Your birthday bash sounds wonderful, I'm sure you'll have a magical time.
I tried to set our May trip to be earlier, but the couple going with us couldn't go that weekend.
I'm sorry you can't make it for the bash, but at least we can hopefully meet up. I'd love for you to come out and see our house on one of your days off from the parks!
Beggars can't be choosers! Your plan makes sense. And regardless of that, it is still a very generous gesture on your part.
I know, I'm pretty amazed at my whole family, I'm putting them up at a resort that commands $400 per night rates and they are complaining?
It is certainly a beautiful villa. And trading a room in your villa for a meal at Club 33 seems like an excellent trade off!
It did work out for a great night!
That's how you know you're moving up in the world.
Totally, I've seen those TV screens in the mirror on home renovation shows, but not in person!
Yeah, definitely a great view. Do they pipe in music or is it just loud enough that you won't even need anything like that?
Yes, I think it's channel 22 they pipe in the music so you can hear it on the TV as well as from the show.
That's how you do a birthday right there!
I think so!
Jeez
I'm sorry she fell and got hurt! I hope she heals up fast. Would palazzo pants work to go over her boot for your party? They're not bell bottoms, but they are wide legged.
I don't know, do guys wear Palazzo pants? I have no idea what they are. She doesn't wear women's clothes. We shop in the men's department of Walmart pretty much, if she is feeling stylish we go to the Big and Tall store. She doesn't own anything from the women's department except for bras, other than that, she wears men's clothing. I think you all are barking up the wrong tree. I think Andy, Mark, Pete and Bret would be better with the suggestions!
It has been a shame that DLR is not doing the F&W Festival at DCA in the past ever since the DCA expansion project. The suite looks so amazing and huge. I know that you will have a great birthday event in May.
Thanks Bret, we have some great plans, sorry you weren't able to make the timing!
Your birthday plans sound awesome!
I have the 14th - 25th off work. Since the flight home is pretty much going to take all day i was thinking I'd leave from San Diego after the cruise. But then I suddenly realized I wanted to try and see Alicia and family at some point too. Maybe I should come back up after the cruise. I could leave Sunday and get back late but fine for work Monday. Ugh, sorry to be all over the place. What are your thoughts?
We can figure it out, we're flexible and have nothing going on before or after, ask Alicia what she thinks....After might be better for her since it's a weekend.
Alison I am so glad there will be surgery for Fran. This sounds like a better plan.
Your birthday bash looks amazing. That view is just beautiful. I would sit at that window and just stare.
Good luck with the renters tomorrow.
Actually there won't be surgery for Fran that is what is better. I've had that view quite a few times, so I'm not as mesmerized, although the first couple times I sat there forever just watching. I think though we will enjoy WoC from there the first night, maybe even the second. I haven't checked to see if they have a second showing the Saturday night.
I keep my fingers crossed for you.
I can't wait to see you again either. I am sure all will work out. As this is a bonus trip, I will just take things as they come and as this is a solo trip, I will be totally flexible.

I'm looking forward to this one, you need to send me the dates again so I don't re book our replacement trip during your trip. I don't know when we're going to go, but it will be before the end of 2015. And I am so looking forward to our girls night at the Melting Pot!
I thoroughly enjoy your trip reports and was very sad to hear about her fall. Last year I badly broke an ankle and had to cancel a Disney trip.
Even though I've been to Disney many times over 40 years, I was bawling my eyes out cancelling the resort, all plans and cried even to American Airlines (even with the Ortho Surgeon's info, American didn't care & I lost a lot of money).
OH my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear about that. I know exactly how you feel because this isn't my first trip to cancel. The good thing about American Airlines is that with points we don't lose them for a year. I can't remember is it's from the date of booking or the date of flying, but as long as we go again soon (incentive to rebook!) we can still keep the miles!
I couldn't put weight on the ankle for 8 weeks and I have to say that it was one of the hardest experiences of my entire life.
The pain, the reliance on others, the depression (yes, depression), the cancellation of Disney, the cabin fever (it was Chicago winter).....everything.
That's awful, yes Fran is going through depression, do I say we have a therapist and she is even coming to the house, it is helping immeasurably. I'm not sure if this is the hardest experience for her as the wound care a couple years ago was probably worse, but she is having cabin fever, she has begun coming out to the family room, it's gotten so bad.
I know you need advice like a hole in your head, but please remind her to be very careful of her GOOD side. The knee roller device was only marginally good for me because of radiated ankle pain and crutches made me fall so I did a lot of hopping and twisting on the GOOD side and now I'm paying the price with problems in THAT knee, hip and ankle. Please just tell her to be very careful.
I will let her know about this. The good thing is that she has a new knee and hip on this side, so hopefully it won't suffer to bad.
My heart goes out to you both and hope recovery is smooth.
Thank you so very much and I'm not sure if I said it before so
So would yoga pants, black pants and long shirt be good? They should be almost like tights?
I had barely even heard of them before a month or two ago. I didn't book anything, until we are a little more settled. I can't book anything, we might just end up canceling again.
I wonder if it really is too late to jump on a plane and head on over???
