Our Grand Turk evening found us visiting the Thrill Theater to see Spongebob before dinner. There was actually a line (and each time SB played there was :bored:) but we only had to wait one viewing though. The theater seats 24 people a session. On other days for Happy Feet and Planet Earth we had the place to ourselves. :)

Finally a poolside movie was playing my daughter could see, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but of course it was running at the same time as our dinner. :facepalm: Oh well. Couldn't pass up a good meal! :geek:

Our wait staff was phenomenal as usual. Our head waiter took our order and told my daughter, "I have chicken for you to take to room" and left. We kinda looked at each other like why is he sending chicken with us? :confused: Especially since we didn't order any! Our meal this evening was shrimp cocktail for an app, a pork chop topped with a caramelized vidalia onion glaze, fried apples, bacon mac and cheese, and ice cream sundaes (butter pecan for me, plain chocolate for her) for dessert. :hungry:

While waiting for our entrees, my daughter says "The main waiter (young man from Bosnia) sure is cute!" :eek: I made her repeat it and all I could spit out was "Yes, he's a handsome fellow." (I really didn't know what to say. :joyfull: ) Every time he had come to our table she would stare at her plate or the wall next to her. :happy: This evening she was having a heck of a time cutting her pork chop. (Little Miss Independent doesn't need mommy's help. :rolleyes: ) The cute waiter notices and offers to cut it for her. Of course I said she thought that would be just wonderful! :angelic: She would not look at him but I figured for sure she was going to slide under the table when he left. :hilarious:

The head waiter brought our desserts and said again "I have chicken for you." And after trying to politely turn him down he repeated it and left. So after enjoying our ice cream he comes to our table and takes a balloon out of his pocket and makes.....a poodle! My daughter says "That's a poodle!" The waiter says "It's a chicken." She says "No...that's a poodle!" He says "In my country, this is a chicken." :D Too funny!

After dinner they had cleared all the deck chairs from the pool area and had a Caribbean party happening. The cruise director and staff were teaching people different dances such as the mambo, etc. We watched for a bit but I heard my bed calling. Having a 7 a.m. room service order placed and needing to be off to our onshore excursion at 8 a.m., we went to sleep. :cat:

TO BE CONTINUED (I'm still trying to catch up) with Anaconda, "Happy" and Thank God I'm with a nurse.

I haven't a clue what that means, but you're smart, so I just figured whatever it is, you're right! :happy:

its quite simple, the autometering is a sensor (or software in a sensor) that detects the levels of light and its "color temp" (from warm to cold ) and adjusts the entire color scheme of the photo based on this.

The problem is: This sensor can be fooled when there is nothing of high contrast to compare or has a variety of lights sources.
So, some lights and lamps have either a frequency or "warmness" that can fool this sensor by affecting the "warmness" or color temp. Making it show skewed colors.. Example.. you skin will look yellow-tinted and a blue bird will look green.

Kinda hard to explain with my limited "technical" english vocabulary. I recommend going to a wiki or something :P

Climbing Diamond Head sounds spectacular! (In the big picture) not many people can take a vacation in the Hawaiian Islands, and you could have bragging rights about climbing Diamond Head. You'd be the envy of all your friends!! :cat:

I've actually done it before. My mother did it six months pregnant with me. Couldn't do it last trip because my asthma was so bad. So looking forward to doing it this time.

Still, I do not expect a trip of that many days to come cheap.

And that is why we only do it every few years or so and why it was such a gap in between trips for such a long time (we went theee years ago, and before that it had been 15 years). But since airfare is so expensive, you might as well stay for a while and do a long trip rather than more, shorter trips.

I've been to Hawaii once when I was young. My dad's best friend is Filipino and his family is from the big island. We stayed with his family there then went to Maui and Honolulu. I loved that trip so much. I remember trying to break open macadamia nuts on their driveway, making Leis with the ladies, and the luau they had for us.
It is really a wonderful state. Now I'm craving Kona coffee. That might be in my future too.

I don't have a suitable replacement for tenure that would protect the good teachers and let districts weed out the bad and still encourage the young to become teachers.

I do, but, that's the last I have to say about it here.
I fully realize I went against my normal policy of jumpin' in on a subject like this, but, now I'm jumpin' back out.
I agree to disagree.

Never been to Hawai so I will take your recommendation!

I'm still eyeing a trip to San Juan/CastAway Cay or something similar first.
