I've never been to a Royal Caribbean One Day Sale.
This Thursday, Oct. 2, is my chance! Royal Caribbean is offering reduced deposit and up to $200 in on-board credit for cruises departing Jan. 1-Dec. 25, 2009. There are also some really special deals on remaining cruises for 2008.
Start preparing for a cruise, whether that means taking Fenphedra to look good on deck, or saving a few more pennies, or simply picking up the phone on Oct. 2 to book the savings...

Lake Pend Oreille
I've never been to Lake Pend Oreille (say Pon-duh-ray).
Located in Idaho, this lake is one of the deepest in North America. It is deep enough that the Navy has tested submarines in it! There are the usual water activities to be done on Lake Pond Oreille. I find its history to be as fascinating. There are disputes about the origin of the name, if it came from the Kalispel Indians or early French traders. It is rumored to have its own version of the Loch Ness Monster, the Pend Oreille Paddler.

Adventure Boot Camp for Women
I've never been to an Adventure Boot Camp for Women.
A friend of mine has just started working out here (she may be working here too!) This looks like a fun way to step up a workout, way more fun than taking alli! There are boot camps just for women and they do offer a co-ed one as well. There are also nutrition lectures, shopping guides and a boot camp blog. The workouts take place at area parks. You get four weeks of fitness instruction, nutritional coaching and motivational training provided by The Strong Woman from highly qualified, experienced trainers. Age and fitness level do not matter, everyone is welcome and will see results.

underwater wedding
I've never been to an underwater wedding.
My husband was watching a travel show tonight which showed an underwater wedding. It was not a scuba diving wedding, but one of those walks where you wear a helmet. The bride wore a bikini with a skirt. The groom and groomsmen actually had on suits underwater! The wedding took place in the Indian Ocean. The water was clear and the surroundings were gorgeous. The fish were swimming around for a really great effect. The minister held up signs and the bride and groom checked off their answers. They had a hard time with the kiss because of the helmets, but I think they had a great time with their underwater ceremony.

buying a garage door opener
I've never been to buy a garage door opener.
My husband installed a new one for us last week. Ours had gone out, before the storm I think. He said though that the plug had been burned up. We have had three other neighbors tell us that their garage door openers are not working or are working "funny" since the storm. I am wondering if something happened when all the transformers blew. At any rate, I am really happy with the smooth linear motion the door opens with now. Now I can again open my garage door with the touch of a button.

Compgifts
I had never been to Compgifts before.
But as I like to save money, the subtitle to this blog caught my attention, The Frugal Way of Living. I was reminded of some good ideas by several articles found on this blog. I enjoyed, and need to reinstate the ritual, of menu planning . I like the ideas of getting out of debt and getting away from credit cards . I was also surprised to see that the blog author had too been affected by hurricane Ike, many hundreds of miles away from where I am. I had thought of using candles for the most part and saving our flashlight for times when needed. Luckily, power has been restored and I can once again surf looking for interesting new blogs like Compgifts. And I am always interested in ways to save money!

hurricane evacuation
I've never been on a hurricane evacuation...this year.
After leaving for hurricane Rita, we were not too inclined to try that again. We stayed here for hurricane Ike. I know many people who did leave. It is so hard to try to decide what to take with you if you do decide to evacuate. You may come home to lots of damaged property or nothing left.
For dads, it seems the important documents might be enough to take with them. For moms like me, it's photo albums, scrap books, and necessary supplies like food, water, and our school books!
Kids are anxious about pets, toys and games. Teens will likely not leave behind any PS3 or game box, CDs, stereos and other electronic items.
I know that all this is just "stuff". If we do ever decide to evacuate again, I hope I will remember to keep that in mind....
