I've looked forward to your posts as well :)  DH was just saying we should meet up on the ship.  Our girls are the same age and could hang out!

Cool -- a small, but enthusiastic (not to mention international) mutual admiration society.

Getting together sounds like a great idea. Maybe we could share a bottle of something (or considering the kids bottles of somethings) and drink a toast to the adventure as we set sail. If the girls hit it off too, all the better. Thoughts?

 Sounds like a great plan to me :)  We get in late on the 8th, i'm not sure what time we'll get to the ship on Saturday, still ironing out the details.  Mike said we're also on Deck 2 (I was incorrect,shame on me!)  We're figuring out where to stay and shuttles at the moment.  We're flying into Ft Lauderdale because it was cheaper and taking a shuttle to Miami.

Coincidentally we're flying into Fort Lauderdale on the 8th as well (from Minneapolis -- something like an 10 hr trip from here if you include the flight transfer). Must be a cost effective option.

Already looking forward to getting together. 

 Oh my goodness thats too funny!  We're getting in at 8:20pm.

Have you had any luck booking the Stingray Experience thing? Can't book online for some reason. In fact none of the Half Moon Cay excursions / rentals seem to work.

 We haven't booked anything, waiting til we get onboard.  Hopefully that one will still be available!  

Sorry got busy with school and forgot to check the boards!

 Looks like tha'ts what we will be doing as well. 8 Weeks away -- woo hoo.

 DH updates his FB all the time with my countdown.  He says he really needs a vacation!  I'm going back to school right now so i'm just trying to get through this semester (4 more weeks) THEN i'll be excited!

Good luck with school -- papers, exams, etc. And then party time.
