MelBelle - Welcome to the Daily Dock - so happy that you have decided to join us and hope you will stop by on a regular basis.  You are correct that this is just general talk about our daily lives, our families and what is happening in our little corner of the world.  We are very informal and generally address each other by our first names so if you like, please tell us yours.   <br />

As far as the wrist bands go I have used them and they did not really work for me.  However I gave mine to my sister-in-law and she noticed immediate relief.  Since you are getting ready for your first cruise, please ask any questions you may have - we have a lot of cruising experience here on this board but were all first time cruisers with lots of questions at one time.  Please be sure to post your cruise on our calendar here as well as your birthday, anniversary, etc.  so we can celebrate with you.  Just be forewarned - once you have sailed on your first cruise you will be hooked like all of us.  <br />

Mercedes - have a great trip and enjoy some SC sunshine.  Travel safely and we look forward to hearing all about your trip when you return.  <br />

Time to run some errands - I never realized how many little odds and ends Jim did during the day - not sure I am liking him working anymore.   LOL
