I know this is a very old thread but there will be a WW cruise in 2017.

Hi Ctpaddler. I just heard about the Weight Watcher cruise. The handout at the WW meeting said Carribean Cruise in January 2017. I emailed to be put on the list for more information.

Has anyone received any more info such as which cruise line and the actual date?

Would love more info.

I am with you beshears, lard is the way to go for pies. I grew up with this method and still use it today.

You mention Aruba, I have been there a couple of times, and never felt not-safe.

Oh and I think I figured out how to add the cruise list on bottom (well I think I did...we'll see if it posts :) )

To all my new American friends....HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Thank you Beth, I will look into that. It does sound like a reasonable option!

On another topic, I have noticed several people listing the cruises they have been on at the bottom of their post.

I am fairly new to this site, and would like to add my list. Could someone please tell me how to do this. Thanks, Gail

I moved in June. Before I moved I had a friend come to my house to feed the cats, etc. They've never been boarded, so I wasn't sure what I would do in my new hometown.

 

So, I did an Internet search and found a local pet sitting service owned by a young woman just out of college. She has two or three college students who work for her. I hired the service when I was away earlier this month. One of the "sitters" came to my home each day, fed the cats and changed the litter, brought in my mail and paper and played with any of the cats that would let her. All of this for $10 a visit. I couldn't board one cat for that

I just found this thread this morning. I am enjoying reading it, so much so that I almost forgot to eat breakfast (which rarely happens). I love cruising, started back when I was 25 years old (over 30 years cruising). My first cruise was a 14 day carribbean, which I did solo as none of my friends could afford to come. Since then I have cruised every 2 or 3 years, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends or husband. I have a 15 day cruise planned for April 2013 from Long beach, CA to Hawaii and back to Vancouver, Canada (where I live). It will be my BF's first cruise. Somehow it seems even more exciting to share it with a newbie!

Noticed you have cats. BF has a cat and we are struggling with arrangement for his care while away. A friend from out of town is going to stay with him for a week. Wondering what others do with their pets. Our family does not live close enough. We are looking at a cat hotel. What are your thoughts on this?

My cats are Lili - age 9 and Angus - age 3. I also have Bengal who is about 6. I adopted him a couple of years ago, and the person I got him from thought he was 4. Lili is a wee gray tabby; Bengal is a big orange tabby and Angus is a mid size long gray haired cat with beautiful white markings.

 

Carol, I'd forgotten about your cruise on the Allure. I'll be interested in what you think about it.

 

Several years ago I got pretty good at making pie crusts, but I haven't had any practice in a long time. Now I just buy the frozen crusts if and when I make a pie which is rare.

 

Hope everyone has a good weekend.
