My children and I just watched the turtle video and I told them the story of the camera and the man from Key West. We are all amazed and heartened. You read stories here of pickpockets, of people complaining about what a stranger wore to dinner, and all sorts of bad and petty things but your story touched my heart.

I love that you returned the camera to the family and had fun with the investigation as well. Thanks for sharing this with the world. We do not often get to hear the good stories. Sharing this with my children was a good lesson about the goodness that still exists even in difficult times.

Hi all! I am new here and I just started with my Wii games. They sat in the box for a few months...sighs.

Anyway, I did Wii Walk it Out today and it was fun! I really enjoyed keeping beat to the music and while it wasn't a really intense workout, I wanted to start small. I am going from rather sedentary to active and I have asthma so I didn't want too much at first. I think I might box a little later after my kids have their turns. I really like the boxing..and it relieves stress!

My goal is to lose a pants size but I wouldn't mind losing about 30 pounds before our Med cruise in September. I figure that is about 5 pounds a month which sounds easy, right? I already eat pretty well but I am going to start back on WW online to keep track of my calories.

Glad to be here and I am so trying to be motivated this time!

I was hoping LadyDubrovnik would know about the Sunday situation. It looks as if after September 1, most shops will be closed. As long as the wall is open, I will be happy. I rather like 'quiet' but I really want to walk the wall.

I am also interested in whether the attractions will be open on Sunday as our ship stops there in September 2010 from 1 pm to 9 pm on a Sunday. I would so much prefer spending time in town than on the ship.

Your wonderful reviews of Dubrovnik are what tempted me to choose this itinerary and I will be so disppointed if we can't walk the wall! Thanks.

We didn't spend a great deal on our last cruise either, even with three kids along. I think its because there was so much to do that didn't cost extra money! The free coffee and pastries were so good in the little snack place that we had no reason to buy many fancy coffees or ice cream and I brought my own flavored creamer since I knew it wouldn't be available. We don't enjoy the casino so didn't go and spa prices are outrageous compared to the costs at home...and I have some friends who are massage therapists. :) The dining room and buffet food was so good we didn't miss the specialty restaurants. I can't imagine buying art on a cruise ship. I imagine we will spend more on drinks when the kids aren't with us.

I have a feeling we will spend most of our money in ports on our next cruise and not as much on the ship due to the itinerary.

We went geocaching on Coco Cay last year. It was a great deal of fun and the island was beautiful.
