We are still on the road - trying to get home from our weekend up north. The bad part is that we are just outside of Duluth, MN and the traffic is totally stopped. It could be a very long journey home. The trip should be only about 3 hours but I am thinking we might need to plan on adding a lot more time. At least we are listening to Disney music as we sit in the van.

I tried to post when we were way up north but could not get a strong enough signal and now I am so far behind that I am not going to attempt to even go back....I am just moving forward!

Hope traffic starts moving soon, and you get home ok!

 

[disfaninca]

me too! and yet again I've got tears in my eyes

I feel the same!! Too bad there was the water line from the rain! I bet you can see it really clear when it's not raining!

Since I am sitting in traffic, I might as well work on our website. Did I see in a post that people are meeting on the ship at 2:00 (before the cabin tour)? I will add that to our site if it is correct.

I also know that I need to update all the great information from Brenda about the cabin tour and will work on that as well.

Any other meets or anything that I need to add?

Also going to put together my update to send to Marco and Laura. I have the note about the FE list #1 cabin updates, the DIS group photo and a bit about the port arrival information. If anyone can think of anything else they have missed, let me know because I won't actually send it until late tonight or tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the info.

Erika, mentioned about everyone meeting at 2 at currents bar then those who are involved in cabin tour can leave at 2.30.

There was also someone asking about if a time was set to meet in the parking lot inbetween 2 hotels the morning that we board

We all watched it while we are sitting in traffic. DH is not real happy at this point and we just passed a sign saying that we have 10 more miles of it...we have been sitting in it for an hour already.

I was excited to see the ship though and it is great fun to know that it will not be long until we are all on it!

How is everyone tonight? I'm busy trying to pack we leave the day after tomorrow. Got to get all my loose ends tied up, like shoes, we need more shoes!!! Guess I'll be shopping tomorrow.

Totally off topic.... one of the reasons I love the month of August is coming home and pulling a vine-ripened tomato out of our garden and having a delicious treat!

Is there somewhere to stop and eat dinner, maybe that would allow it to clear out a little. That's a bummer, I hate traffic!

I'm bummed because the flowers that I bought in Hawaii only bloom once a year and they will be in full bloom while I'm gone. Last summer my daughter knocked the buds off right before it was going to bloom so I haven't seen this stupid plant bloom in 2 years. Love fresh tomatoes tho... and we have several of those.

You both sound like you have very green fingers

I try but am not very successful

Good luck with all your last minute stuff! I have some loose ends to tie up but have all week to get it done.

The sad thing is it will probably only get worse. We are headed home from the North Shore of Minnesota and the traffic is always insane on Sundays. Poor DH is trying to be patient with it all but it is really hard to sit in traffic when you just want to get home.

YUM! Love the tomato treat!

Are we meeting at 2:00 at Currents Bar or at the Family Zone?

Does anyone know what time our rooms are usually ready?

Here is a little "detail" or loose end that we need to take care of this week....

While we were up north, DH was swimming. He was running down the dock and then jumped into the lake. The lake at the end of the dock was TOTAL MUCK! Ben has his Disney Crocs on (complete with Disney jibitz) and one shoe got sucked into the MUCK and we could not find it. So, we are headed home with only ONE shoe and missing his jibitz. We will now need to go to the MOA to buy new Crocs and I will hope they have some Disney jibitz in stock.

OOps I thought that was the same place.

On the PM Brenda sent about the cabin tour she said we were meeting on deck 13 , when I looked at the deck plan on deck 13 you have the sports deck, the edge and currents bar, thats why I thought it was currents - what do you think?

Where is the family zone?
