MY DH always packs the night before we leave - it drives me nuts !!

We don't have that option because K wants to pack the car the night before we leave I wish he would just let me pack for him, he's never been to FL or on a plane so he's under the impression he can pack everything he owns in 6 suitcases and be fine... he could do that if he wants to pay the extra money for the other checked bagsss

Almost 1 week!

I am SO excited!


updatee!
Saturday is DBFs brothers coming home party! Were going to sams club early to get food for the party and im shopping for food for Disney for the week! Im so exciteddddd!

I realized I WAYYYY over packed so yesterday I sat in the middle on my living room floor and unpacked and repacked and unpacked and packed again and now im down to a reasonable amount of clothes

DBF still has yet to pack . But I gave him more room so I can use a whole suitcase for food (if not needed we can add clothes to it obv )

Im starting to go crazy! Im so excited and its so soon! At the suggestion of Msslaydbug im going to try and take pictures of the party Saturday (i have no camera! ) so ill do what i can!


8 daysssssssssss!

I FORGOT TO TELL YOU!

DBFs sister got engaged!!! To this wonderful guy named Jack!

He wasnt planning on going to disney with us but he bought a plane ticket on monday! so our touring group will be 10 now! oh im so excited!!

 

[mom3sonstt]

Congratulations on: your 1 year anniversary
the DBFs DS's(Did I get that right?) engagement
having D back home
your upcoming Disney trip........


Much Thanks to D for his service - I have a Navy step-son who was on a 6 month deployment at the start of this - had it extended to a little over 9 months. Once he got home it was his "turn" for shore duty so fortunately he hasn't had to go back....yet


And I totally sympathize with your need to plan and the frustration of not having anybody willing to plan with you. We have a trip scheduled for August. It will be me, dH my 3 teen-age boys, one extra teen-age boy and a few days into the trip another couple will be coming down that we will be spending time with. Nobody except me wants to make any plans - and I don't want to presume to make plans for them because it will be the first trip for the extra kid and for the other couple. Besides I am uncomfortable telling people where to go and when to eat. I'm getting fidgety about it, though and really want something that I can write in my notebook!!

Enjoy your trip!!!!

SOOO This is some drama!

DBFs brothers girlfriend (the one who sucks) went to her ex boyfriends house and stayed the night and now DBFs brother is clearly pissed and now I dont think shes going!

its terrible of me to not want her to go but she doesnt deserve the trip and im glad shes not going and DBFs sister is bringing her fiance


6daysss!

 

[ericamcl]

hiya!

i've been reading your TR and just had to comment that i am glad to read that i am NOT the only person with family drama involved in a group Disney trip...LOL

we're headed with my whole family in october for my nephew's birthday and boy is it getting complicated!

 

[megveg]

I feel terrible that Im neglecting you guys!

Im stressing about packing because DBF hasnt even started yet and he has to be done and set by thursday.

DBFs sisters Fiance got his plane ticket and hes scheduled to leave Logan at 6:30pm! DBFs SIL (the master planner) looked up earleir flights (to fly standby) and theres one that leaves at 9:50a that arrives the same time as ours so that would be PERFECT if he could get on that flight.

Still not definate on A coming or not, as magic 8 ball would say "sources point to no". J has been really bummed about the whole situation and I feel terrible. At D's party, it was DBF&I and DBFs sister&her fiance, then J. He kept initiating conversation with me and I felt so bad because he would usually talk to A. Im worried about whats going to happen for the P&PP. J doesnt have a ticket and everyone else going does. I automatically was like OH ILL BUY IT because thats just how I am, hes been through some tough stuff this week and its in my nature to just fix stuff, but i cant afford it i just want to give give give and help help help and when I cant i feel terrible


well thats the update for now, im picking up my friends camera to borrow on thursday so ill take pictures of Me and DBF and our luggage and other crrazy things! lol

 

[megveg]

So my friend said she lost the charger to her camera so thats out but good news is Dad got a memory card for Mom's camera so I'm taking that.

Tomorrow is step one! After grad rehersal at school, I'm off to spend the night at DBFs house (tonight is the last night sleeping at homee!!!!) then Friday during the day is laundry for DBF and then spending the night at D&K's house!

ITS SO SOON but really really farrrrr!! I'm STILL messing around with packing. First I had 90% carry on 10% checked bag but now everything is in my carry on, but if I can check everyhting comfortably that would make my day but I cant judge if there will be enough room I'd rather fly with just my phone, cash and a snack then a carry on but we'll see!

Im getting so so excited but theres nothing to pass the time then countless hours on the DIS! maybe when mom gets home ill get her camera and snap pictures of my luggage lol

Off to mess around with luggage and spray tan later!

 

[Hedy]

Good luck packing!

 

[megveg]

Good luck packing!

thanks! im gonna need it!

 

[megveg]

LUGGAGGEEEE

please ignore how dirty and loved those flip flops are! haha

Good news! DBFs sister said she had extra space bags and we could use them! Thank godddd I have like no room for DBFs stuff

Tonight we go to DBFs house to get him packed, then tomorrow night everyone is sleeping at DBFs SILs house! IM SO EXCITED

still no word on A going... urgg


here I am! After a spray tan last night I feel all vacationyy!!

this is cute!

 

[megveg]

okay weve hit a snag.

DBFs sisters car broke down so now we need to find another way to the airport. My mom said she would drive which would make me most comfortable but she's not so good with travelling around airports.

The other option is Logan Express. Logan Express costs $22 roudn trip per adult, and my mom driving is free haha. I feel like if we take Logan Express, I'm all on my own and I'll have a nervous breakdown where if my mom drives I can relax the way there.

:/ i dunnoo

 

[Hedy]

How about a)cab
b)shuttle service
c)the T

If you post on the Transportation board, there are a bunch of BOS natives who might be able to help.

Logan Express is the cheapest option from where we are.

im just stressing now cuz everything was all set and now its screwed up and im flipping out well miss our flight and everything! if it were up to me i would drive DBF and I there, but parking my car for a week is Soooo expensive

 

[megveg]

I just checked in online! We are now within the 24 hour mark! This time tomorrow morning we'll (hopefully) be in the air over Boston and on the way to the House of Mouse!

Im so excited, tonight is packing for DBF, space bagging everything and hopefully getting everything all set and the car parked tonight (moms driving us). I cant wait I have no idea how I'm going to go through the day. Im going to be on the DIS all day because I wont have a chance tomorrow (well maybe ill pop on while DBF is getting ready or something!)

Thanks to everyone who jumped on! I will not let you down with a TR!

 

[megveg]

Im leaving TODAY!

Its almost 6am here and I'm about to go shower and get ready to head to the airport! Thanks to everyone who was here with me and I'll be sure to see you guys when I get back!!

 

[Msslaydbug]

You'll love it here ! We are still enjoying our stay here at SOG !!

 

[jmskinner]

Enjoy your trip! Looking forward to that trip report!
