I thought the "hotties" would surely be an Italian sandwich. But no.
Thanks for sharing your trip with us. It was fun!
Yomp. And I'm inclined to avoid dealing with THAT until I have to.
It wouldn't be OKW...it would be the real Key West
Clearwater/Indian Rocks Beach is definitely an option, as are a number of things as long as it involves a beach. We've been to KSC (K hasn't but the rest of us have) and would almost certainly do a day there, especially if we say at Vero. Once we decide if we are sticking with the August cruise, we will figure out what goes around it as there really are a lot of ways we could go. Initially Vero seemed easiest and best but I've got sticker shock in a big way so that seems a bit less likely at the moment.
Jack of all trades, master of none!
Thank youI can't wait to be roomies again.
I will need that after a long trip. I look forward to spending a little over an hour there in a couple of weeks. But just not yet. I want time to slow down somewhat for the next 12 days.!!!!
I love your trip recaps! I had forgotten about the loneliest bus stop that ever stood!
I am going to try to post a trip review tonight, but I thought it might be fun to post a little tribute to my traveling companions, the East Meets West Gals.
I will proceed in the order that I met each lovely lady during our actual trip.
Melissa Oh Melissa. If I could only use one word to sum you up it would be Super Mom! (Ok that's actually two words). When I met you and I saw how competently and lovingly you handled your kids and your husband I thought, gee if I was a little kid I would definitely want Melissa to be my mom! You really do live the saying, "family first". I am so glad you were able to get a little "alone" time because I know your summer was run, run, run, and hectic, hectic, hectic. I also appreciate you making and remaking our ADRs. Thanks for being our uber planner. I hope you have a wonderful F&W trip and I can't wait until we meet again next year at F&W 2012.
Jen Not only are you "Teacher of the Year" material, you have that gentle presence that lets people know right away that you a geniune, caring, sincere person. You are also clearly a very patient and dedicated person. It's not so much in what you say, its all in how you carry herself and interact with others. You also know HM like no other. My only regret is we did not get to ride it together. But, Jen, I am very much hoping to see you again in June of 2012 and if I have to pick a spot for the meet it will definitely be the HM! Thank you, also, Jen for being chauffer to Cynthia and I during our first full park day.
CynthiaWhat can I say about Cynthia??? Cynthia - I couldn't have asked for a better roommate. You really helped me out when I was in a complete funk from my stupid headache and my lack of sleep. You helped pull me out of my funk and brightened my day. You are full of energy and just a pleasure to be around! Cynthia, you truly are a Jack of All Trades. You know a lot about alot. You are a computer wiz and you know a heck of a lot about wine, beer, and spirits. I don't know how I will travel to the world in December without you. How will I ever pick my own wine?????Cynthia - I know you'll be back in the world for F&W 2012 and I can't wait to see my roomie again. I hope we are able to continue to share Disney memories for a lifetime!
Christine I met you C for the first time two years ago. The first thing I remember about you, C, is in the glow in your smile and the sparkle in your eyes. You are clearly a Disney junkie who has had your fair share of koolaids. (Disney koolaid, that is). You know how to find the subtle, off the beaten trail beauty of Disney and its fabulous resorts. Christine, you were also clearly the comedian of our group. Your quick wit and dry delivery had everyone in fits of laughter.
Tracy What can I say about Tracy? Well, just like I want Melissa to be my mom, I want you to be my aunt because you have to be the coolest aunt on the planet. If I was about 10 years younger and we had known each other in college I know we would have been at every party on campus together. Tracy, you are the "go-to" person if you're feeling a little nervous about riding a particular attraction. Your are my thrill ride idol. I mean- come on - you got stuck on EE (not this trip) and sat there calmly taking pictures.I bet you never back down from an adventure. So for F&W 2012 I propose a group T0T Dismeet with you as the leader! I hope you and your neice have a fabulous F&W and post lots of FB updates!
So - to all the ladies, I sincerely enjoyed spending time with each one of you and getting to know you all a little better. Our trip itself was an adventure because how many people can say they threw caution to the wind and traveled with internet strangers.
And thank you all for the lovely gifts and awesome birthday cake and wishes. I still get choked up when I see pictures of that cake! Amazing!!!!!!
Oh No - You are master of many!
1 year and 2 weeks?????
I have used VBRO many times and most likely will again, $400 a night just isn't in my wallet for a beach condo! Either way though I need to wait and see if we even keep the cruise booking.
Apparently I didn’t take another picture until…this one. I guess my phone wasn’t so dead I couldn’t torture my husband long distance.
It was Cinco de Mayo after all! It was a lovely lovely margarita I must admit and I couldn’t have been more pleased that there was a Mexican joint near my gate. I had an app of some sort, I think an artichoke dip with chips and was truly a happy camper.
Jeff however was NOT so happy with the picture I texted him, responding, “THAT’S IT! I’m making Margarita’s this weekend!”
And he did.
Flight was uneventful and going back to work the next morning, not so much fun.
It was a wonderful wonderful trip and I can’t wait to do it again next year!!!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot it was Cinco de Mayo.
that's so funny that I pm'd you as you were writing. You know what they say about great minds!!!!!
