  1. Why would you buy them in Mexico instead of at home?:confused:

     

    Buying glasses in Mexico because they are much cheaper than in the states. I have bought many pairs and very pleased. HOWEVER, I do NOT have the lenses done in Mexico. I bring the glass frames home and have the lenses done in the U.S.

  2. tough question. it could be wet. It could be dry.

    if it's cold, it will be like autumn cold in the US.

    but it could also be hot.

     

    you might actually know in advance of your cruise - there is a 7 day forecast. So maybe you'll have a clue as to what it will be.

     

    but if not, i would take layers with me. So that you're ready for 80 degree weather. And 50 degree weather. And also with a raincoat, in case it rains.

    but no need for a winter coat. Just layers with a raincoat is enough.

     

    i don't even own a winter coat. I've never had the need for a winter coat in 30 years of living here. But i do have a raincoat. when it's cold i'm layered.

    Like right now i have on a short sleeve t shirt and a zippered sweatshirt over it. That's pretty much how i dress all winter.

    a short sleeve shirt, with a sweatshirt or sweater over it.

    And then when it rains, a raincoat over everything.

     

    but maybe you'll know already before you leave.

     

    hopefully someone else will chime in with an opinion here. I don't like giving this kind of advice. After all, everyone is different in terms of what they like/need to wear.

     

    i'm editing this to add that it gets colder in jerusalem because it's up in the hills. People there actually do own winter coats and wear them in the winter.

    But when i go to jerusalem, i just put on another layer or two and add a scarf and gloves (if it's a really cold day).

     

    the advantage of layers is you can take some of them off if you're warm. Just carry a little backpack with you to stuff your extra layers into.

    AWESOME - your info was most helpful! I live in SoCalif, so I don't own a winter coat either. I figure it is just TOO hot in the middle east in the summer for me to visit, but had the feeling it is much like home in the winter for temps. We are experiencing some really cold weather here at the beach right now, however, winters, are usually mild compared to the REST of the U.S.

     

    I usually do some layers, but suitcase weight will be a problem if I have to pack to multi climates.

     

    Thanks for your help.

  3. Well, I can't speak for David Cole, but as far as we know, we will be onboard the Golden for that cruise. Of course, that is a full year and some change in advance, but if Princess wants us there, we will be there.

    my friends, jiggerb, aseaprincess1, cavmom, all agree

  5. Aloha,

    As far as I know, Leialoha and I will be back for the 2011-12 season on the Golden...no offer has been tendered yet, but we really can't see it NOT happening. As far as David Cole, he will be on vacation for the beginning of the 2011-12 season, and as far as he knows, will not be back until at least November...probably the first three cruises. I believe the CD for the start of the season will be Kelvin Joy...although as always, I never really know 100% until I see someone walking up the gangway. Hope this helps.

    Does that mean that David Cole will NOT be aboard the Golden for the April 25, 2012 sailing?

    Do I understand this to mean David Cole will NOT be aboard the Golden for the April 25, 2012 sailing?

  8. For others that carry digital cameras, a good way to have your contact info with the camera would be to put your name/address/phone on a paper and take a photo of it so that if it gets lost you may be reuntited with your camera. :)

     

    better yet - i stick a return address labrl right onto the camera - i put one inside my eyeglass and sunglass cases also

     

    my husband's glasses were mailed to us from a ver sweet hawaiian lady from hilo - it works.....................
