Calgon take me away....

[stasijane]

After much debate of taking a solo trip and deciding and then turning around and changing my mind several times I have decided it’s finally time for the trip. After spending the last three days with my DD who is almost 13 and has these mood swings that I can’t even describe I NEED some peace!!!!

Right now I am on voluntary layoff, I felt over worked between school and working full time that I could use some time to get a few things done around the house and spend time with my family, and although we just came back from WDW the first week of march I didn’t feel satisfied from that trip due to it being me my DD and her little cousin so I really spend the whole time catering to them. I am going Crazy, This kid is a pain! I love my DD and we do alot of things together and I hate to say it but her attutide here lately reminds me of myself! Scary!! I am sure a lot of people have been on the same situation I am in with a preteen. I am ready to hop in the car and head out now but I have to wait for my mother to arrive back home Friday so she can keep my daughter while I am gone.

I had made plans to go two weeks ago but I wasn’t feeling it at the time but I am soo ready now! 5 days to myself to walk around watch some of the shows that I couldn’t talk the DD into watching with me…… and the Drinks!! O the drinks! I could head over to the poly and get me a Lapu Lapu! And shopping is another thing I could indulge in. I am feeling ecstatic and I am not even there!
So as it stands now I will be heading out of Central Mo early sun (yes, I drive! I love road trips and love the convenience of having my car) and spend the next 5 days in total relaxation (without screaming and pouting DD) anyone else have a solo trip coming up? Are you as excited as me??

Mine isn't till November but it's all I can think of! Can't wait till the hours post so I can plan further. Can't wait till my ADR date so I can make my reservations. Of course, I change my mind everyday as to where I'm going to eat. Got to get that nailed down!

I am still debating about asking my Mom to go with me. We are best friends and both huge Disney lovers. She is the only one I could see sharing this trip with. We are planning on going with family in 2014 but that's a long way off. I feel really guilty not asking her, I know she will be hurt but I'm also concerned about the financial side of it for her. I really don't know what the statis of her finances are since my dad passed away a few years ago and she just has her income. Guess I need to make a decision before the end of this month since I will need to do the ADRs beginning of May.

So I am starting to get excited. I was supposed to leave Early Sun morning I was wondering if it was going to happen at all with my car being in the shop. I just bought a brand new Hyundai Veloster and they already have to put in a new transmission. I didn’t think it was a serious issue; it was only making a small noise when I shifted but Hyundai doesn't want anyone messing with their new dual clutch parts so they just sent in a whole new transmission. Anyhow I wasn’t sure if I was going to have a car to drive but I told them yesterday I had plans and if it wasn’t ready I was taking their car to Florida.

It’s also looking like I will have a travel buddy for 2 days. My friend is going to be home all alone this weekend and said she is down for a road trip!!! WOO road trip. I will be moving my trip forward to leave on Friday instead of sun so she can come spend at least a day and a half down in Orlando. She will fly back early Monday. It’s awesome because she has never been to Disney World before! She always teases me every time I come down. Bet she don’t anymore!!

Make her one of us!


I had something similar happen recently. My good friend and gym buddy would always tease me when I told him, "I won't be at the gym next Monday" or whatever. The first thing he would ask was, "Disneyland or Disneyworld?" He never lectured me or anything but he definitely enjoyed some good-natured ribbing. Then last June U2 played in Anaheim, and he is a huge U2 fan. Long story short we did 2 days at the concert and 2 days at DL, and after we got home he said, "Hey dude, lemme know the next time you're going to DL, and I'll go with you."


Soon your friend will be saying the same thing!

I did a trip with my mom last May and we had a blast! It was just the two of us. I did find that she got tired out faster than I did and I adjusted my schedule to fit hers so that she didn't push herself (which she would have done). Next trip will be a solo one so I have no one to answer to but me!
