I appreciate the kind thoughts of the Disboarders!!!!!
Yes we leave next Saturday night from Perth via Brisbane to LAX. A short flight to Vegas with 7 nights at the Luxor before a few days with the in laws who live a couple of hours outside of Vegas. A 3 week roadtrip through the National Parks of the West (Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, North Cascades,Olympia, Mt Rainier, Crater Lake, Lassen Volcanic, Yosemite, Zion and Bryce). Upon arrival back in Vegas we fly to Orlando for 10 days at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Our family is Me, the bloke at 43, The Boss....she's 40, and the Big Boss...well she's going to celebrate her 3rd birthday with her Grandma. The temperatures are touching an average of 43C in Vegas. The in laws home base touched 47C last weekend, and Orlando is sitting on the low 30'sC with the usual intense humidity. By the time we get there to Orlando on the 28th August, hopefully the temps may be a touch cooler, but the humidity will still be way up there.
But I wouldn't have it any other way. As we all know, the Disney holidays are magic for creating memories for ourselves and our youngsters for the years to come. As DVC members, they are our major overseas destination. We therefore limit our travel outside our US trips to allow us stateside trips every couple of years.
We are indeed fortunate and blessed. Who knows if I get my you know what together I may well try and do a trip report for the 6 weeks.....if people are interested and if I can work out how!!
