Hey everyone, guess where I was today? (Hint: It's not in the United States.) Wish you were all here with me! I'll be seeing you soon on the ABD trip, and might have some extra park maps from here to give away (plus some small gifts for Pete, John, Kevin and Walter).

Have a great time Chris!

Would you hear mostly English, Cantonese and Mandarin?

I'm so glad your back Todd!

I think we missed a day or two of countdowns!

I have 9 more days of work (after today). Phillip and I should be approaching LAX on our final descent at just about this time exactly two weeks from today!

Same here! I keep saying only 9 more days, only 9 more days!

Two weeks from right now, I will be on a plane bound to Burbank, instead of where I am now, in urgent care. I have a cold. It is now in my eye. I am glad it happened here and now though. Now I will be healthy for my fellow travellers. ;-)

Two weeks from now Kim and I will be headed to baggage claim at LAX.

So will we - sadly - no convertible though

Which way are you guys driving? We're heading north from the Huntington Beach area - hope to make it up as far Pismo Beach before having to turn back around

sorry to hear about your cold Alissa. It's a real pain when it settles into your eyes, I get that all the time - I feel your anguish

hope you're feeling well soon

PCH is a convertible is a very nice set up - I am now also very jealous!
Enjoy your ride - looking forward to hearing about it!

We are heading north out of LA and hope to make it as far as Carmel/Monterrey before haeding back. If the scenery is as good as I think it will be, we may not make it that far.

I hear you on that one Bill -

By the time Dino and I get to Malibu, I'll be wanting to stop to look around and take pictures. I know that the further north we drive, we'll see more of the cliffs though

This is just context, Dodie backstory, all only relevant because of our upcoming Adventure...

The NCAA Men's Final Four is here in Indy this year. After last year's Final Four, we put our names into the NCAA lottery to buy tickets (the way the NCAA distributes the open tickets yearly for this event).

We were notified last fall that we would be receiving those tickets. (Woo hoo! Big college basketball fans here!) My second thought (after "Woo hoo!") was that that weekend would be just one weekend before our ABD adventure. That seemed so far away.

Now, I never could have imagined at that point that our little (under 5K students) hometown school, Butler University, of whom my husband Phillip and I are big fans and attend at least 3 home games per year, would actually BE in the Final Four one weekend before our ABD trip.

Life is good all the way around, friends!!

 

[corky441]

Great news Dodie-

Getting to the game sounds awesome - I think I remember you taking about that ticket lottery on the DISapalooza thread

I remember you speaking about the Butler team last week - before they took out our home state team from Syracuse last week. Oh well, as a fellow DISer - I will now be rooting for Butler too

 

[klam_chowder]

in 2 weeks I'll oggling at HP stuff during the WB tour with good friends!

to our mystery Adventurer... and after all the noshing we'll be doing, I hope the sizes don't run small

cheers,

 

[klam_chowder]

careful Dodie...DH swears it's a known fact that people can explode on the spot from too much fun - it's what he says to coax me back to the hotel when we're at wdw

I have absolutely no clue of your bb talk but hope you have a blast!

cheers,

2 weeks from today, and about at this time, our plane will be landing at LAX!

As soon as they see suitcases, the pouting begins. It's quite pitiful actually.

Our DISdog does the exact same thing. When he sees the suitcases come out, he is moping around for days. Usually, suitcases mean he's off to the boarder soon. What he doesn't know about this upcoming trip is that he gets to stay home. The Nanny can let him out in the daytime and my Mom and kids will walk him at night. Not only does that save us $$$$$, but he doesn't have to stress over being away from home. He's a pretty low-maintenance dog.

Two weeks from today, we'll ALL be in LA getting ready to start this amazing Adventure.

I've been told by other people that have done ABD trips that once you see how well orchestrated and top notch the tour is, you'll want to travel with them again. Start saving ...
