Not the 40 I have the 20. First batch went very well. I used the cooler option. The humidity pump worked very well.

This is so cool! (Love this pic.) Glad you had such a wonderful trip!

All set can I get Whoop! Whoop!

Whoop, Whoop!!!

You are just amazing

Not really. It's more like... I have chickens. These chickens need housing. Guess I'd better build something. Speaking of which, I have ~80 chicks indoors. None of them have housing. I'm kinda freaking out right now...

no actually the cold killed me being outside yesterday with the turkeys

I'm home! And gearing up for a read back.

It was a 7-day cruise out of Galveston, TX, to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. About 6 hours in each port. We river rafted in Jamaica and had an excellent guide who pointed out local birds and plants. Jamaica had goats in all the ditches, they looked like nigerian dwarfs but bigger. The guide said the breeds they have are "nuban buck" and "english goats" and of course all the mixes. He said the nuban buck meat was very dry. I didn't bring my phone because of the water, so no pictures. The exchange rate was about $170 to $1 USD.

We snorkeled at 7-mile beach and Cemetery Beach in Grand Cayman. The parks, empty lots, and beaches were full of chickens and big yellow iguanas. GC was very expensive, and very American. Lots of strip malls with the same shops as at home, and lots of resorts. The exchange rate was $1 to $1.28USD or so.

I spent the day on a beach in Cozumel. Snorkeled a little, played with the kids. Very relaxing for a last stop. Exchange rate was about 20p to $1USD. When shopping I got local change so I have a little money from each country as a souvenir.

A few pics!

We saved a few hundred bucks by getting an inside cabin on deck 2. It was a godsend Friday with rough water because there was less movement than anywhere else. DD and I were the only two to get sick and we took long naps. In the pic DH is around the corner to the left. We had a small bathroom and cabinets for luggage.


They had super fun drinks for kids that looked just like the grownup versions. This was the only time we used the pools.
