    Re: Halloween Saturday Chat - 10-31-09

    Sue ~  Don't worry about your laptop being "safe".  Just put it in one of the closets or a drawer when you are out of your cabin and you should be fine.  I have left a very pricey, high end camera sitting around the cabin and still have that camera.

    Sue:

    So I have decided after much debate to take my laptop with me.  For those that have before, how safe is it in the cabin?  Its not small enough to lock in the safe.  That is truly my only worry.

    We have also left expensive item sitting out in the open and never had a problem.  It might be wiser to put it in  the bottom of the closet or a drawer.  It is still only 50 degrees outside.  My dh finally decided to turn on the heat.  It does feel good.  Got to go.

    Good morning Scoutsaj.  At least the winds are stirring up the prettiest sand in the country.  Michigan and Indiana have the most beautiful fine sugar sand in the country.  Our yearbook was called the "singing sands."  I have been in most of the other states and have yet to see anything that compares.

    We used to leave expensive items out in the open also. However, when the stewards are cleaning your cabin, the cabin door is open. Should the steward be in the storeroom looking for supplies or in your bathroom cleaning it, a dishonest person could easily slip into your cabin and out with your valuables in a matter of seconds, if they are readily visible from the hallway. Please remember, the steward is there to maintain your cabin in perfect condition, not to monitor your valuables.

    We love you Kalyn Padget and Rosie Unsworth (our lovely adopted daughters), Amy Barton, Melanie Therrien, TJ, and Rick! The Fun Crew puts the fun in Carnival Cruising! Thank you Butch for being a fantastic CD!

    I've only been off the Holiday for a short time, and I'm already having fits of melancholy. I guess unless we can cruise every two months, I'll probably never be satisfied again.

    Our 7 YO and 6 YO grandsons decided that they would prefer a Thanksgiving Cruise to Key West and Cozumel on the Destiny to Thanksgiving in Orlando/Kissimmee this November. We must be teaching them well. Thanks for an excuse for my booking another cruise, guys!

    Thanks for the Bon Voyage Rufaeldawg! Same to you! Take a few pics of the awesome pinkness of the Splendor to share please.

    Diane has bought me nice sport coats at Burlington Coat Factory for $40 or less. You just have to know where to shop.

    Keep the Splendor in nice shape for our Splendor for the Pride swap, please! I'm taking good care of the Pride model for you in preparation for our big trade. Notice how lovely she looks in the photo.

    Have fun on the Splendor.  She is a beautiful ship.  I pick up a nice formal at a high end consignment shop.  Lots of formal wear that has been worn once.  Probably on a cruise.    Good morning Smitty and every one else.  We are fogged in this morning.  Cold at 50 right now.    Think I'll go and check eBay.

    Aloha Pua,  Did you finish up on the packing?  Wish I lived closer I would have come and helped but 8 hrs is a long drive.  Try to get a little rest on your cruise.  Don't try to do everything like I did.  But then you're young.  Just have fun,fun,fun!
