10:30pm and will be up at 6am tomorrow.

 

Cozumel Mexico

We were up around 6:30am. We had breakfast and went to the D lounge to wait for our tour to leave. We walked down the street and were put into a group of 4 people. Beth drove the dune buggy first. It was about a 20-minute ride to the beach. We were given instruction on using the snorkel equipment and headed into the water. We saw a baby stingray, parrotfish, angle fish, and several other kinds. We were there about 50 minutes and then headed back to our buggy. The tour guide said he had an extra buggy if we wanted to get our own, so we did. We took a 50-minute drive up the coast and the shoreline was beautiful. We stopped for a buffet lunch of steak and chicken fajita, bean and rice, nachos, and a couple other things. It was a really great lunch. We were able to get in the water for about 20 minutes, but it was nice to cool off. A big storm seemed to roll in fast, so we got in the buggy and headed to our next place. We some Mayan things, a women grounding coco beans, and a tequila factory. We got back in the buggy and headed back to the starting point, except it was right through the middle of town. We took a shower when we got back and rested for a bit before getting dressed for dinner. It was Halloween night and we got dressed in out costumes. After dinner, we went to the lobby for the Halloween party. We did trick or treating and got a half bag of candy. It was so fun. We are having the character sign as picture board for our honeymoon pictures so we stood in line to get 5 characters to sign. We finally made it back to the cabin around 11:30pm. We have a short excursion day tomorrow, but will be glad to go to bed.

1st day at sea

We got up around 8:45am. We took showers and went and had breakfast. We then went shopping and came back to the room. Beth went and did the Mid ship detective game and I went and read my book. We meet for lunch and then had a coke float. We came back to the room and watched some football until dinner. It was formal night, but we are not formal people. We took several formal pictures after dinner and then came back to the room. We wanted to get some rest as tomorrow we are at Cozumel Mexico. Tomorrow is also Halloween and should be a great time. The pictures are of the elevator floor with the Mickey and the kissing doves we got for our honeymoon.

We got up around 6:30am and took showers. We had breakfast in with Donald and Goofy. It was a nice start to the honeymoon. We finished packing and headed to the cruise terminal. We got checked in and headed onto the ship. We went and had some lunch and took our stuff to our room. We had the lifeboat drill and were on our way around 4:30pm. We got our luggage and decided to go ahead and unpack as there were several things we wanted to do after dinner. We had dinner with one other couple and they were from New Jersey and the other couple was a no show. We then went to the lobby to hear the story of the pumpkin tree. The ship is all decked out in Halloween and we will have trick –or- treating one night. We then went to the Welcome aboard show. We finished the night with a special showing of the Nightmare before Christmas and had our pictures taken with Jack and Sally. We finally made it back to the room around midnight and were so ready for bed. Tomorrow is a day a sea, so we get to sleep late.

We came home and then Kyle and I went to Lowe's to get him his own key and to my bank to close out my accounts. Beth and I did some cleaning and packing the rest of the day. Buster went to the groomers and we went to dinner. So it is off to bed as we want to be up by 6am tomorrow. It will make getting up at 3:30am the follow more easier.

Great Day of football...

Beth was up and at church by 8am. I slept until 10am as I did not go to bed until 1;30am. We spent the rest of the day watching football. We are in a pool with Dawn and have to pick winning teams, but can only pick them once. All three of team we choose won s we are doing good so far.

Football day...

It was another rainy day all day long. I spent most of the day in the scrapbook room installing window 10 on the computer down there. College football was on all day, so I spent the day watching that. Beth worked on the Thank you card and they will be mailed out on Monday.

Up early....

I got up around 6am. I brushed my teeth and headed to Dawn's. She had to go in early as she had an appointment after work. I got Rylee up and she got dressed. I did her hair and she had some milk. I left to take her to school and waited until the bus left. I came home and Beth was up. We had some breakfast and then took showers. Beth left and went to Jeff's house. When she came home we went to Best Buy. I wanted to see why the laptop was using so much space. It was just what was needed , so no big deal. We had some lunch and came home. We picked up Rylee around 5pm and Dawn got here around 5:30pm. We had dinner and then went to see another house. I am so ready for bead as it has been a long day.

Rainy day....

We were up around 9am this morning. It was dark and gloomy out and had rained a little. We took showers and had breakfast. I started cleaning the kitchen and the mud room. I took the Florida stuff out of the cedar closet and put the wedding stuff in it. I will put some of the wedding stuff on the yard sale site when we get home. The rain started and came down hard. Dawn and Rylee came for dinner. we had sloppy joes and fries. Now it is time to relax and enjoy the start of the regular season.

Windows 10

I spent a part of last night installing windows 10 on my machine. It took some getting used to but I now love it. I then had to spend the rest of the day updating a few files and getting used to where things are. Beth had to go me Charlie and take him to the wholesale club.   I did laundry and played with the computer most of the day. Beth played with her new laptop and got everything installed. I worked on my Christmas list and will have it completed by the end of the week. We are so excited for the football season to kick off tomorrow night.

Busy Busy Busy...

Beth was up before me and I got up around 8:15am. We took showers and headed out around 9:30am. We had to go get gas and take it to Charles as he ran out on the side of the road. We then went to the jewelry store to sell some stuff Beth had. She wanted to get a new laptop and was able to get enough for it. We then came home and Beth had a hair appointment.  We had some lunch before leaving to go to the Best Buy in KOP. They had the printer I wanted, but not the computer Beth wanted. We were able to pay for everything there and then picked up the laptop in the Pottstown store. And before you ask why did we not go there in the first place, they did not have the printer I wanted. We came home for awhile and then met Eileen for dinner. It was a busy busy busy day of running.

Starting to pack...

We were up around 8:30am. We had some breakfast and got dressed. I had some weeds to pull in the flower beds and out front. Beth was finally able to get the grass cut. We came in and had lunch and took showers. we then went to Target, AC Moore, and Best Buy. The printer that I use to print all my scrapbook pictures is not supported by the new computer. So it looks like we will have to buy a new one, so scrapbooking in on hold for awhile. I started packing for the honeymoon and will continue on the next week or so.

Not much...

Beth was up and at church by 8am. I how ever did not get out of bed until after 9am. Beth got us breakfast and we read the paper. Dawn and Rylee came down to swim around 2pm. I did go to Michael's to get transfer paper, but did very little the rest of the day. It was kinda nice. Mom, did you read the text message I sent you???

We visited for awhile and came home around 1pm. We had some lunch and I went downstairs to watch football and do some stuff in the scrapbook room. Dawn and Rylee came down around 5pm. We had some dinner and then swam for a bit. We used to fire pit afterwards as it was a little chilly.

Cleaning...

I got up around 8:30am. Dawn stopped by around 9am. Best's brother came by to get the old car. He is putting in a show on the week-end in hopes of selling it. They had problems with it starting and worked on it all morning. Dawn and I left to go to the Halloween store to get Rylee's costume. We then went to target and tot eh beer store. We came home and they finally had the car running. They had to blow out the fuel lines, what a mess in the driveway. Gas and asphalt do not mix well. Have some patching to do.

We left around 5:30pm to go meet Joan, Eileen, Dawn, and Rylee at the local Italian place on the corner. We had a great time. Dawn and Rylee came back for a swim and left around 8:30pm.

Dawn's house...

I got up around 8:30am. I came to play on the computer for awhile, but Buster got up and wanted out. I let him out and Dawn was on the deck. Beth got up and we all went to the deck. We ended up going swimming around 11am. I fixed lunch and then took a shower, Dawn got an offer on her house and was talking to her realtor about it. I had to go see Dr. Bill and get my back worked on again. It is getting close to being normal again and so glad the feeling in my big toe is back. Dawn picked up Rylee from daycare and them came for dinner. She had worked out a good deal for her and the realtor was coming over to sign paper after dinner. Beth, Rylee, and I got back in the pool after dinner until the thunder and lighting came. We them went downstairs to watch a movie until all the paperwork was done. So it looks like we might be having roommates for awhile.

Car back...

I had to get up at 6:30am this morning as Jo was dropped off Rylee at 7am. After Jo left, I got Rylee ready for school and we left around 7:40am. She was a little shy when I dropped her off, so I stayed. I was able to see here board the bus and waved as she left for school. I came home and had breakfast with Beth. Beth's car was ready to pick up, so we left to go get it. We stopped at BJ's wholesale club on the way back. I went to Michael's and Beth came home.

New car....

We were up and on the road by 8:45am. I dropped off my truck to get the new frames installed. They gave me a loaner car for the week and it is a bran new Camry. It only had 11 miles on it and still had the new car smell. We then went to the bank and the post office. We came home and I went downstairs to work on a project. I was then all day. Dawn came over around 5:30pm and we went out to dinner. Beth's car should be ready tomorrow. It just needed a new coolant hose. It was 95 degrees today and will be that way the next 3 days.
