Okay now for a bit about our vacation. I have pictures but will have to post them later.

Liz did eventually get home and we made it to our hotel in Detroit just fine although fairly late.

The next morning it was up and off to the airport. The flight was uneventful and we arrived about 10 ish.

I didn't know ahead of time that Thrifty Car Rental is no longer off site, so we were looking for the shuttle which does not exist anymore

Once we figured it out, we got our lovely little blue Dodge Caliber and we were off to the Florida Mall to pass some time.

We had lunch and got our shopping done and headed to our timeshare villa.

It was very nice and the people there were friendly.

The next morning we were heading off to enjoy the parks....... well, that's what we had planned to do. Did not happen.

Liz had had a cold during her first few weeks at camp and thought it was turning into bronchitis which happens regularly for her. So she was coughing a bit.

That morning she got up and started to cough and then couldn't breathe She was gasping and wheezing, very scary stuff.

She used her puffer that she fortunately had with her........ used 10 puffs which is not good.

I seriously thought about calling an ambulance but decided to drive her to the Celebration Hospital about 5 minutes away.

She received very good care there, bloodwork, iv fluids, chest xrays, etc and eventually they did diagnose her with bronchitis although I think the triage nurse thought she had the "swine flu". She was tested for that and she did not test positive.

Unfortunately though she has been exposed because kids at camp have had it.

So after all that excitement she was very tired and not her normal self for the rest of the week. She tired real easy and we had to take things very slowly.

So with that, the extreme heat and the crowds it was not the most ideal of vacations.

I have never seen so many tour groups at Disney at one time before. Seemed like thousands of them

I will post the few pictures that I did manage to take later.

Going to spend some time with my Mom this afternoon.

Happy Wednesday DWDQ's

Kelly ~ I'm pleased that you had a lovely birthday, what did you get ?

Robin ~ How's Liz now ? Is she a lot better ? I hope so Have you downloaded your photos yet ? I'm looking forward to seeing them

Betsy ~ I hope you had a lovely wedding anniversary, did you do anything nice to celebrate it ?

Nothing exciting going on over here. I popped into town this morning, and I've got a meeting with Paul this afternoon

Have a great day girls

 

[Cruisin]

Morning ladies.

I have no idea how Liz is feeling now

She went back to camp on Sunday and I haven't heard from her at all.

So I'm just going with the theory that she is feeling better

I have my pictures on the computer I just need to upload them to photobucket and then post them.

I don't have a ton of them but hopefully I will get to them sometime this week.

I have no set plans for today but we really need some food in this house.

Supposed to rain for the rest of the week

 

[disallday!]

Kelly ~ I'm pleased that you had a lovely birthday, what did you get ?

Thanks CW & the kids got me alot of things I asked for my garden... a nice birdbath, a Lotus (beautiful pond plant), some hanging baskets and a koi fish. His sister got me a japanese maple tree and his mom and dad bought me some finch feeders and whatnots...

It was a great day... I get to celebrate my birthday with my side of the family this Sunday!

Hope you enjoyed your meet with Paul earlier! Tell him we said hello!

Robin, no news is good news! I'm sure she's doing well, just sorry to hear she got sick during her vacation! I'll be visiting the grocery store this afternoon... the kids are complaining there is nothing to eat in the house. They'll still say that after I've been to the store

 

[Cruisin]

I didn't make it to the store today.

I had a major lack of ambition today

Maybe tomorrow

 

[disallday!]

Me neither Robin!! Trying again this afternoon!

 

[mandymouse]

Hey DWDQ's

I hope you're all having a nice day

I've had a lovely day with the girls again. We took the train to Leicester and had a wander around the shops. I didn't buy anything (not that I needed anything anyway ), Kerry was disappointed not to find anything (though she does tend to buy herself something nearly every week - teens eh ? ), and Becky bought herself a grey vest top and a Minnie Mouse cropped t-shirt and I bought her a dress for her holiday

We had a delish Chinese all you can eat buffet for lunch, and generally just had a lovely time together

Enjoy the rest of the day girls

 

[Cruisin]

I didn't make it to the store again today

Gives me something to strive for tomorrow

I've got some pictures uploaded to photobucket and now to take the time to post them here.

I will get to it. I promise

 

[disallday!]

Mandy, sounds like you had a very nice, relaxing time with the girls! Are you all getting excited about your trip? How much have you packed already?

Oh no Robin, I beat you to the store! I didn't get a whole lot of food, just made sure the kids had plenty of food unitl I could commit an hour at the grocery store... at least Chad & Carolin are happy!

I don't know if my countdown ticker is stuck or if I'm just ready for vacation... I'll have to check on it.

No big plans this weekend other than bday party for me and two of my sisters. We try to celebrate more than one at a time since family is so big.

Have a great weekend all!!

 

[disallday!]

Just in case I forget tomorrow...

Happy Birthday Betsy!!​

Sorry it's a little early!

[Dalpal]

Hello ladies

Thanks you for the birthday wishes....
I dont really have any plans for tomorrow...I have to work from 8-12..and we thought about going kayaking in the afternoon..But the weather has been so iffy, that we figured we'd just wait and see...

I had a day off today and really enjoyed it..I went to visit my mom. I havent been able too for quite a while, with all my working...and I was really missing her..we went to lunch and then back, but it was good to spend some time with her again..and now that I have a reg. schedule I can go more often.

Well Have a good weekend...

TTFN

Okay here they are....... some pictures from my Florida vacation.

Not exactly exciting pictures but hey, what did you expect

First some pictures from our timeshare, Westgate Vacation Villas. Just off 192 in Kissimmee, very close to Disney property. About 5 minutes from Celebration.

 

[Cruisin]

My poor sick baby

feeling well enough again to eat poptarts

Back "home" again, sleeping it off.

Random pictures:

hidden Mickey:

Had the tram all to ourselves mid day at the Magic Kingdom:

fancy dessert we had at the new T-Rex place at Downtown Disney... extremely expensive dessert I didn't ask the price before we ordered it

Liz somehow managed to max out the points on the Buzzlightyear ride She has no idea what she hit but I know she hit several different very large point spots.
