We were on the western Mexico cruise in April 2011 and had a marvelous time. We loved the Hydo pool and Thermal Suite package and plan to do that again. I have seen several posts from women in NC, and we are also. We live in Sylva which is about an hour west of Asheville in the beautiful Smoky Mountains. We are flying from Charlotte, doing a park and fly at the Quality Inn near the airport on Feb. 1. Anyone nearby and want to meet for dinner or somethng? We are flying to FTL on the 2nd.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sue and Val &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Welcome to all the Newbies and to the Old Timers too!</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192784.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:21:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192784</guid><dc:creator>sleddog</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192784.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=192784</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Welcome ALL!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is gonna be such an exciting cruise...looking forward to seeing you all!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Welcome to all the Newbies and to the Old Timers too!</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192764.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:44:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192764</guid><dc:creator>ms_gemini</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192764.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=192764</wfw:commentRss><description>WOW...

Try everything once. Meet all the women and make friends with a bunch. Take lots of pictures.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!&amp;nbsp; Love that there are so many women from countries other than USA.&amp;nbsp; Hope to meet you all there. Can't believe it is almost here! Ready to jump in the delightful Caribbean ocean already.&amp;nbsp; And what an opportunity to meet and play with the women who have kept us laughing, loving, singing, growing and moving forward for all these years!&amp;nbsp; And I am thanking Judy D in advance for what I know will be the most incredible trip.&amp;nbsp; THANK YOU!&amp;nbsp; Seja and Setoria&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Newbie on board!</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192705.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:50:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192705</guid><dc:creator>Kvegasgrl</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192705.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=192705</wfw:commentRss><description>OMG...&amp;nbsp; I am getting so excited....
