She needs to buy dressy clothes because you have to dress for dinner etc sometimes. Also tell her NEVER EVER go anywhere on the ship alone and NEVER leave any of her friends alone. The ship's crew are usually forgieners and US laws dont apply to them. Men on the ships have kidnapped, raped, and killed women and others before. She needs to always be with someone at all times. Also tell her not to drink more than 1 alcoholic beverage. Also she needs to watch every drink poured for her because some bartenders have spiked drinks on cruises before to rape the women.

I've been riding for 20 years, and I would suggest starting off on a slower model before moving on to one with more power.  A  early to mid-1990s Sea Doo GTX is a good beginner model.  Very stable and not too a ton of speed with full throttle (but still enough to have a blast on!).  \n\nMake sure that you know all of the laws in the area that you will be going to.  If it's chilly wear a wetsuit, if it's hot make sure to wear tons of sunscreen.  Make sure that your lifevest is a Coast Guard arrproved Type III vest.  There are some out there that are approved by the Coast Guard but not Type III, so be careful.  \n\nIf you're starting off as a driver, remember that jet-skiis don't steer if you don't give it any gas!  So if you get in trouble, don't shut it off or pull out the key because you won't be able to manuver it.  If you're starting off as a passenger rather than the driver, hold on to the person in front of you, not onto the seat strap (if there is one).  \n\nIf you want to ride a stand-up first, make sure you give it gas to pull you out of the water.  It's easiest to start by floating in the water with your knees on the ski rather than on your stomach.  In rougher water they get bouncy, so balance is tricky.  \n\nThat's about it, but if you want to know more, go to the website for the area you will be visiting or to any national park website.  You'll find a link there to safe boating guidelines.

You're very sweet to take so much care with this. First of all, for her father, maybe to acknowlegde their relationship, get a gift they can use together, games to bring to his house, a gift card to something they like to do together whether it's movies, Chuck E Cheese, or skiing. For your stepdaughter, a nice dance bag would be thoughtful, or tickets to a musical if you live in a town that puts them on. Of course, an mp3 player is sure to make a hit, if she doesn't already have one. She's nine and must be starting to love clothes (my daughter already does at 5!) so give her a "coupon" for a small shopping spree, you decide the limit! Good luck and have a great holiday!

Dublin has great treasures waiting on saturdays at yard sales. get a newspaper and mark the ones in the same area with different colors so you can catch em all without a lot of driving around(might be walking distance). I'm sure your girl will find something she can't live without or never thought existed!\nGO SALEING!!

Well, maybe you can Google some fun things that are inexpensive and will keep you occupy. Are there any muesems that you can go to? plays? minor league games? a less expensive amuesment park? clubbing/dancing? How about taking her on a tour of where you exactly live at, like some sights or something.\nThis is, of course, where you live at.  If you live near Sarasota, show her the sights of that. Or Tallahassee. Or Miami.  Where ever you live at, being that it is Florida, take her around and show her some sights and sounds of Florida. If you live in the southern part of the state-near the Keys-take her there and so her the sight where she can actually see the Island of Cuba. Have a females night out. How about a spa you can take her to? Check out different places to see the ones near you that are reasonably priced. \nI hope you like the suggestions that I just gave you.

I hope not - I sent mine in January.... Damn! I might bake Mrs Clause some special 'cookies' and convince her to talk him into going easy on me. Or maybe I'll just give them both a litre of duty free vodka and a weekend in the Carribean. That's gotta get me into the good books...

She'll definitely survive!  Just tell her to make sure she wears comfortable shoes, and to not get angry at the ignorant people.

Wear a suit to church.  Is this a day or dinner cruise, or a multi-day vacation.  If it is just for the day, or for dinner then a sport coat will suffice.  If it is a longer cruise you will need a variety of clothing including your tuxedo for dinner at the Captain's table.

Go to the restaurant ahead of time and make sure to get the best table, tip if you have too. Doesn't hurt to get know someone there. That way if you have any table settings or special candles, you can serve it up before hand and surprise the girls. Then, After the dance, since you have already secured a room at a motel and stocked it with booze, you'll be all set to toss a few back, WITHOUT getting crocked, just get a nice warm glow for you and a drink, maybe two for the girl and set to chill. Ahh, memories.

Depending on what is available, and what she likes.  Amusement park, movies, picnic in the park with kite flying, laser tag, theme restaurants, slumber party, theater shows, go to the beach, paintball, pottery painting places, take a trip on a train, go shopping for clothes or her favorite thing, surprise party, zoo, museum, bowling, scavenger hunt, small airports will do air tours, and if all else fails ask her.\n\nHope she has a special day.

Send her a return ticket ,like that when she comes over you can do your best to convince her and if it doesn't work she can always fly back.Its a risk but its worth it.
