Hi Gang!

Eight days until we all meet, and I am so excited! I have to try and maintain tho, and not get Disney brain yet, as I have a lot of work ahead!

The lovely Karen and I will be roomies, and although we have not yet met I am super excited to meet the infamous klamchowder!

I laughingly tell people this is the first vaca I have taken that for which I had to do homework, because I bought every book on their recommended list (thank you half.com!), but shamefully have not yet read them all. I consider it still counts because they are in my house!

I love love Disney history, so this is right up my alley, meeting the rest of you is just icing on the cake!

I am sure we are going to have a FABULOUS time, and will make lifetime memories! Fair warning to all - I have a new camera and I am not afraid to use it! Seriously, the last trip I took with "imaginary" Disney friends, they called me "Paparazzi Lynne" so be prepared. I promise i will not post unflattering or embarassing photos, but do plan to post in a flickr group accessible by you all (only). I will not post any of the podcast crew without their permission.... I had to giggle a little when Pete referenced that he had a four gig card and couldn't imagine needing more - I am taking 2 16 gigs and am wondering if I should pop for one more..... hmmmm.

I have even begun gathering items to pack - highly unusual for me as I usually wait until the day before - even for international trips - so very very excited! Regretfully, I am not taking the ABD backpack because of the smell, but rather my "old faithful" bag that has seen me through 20+ trips, and of course the camera bag. I did grab a couple of ABD items, especially a super-fine jacket, thanks to someone on this thread who let us know they were in the Disney store. I will probably buy a ridiculous amount of stuff, and will need to ship back home.

I am really looking forward to meeting you all and so thankful that we do not seem to have a "knewton" in our group - this really is the trip of a lifetime!!

See you all real soon - happy travelling to those leaving early as you head out!

Hey folks....

I believe Alex will be leaving the ABD chat open this week, just in case anyone wants to use it.

I dont believe I will be there on Thursday evening, but if you have questions or concerns....y'all know how to reach me.

John and I will be traveling on Saturday and I think we are on the ground at 3:00pm PST. I will have my cell phone and access to email.

It's hard to believe that we have been planning this for almost a year and it's finally arrived.

I dont know about the rest of you...but after last year....I need this.

WOOHOO!!!!!

GO HOME!

[kab407]

Why am I at work? I have vacation-itis. Can't somebody send me home?

I ask myself this very same question, every single day. The only answer I can come up with is that Pete, John and Kevin plan really good vacations that I must be on. So here I sit, reading another dull report........

But next week at this time

Hey everyone, Greetings from Bangkok! Weather report today: about 105 degrees and seemingly 1000% humidity. This pic was taken at the start of a seven hour city tour that began at the royal palace. Let's just say I have never been so appreciative of air conditioning. It is (to quote the DIS team) "Africa hot" here! Can't wait for the California weather!

WOW Chris! The temples (?) behind you are stunning. Safe travels. See you next week

Now that we're back I thought I'd post a quick photo for those that have no idea what we look like.

Can't wait for this trip to start.
