[carissanboys]

Hi Jess

It's almost time!! What a wonderful trip you have planned. I'm so excited for you. And your experience as a CM sounds so neat

I lived in Alice Springs for 3 years (2003-2006) and we visited Sydney for a few days. I adore Australia and really, really miss it.

Alice Springs for 3 years
I couldn't imagine spending that much time there. HOT HOT HOT

Mind you I have never been to Alice Springs, it's funny I live in OZ and haven't been to Alice Springs/Ayers Rock ever, yet I have travelled the world, lived in New York

I wonder if Jess has visited Alice Springs.
Glad you liked OZ, it is a beautiful country and we would love you to come back again soon Wouldn't we Jess

Jess and I have become friends after meeting on the Dis and I can say that girl loves Disney and the States, thanks for having us, we are both really looking forward to visiting your wonderful country again.

It's funny because I met so many Aussies who had never been to Alice Springs or Uluru (we went once) or Western Australia either. I loved Western Australia.

Alice Springs was wonderful in the winter (although, you can't really call THAT winter ). June - August was my favorite. The flies were gone, the nights/mornings were chilly, but the days were lovely. I loved the small town feeling. I'd move back in a heartbeat though. I was homesick for the Alice for a year after moving back.

Yes I am one of those Aussies that haven't been to Western Australia either, I would love to go, but I just don't seem to find the time, it seems a long way away. Doesn't make sense Once my kids are older, we are planning on doing a big trip around Oz, without them
I have probably seen more of the US than I have of OZ.

Sorry Jess, Hope you don't mind.

How long will it take you to get to Florida?

 

[downunder]

well it is 3 hours to New Zealand... 2 hour stop over......12 hourts to Los Angeles. we opted to stya at the airport the night instead of waiting the 8 hour stop over at the airport... then we fly from LA to Orlando the next morning (5 hours)..

all up i think it is 20 hours flying time and pretty much 2 days travelling time.

DOes that account for the time zone changes too? That is a long time in the air. I hope you have first class seats. Oh well, I guess Disney is worth it though. Have a great trip. Now go night night and get some rest

Hi Everyone!!!

Well I made it! (well to Orlando that is)I am currently in Orlando and we are goiing to Islands of Adventure today.

Had a very long 2 days of flying and had a great night in LAX. We went to the Disney Soda FOuntain Store in LAX!!! I loved it.

The weather is in the low 80's and i am waiting for murray to get up!

I am so excited
Talk soon
Jess

 

[DL55]

you made it. Now go have some fun!

 

[downunder]

Well i am home safe and sound. The trip was everything i imagine and more. We had a truely magical time. Now i am panicing how to write this TR

Disneyworld was so much fun. 10 days was definately not enough time. The disney wonder was amazing and far more than i imagine. It was amazing.I loved every minute of it and wish it was longer.

Disneyland was fun, i only wish we had more than 2 days. Disneyland is definately a better park than the Magic Kingdom.

ALL the meals (TS and CS) we had were amazing Thanks for all the great advice. Le Cellier was the best meal of the trip!!!

talk soon, I cant wait to share all of my experiences with you!
Jess
