I have been on a happy/sad roller coaster this past two weeks!
I was in a car wreck last Monday- the other driver was at fault. I'm fine after a week but my poor 2001 RAV4 did not make it! Now I don't have a truck to tow my trailer so DH and I are in a pickle! The other driver's insurance still has not accepted liability and they are dragging their feet! Grrrrr! This is my first accident and I am amazed at how unorganized the whole process is turning out to be.
I have a rental but of course I can't tow anything with the rental and I can't fit our tent poles (2 7' 4x4s) in the silly rental car! So it came down to spending waaaaay too much for a hotel room on site or camping in a 4person tent for a week. No way I'm spending my disneymoon sleeping on the ground! I decided to go ahead and purchase a new 1010 RAV4 and because I'm 30 and I plan to drive it until it dies I wanted my dream SUV- a specific color with some upgrades. Lucky me the dealer called around and one was being made in Canada! Before it went into production I was able to have them add the upgrades- heated leather seats (a must in cold Ohio!) and an ipod docking station. But now I'm in a pickle. I don't know if the car will clear customs in Chicago in time to take it to uhaul and have the hitch installed. So I called up Disney and got our dates pushed back by a few days. No problems- except for the dining. My dinner reservation at the Crystal Palace is now a lunch reservation- a real bummer for DH and I.
Its going to come down to the wire if we make it in on the 12th- or if I have to push back our trip by a few more days. I just hope FW has room for us if we have to push our Disneymoon back to the week of the 25th! Not exactly how I wanted my Dec to go but any trip is better than none!
