Hello to anybody still out there. The other SOCAL's have finally landed. We touched down safely and soundly at about 4 p.m. FL time. We found our bags and went to find a hotel room. We ended up at Orange Lake Holiday Inn. It's actually not too bad. All 5 of us are staying in a 2 queen room with a mini-refrig and micro. Not too bad for $80/pr night w/o ressies! And, I can see several of the hotels on Hotel row. Pretty close. We will see you all on Saturday. Just couldn't help myself and had to get online.

Okay girls, Jacqui, Hanna, Amanda and others, keep a lookout for Megan. She returned from Hawaii with cornrows at the top of her head. She has blue bands in her hair. That's her! Say hi as she tends to be rather shy at first.

All others, we will be playing it cool until Saturday and don't really plan to do any parks until after we get back. We're pretty tired as DH pulled an all-nighter with an electrician (we broke ground on our 2nd story and had to move the electrical panel.) I myself stayed up until 3:00 and got up at 4:45 to be at LAX by 6:00. Lines there weren't too bad and we breezed by in just under 45 minutes. Got some sleep on the plane but am really messed up by the time change. Hope we all adjust by Saturday.

Anyway, looking forward to meeting everybody. Sorry I didn't get to send pix all as DH installed a new printer/scanner and I didn't get a chance learn how to use it properly. Men & their toys!

Oh well, for those here all ready, have fun and see you real soon. For those leaving real soon, have a safe trip and hope you are as relieved as I was when we got here safely.

We will have e-mail access all the way up to Saturday morn and plan to be around the pool area at the Radisson on Friday night for those that can make it. Hope to see you there!

Bye for now -

We made it!!

Laura & Melissa...we're here already too. We are comfy @ Disney's Vero Beach here in S. Florida. We stayed at the Peabody(Club Level) for the first eve (7/12) and loved watching the Duck March as if it were our first time, three eves in a Portofino Bay Hotel Suite (IOA/US/Emerils,etc.!),and then here until Saturday! We rented an expedition when we arived from LAX @ MCO, and will drop this off in Cape Canaveral Sat. We are excited about the Cruise, and are having a lovely vacation in the meantime here in DVBR. I'll tell DD to look-out for Megan & the Cornrows! Have to fill out all the Docs and tag the luggage...TTFN!
