The Adventure of the Flatties has Begun!!!

I have flattie pictures to post too. I just arrived home last night and I haven't had time to get my pictures off my camera and onto my computer. I promise to get my flattie pictures into photobucket soon.
 
Yum I definitely have a sweet tooth. Looks like I enjoyed the desserts at the Palo brunch! And I enjoyed my Mimosa too! Great pics!!

What was the drama at the Jet Blue terminal? Did I forget my ticket :confused3

The drama was that they put us on a plane that they knew had some kind of "technical difficulties" - and 10 minutes after takeoff the pilot came on to tell us that engine #2 was not functioning and we had to land... complete w/rescue trucks and PA police waiting for us on the runway. We had to wait 3 hours for another plane and were delayed a total of 5 hours. Good times, good times.... Oh, and they did compensate us for that - a whopping $50 credit each.

Oh man...thats not good. We gotta talk!! I haven't emailed you I didn't want to bombard you wanted to let you settle back in. Now I want to hear what other interesting things have happened :rolleyes1
 


I will post my flattie pictures once I get them uploaded to Smug Mug. That really locks up the computer, so I think I will do it tonight while I am sleeping.

Here's some more

Waiting for Virgin to start boarding

We usually sit in the upper level (premium economy) but had to go cattle class for this trip :sad1:

We had exit seats to give us a little more room, but then people seemed to want to stand there and look out the window :rolleyes:

I enjoyed watching the wing wobble up and down!

Oooh, never flew with Virgin before... or stayed at the Dolphin, can't wait to see more!!!
 
Sat 9th

After some much needed rest, we headed on to see Art at the Beach Club, a dear ol' friend of ours.

The flatties didn't eat through the flight as they don't like plane food, so it was time for some lunch at the Captain's Grille.

In the evening we headed to the Polynesian for the beach meet.
Here's Emiel getting a shot of the flatties:

Note - tis purely coincidental that's these two pictures almost line up!

There's more to come. Some REALLY good ones that'll make you laugh...I'm just saying :rolleyes1
 
I have to relearn how to post Photos cause Sandy found her camera and my Flattie photos are up on FB.. Now I just need to copy them over here!! Sandy ROCKS!!
 
Awwww, thanks Tara:hug: You were a great roomie!
Annette was initally transferring them to this thread- but maybe that was just when we were away??
I am at work, if I do not see them moved I will do so on Sunday when I am off. Also- PM me your snail mail address and I will send you your flattie complete with outfits-

take care!
 
Sun 10th - First day of the cruise!!! :banana:

We hopped onto the first bus from the Dolphin to the port. Note the VIP status, as we were carrying flatties on board :worship:

After some lunch at Parroy Kay we checked into our room - 6087.
Time for some well earnt rest. There's plenty of room in these staterooms, so no problem finding a place for the flatties.

Monday 11th to follow shortly!
 
Monday 11th - Nassau

We decided to stay on the ship as we didn't really fancy going to Nassau. Turns out this was good news for the flatties. A local woman eating chicken on the side of the road, here on to be referred to as 'chicken bone woman', may have asked to braid their hair! Just ask Alicia...

After chilling for a bit, the flatties indudlged in some wine tasting late afternoon. Note they are still standing, which is pretty impressive given their size to wine ratio. Now that's staying power :thumbsup2

Later that evening we all had dinner together at Parrot Kay.
