are you heading down to the Caribbean this January?
Barely :disturbed: It's like the last day or so of January, then it stretches into Feb. Our son had decided to take his family on a shorter cruise out of New Orleans, because that fit their schedule. Then the kids thought it would really be cool if their Grandparents could go. So..... we are going with them this time.
Ah we'll miss you then...taking a mid Jan jaunt down to Jaime's motherland.......compliments of a very generous offspring....
Well????????????? are you down in winter wonderland yet?
You know, I was in Nawlins a year ago this month. The lows were in the teens and the fountain in front of the hotel froze solid. Hope it's better for you this year, Frazz...
Truth be known, I like Baton Rouge better!
leaving tomorrow morning.... What I am leaving is 3 feet of snow, 10 below temps, fog, and wind........
Quick Jaime, I need to learn spanish before tomorrow....can you help?
Uh oh, the 'Mex is maybe the last guy to teach you Spanish...All he knows is the Mexican stuff... :icon_lol:
Heh.. watch out if you two have a drink... U might get a glass of jetfuel :disturbed:

Wayne, here are the two most important phrases you'll need to know:
"Donde esta el bano?" Where is the bathroom?
"Otro cerveza, por favor." Please bring me another beer...... :icon_mrgreen:
I'll have you know I don't do jet fuel in the morning. My breakfast of champions is made from 115 octane aviation gasoline. Jet fuel is for kids.... :eusa_sick:
QuoteOtro cerveza, por favor
Otro Pina Colada would have been appropriate.....
As for bathrooms, the International Standard of Symbolic Symbols has already taken care of that...
I hope you didnt bring any cold air with ya Nonny. We are leaving thurs afternoon for Denver, goof a day, then fly to NO on saturday morning. By Monday evening at 4:00 or so... I expect to be Mermaid watching :icon_razz:
there was plenty of blue skies and sunshine for everyone...incidently, we flew over Nawlins on the way back...and Hooston on the way down.....
So.. ahhhh... barring any candadien secrets and the canadien homeland security and health and all that... where did ya go down there?
Tulum, Xel ha, Coba, Nohoch Muul....... y'know, the regular tourist destinations .... :icon_biggrin:
(Actually just south of Cozumel Island.....)
A tropical paradise if ever there was one......for a week anyways.....now it is back to reality..
Looks straight off pirates of the Caribbean. I don't go to places like that, something about having to be dragged back on the plane.
Nice pic there. We will be in Progresso and then Cozumel. I be mermaid hunting... did you see any down there?
And Honcho, you right. This will be our third trip to this area and it is beautiful. I used to think that water and beach stuff was faked somehow as I saw the ocean around texas, new york and los angeles. It was either green or gray and murky. Now, down south in mexico/carribbean, what with the white sand, turquiose water, and can see through it like calm swimming pool is fantastic. We have never done one of the all inclusive trips, just cruises, and this is our 6th one now. Its the cheapest form of vacation we have found.
matter of fact, I saw dozens of them......some tried to sneak in amongst us tourists......it takes a trained eye to spot them.......
But honestly, it was the first real vacation we have been on for close to 20 years.....the coming back part really sucks though.....
Have a great time Fraz....
..so did Fraz get swallowed by a giant mermaid ????
na..... but i did catch the bug that is going around here locally. havent felt like doing anything for almost a week. that durn cold air followed us clear down to the yucatan peninsula... was abnormally cold there although it was in the 70-area. and ole rondar got in the water with the kids and swam around a bit and say.... that sand was lookin for luv in all the wrong places. :disturbed:
aren't those some of the most idealic beaches ever??? Half expect to see Ginger and Mary Ann come down looking for the Professor..........
Some of those fish are a little too friendly, though.....
It sure makes it hard to wanna come home. Wife wants me to work harder so we can go more lol.
You got that right!! Especially with a 100 degree temperature change...
