Life is too short for self-hatred and celery sticks: final update 12/29, p.98

[rentayenta]

Tom is all about convenience so the idea of spending 18 hours on a train when it's only 2.5 hours to fly....
On the other hand we'll have 4 adults and 3 children so it's a pretty good ratio!

Amanda

I bet Tom will have a blast. The kids will have a blast, I know mine would. It'll be the first E ticket ride of the trip.


I'm really sorry for your loss and hope the memories of her bring you and your family some comfort. ​

My friend Marsha and her family do the autotrain on their trips and they really enjoy it. I can link you to her trip report about it if you are interested.

I'd like to read about the auto-train. It sounds so cool and adventurous. Unlike my life right now. ​

I got two different posts for you from one of her trip reports. There are others.

Awesome, thanks! I'm going to check it out.

Did you talk to the goodreads people? ​

No, I just sent in my resume. Waiting to hear back.

Woot woot! Sending lots of good vibes. Keep us posted.


I just read her two pages and I think it looks like a total blast....for a night. Wonder if there's anything like that from SLC to anywhere?​

Thanks I am going to read these also -
I do think the AutoTrain could be fun -
we have never taken our car to Florida. We did rent one a few times.

Good wishes on the job !

Thank you, I think you might like her trip reports. It does look fun and I wish they had it on the west coast.

I think it would be fun. I love having my car at Disneyland.


Thank you.

Its an adventure before the adventure! I wish SLC had it too. I also wish we had Happy Hour. ​

I'm planning all kinds of trips we won't take.

TOO funny.

And too sad that I completely understood it. Made my day.

 

[pooh'smate]

All caught up. I always say I am going to stay caught up but then I get busy again and I don't get in as much as I want to.

I planned 3 Disney Cruises last alone. It's so ridiculous.

DS asked for a DC or Disneyland for his bar ,it's ah gift, in leu of a big party and I told him cruises were too $$$ but I found a few decent ones for like $3,500 for 5 nights for the five of us. Flights into Miami aren't horrible. Hoppers to Disneyland will run me $1,500 alone but we can use DVC there. Decisions, decisions.​

All caught up. I always say I am going to stay caught up but then I get busy again and I don't get in as much as I want to.

No worries lady, you know where to find us. How are you? I'm excited you are going in October now! ​

I think having extra grown-ups will be helpful for Tom. He gets frustrated sometimes that he doesn't get to relax when we take the kids to Disney. To me that's part of being a parent...

I looked on Amtrak's website and that is the only place they have it. They are building the high speed rail here in California some day, it really interested me until I found out what they are charging. Forget it. Cheaper to fly, much cheaper to drive.

Enjoy! She has at least one more trip report with her and her oldest daughter going on it again.

 

[Misskitty3]

I am way, way behind! But looking forward to getting caught up right now!

 

[Misskitty3]

Ohhh...that Moroccan meal looks so good!!

I love that I am not the only one that plans tons of trips even if they don't always happen (sure wish they did though!).

Looking forward to your next update!

Glad you're back. I have links in the first post if you want to skip the chatter.​

I'm working on my update right now. Hopefully I'll get it posted tonight.

The Moroccan meal was so good and exceptionally good for a CS. Big and a great value. I love sharing meals and hate to waste food.

I can't help but to plan trips all of the time. I get so many travel site emails. DH thinks I'm obsessed but if even 20% of the trips I plan/research come to fruition, I'm golden. Are you planning anything in particular right now?​

I read somewhere that they are going to charge $600 to $1,000 a person. That is way much more than I am willing to pay.

Does it take you up/down the coast? Wow, that seems expensive.​
