How's the weather? My pool was 92 yesterday...! Ready to cool off

Are you asking me ....it has been raining on and off...I see that on Tuesday we are having thunderstorms in Vancouver...hope it does not rain for the sail away party....

Billie and Branden went to a late movie to see Transformers again...there is a cinema 8 right in the village...Harry Potter comes out tonight and folks were in line today getting tickets for the midnight showing.

I still can't believe we are finally here...it feels so surreal ....I could sure stay up here for a week no problem. I will be sure to show some pictures when we get home...

I have fallen in love with this suit...it's perfect and so clean and brand-new inside....even comes with a breakfast everyday. I sure love this spot near the window I may never leave

Looking forward to the cruise...

We also have 3 Tv in here..one in each room...37 inch at least....and to big deep spa tubs...First thing Michael did today was take a bath...lol...we have a spa tub at hm that he loves also....

Anyway will give you a heads up tomorrow..stay safe and I hated the packing...what a headache

Are you seriously going through Fresno??

Dang, I should be out there waving....or tossing you a cup of coffee or something.

Yup, we seriously were and we are now ensconced at the palatial Motel 6 right across from Pea Soup Andersons. I have hopes of hitting the bakery there tomorrow before we hit the road again.

When do you guys start your drive?

GREAT! I am gonna have delays tomorrow from Dallas to Vancouver but at least the connection from Miami to Dallas wont!

Saw some riots on TV at vancouver a month ago got me really worried!

Sounds like heaven!

Taking our two 10 month old boxers to the kennel today. This will be their first time in a kennel and I'm getting a little nervous. My 21 year old DS won't stop teasing me that I am like a new mom all over again with these dogs. They are super sweet but can be little trouble makers at times! ( Kind of like my own two DSs!)

Have to finish packing today. Shouldn't be too hard since I pretty much have everything out already. And then, in another 24 hours, we'll be in the air on the way to Vancouver!

Hope that everyone is getting ready to go!

We are outta here in 40 hours! I can't even believe it. I am at work right now...debating why I am still here because my brain certainly isn't at work.

Can't wait to see everyone! When and where is the meet?? I need to get it in my notes so I don't forget!

 

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

Did we ever finalize if/how we would be doing any kind of fundraiser for the Give Kids the World Power of 10 challenge?

Great idea. I'll work on that tonight. I think I have a sheet of magnet paper left.

making lables but just had an airline problem! though we where gonna go to the airport in miami but we are going to the one in right next to us!

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Forgot to do my door magnet too but seeing that we're the only ones in the group on deck two I don't think it will be much of a problem.

We fly out of Pittsburgh tomorrow to Seattle to visit friends, Amtrak train to Vancouver Monday morning.

Hi All!

First and foremost, OKWMEMBER, you won't get lonely on deck 2 as the DH and I are also hanging our hats in that most illustrious and exclusive location (If you think getting the Roy or Walt is tough, they've got nothing on Deck 2 ). The neighbor list on the first page was compiled before our cabin number was assigned.

As for your magnet needs, I might have a spare floating in my luggage. As usual, I got carried away in my production, and if I do I will happily share.

By the way, it shows you and your DW participating in the FE but you are not on the final list. If you are still in the game please letme know and I with respond accordingly.

Now, on with the rest of my post... We arrived safe, sound and super tired here in Olympia Washington last night just before 10PM after driving virtually non-stop from the area near Pea Soup Andersons in Santa Nella. Over 1000 miles in a day and an evening.

We are looking forward to a "Wonder"ful bookend visit (2 days before our cruise, 2 days after) with the DGS, DGD and their parents.

I am wishing safe travels to all who are setting out on their journey in the next day or so.

To quote someone you all may have heard of once or twice... "To all those who come to this happy place... Welcome..."

Take care all, help lots of people and have a "Wonder"ful day!

Would love to hear about how everything works out as we are doing the same thing next month. Still haven't figured out if there's a better way to get to Amtrak station in the morning or from Amtrak to hotel in Vancouver other than using a cab.

Thanks and have a great trip!

Just keep packing, just keep packing! I may see the end by tomorrow.

This is like putting an octopus in a string bag!!!

Looking forward to 24 hours of planes, trains, and automobiles.

Seems like just about everyone is off and running

Saw 2 more black bears yesterday....I'm on a roll...it is raining here again but we r doing the white water rafting so no big deal about the rain and we get wet suits to wear anyway...

Heading back up to the Peak To Peak since Michael did not want to go yesterday....it was so beautiful I don't want him to miss it and besides that I want to have a snowball fight with him...Branden and I hiked a little up there yesterday in the snow...late winter here so not many flowers but snow is beautiful up here.

Heading back to Vancouver tomorrow...

Have safe trips and touch back later
