Just imagine the Friday Night Starlight Gala on steroids!!! They handed out hats and noise makers and there was plenty of champagne at midnight! I can't think of a better place to ring in the New Year! I hope we get to meet!

All the best!

Hello SuzyQ Thank you for the info! My girlfriend and I are looking forward to the trip and counting the days until we depart. We're especially excited about celebrating the New Year at CSS. I hope we meet as well. See ya there!

We were so disappointed when we tried to book CSS for 28 December to be there for New Year's and found no availability, but thanks to Randymon informing us they still had rooms left we will be there 28 Dec - 4 Jan for our 4th trip to CSS, we are so excited!

We just booked Dec. 2-7 for our 40th wedding anniversary!

Double digit count down begins. YAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

so excited! double digits now until we leave for Jamaica for our weddingmoon! couldnt find a good cheap photographer so we decided to take out a credit card to stay longer! maybe not the best choice financially but i'm sure once we get down there it'll be no problem! haha

Rob (41) & Corrie (32) from Ohio will be at CSS from 12/27 - 1/3. This will be the 3rd year in a row we spent the holidays at CSS. A little cold last year, but still fun.

Hi xtabi89,
We are also from Florida--we're in Orlando. What part of the state are you from? Hopefully we'll meet in December and can raise a toast to 2012!

All the best,
suzyQ

Hi Suzzette We're from Gainesville...not too far from Orlando as you know. We're actually spending a couple of days at Universal before we fly out to Jamaica on the 30th. I have to get my roller coaster fix taken care of! I'm a Gainesville native but currently working in Afghanistan so I'm very excited about coming home in December. We'll fly back to Orlando on the 5th and then I head out the next day...back to Afghan via Dubai. Looking forward to meeting you and your husband and definitely having a toast at New Years! Have a good week.

Bobby

Just made reservations today for Dec 3rd to Dec 10th....countdown started.....89 days

Hi Bobby (xtabi89)
You stay safe over there in Afghanistan! Since you like roller coasters, Universal is definitely the park for you. You'll have to share your Universal adventures when you get to CSS. I will let you know that Karl and I spend most of our time on Sunset Beach--it is soooo AWESOME and the people are so nice, so if we don't see you by the pool we'll have to meet at the Balloon Bar for a drink!

All the best to you and Courtenay(hope I spelled it right),
Suzzette(suzyQ) and Karl

Thanks Suzzette! I'm hoping to spend some time at SSB as well, but it'll be our first time and although I'm not shy and ready to jump in, Courtney isn't so sure. I'm going to leave it up to her but as of right now she says she'll give it a try. We may have to knock down a couple of drinks first Where is the balloon bar? Have you guys been to CSS before?

The weather there is FABULOUS! It is in the 80's and simply beautiful. Will usually shower during the day but only briefly--the sun stays out the entire time and no one even gets up and leaves their chairs because it's so brief. CSS is such a wonderful place that my husband and I will not go anywhere else. You will LOVE it!

Yea...only two months from today.....we can hardly wait....come on Dec 3rd

I am with you. We can't wait, and hopefully the next two months will go by quickly. What time does you flight get in? Ours is suppose to arrive around 2:30 (if they don't change it between now and the 3rd).

Hi Bobby (xtabi89),

This will be our 4th visit to CSS! We are TOTALLY addicted to the place!!!!:-) The Balloon Bar is near the lobby, one flight of stairs down from the Lobby and Casanova's to be exact. I agree with you--you need to let Courtney decide if she's ready for A/N at SSB--but if she's willing to give it a try, the two of you should just head to the right side of the beach and pick your lounge chairs or a palapa on the quiet side of the beach. You will then gallantly offer to be the drink runner for the two of you and go pick up the drinks at the pool bar. Most of the activity is around the pool swim up bar. The bathrooms are over there and that's where they serve lunch too!

I'm sure you guys are going to have an awesome time no matter what! 84 days until CSS and if the airline doesn't change the time again, we should be at CSS around noontime! :-)

Safe travels to you both!

@lindad

We arrive at the airport about 1015 am so expect to be at couples in time for lunch and SSB bound in time to enjoy the afternoon sun

John, sure wish we could get that type of flight, but we leave out of Minneapolis, and they don't have any direct flights, so we never get in until the pm. Enjoy the afternoon, and save a few drinks for us.

We depart Toronto at 630 am ...wanted to make sure we squeezed in all the time we could....do not worry by the will be still drinks available when you get there

Hi everyone,
I've posted before, but I just had to share some news! Jetblue changed our flight time....again, so now we will arrive in Mobay around 9:45am! So if the line at immigration isn't too long and our luggage makes it ok. we could be at the Couples Lounge around 10ish and perhaps at CSS around noontime! We can have lunch and go to SSB to enjoy our first afternoon on Dec. 27th! We've never been this lucky with our flight! I hope our luck holds!!! I can taste my first rum puch already!!!

One Love!
suzyQ

SuzyQ:

Boy I got excited about your news about the flight change. When we booked with jetblue, our arrival time was early and then changed to later. I checked and we are still getting in at later times on Dec 06, I hope they change that date too! We had a flight getting in early and leaving late. That is why we booked with jetblue. It was ideal. Now it is the reverse. We get in at 4:30PM and leave at 10:00 AM. I guess we will just keep our fingers crossed.

We've got an early flight out of Orlando and should arrive in Mobay around 10 AM on 12/30. Hoping to be at CSS by lunch and soaking up some sun with drinks in hand soon after!

Hello Everyone:
Yep, I can begin to see the train on the track.Dec 3rd can not get here quick enough.Been a tough year, lost both parents in the last eleven months, mother just last week.
Look forward to seeing old friends, Wayne and Melody, Leesa and Darren, Linda and Rooster,Shari and James.
Looks like our flight from Houston does not land until 2:30 or 3 on Saturday Dec 3rd.

Hi John & aj,
If your flight gets in at 10:15 on 12/27, we may meet you in the Couples Lounge and be on the same bus to CSS! Hope to see you!

All the best!
