We did it!! We used Priceline bid process and got the Hilton Daytona Beach for $80/night!! Very cool!

Now to replan the laundry schedule and tomorrow I need to reschedule mine and dd's pedicures... hopefully it won't be a problem to do them a day early. I can't decide if I'm excited an apprehensive LOL

That is awesome! The Hilton was so expensive when I checked (over $120 I want to say) I was like forget it we'll just go to Orlando where we know what to expect.....but if I had your price we would have tried Daytona! I thought Kayak had the best prices- Ill have to try Priceline next time. Trip Adviser also had higher prices.

Hi guys! Back home from a fantastic week away and my to do list has grown exponentially! We walked an average of 8 miles a day in London and I am rethinking shoes and bags for everyone lol.

As for the above, I'm secretly dreaming of Aug 2014....we have a lot of other plans and DS17 will be heading off to college, but I'm in for keeping up with the group and seeing what happens!

Now I need to actually go catch up with both this thread and the fb group to see what you guys have been up to!

That's funny! I had to sneak mine on only for a second... We are hiding from the kids until we tell them about the trip tomorrow night at dinner... I am sure my youngest DD will want to do the same!

My husband, although sometimes I think about it! (;
Seriously, I'd be a wreck without my phone. It has everything on it!

 

[thetorit]

So my family is STILL sending me news reports to freak me out. The death that happened at Six Flags occurred on the only ride my husband went on when we went there for our "honeymoon" (we planned a weekend trip and decided a couple days before we were supposed to leave to just get married then. Told you I carpe the crap out of the diem) so my family kept saying they hope it's not a sign. So I decided to send them a clip from Sharknado and told them that's what they should be afraid of. Sheesh!
4 weeks til I'm in my (disaster free) happy place!

You will be fine!! It's hard not to take these things personally or as a "sign" when you are close to traveling, but when you think about it, these types of things do happen all the time and they have nothing to do with you. Or the hundreds of people you know. Or the thousands in your town. Or the millions who visit WDW each year. Along with your husband, millions of other people went on that ride too...surely it's not a sign for everyone!

It's easy to get yourself in a panic, but try to talk about your fears - it will help. We were leaving London last night, and of course I had ignored news all week and then caught a glimpse of the SW flight at LaGuardia and the train wreck in Spain (not sure if that made news here), and got that little knot in my stomach. Then we taxied out right on time, and waited. And waited. And waited. 45 minutes later they brought us back to the gate to "re-fuel" Um, . Next thing there were those guys with the yellow jackets and walkie talkies going up and down the aisles of the plane. Then a truck pulled up and eventually removed a red suitcase. They wheeled it away from the plane, we finished "re-fueling" and then almost two hours later, we taxied back out. Yes, I was beginning to panic. I could have let it build...instead I turned to DW, who reminded me the delay was to ensure our safety, not hinder it, and she was able to totally calm me down. So find someone who does't buy into this nonsense - whether it's your DH or a friend, and when they start in, let that person (or us!) talk you off that ledge!

Same... I have to bring my own pillow. My DH says I should leave it home this year so we have more room in our suitcase, but I can't do it. I sleep bad enough on vacation as it is.
