I just talked to my mom about the bags, and she got them at Wal-Mart. They are called Pack Mates and they are in the section with storage/Rubbermaid containers. Here they are online to give you an idea of what to look for: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10740617

Bummer about you getting sick!! I hope you start feeling better soon so you feel great for your trip! Keep your spirits up, you are GOING TO DISNEY!! The humidity will clear your nasal passages.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip Thanks--I'm not 100% well, but I feel a TON better!

What is the scotchgaurd supposed to do?
Oh and by the way the non-for profit I work for won the award last night. The Frist Center's Excellence award in Making a Difference..it's a big deal!! We got $20,000 for our organization!! So i am on top of the world!! Then in just a few days we'll be in "The World"!!!
I pray you are feeling better!!!

Scotchguard seals the rain out... We spray all of our coats and shoes and stuff for snow skiing--it works miracles! Last night, Michael sprayed our bags and shoes. Hopefully it'll keep the rain out and our stuff dry YAY!!!! Congrats!!! That's so exciting! I know--can you believe we'll be there SOOOO soon?!?! Thanks--I am.

I just wanted to say.....



I'm going to be at Disney World in TWO DAYS!!!!!!







I really can't wait!




And everything is being checked off the to-do list quite nicely!


Last night, we finished packing all of our clothes (we have a lot of room left in the big suitcase and it's under the 50 lb limit ). We packed as much as we could on our carry-ons (we have to add books, electronics, toothbrushes, etc) and Michael Scotchguarded our bags and shoes.

It really is sinking in that in two days from right now, we'll be on a plane to DISNEY WORLD!


I think I forgot to mention this, but I was able to check in online through the website haleofafamily posted about (thanks)! Today, I'm re-looking at our flight info, getting together addresses we'll need for postcards, and calling the bank to raise the limit on our debit card (to pay for the meal plan, etc.).

Tonight, we're going to clean the house a little, put our stuff in the Scotchguarded bags (they had to dry all day today), and get to bed early.

Tomorrow, we'll sleep in as late as we can (which gets earlier and earlier all the time ) and then head down to Dallas. We're meeting my cousin (who is also one of my best friends!) for lunch at Cheddar's (Michael and I LOVE the honey butter croissants ) and then heading to my Aunt's house for the night. My cousin and her two girls are living with my aunt for a while, so it'll be a lot of fun to spend time with them! The girls are adorable! We'll get in bed early since the next day...

We'll wake up around 5 to get ready to head to the airport!!!!! Even though it's super early to be getting up, I'm so glad we got an early flight! This means we'll be in Orlando by 11:15! Hopefully we'll be delay-free, and we'll be on our way to DISNEY WORLD on the DME!

And that, my friends, will start the beginning of our 1st Ever Trip as Mr. and Mrs. to the World!

Well, it's getting closer and closer!

I called the bank and upped our daily debit limit.
And re-checked the airline stuff.
Michael bought postcard stamps and I got addresses all set.
I cleaned off my camera card and Michael cleaned off the video camera card--so we're set and ready to take pictures/videos like maniacs
I also updated the music on my iPod/added the 3 new CDs I bought (I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but I bought The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast online for less than $4 a piece!! ).

We played 2 rounds of Disney Scene-It (Michael beat me both times...why can't I roll anything but a 1 or 2?! )
And then we played Monopoly while we had a Disney Sing-Along! I can't say it was the best singing ever, but we had fun--oh, and the interpretive dance moves were out of this world

Michael just brought our Scotchguarded things back in, and I'm about to start putting the last items (besides our toothbrushes, etc) into the carry-ons!

AHHHHHHH!!!!!! I can't believe it's actually almost time!!!!!


That's all for now--just wanted to give you all a quick update on how things are moving along

 

[jenjolt]

Staci!!!! WOOT!!! I'm so excited for you!!! Your to-do list must be getting shorter and shorter!!! You had a great Disney filled evening, and pretty soon you'll be in the Happiest Place on Earth!! I wish you the best trip ever!!!

Speaking of Disney related things to listen too...I downloaded 4 podcasts that I'm going to put on to my MP3 player to listen on the drive...at an hour a piece that makes up half the drive with Disney related goodness LOL!

 

[jenny105]
