Hey, just started reading your ptr. I cannot believe you have to plan for that many people!!!

But I'm so jealous that you're going so soon! Back to read more.

Glad you got the time off straightened out at work. I'm enjoying your pre-trip report so far. Great pics and stuff! 14 people?! Oh my! I'm driving myself crazy just trying to figure out things with a group of 4 Whatever you decide, have a great trip with your husband soon or in May! If you don't mind me asking (because I'm a nosey one), where are you staying in the Bahamas?!

I vote for May and either GF or AKL.

Next post coming in soon, you'll find out which dates I picked

I checked online and the I tried to book the CSR it let me put my credit card info and the auth doesnt go thru, i called them and they told me there are no rooms.

I could get time off for both trip because I'm working a half day on the day I leave for the bahamas and I'm only taking a full day off when I return. My boss is fine with that.I will let you know what dates I picked on my next post.

Thanks i'm happy that I get to go on a trip with just DH and I before going to are big family trip in July. I'm going on a cruise to bahamas that leaves from the port of miami, It's going to be 10 of us going and it wasnt that expensive on $270 per person from friday afternoon till Monday afternoon. And it includes everything food, room, drinks, spa, and more. I can't wait.

So today we are having a meeting for are big family trip at my house at 8, which will also turn into a movie night opcorn:: . My sis came down to visit so everyone going on the trip will be attending. I have everything planned and the Disney DVD came in the mail yesterday so I plan on showing that. We have to decided on parks, what time we should leave on are departure day and so on. I already know they will be a lot of people talking over each other, my sis and cousin will work my last nerve since they are good at doing that, DH will ask the same question like 5 times, and so on. I already have an itinerary planned out but I want to make sure everyone is cool with it. I will put the itinerary up tomorrow


I woke up at 6 this morning to start plan DH and I march trip. And it seems like something must be going on in March because a lot of places are booked. But I’m still looking.

I have to do and clean the house so I’ll be on and off throughout the day. So have a good morning everyone

I truly envy the Disers who can get a family together to plan a trip. My family sucks all the joy out of planning a trip to the point that it makes me afraid to say "Disney" or "Disney World".

So what dates did you pick?

Sorry for the long delay, it been rough since my last update. DH two friends were shoot and killed last week , and one of them is Macallans brother. Macallan is one of the people going on the big family trip in July. It’s been really hard for us, he attended are trip last year in May, he was really quite but fun to be around and he had so much fun when we went last time its just sad how he lost his life. His funeral is going to be on the Saturday the 19th, which would have been the week that DH and I were planning to go to Disney. So DH told me to book a resort for May 1st to May 7th because that was around the time that we all went with his friend last year so this trip will be dedicated to him. I looked on line and the hotel we booked was SSR but I seen an opening for Boardwalk today so I might book that instead.

So on a happier note I did some shopping online at disneyshopping.com I got me this really nice shirt :

I’m was planning on wearing this with Bermuda shorts and these crocs:

It should be cute right? What do you guys think?

I also do hair on the side so the day before we leave I have 4 heads to do after work, which will take long because I have to sew in extensions and that can take at least an hour and a half. If you look at my default pic I did my own hair and all of that is extensions except the top. If you want to see the work I did on my hair I will post pic if you want.

This weekend is my dads Celebration of life party , so I have to cook and decorate the church. You see my dad is a pastor (yes I am a pastor daughter and no not everything you hear about pastor kids are NOT true ). Any who last year my dad was diagnose with cancer and was in the hospital for 2 months and it was really hard for me and my family especially me because I’m a daddy girl. So we prayed and prayed and he started to get better the Chemo was working. So in my culture (I’m Haitian) when ever someone is sick and they get better we have a celebration of life party to thank god and everyone who prayed for us. I’m really happy because a lot of my cousins from Haiti, France, Canada, New York and Orlando too will be there and I can’t wait to see them. My brother is also coming he’s in the Navy stationed in Hawaii so we don’t see him often. Sorry for going on and on and on but it’s been a while since I posted.

Thanks to everyone that’s been reading and all you lurkers please come out I wont bite and I’m not crazy wellllllll maybe a little.

I am so sorry about your friends. That is so sad. I think it's great that you & your husband are still going to WDW but dedicating it to him. That shirt you bought is really cute. I looked at it online, but I wasn't sure how it would fit. I may have to order it now.

 

[scottny]

Thanks for joining, I just hope I dont lose my mind after the trip is over

That's a better time to lose your mind. You don't want to do that during your trip do ya?

 

[Jamie77]

I was new and I didnt know who to turn to or if someone would even listen to me, but now i know so I'm pretty sure It wont happen again.

He's a total jerk I told her to tell him that I was paying for everything so he wouldnt know she'e spending her money, and you know what that ________________________ (fill in the blanks). He say's NO!!!. what a ______________________________________ (fill in the blank).

I agree with your DH. Something is behind that. They must have had a fight and this is his way of getting back at her. That's real mature.

 

[Pryncesa]

So sorry to hear about your friends. But, very happy to hear your dad is doing better and you all are celebrating it. That's awesome!
