to leave my family and this freezing country and go on a Caribbean cruise?

[sethstarofbethlehemsmum]

actually I can't, I don't have a current passport. I can dream though.

anyone like to join me?

lol!!!

Can I come too????

YADNBU!

I'm in. When are we leaving?

just think girls, in a few days we'll be sitting on the deck sipping pina coladas and watching the sun go down.

Is there still space for me? I nearly died from sadness when I was looking up the weather for the next 10 days and it said "21 December. Winter starts"

Can I come?

My passports good... i can stuff you in my suitcase if you'd like.

Unfortuantely i'd have to embezzle some money to afford the tickets though....

loads of space on the magical Mumsnet cruiseliner.

as long as no-one wants to bring their children.

and it's not this boat, just in case anyone was worried

can we go here? Right now?

Brilliant!

Magical Mumsnet cruiseliner - where every hour is cocktail hour.

I'm not coming - we went to the Caribbean at the end of October (first holiday in 10 years), and got stuck in a hurricane zone. Most nightmarish experience of the last year.

Can we go somewhere else instead?

ok, I'm easy as long as there's sun and pina coladas.
Hawaii? I quite fancy that whole grass skirt, flower tucked behind the ear, hula hula dancing, sipping stuff out of coconuts vibe.

I'm already packed, sadly for Center Parcs not the Caribbean :(

didn't the advert used to say 'Centre Parcs, the one holiday the weather can't spoil'?

I'm going to Thailand in a few days - lovely weather, excellent food, surely they can manage pina coladas too.

me me me

oh yes, do please come SEA

It was fcking freezing last time I have no idea why we keep going back, all we do is eat

It's snowing loads here and looking like the kids will be off school tomorrow... make mine a large one >

I will book some handsome ships' officers in crisp white uniforms to dance with us.

ooh excited can we have cocktails with little umbrellas in them too

yyy, and not just one little umbrella per drink, several!

OH YES!!!! Brilliant idea
