Lissy Kind

Okay so I have been out of school for 9 days already and I have done NOTHING but go to the lake and catch some creatures. I need to get motivated to DO SOMETHING this summer, and I was wondering if you guys could give me a list. I am a 14 year old girl and I am pretty much a tom boy. I go into mud and dirty water and catch things like frogs, tadpoles, fish, etc. I love animals and catching them to look and play with them. Although, I do need other things to do also. This is my list so far. Oh and if possible can you list some things I can do that includes my little dog? Thanks!
The bigger list the better!! :)

1.) Have a lemonade stand
2.) Water Trampoline
3.) Invent a Dance
4.) Go Turtle Hunting
5.) Swim in the Lake
6.) Play with my dog
7.) Take my dog on a walk
8.) Swim with my dog
9.) Dress up really nicely and go to a fast food restaurant
10.) Go somewhere and talk in a fake accent the whole time
11.) Send a balloon off with a note from me
12.) Go Tubing
13.) Float on a Tube in the lake
14.) Buy gamebird bird eggs and raise the baby chicks
15.) Learn how to fully do an aerial

:)

Answer
I was on this cruise at the end of June, 2007. You can read my review if you like (it is about 13 type written pages long) ...

I also was on the western itinerary. This was my second time on this itinerary. I did the same itinerary on the Navigator of the Seas in August 2004.

Monday is a day at sea. Your first port is Labadee on Tuesday. This is a private beach owned by Royal Caribbean (RCI). It is a good day to just relax on the beach. The small kids land based water park (Lucâs Splash Bash) was free. The bigger Aqua Park is water based and costs $15 for 50 minutes. There are water trampolines and a water see-saw and plastic icebergs for climbing. There are also Wave Runners, but it is a follow the leader type excursion. There are many other things to do, but I recommend just relaxing at the beach and enjoying the day.

If you are adventurous, then try the 500 foot high, 2600 foot long zip line that goes over the water. Sign up for this online, as it is very popular and might be sold out by the time the ship sails.

Wendesday is spent at Ocho Rios. The street vendors can get a little pushy in Jamaica, so be prepared. As you walk away from the dock on your right is the Island Village Shopping Center (just like a mall in the United States). To the left is a very nice beach. It is nice because the street vendors are not allowed in. I was there in August 2004 and it cost $1 to get in. The sand was more like powder. I also did the river tubing, which was fun. In June 2007 we went to Dunn's River Falls. That was hard work, but it was also a lot of fun.

Thursday is spent in Grand Cayman. Like Labadee, this is a tender port (the ship docks in Ocho Rios and Cozumel) which means you take a smaller boat from the ship to the dock. Allow extra time for this.

Both times I went to Grand Cayman I went to Stingray City. For some reason I just really like feeding the stingrays. Seven Mile Beach is just north of the tender dock and is a world class beach. The turtle farm is also popular. Grand Cayman is also well known for its scuba diving.

Friday is Cozumel. It seems to have fully recovered from the hurricane that hit it two years ago. In August 2004 I swam with both a dolphin and a seal. In June 2007 we did some kayaking and snorkeling. Both were fun (though I enjoyed feeding the stingrays more than swimming with the dolphin and seal).

Finally Saturday is another day at sea.

The ship is huge!. Two days at sea are not enough time to fully explore the ship. I did not go on the Flowrider (the surf thing). Unfortunately the Flowrider is not open all day, which limits the number of people who can enjoy it, since it cannot handle as many people in an hour as say the mini water park (H2O Zone) or ice skating (both of which are also available on the ship).

Other activities include the pools (separate from the H2O Zone) rock climbing, miniature golf and people watching in the Royal Promenade. There are also several lounges and an adults disco.

This ship is also great for teens because of the Living Room (a place for the teens to hang out with other teens) and Fuel (the teen disco with a soft drink bar). These two areas are exclusively for the teens (no little kids and no parents).

I recommend you take a look at the central promenade (which is on deck five) from one of the balconies between the elevators on decks six, seven or eight - and be prepared to be Wowed!

It is a great ship that has a lot to offer. Unfortunately one week is not long enough. My favorite excursion is Stingray City on Grand Cayman. My favorite island is Labadee because it is a great place to just relax. I am sure you will have a great time on this ship.

How to convince your parents to get a trampoline?

water trampoline pump image

Q.

Answer
Ok. Here goes.

Trampolining is a great cardio exercise. It tones muscles, burns fat and boosts your metabolism.

It wards off obesity.

Jumping releases endorphins which give you a more positive outlook on life.

Anyone can use it. Any age or size...

You can use water on the trampoline or a sprinkler under the tramp (if the mat is mesh) for those hot summer days.

It gets you out in the great outdoors.

Its good for the heart and all other body systems by getting the blood pumping.

These are just some great reasons...hopefully that helps you out!

What maintenance is required if I do NOT open my Anthony gunnite 25,000 gal pool? Can it harm the pool?

Diane W

Due to illness in the family, I am not able to open my inground pool this summer in Northern New Jersey. Is there anything I should do for maintenance? Can it damage the pool by not opening and circulating the water?

Answer
I used to work for the only Anthony dealer here in southern Ontario, so I reckon I can help.
If the pool was closed correctly and equipment winterized properly , it'll be fine. There are only 2 things to consider. What type of winter cover if any and the water underneath it.
If the cover is a poly tarp and water bag, just make sure all the bags are ok. Drain off as much water as you can from the top of the cover, as well as remove debris, if possible. The water is the bigger issue of the two. If the level gets up to your tile line before freeze over, it may crack some tiles. Check the water under the cover for Cl content. If it's 0 then add a shock and re cover.
If the cover is what we call a "safety cover", like a trampoline, then just do a pump out down to the returns again. Keeping the water clear in this case is difficult. It will likely go green, if it hasn't already. Safety covers are porous and let a lot of stuff in. You best bet, is liquid chlorine a few times this summer, followed by a dose right at ice in. Break a hole in the ice if you have to. The results in spring will be worth it.
The Marbalite finnish won't get hurt any more than in a normal operating cycle with the exception of the steps where you may notice more spider webbing (hairline cracks) or spalding (coin sized wafers of marbalite disloged). Normal, it will happen eventually in any Marbalite pool that has to be drained for winterizing. Californians and Floridians are lucky in that respect.
The pool walls may become more stained than usual, but that's going to be two winters of staining, and to be expected. It WILL come clean next spring, just a little more work.
Hope all this helps. I miss working on Anthony DE filters, they are, in my opinion the best out there. Unfortunately the Dealer I worked for, went under, there are only 3 guys in Ontario left that know the pools or the systems and we rarely get to see one anymore. Most have been retrofitted with Hayward or worse junk.
