Okay, now all caught up -- last I heard you were still checking out the new bag, and waiting for shoes. SO now I see that the bag that was "meh" was $74.00
Yes that would be a big NO in my book too, way too much for something you don't like. RE the Teva's so that was a bust but you can carry on. Did you adjust the straps on the Teva Sandals? It may be that the feel of a strap sandal is not something your feet are used to after being in Crocs so much? If not, fine. You go with what is best, and don't keep stuff just because. RE the bag off the Disney site, unless you are 100% sure, I think you should just hold off, vs. spend money on shipping for something you are uncertain about. I would say take that day/time you have AT Disney when you are between Jen and your mom, and maybe you will find something you like, in person!? That new boutique in DTD? It sounds like a cool place!
And I liked your idea about bringing the cargo sling and the hipster -- lighten the load a few days! Great thinking.
Also, I love the photos of Norway and you silly LL pickies! My DS just came home from school with a Viking Gods and Legends book -- don't ask me why?!? Which made me laugh. Maelstrom here we come!!!
Lastly, SMILE BIG Disney in a week!
