A Surprise January 2012 Vacation!!! TRIP REPORT has begun!!

[BMC423]

I will finally reply...SORRY! I was reading along but not posting back cause well it was just chaos over here getting ready for Christmas.

I love your Viking story that is so funny! I'll make sure to check out that perfume next time I go over there (I've never seen it). It was very sweet of Ferb to buy you a bottle, and look at all the autographed swag you got with it!

Please tell me that you have more pictures of the cruise ship... I'm hoping to convince my hubby that it would be nice to go on one... so far I'm not getting very far lol!

One week and one day!!! Time went by soo fast! How fortunate that your cousin will be able to take your girls. I can't wait to read your TR and see how excited your girls get when they find.

Are you planning to do a live report?

I'm glad to hear your uncle is doing well.

Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas, and that Santa was great to you guys!

Once you see the look on the faces of the girls when you surprise them then all the sneaking around will be worth it

Fingers crossed for the weather. The cold doesn't bother me just hoping it's not windy and rainy. 6 Days for us

I'm with you for sure! It's not the temps I'm concerned with...just won't be comfortable if it's damp and rainy. How are your handling the fact that you have less than a week to go?

Hey, no worries...everyone has been going crazy with Xmas!!! Hope you all had a nice Christmas. It's one week and I am trying not to jump out of my skin....I need to act all normal around the girls! I will be trying to update every day from the condo because it has wifi and we will have our netbook. We'll see how that goes...you know, best laid plans.....

We will definitely have footage of the reveal to show..whether that will be posted while we are there or if we have to wait until we get home only Ferb would know. He's my IT dept!

Stay calm. Breath...

I'm breathing...in and out, in and out!

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

I would like to wish everyone a very

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!



Everyone, please stay safe and have fun celebrating! I am working, of course, but Ferb and I will be using the time we have this weekend wisely and packing!

5 DAYS!!!!

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

Okay, folks it's down to the wire!!
2 DAYS!!!


I apologize for being MIA...it's been so crazy working over the holidays and trying to find time to sleep and pack and then pull together all the last minute details. Plus, we had to go pick up the girls a day early from my cousin because a huge snow storm was coming off the lakes and we wouldn't be able to get them until Tues at the earliest if we waited. Thankfully, we had gotten our packing finished on Sat. So, it's been a whirlwind of work and packing and driving and lack of sleep. BUT!!! It's my Fri and Ferb is off now and we are pretty well set for packing and last minute stuff.
We made a decision on how to handle the surprise reveal. Because we have to drive across the international border we decided to do the reveal at home that morning. The plan is to sit them down with their breakfast and pipe in some POC music and come out with our POC mickey ears on and play a little "What do you want to do today?" Game with them....if it turns out well, or at least funny, we will post it as soon as possible!

 

[BMC423]

Thats sounds Awesome! Can't wait to see pics of the reveal. I think it a good idea that you decided to do it at home, cause what if you had one those nasty border people...

2 DAYS!!!! That is sooooo exciting. I'm excited for you guys! And really looking forward to seeing how the girls react to the big reveal! You guys are going to have so much fun! 15 days until we leave for our vacation.

Hope you get in an update before you leave!

 

[OziJo]

Sooo exciting isn't it!!! Will try and check in just to see how the surprise went with the girls.

Looking forward to exchanging TR's when we get back. Have a safe journey and a fantastic holiday. You deserve it!!

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

O! M! G!

ONE DAY!!!!



We are freaking out trying to finish all the last minute things with the girls around!! We have almost been caught so many times...
I have been doing laundry and cleaning as much as I can and trying to make up for losing Sunday to finish things up. Ferb printed our park bag tags and we are trying to get them ready on the sly...I have been finalizing our carry ons and making sure we have everything we need. It's been soooo hard!

But, I think we are doing quite well..all things considered. We will be setting the clocks ahead tonight and when the girls are in bed I will finish packing our carry-ons and getting the last stragglers in their places. Then we will be taking some good drugs to help us sleep! Other wise it won't be happening!

I'm watching the clock right now for our time to check in online for our flight....7 minutes and counting!
I will probably post one more time tonight....

 

[lledman]

how exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Colleen27]

Have a great trip!!

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

Thanks to everyone here that stuck with our PTR! We are leaving in the morning....the girls never found out today even though there were WAY too many opportunities! We are all packed and ready to go...Ferb and I are so excited that we are now having our infamous stomach issues! Drugs are definitely in order for more than one reason!

I will be taking notes and reporting as often as possible...we have wifi in our condo so we are taking our netbook. Hopefully the reveal will be worth watching!

We'll be up at 6 to get ready and drag the girls out of bed and then hopefully out the door and on the road by 8! Night night!!

Hope it went well! You should be on your way by now, will check back to see how the reveal goes! Enjoy!

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

So we are sitting at the airport and have a long wait ahead of us...we got up this morning and everything went so smoothly that we are hear WAY early! The surprise went really well...I haven't had a chance to watch it...hopefully it recorded well.
The girls were really surprised and sooooo excited!
We are all really pumped..just gotta get through this travel day...our plane is delayed 10 minutes so far...not too bad for January in Buffalo!:

I'll be back with more updates further into our journey!!

 

[LindaBabe]

Are you there yet?

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

We are home...have been for a couple of days, just been busy with laundry and school and stuff. The weather is crappy here...we got home just in time to beat the storm by a few hours... Gonna start on a TR soon...gotta get some stuff organized first...
Most importantly, the surprise worked....our trip was awesome, well, minus the bugs....

But, you'll have to wait for the TR to find it all out!! Cliffhangers are awesome, aren't they?

 

[BMC423]

WELCOME BACK!!!
Can't wait till you start your trip report. Did you say bugs????

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

And so it begins...a story filled with fun, fine weather, food and yes, unfortunately BUGS!!!! So, won't you join us...
