Just wanted everyone to know that I am TWO MONTHS away from what so many of you awesome people have experienced this last week! Yes, I know there's no Boardie Bash in July, but that's okay! Me, TFW73, Jbizek, Rastagal, M&G Montreal, and I'm sure some others are going to crank it up!
I am super excited, and I can't waaaaaiiiiiittttttt!!!!!:D Thanks y'all for making me even more excited with your great pics and reports.
WHOOP WHOOP:cool:
I can't wait, either! I've been posting a countdown for a while on my FB. I love this time of the year...end of school, Memorial Day, vacation :) !
It's been TWO YEARS since our last trip, and that is entirely too long. We wasted our vacation last summer by going somewhere else instead of JA. No more!
I'm coming in July too
What dates?Quote:

Ima try! I may be one of the only people left in the world without a laptop! I do have an iPhone though! :) Maybe I should get my daughter's Nickelodeon netbook fixed!
I have a laptop, not sure if I'm bringing it though. I have never posted online from vacation. Perhaps I do need to bring it. We can't let the April boardies outdo us, can we? LOL
Rastagal, I know what you mean. I am trying really hard to not wish the time away. I want my vacation to last a long time!
Catcha has a community laptop set up in the restaurant area for guests to useQuote:

GarySteph-
I am so heartbroken and sad to say that somehow I lost the video I took of Venus for you. I took the video on my phone and it was a full video of the room from start to finish. It even included Sweetness and Clarity who waved to the camera. I was shooting the video and said "Wave to Garysteph" and they were like "Are you on a video conference?!?!?!" lol
So last night I went to upload it along with the pictures I took from the balcony and the video was not there....not sure how I messed that up but there have been some real photo/video disappointments from this past trip, 1 being that I didn't take nearly enough photos especially with all the boardies I met and 2, we lost our camera (the smaller one) at the boardie bash and we hadn't backed up ANY of the pictures we took.....I am still trying to get over that one...had a lot of good pictures on it..I am still heartbroken about that
Anyways. I just saw some REALLY good photos from Venus that Sweetness took and she is about to post them....so from these from my phone and hers, it should still be a good idea of how awesome the view is from Venus. So sad though about the video, I was so excited to show it to you!
Here are the pictures I took
The first one you can see Sweetness standing on her balcony "Oh Juliet!"
Venus is the top room all the way to the right

Then the next shot is standing on the balcony looking back into the room at Venus, the dining room and kitchen then into the living room

All of the following shots are taken while standing on the balcony and looking out at the awesome view

As you can tell, I might be just a little obsessed with photos of my house (aka Sagi) LOL
Shauna I didn't realize you lost that. I'm so sorry Ouch :(
GarySteph...ya'll are gonna fall in love with everything there. I was truly lucky to be able to stay there (like, freak occurrence lucky), and I will thank my lucky stars every single day for the experience. I hope yours is just as perfect.
Yeah, we lost it at the boardie bash.....I kept hoping for another miracle like yours but no go....at this point I don't care about the camera but I would give anything for the memory card. It had pics from Chicken Bus day trip including the ones of us on the zipline (the close shots that the guy took). It also had all of the panoramas we took and the really kick butt photo we took of the flaming bob marleys all lined up on the bar. It also had the pics I took at the Bellyflop but of course there are plenty of those out there now. Oh and it had the photos from the sunday Seasplash webcast and then the night at De Bar where we were laughing our butts off......I am still real upset about losing it! :(
I don't have the pictures, but the memories I will keep forever!
Wow...downer. BIG one. Maybe there is hope it will still turn up...i thought my iphone was a gonner so you never know. Dang.
Marley, first thanks soooooo much for the pics! It's very beautiful! I seriously appreciate you taking the time to do that for me! I can't wait to get there. It's all right about the video. I think I would've loved to hear your voices, but I'm guessing Clarity secretly deleted it because it included more than her right eye... hehehe :)
Second, the bless thing on the table! Too funny! Two things I say all the time "bless" and "whatever"!! That kinda cracked me up.
Third, I am so sorry about your camera. Just keep the faith, and hopefully it'll turn up! I certainly know the pain of lost pics, and like you said you've got the memories... thank God for that!
Again, thanks so much! It really does mean a lot that you took the time for me!
Awwww.no problem at all. I was happy to do it.
I also had the hubby take a photo of the view from Star just so you could compare the two. I will post that when I get home....but the better view is definitely from Venus for sure
