Rob and MB, I am sure there are many thoughts and prayers from all of your Dis-friends headed your way. Bless you and your family.
Great idea to stay out of the water. Did you happen to see any Jellyfish washed up on the Beach? Didn't hit the beach. This past week,one of my friends was stung pretty good over the face and neck while diving on the GreenCabin Shipwreck near the Resort. Apparently numerous Jellyfish(most harmless or mildly stinging) were driven out of the GulfStream by the E winds. When I saw him FridWe also saw huge schools of bail fish and twice we saw a shark jumping within the bait fish. The lifeguard station had out purple flags indicating "Dangerous sea life" or something like that.
Thanks. He is healing quick but was in pain for a few days. He was stung by a Box Jellyfish as he surfaced and didn't see it. Fortunately he still had his mask on. People really have to watch handling Jellyfish and definitely not Box Jellies or Portuguese Man o' War. Though stings are harmless and not (or hardly) felt on some species of Jellyfish, some species of Jellies and PMoW can painfully sting for days to weeks after washing up on beach. Having stepped on a dead PMoW as a dumb college kid 30+ yrs ago, well just say it wasn't a pleasant experience. LOLYes I saw 1 Jelly Fish washed up on the beach early in the week. There were 2 little girls collecting them and they told us they had 8. I never saw them again, nor did I see any in the water. Sorry for your friend, that is not fun.
First, Rob, I was sorry to read your news, and hope things are going well with MB's treatment. Been through it with my dad and almost had to go that route myself; hang in there and sending you both good thoughts!
I posted pages and pages ago when we were first planning, and now, all of a sudden, we're less than a month away - ack!
We'll be taking a red-eye from Seattle on November 19th and staying Saturday night at SSR (our first time to our first home), then boarding the Wonder for our "free" incentive cruise from adding on at VGC (LOVE it there BTW). After the cruise we head down to VB for the first time and have a 1BR for Friday and Saturday, but had to settle for a GVIR for Wednesday and Thursday (Thanksgiving) - still hoping for some pixie dust for our 1BR waitlist, but it's getting late!
We were going to stay at VB until we fly home on Tuesday, but decided to head back to SSR on Sunday and hit HP at Universal on Monday. It will be weird not going to the REAL parks this time, but looking forward to a relaxing time!
Anyone else going to be at VB the 24th-28th?
How is Vero Beach during Spring Break months? Crazy busy?? How's the weather at the end of March/beginning of April?
Thanks!
