Where is everyone?

I was at work.

But I work for Disney.. soooo does that count??

I can attest that, I was in fact partying around Disney. We had a great dinner at Rose & Crown!

Yeah... im gettin down in Disney right this second........

How was it? We were looking at the menu for that today. Were trying to get a list for November

It was awesome! I always love it, but I think the beer flight I drank made it that much better!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Rose and Crown! but I find that I only order the Surf and Turf.. it's soooooooo good!!

My brother is the one that keeps trying new things like the pot roast, the lamb.. it's all really good!!

I think I may have to add it to the finished list... lol

Theres going to be a couple im going to ask questions about when we get closer to choosing the finalists

I just love that they have Yorkshire puddings. I tried a Scotch Egg today for the first time and it was awesome!

Scotch Egg? Have to admit... no idea what that is

Don't work for AJ but we had dinner tonight!

I hadn't either. It's a hard boiled egg wrapped in sausage!

Hmmmm... sounds good

I didn't think I'd like it, but I LOVED it.

I asked the waiter how it compared to a "real" one and he said the only difference was a little less breading on the outside so I may be headed over to Great Britain to get one.

Why does it sound like your being a stalker............

It IS good! The veggie version of it is real nice too! Perfect as a snack at picnics etc

What do they wrap the veggie version in Peg?

I'm intrigued! I love Scotch eggs, so I def want to hear about the vegetarian version, too! Is it fried as well?

I still need to get to the Rose and Crown one of these days to eat. We've only stopped in for a drink there.

Hi,

I've been working ever since I got home from my cruise on Saturday, March 12, 2011. It was not a Disney cruise. I went with three friends on a 12-night southern Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean International's Enchantment of the Seas from February 28 to March 12, 2011. Ports of call included the following:

March 3: Labadee, Haiti, on RCI's $30 million playground 160 miles (256 km) north of Port au Prince. Excursions included a coastal cruise and a cultural tour and beach time. A free drink at the beach was either straight punch or rum punch; I got the straight punch because if I get drunk, my jokes, already bad, get even worse.

March 4: Samana, Dominican Republic. Explored a couple of caves in a mangrove.

March 5: San Juan, Puerto Rico. Mostly shopping and a look at the outside of the San Cristobal Fort, which is a National Historic Site run by the U.S. Parks Service. Christopher Columbus landed on the island on January 12, 1493 and called it San Juan de Bautista (St John the Baptist), establishing a city in 1508 that he called Puerto Rico; as time went on (as it tends to do), the two names were reversed, which is why the American protectorate, which stays on Eastern Standard Time all year, is called Puerto Rico and its capital city of 450,000 people, located on its northeast coast, is known as San Juan. We explored a trail at the El Yunque Rainforest.

March 6: Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Sold to the United States by Britain in 1917 for $US25 million, and separated from the British Virgin Islands by the Sir Francis Drake Channel, this is the only American protectorate whose residents drive on the left-hand side of the road. I got a t-shirt, hiked a rocky two-mile forest trail on St. John, and swam in the Caribbean Sea.

March 7: Philipsburg, Sint Maarten, Netherlands Antilles/Marigot, Saint-Martin, French West Indies. In a single four-hour excursion on and off the smallest island in the world shared by two different nations (37 square miles/59.2 square kilometers), involving a panoramic drive and a tour in a glass-bottomed boat, we were told why photography and tape measures are forbidden on the most famous of the island's 37 public beaches--Orient Beach, on French Saint-Martin's northeast coast, is a clothing-optional playground--as well as about the marine life off the coast of Saint-Martin. While the English language (and a few Dutch words) dominates storefronts and signs in Philipsburg, everything's in French on the (larger, by 5 square miles/8 square kilometers) French side.

March 8: Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Last September a hurricane hit the BVI's most populous island and dumped 28 inches (700 mm) of rain in one day. The roads still haven't recovered from that supersaturation, but that doesn't detract from Tortola's considerable natural beauty. The Governor's House, built in 1899, destroyed by a hurricane in 1926 and later rebuilt, is now a museum. A mural on one of the hillsides, signed and dated by the artist in 2002, traces the cultural history of Tortola.

Yum yum..I love the Rose and Crown! I usually get the surf and turf as well..it is SO good!

The first time we went there it was "prawns" instead of the fish and Dave and I had about a ten minute discussion between the time we ordered and the time our food can about what "prawns" where. When it showed up we both said "oh..it's shrimp!"

Duh.

It varies, but basically meat substitute. You can get quorn ones or other soy type ones. They're niiice

Do you get quorn in the US by the way?

Hi,

Sorry if my previous post is off-topic.

Jim

Hey Jim, where was your favorite stop on your cruise? It sounds wonderful!

Peg, I'd never heard of quorn. Doing some research I see they're big in UK and Ireland (according to Wikipedia)

Hi,

I think my favorite port might have been St. Maarten/St. Martin, but not because of the nude beach, which we never got near. I don't think I have the guts to wander around displaying my goodies for all to see. The merchants weren't at all pushy, and I just liked the vibe of the whole trip. Nothing beats being in the tropics during the winter surrounded by steel pan music, which absolutely soaks the Caribbean islands. I was extremely fortunate to even be able to do these tours; for I had gotten caught in a downpour on February 25, 2011, caught a cold, and spent the first two sea days sleeping it off in my stateroom. On the sailing back from Tortola, I participated, at the urging of Katrina Blair, wife of the ship's cruise director, in the "Mr. Enchantment of the Seas Sexy Legs" contest. I would like to say that I won; though I didn't win anything, once I shook off the cold, I had the kind of blast that you can't approach with dynamite.

Jim

Lol..I have no idea what quorn is..I thought you misspelled corn.
