MONDAY - August 27th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good Morning Crazies - we are home and we are back on-line.  I have a lot of catching up to do but I will do that while the laundry is being done.  YUCK - back to reality.  We had a really wonderful cruise and Heather &amp; Caitlin are avid cruisers.  They just loved it and were amazed at the clear water of the Caribbean.  They did it all - swam with the dolphins - swam in the caribbean and all in all had a great time. <br />
On our last night at sea they asked that we take them again when they graduate from college in 4 years&#33;&#33;&#33;<br />
The cruise was not affected at all by Hurricane Dean and in fact was the smoothest cruise we have had in a long time.   Our trip back from San Juan to NY  - the ocean was like a lake.  You had to constantly look out at the water to realize you were moving.   Had beautiful weather but hot, hot hot all the way til about 4PM on Saturday when it clouded over but didn&#39;t rain.  It remained that way til we arrived back at 7:30 Sunday morning.  We were off the ship and heading to Staten Island to drop off the girls at 9:15 - a record debarkation for us. <br />
<br />
Rose - how was your cruise.  We ended up staying in St. Thomas til after you sailed.....no idea why.  They simply posted at the gangway that morning that we weren&#39;t sailing til 8PM (we were supposed to sail at 6PM)<br />
Wish I could have gotten a hold of you - those extra 2 hours could have been used to get together and say Hi if you were available.<br />
<br />
Jenn - Crazies will be packed up today and on her way to you by tomorrow.  Have fun with it - directions for returning it will be in the box.    <br />
<br />
I will be back later today, after I have a chance to catch up.  Hope everyone is well.
