Hooray for 5 hour delays!!!! We should be approaching our destination but instead we're still waiting for the plane to arrive. Our 2:45 departure turned into 3:15, 5:53, 6:30 and now 7:30. This is why were flying down the day before our cruise. Hooray for airport bars

Great call Ali! I've heard, something like: "There's no such thing as early, you're either upon time or you're late.".

I'm scared to check the board for an update. Seems there's always a delay. Luckily we board our cruise at 12:30 tomorrow so we'll get to enjoy a bit of Miami tomorrow morning

That's understandable! I hope, you & your family've the best time!

We eventually made it. Have had two ports already tomorrow is a beach day yay

I love beaches, I am certain that it was enjoyable!

So I learned today swilling in the surf is tiring when you had shoulder surgery 4 months ago but wow the island of St John has beautiful beaches even through the taxi Window it's beautiful

Roatan was nice, too.

I wasn't a fan of Roatan we were there the last cruise we did. I like the Virgin islands they've never let me down so far

The surf even within shallow water, upon a great day's still powerful. I remember once being told, to stay where I was & got into trouble, when they saw that I didn't but I did, the water unbeknownst to me was moving me along the shoreline.

I agree!

The waves hitting and then the undertow they create is intense. I said i can see how some one can get in trouble. I tried to stay a certain distance from the shore and in line with my boy who was building sand castles. My shoulder got tired as it was about time to leave so I got out

I wouldn't want to be on a cruise ~anywhere~ Our beach was certainly more crowded when the cruise ships were in. I was there for the diving; got 19 dives in over six days of diving. The last day was a bonus, but we only got two dives per day the last two days because of weather. They had to bus us to the other side of the island because it was too rough where we were staying.

Water terrifies me I wouldn't want to be diving anywhere. To each their own eh. Going into the ocean surf i had to endure five minor panic attacks. Snorkelling just isn't really worth the fear i experience having to put my face in the water.

We always choose the nicer excursions from the cruise ship or ask a cad driver to take us to their favourite spot. It ensures you're not there With a million other people. The best was our cab driver in St Maarten once who took us to get favourite beach on the frsnch side of the island. It was fun getting to speak proper France French in the middle of the Caribbean

Hi all. Long time listener, first time caller. I’m 43 and would love to add some friends. I’m into Olympic lifting and carbs.

Then SCUBA would definitely NOT be fun for you! I find it extremely relaxing and beautiful. I used to date a woman who had an irrational fear of water. It was "bottom monsters." She knew they didn't exist, and she knew that her fear was irrational, but that didn't make it go away. My partner for 13 years also had an odd fear in the ocean. Ever since she was a kid, she was afraid frogmen would come grab her. When we went to Kauai, she wanted to just swim over sand that was shallow enough she could see the bottom. Eventually she got over it a little and could swim over the reef to see all the fish. SCUBA was never going to be her thing, though. In that case it was all the equipment. We're kayakers, and that was already too much gear. Oh well. My next dive trip is to the California Channel Islands this summer, and next year I get to raft the Colorado River through Grand Canyon for 23 days. That's a special place, too.

Greetings. I just started using myfitnesspal again and I am looking to get back in shape.

Im the 9th...

Oh, and I’m 39.

Hello from the Midwest! I’ve never put forth 100% using this app and need to. 20 pounds to go to my goal. I love working out and do so 4-5 days week spinning and body pump. I don’t drink or smoke. I thinking my issues are too many calories with natural sugar from fruit. Typical day is a protein shake after morning workout, oatmeal with blueberries at 10; in salad with oil and vinegar and no cheese, string cheese and fruit or almonds for afternoon snack; healthy instant pot or grilled meat and veg for dinner, and apple and peanut butter for dessert before 8 pm. What would you change here? Open to any ideas or suggestions. Friend me if you’d like. Thanks for listening 😃
