I guess DH took his test at the beginning of an after work rush? Or maybe the proctor took a dinner break? Whatever the delay, we now have all our negative results printed, and we'll hit the road tomorrow between 10 and 11am. Time to celebrate with a glass or two of wine! 

 
 

Well folks, the day has finally arrived!!!!
We all tested negative yesterday, (a huge monkey off of our back) and as I type we are 2 hours and 19 minutes into our 9ish hour drive to Newark. 
I can't wait to get there and probably not be able to fall asleep tonight. We have a 10:30 arrival time tomorrow morning, and I should have a quick suit tour video, and writeup of our embarkation process. 
I can't believe we are finally at this point!!!

This is a lot to unpack here. Sounds like the making of a soap opera and I'm here for it 😂

View coming in to St. Marteen , what a special treat!

Love reading your adventures and the brutal honesty.
But this caught my eye. You're not talking about in the bathroom right? 😁
 

Q Are the RoyalUp℠ upcharges commissionable? A Yes, based on the commission percent on the booking. At this time, the only exception is for bookings that reserve under a net price code which will not earn commission on the upcharge.

Sigh.  I apologize in advance for this rant.  I've been searching for MONTHS for a decent flight for our upcoming April sailing out of Miami. I've searched MIA, FLL and even PBI and am having NO luck finding a decent return flight. 99% of everything is either before 10 am or later in the evening. If the sailings would be Sat-Sat, an early evening flight would be fine because we wouldn't have to wake up early the next day for work/school. Why must they come back on Sundays?? I'm jealous of all of you who live close enough to drive and don't have to deal with this 😉 Ok, rant over. 
On another note, my sailing is exactly 100 days away and it will be my first time on Oasis!

My local airport is GSP but I'm right between ATL and CLT. We usually drive to CLT and fly from there, only because driving in ATL intimidates me 😂

From the deck plan room description:
Two King size beds
Four twin size bunk beds
Double pull out sofa bed
I count 10 places to sleep (not including the slide) but they list is online as 9 person occupancy ATM.
Honestly, this is was a large motivator in me deciding to start investing early and significantly for retirement. I like the idea of me being able to pay my whole family's vacations when I'm a granddad.

This is my dream cabin. By the time I'll be able to pull it off, it will be for my grandkids instead of my kids 😂

We tipped and bought souvenirs in the port area with US dollars in Roatan. We didn't shop outside the area.

US dollars are accepted all over Roatan.  

Western Wall for sure. My name was placed in a crack when I had stage 4b cancer. Friends of mine went to Israel every year and that year they went to the wall for me. I plan on taking a list of names from my cancer Facebook groups and doing the same. 

I've only had 1 SC sailing and we had Smitha so also used whatsapp, but if I had to actually place a phone call to the genie, I would definitely not use their services as much. I HATE talking to people on the phone and there's no doubt in my mind that my trip wouldn't have been as amazing as it was if I had to call every time.
