if you decide to buy a second property, I'll match your dad's offer to stay in the other for free.

The generosity of folks from KY almost brings a tear to my eyes!

You find that house in FL for me to live in yet?

Still looking but you will be the 2nd person I call (after dad as he did call dibs first).

Heat index only 103 today but with our evening storms it reminds me of FL in August!

Really want to try Victoria & Albert's at WDW. But, I would have to put kids in child care place. Not sure if 10 & 8 year old could survive at BLT alone together for 3 hours without killing each other.

Happy 4th of July to all the KY Dis-ers. I wish I could be sitting at TOTWL for fireworks tonight. Maybe one year.

It is awful quiet on the KY thread. Just making sure my fellow Ky'ers didn't melt during the recent heat wave. We have finally gotten back into the upper 80's and lower 90's. It is sad when I say we have cooled off and it is 91 out!

We're still here. It does stay fairly quiet over here.

Not anymore. Too old for that stuff. But, I'll have as much fun as i can. October seems so far away.

Happy Friday KY! I didn't think it was ever going to get here.

Why does the 81 days between being able to make ADRs and getting down to the double digit dance seem to take FOREVER!

it does seem that way. I think it is Disney marketing. I couldn't wait after booking at 11 months out, so I bought more points to have two trips. Those 80 days are to get you to buy special event tickets and merchandise to get ready for the trip.

Hi everybody!

Has been a long time since I been on board. Sorry about not posting on our trip to Aulani. To make a long story short I have been busy taking care of my parents. Dad starting getting sick prior to us leaving for Aulani. He was in hosp & discharge the night before we left. Thought he was doing better and they didn't want us to cancel so we left early that next morning. 9 days latter he got readmitted & stayed 2 days while we were in Hawaii. Thought we were going to lose him several times the past couple months but he is doing well now and looks better then he has since Christmas.

Now back to Aulani. We fell in love with the resort. Wish we could stay for ever. We are planning on going in Sept 2013 again and hopefully do it yearly. Here is a little start of a trip report.

Pre-trip detour: We flew out early Fri. on SW to San Antonio, TX to see our DS graduate. Enjoyed spending time with him Fri & Sat then took a late flight out to Phoenix to spend the night. We then had direct flight to HNL with Hawaiian air 6 1/2 hr flight and arrived in HNL at 12:30 that afternoon on Mother's Day. Happy Mother's day to me in Hawaii!

We rented a car with Hertz and was a little disappointed with them in the beginning. Waited for a while in line at the counter then they did not have a car that we reserved and had to wait around for 30 minutes before upgrading to the next level.

Drive to Aulani was easy but it was Sunday and traffic wasn't bad. Seeing the resort in the distance made forget about hertz. As soon as you pull up they open your car door and greet you with lei and refreshing water to drink. They do a quick tour of the lobby until they see the counter is ready so you don't have to want in line. And yes our room was ready!

Oh how beautiful the resort is!!!

more to come later....
