At last, the countdown is over we fly out today! :cheer2: A little recap, the travellers for the LA leg of the trip are me 34, the Mr 33 and DD 12 off on our first long haul flight and we are all very excited to visit disneyland for the first time! Joining us in Hawaii for our family...

We fly out today!!! Yay! Only another 10hrs before we fly out and a 12 hr flight so it is going to be a looooong day. But we will technically be in Disneyland today (it is Sunday here so we get to experience Sunday twice lol). All packed, about to take the cat & dog to their pet hotel and...

woohoo! today is the day! Fingers crossed you will have your white christmas in NY! :jumping1:

EEK! :scared1: one more sleep! I have sooooo much to do, laundry, packing, cleaning, tidying up the garden etc. I had my interview yesterday for the job I applied for earlier this week. I think it went pretty well, it was easy and chatty for the most part except for one key question that...

From a purely emotional rather than rational level I would pick December in a heartbeat and I would want to be in New York for Christmas. I have visions of it being like all those Christmas movies I watched as a kid :goodvibes

Not that there is much sleeping going on at the moment, at the rate I am going I will be catatonic by the time I get on the plane! I had great plans to be all packed by now and to have the last few things all organised but that hasn't really panned out so far. :rolleyes1 Things on the...

I have some other recommendations for places to eat etc around there from a friend at work so I will post them for you later. It really does sound like there is so much to choose from, we certainly won't be going hungry! :goodvibes

Agree with lots of points here, I think if airlines stopped charging extra for checked baggage a lot of this would stop - I know I would rather check in rather than lug my carry on all over the airport. But for example if I am going somewhere for a long weekend I only need to take a carry on...

14 of us are staying at the embassy suites in waikiki, I'm pretty sure a 1 bedroom suite would sleep 5 easily. They have a floor plan of the different suites on their website. It's a fantastic location for shops and restaurants etc. we did look into renting a house but you'd need a rental...

As another option which I don't think anyone else has discussed, I bought t mobile sims from amazon and had them shipped to our hotel. when we get there we'll activate them online. Fingers crossed it'll all work easily, I'll update after we arrive on sunday :)

At the moment I am swinging between manic excitement and freaking out about what needs to be done in the next 7 days, at this rate I am going to be an absolute wreck by the time I board the plane. :crazy2: So I have gone through and printed everything I need, hotel & transport confirmations...

You are now at the 7 days mark! :cheer2: Those poor little bubbas - imagine the mum of the wee boy with the fractured leg would be quite upset! They are pretty rough getting them out though so it probably happens more often than people realise - I felt like there was a hell of a lot of...

A bit late to this thread, last night we had sauteed sliced chicken & a few slices of hot pepperoni chopped up, added a can of crushed tomatoes and other bits and bobs to make a sauce, poured over cooked pasta topped with mozzarella and baked in the oven. It was yum and a good way to use up...

My first thought was wrapping yourself in tinfoil a la the tinman from wizard of oz ...I love the idea of flowers too

We ended up with the sheraton gateway, which I think is pretty much next to or across the road from the radisson :thumbsup2 - signed up for their loyalty card and scored a good breakfast included rate which I think will come in handy before our non catered flight. I kept umming and aahing...

so apart from packing I think I can now officially say we are all ready for the trip. My dog had her visit at the pet hotel for a few hours today and loved it, I have been really worrying about how she would go while we are away as it is our first trip away without her. It is such a relief to...

I was lucky to check out the new air nz set up before they were released, oh to be able to afford business class - those seats are very comfy! Anyway, the sky couch would be great for 2 kids or even 1 adult and 2 very small children but too small for more than that comfortably really. I looked...

We're going for our first trip in 2 weeks - flying from NZ so I completely understand the expense and distance :faint: We are staying 5 nights at Disneyland Hotel and have 4.5 days at the parks - when I started planning I thought 4 days would be heaps but as I've gotten a bit more in depth with...

So we are at the 2 weeks to go mark and I am pleased to say virtually everything is done, just need the Mr to take the dog for her orientation at the pet hotel tomorrow and pack our bags which will need to wait until the last couple of days. Work on the other hand is an absolute mad house but...

there are good deals on at the mo for black friday, am about to checkout my order - lets hope it makes it to DLH and not Memphis :bitelip:
