1) USPS is cheaperForecast for this TR at the moment? Sound like a couple of bumpy hiccoughs are scheduled along the way.
What made you choose USPS for mailing packages and not UPS or FedEx?
Um... would it be awful of me to say no??Nice pictures!
Not that I'm complaining....any chance of them being a little bit bigger? My old fogie eyes are no longer what they once were....
1) USPS is cheaper
2) The post office is under attack as a failing business when in fact it is not. There is red tape involved and that's all I'll say for fear of getting my TR shut down for politics!
3) Every time I've sent something UPS over the last 10 years, the packages have been dented, destroyed, not taken care of.
4) I've not had a good run with FedEx either. The dealings I've had with them concerning my photography have left a bad taste in my mouth.
USPS is the only group I trust to take care of my items at the moment.

I resized all 308 images to 4x6 at screen resolution. Didn't realize they'd be that small on here... If I change anything it'll sacrifice the integrity of the of image and henceforth suck.
Please forgive me!!!
No problem! There are a few more I could dig out if you'd like.
will be coming VERY soon!
Hi!!!
After my DIS-hiatus I was afraid I'd lose touch with everyone! Glad you popped over.
I'll be heading over to your TR to see how your trip panned out soon.
Been dealing with 2 kids with strep and DH has a sinus infection.
How's your family doing?
We secured airfare for me at the best possible time of day. My flight would leave Indianapolis at 7 a.m. and arrive at MCO around 9:15a. We planned for lunch at 1:00 at San Angel. Providing my flight landed perfectly, Id have time to grab my luggage, get the packages we mailed ahead, then run up to the room, decorate it, then hightail it over to Mexico. We would tell MB that I wasnt going to land until noon and Id have a good amount of time to decorate and get to the park.
Simple, right?:
Not so much
Remember the box headache I alluded to in my last post?
Well we learned the HARD way what NOT to do when shipping boxes to the Walt Disney Property.
We both mailed our packages early in the week after Thanksgiving to make sure we had a good enough buffer for the annual higher volume of mail traffic due to the holidays. We packed our goods and sent them US Mail. I called BWI directly to get on our reservation that we would have some boxes and to PLEASE not let MB, the primary on our reservation, know anything about them.
Once E and MB arrived in Florida and I got confirmation from USPS that my packages had arrived at the Walt Disney World property I called BWI to confirm they made it to the resort. No one had a CLUE as to what I was talking aboutI called the next day and the next a few times. FINALLY I got all the way up to a manager for them to inform me that all USPS mail goes to the central warehouse and not directly to the resort. ONLY UPS and FedEx packages go directly to the resorts.
Luckily a day prior to my arrival, our packages made it out of the central warehouse and over to BWI where they were safely tucked into housekeeping until I was ready to reclaim them.
Sadly though, this wasn't our lone hiccup for arrival day.

I was trying to block that all out.Jenn failed to mention that I was in SeaWorld with my mom while this was happening and I am sneaking off to use the restroom to call and find out all of this is going on... talk about stressful!!! Thankful Jenn held the reins and said not to worry that she would take care of it
It definitely got darker before the light showed up again!
He... yes HE... wants to go for MK's 50th in 10 years and he, yes HE, decided that we'll have to take the kids because they'll be teenagers and he'd, yes HE'D like to have the house still standing by the time we return.
I wouldn't have ANY idea who you would indicate such hanging...Hey Kwitch! Glad you're doing a trippie. Just hope you don't leave us hanging like some people do.....
even with crappy hair. I hate growing hair out.
Last I checked, she's not HANGING per se... she's stuck!
This was the view outside the door of the elevators we used to get to our room.

Looks like fun to me
The girls left their hotel at US/IOA and headed for BWI and this what they checked in to:
Where they drop everyone off:
Front door:
Lobby:
Gingerbread house:
Registration mind you they just checked in and got their KTTW cards they never went up to the room:
Our room prior to the decorating MB never saw this part:
Pretty mediocre, right?
