Canadian Buffoon's Disney With a Teen Vacation - 08/13 - The Wrap

[pkondz]

Thank you for sharing in my excitement!

Oh I am, I am!

I soooo remember our first brat... uh, darlin' DD.
She didn't sleep through the night until she was 3 and a half!

DD#2 came home from the hospital and slept through.
We thought she'd died!

Thanks! I can try, but knowing me I'll be apologizing right after I snipe at someone.

Be firm. And stick to your guns. And...


Sorry.
Too much.

 

[Thumper_Man]

I see what you did there. Nicely done!

Thank you. I try. I used to do it a lot more. I even used to take songs and change the words to match the TR. I still might but haven't figured out the right song yet.

 

[Saturn23]

I thought I'd already done that.

You've figured it out have you? Yes you're totally boring and we're all here reading because we lost a bet and you're our punishment. We even asked for more (Maui) because we lost yet another bet.

Too late.
Like all the other females (including the two female guinea pigs),
she holds me in contempt.

Noted?

How did I do in that round?

So... I guess that means no.

Phew!

(So now I have to try harder.)

Yes, please try harder to offend me.

I went skydiving once.
My lines tangled and I had to fight to get them untangled.
Pretty sucky for a first jump.
So... pretty freaking scary.
Not just the lines... the whole thing.

That must have been horrible! That moment when you realize you may never see tomorrow
If your lines kept getting tangled someone wasn't packing your chute right.

Even climbing out of the plane and letting go.
"But why? The plane's not broken! I wanna stay!"

I know!! The whole time you're going up in the plane you're thinking "why exactly am I doing this again??" That's what everyone said to me too. Why would you leave a perfectly good plane???

Well, up until the chute finally opened.
Then it was awesome.

Did you free fall? I never got to that point, the place I went to we had to do five static line jumps before they let us. I only made it to two.

So I thought. "I'm not going to let this beat me!"

I jumped again.

Line tangled again.

Okay. Been there. Done that.

You went back after the first time??? Sounds like my second time. Everything was perfect the first time, exited, held on, jumped, chute opened, landed well. The second time was horrible. They didn't cut the propeller so when I stood on the step it was too windy to hold on and I did a back flip off the side... There was a camera recording it all and the first thing that went through my head was "oh how embarrassing they got that on film"... followed by "I'm probably going to die now"... Luckily the chute opened fine even though my exit was horrible. I never went back for a third.

Don't you love that you did it though?

Here it is.
Canadian Buffoon European Vacation

Thanks! I'll read it when this one is over. I can't wait to hear about how you were stuck in a roundabout for a whole day passing Big Ben and Parliament repeatedly!!! Did any of your relatives in Germany live at number 6?

Can't. I'm too set in my old fuddy-duddy ways.
Eh? What's that you say, little girl? Speak up!

DID YOU NEED ME TO YELL FROM NOW ON????

No! Why would I? I'm going to go back the very next day, right?

Whoops.

Obviously!

I like the way you think.

I can justify almost any purchase.

The moment has passed.

I'm disappointed. It would have probably been really funny and now I'll never know.

You're kidding right?
You really think that would dissuade me???

Do you remember when I told you that we waited two full hours for Jack and Sally? It was hot, everyone was crammed in on top of one another, people were leaving the line so they wouldn't faint.... Are you sure you're up for it??? If you are that's really brave of you.

"All right pkondz. You're going to be touring
with two drop dead gorgeous young women.

Drop dead gorgeous??? Well that's way better than incorrigible!! Although I really do still like incorrigible for some reason, that was pretty sweet.

Wow, you get 50 bonus flattery points from us which means you win!!! What do you want as your prize?

 

[Saturn23]

To paraphrase Teri Hatcher.
It's pizza... and it's spectacular.

LMAO!!!
Yes, that pizza was about as real as those....

My evilness knows no bounds.

I love that!!!!

Are you sure?
That's a perfect spot to comment, actually.

How about "you're full of something..." ?

Oh. Well, I don't feel so bad about it now.
Thanks!

Would it be funnier if I said I stole it from the Simpsons? They went to a water park called Mount Splashmore. When they got there the lines were insane. Homer didn't want to wait so he just shoved people out of the way shouting "Line inspector, coming through... Line inspector"... Then it flashes to a random guy in line who says "God bless that man!".

At least I think that's what happened, I haven't seen that episode in years. You would think someone would have put put a youtube clip by now but I couldn't find one. Whenever someone cuts us we yell "line inspector"

You did??
Do tell!

It was in Disneyland Paris, at the end of the day. There was barely a line for BTM, everyone was just walking through with no wait. Some guy tried to cut in front of another and the guy wouldn't let him. They both got angry, yelled at each other and started pushing. It was pretty shocking.

Her hands are wayyyyyy too far apart for that.
Like about two feet too far apart.
(At least it looks like they're about 26" apart.)

I'm sorry if posting that seemed inappropriate!

That was you?

I should've said Hi.
The timing would've been perfect.

I've hit that theme park wall SO many times I have a permanent dent in my forehead. The funny part is that it doesn't even happen at night after we're all tired. It's usually when we arrive and I see that the park is MUCH more crowded that expected. "Touring plans said this was a level 1 day, they LIED and RUINED my whole vacation!!!!". Proceed with melt down.

I can't believe it!
I would never have questioned your ability with....

Maybe I'll just leave that sentence unfinished.

I can't think of anything to write that won't get me the wrong kind of points. (Do the mods still give those out? I remember them from long ago).

I know.
But I've eaten there twice now and enjoyed it both times.
It's not "Wow this is great!"
But it's hard to screw up spaghetti Bolognese.

Yeah, I've eaten there once but I went in with really low expectations so I wasn't disappointed. It's ok if you just want to eat something in MK and can't get into BOG or don't feel like going to one of the monorail resorts. I always have problems booking dinner at MK. I usually just end up going to Epcot.

Occasionally, when I read comments, I laugh out loud.

This was one of those times.

Did milk come out of your nose??

We were leaning against a railing.
It was behind us.

Well there's your problem. Next time, look for a railing that has empty space in FRONT of it. Stand behind the railing. Make sure you're facing the castle, not the exit, or you won't see a thing.

Hopefully someone will help her out!

Looks like you have it taken care of!

You're too pretty to be annoying.

More flattery points for you!

It depends on how you slice it.
It can be very satisfying but usually later you regret it,
or very painful but you get over it and feel stronger after.

Well now that you mention it I actually have had that many times! Usually I get the regret flavored one. It must have different names depending on where you're from.

We set it up even before I left, actually.

Nice!!

Also noticed that you haven't put your guesses in yet.
Pondering your options?

I'm not ready to take the final exam yet. Can I have a few more days? My dog ate my homework or something.

 

[pkondz]

I showed this pick to Lady H and told her we'll have to go to Winnipeg now. She agreed it looks good. Told her we'll just stay at your house for the night.

You'd be welcome, you know.
Unfortunately, we don't have a guest room so you'll have to decide
between the two of you who gets the couch in the living room
and who gets the twin bed in the basement.

You got it. Be there in a year or 2 at the latest. You know, once I can find a J.O.B....

Still no luck, hunh?
Hopefully one will come around soon.

I kinda figured you would head back to this park. Who wouldn't want to go back for one more round of these 2 rides.

RNRC of course. DUH!!!!!

Geez! We did!

Wow. Someone's getting a little uppity over here... there... whatever.

Well, I suppose that makes sense.
You being a bunny and all.

Steven Tyler was there in a limo. Wow how lucky was that. Does the Dude Look Like A Lady? Or was it just some of the Same Ol Song and Dance?

So what did he tell you? Walk This Way if you want to be Livin' On The Edge; cuz at the end you may be Jaded. Heck you may even want to get Back In The Saddle again. You need to tell me cuz I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.

Oh no. You weren't Cryin' were you? Dude, Janie's Got a Gun if you need assistance. You just need to find her. I hear she's a little Crazy even though she looks like an Angel. She's got What It Takes to get the job done.

Somethings never change with you.

Although this one was particularly well done.
So many ups and downs I felt like a Rag Doll
makin' Love in an Elevator.

Way to stand your ground.

Thank you.




No one saw that I was quivering, right?>

Advil. Life saver. This is one trick Lady H and I learned on our last trip to WDW. Take some in the morning before you leave to the parks. Take some while touring the parks and take some after touring the parks. It really does help cut down on the aches and pains. Plus any swelling from all the walking. Plus the occasional sit and rest for a bit. Usually when we stop for our ADR's is when we'll take another dose to help keep us going.

Oh, sure. NOW you tell me.

I'll have to keep that in mind for future reference.

I need to look into this. Our last trip to Orlando, we sure could've used this package.

It's really quite indispensable.

Now even though when Wishes ends it leaves you with a heavy heart. You know what leaves you with an even heavier heart. THIS. The music and the words really hit you in the gut and that's when you know your vacation has really come to an end. Is someone cutting onions near by? Take it they still do this. Been over 3 years since we've last been there.

Shoot, I'm at work.
Been at work for two days now.
Won't see this 'til tomorrow at the earliest.

Even though I know I'm already out of it, I'll play along.

I hope so!

T_Man: I say 1:00 AM
Lady H: You're already up, you never go to sleep.


T_Man: Yes, Kay.
Lady H: Yes, both.



T_Man: Yes
Lady H: Yes

What kind of Pkondz TR would this be without some last minute issues.


T_Man: Customs
Lady H: Customs



T_Man: Ruby (since she works close by).
Lady H: Bags

Noted.
And... Noted.

 

[pkondz]

I'm afraid with the free fall of the Canadian loonie I have "missed the bus" on the VIP package.

Ugh. Tell me about it.
I've been watching any possibility of a future Disney trip go down the drain.

 

[Saturn23]

Love it!

And I agree... Walking is the way to go!

The only logic I can come up with is that they determined that the boat would take too long and they were too tired to walk. Hence a boat ride to the edge of FW... all they had to do was walk through FW and get on a bus. If they don't wait long for the bus, it will be faster than the boat and it will save them some walking.

Thanks! That explanation does make more sense.

Even worse, he chose a bus over a super stretch limo.

That's MUCH worse!!!

 

[pkondz]

You've figured it out have you? Yes you're totally boring and we're all here reading because we lost a bet and you're our punishment. We even asked for more (Maui) because we lost yet another bet.

I knew it.
Well, I didn't know it was a bet.
I thought maybe you'd been sentenced by a judge or something.

I didn't want to ask, since if you'd been sentenced to reading this,
what you did must've been very bad.

How did I do in that round?

You were easily in the top 100.

So... I guess that means no.

Yes! Absolutely! That definitely means no!

Yes, please try harder to offend me.

I think I'm in love.

That must have been horrible! That moment when you realize you may never see tomorrow
If your lines kept getting tangled someone wasn't packing your chute right.

Funny thing is. It wasn't horrible.
The chute opened, I looked up, saw tangled lines.
Remembered (luckily) what they told us to do about it,
did it and then enjoyed the rest of the ride.

It was only later that I thought about it.
And even then, I was more.
"Well, I'm not letting that stop me!"

So I did it again.
And this time I was annoyed.
"Again? Oh for crying out loud."

After I got down, I decided that somebody up there
(perhaps the pilot? )
was trying to tell me something.

I decided that I'd set out to do what I wanted to do
and not push my luck any further.

I know!! The whole time you're going up in the plane you're thinking "why exactly am I doing this again??" That's what everyone said to me too. Why would you leave a perfectly good plane???

I kept looking down and thinking
"That's really far."

And if I had a nickel for every time someone said:
"Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?"
I'd have... oh, at least $1.15.

Did you free fall? I never got to that point, the place I went to we had to do five static line jumps before they let us. I only made it to two.

No. But free fall was never my goal.
I figured just letting go was enough for me.
I really just wanted to float under a canopy.

The way I did it was:
The instructor would wave you forward.
He'd pull out your drogue chute.
You'd climb out and hold onto the wing strut.
Letting go of the strut and falling would pull the
drogue out of the instructor's hand.
So a couple of seconds of free fall was about it.

You went back after the first time??? Sounds like my second time. Everything was perfect the first time, exited, held on, jumped, chute opened, landed well. The second time was horrible. They didn't cut the propeller so when I stood on the step it was too windy to hold on and I did a back flip off the side... There was a camera recording it all and the first thing that went through my head was "oh how embarrassing they got that on film"... followed by "I'm probably going to die now"... Luckily the chute opened fine even though my exit was horrible. I never went back for a third.

Wow. Sounds scarier than mine.
I don't think we cut the engine at all though.
You just dealt with it.
I didn't know enough to know if the wind force was normal or not.

Did you keep the video of that one?
Must be good for a chuckle (now that you're not dead.)

Don't you love that you did it though?

D.E.F.I.N.I.T.E.L.Y

Major bucket list item checked off.

Thanks! I'll read it when this one is over. I can't wait to hear about how you were stuck in a roundabout for a whole day passing Big Ben and Parliament repeatedly!!! Did any of your relatives in Germany live at number 6?

Very good!

Funny thing is, I actually do have relatives in Germany.
They live at 19 though.

DID YOU NEED ME TO YELL FROM NOW ON????

WHAT???

I can justify almost any purchase.

I don't know why, but this doesn't overly surprise me.

I'm disappointed. It would have probably been really funny and now I'll never know.

It was so funny! OMG! Hilarious! Truly a comment for the ages.

Do you remember when I told you that we waited two full hours for Jack and Sally? It was hot, everyone was crammed in on top of one another, people were leaving the line so they wouldn't faint.... Are you sure you're up for it??? If you are that's really brave of you.

Did you not see what I said?

Ah. I see you did from your next comment.

So that answers that.

Drop dead gorgeous??? Well that's way better than incorrigible!! Although I really do still like incorrigible for some reason, that was pretty sweet.

Wow, you get 50 bonus flattery points from us which means you win!!! What do you want as your prize?

If I wrote what I want, I'd get banned.

 

[pkondz]

LMAO!!!
Yes, that pizza was about as real as those....

That is very, very real pizza.

I'm not positive about the other... uh... others.

I love that!!!!

T'is merely the truth m'lady.

How about "you're full of something..." ?

That's it?
You can be more insulting than that!
I believe in you!

Would it be funnier if I said I stole it from the Simpsons? They went to a water park called Mount Splashmore. When they got there the lines were insane. Homer didn't want to wait so he just shoved people out of the way shouting "Line inspector, coming through... Line inspector"... Then it flashes to a random guy in line who says "God bless that man!".

At least I think that's what happened, I haven't seen that episode in years. You would think someone would have put put a youtube clip by now but I couldn't find one. Whenever someone cuts us we yell "line inspector"

Now that's funny! I wanna be there when you...
No. Wait.
I wanna yell it with you!

It was in Disneyland Paris, at the end of the day. There was barely a line for BTM, everyone was just walking through with no wait. Some guy tried to cut in front of another and the guy wouldn't let him. They both got angry, yelled at each other and started pushing. It was pretty shocking.

Wow.

Disney brings the best out of people don't it?

I'm sorry if posting that seemed inappropriate!

Don't apologize! I loved it!

Maybe I should apologize in stating her hands were 26 inches apart
and 2feet too far.
I tend to stretch the truth some times.

I've hit that theme park wall SO many times I have a permanent dent in my forehead.

The funny part is that it doesn't even happen at night after we're all tired. It's usually when we arrive and I see that the park is MUCH more crowded that expected. "Touring plans said this was a level 1 day, they LIED and RUINED my whole vacation!!!!". Proceed with melt down.

Is it bad that I really find it funny that you said
"Proceed with melt down."

Makes it sound so planned and methodical.

"Houston, we have elevated crowd levels,
proceed with melt down in T minus 10, 9, 8..."

Yeah, I've eaten there once but I went in with really low expectations so I wan't disappointed. It's ok if you just want to eat something in MK and can't get into BOG or don't feel like going to one of the monorail resorts. I always have problems booking dinner at MK. I usually just end up going to Epcot.

I've never really thought of MK as a dining destination,
so Tony's is fine with me.

However, I'd like to try Skipper Canteen.

Well there's your problem. Next time, look for a railing that has empty space in FRONT of it. Stand behind the railing. Make sure you're facing the castle, not the exit, or you won't see a thing.

Oh, brother....
I know you were kidding about the "facing the castle"
(which was pretty funny, btw)
but... having the railing in front would solve the problem.

looks like you have it taken care of!

I think so!

More flattery points for you!

Well now that you mention it I actually have had that many times! Usually I get the regret flavored one. It must have different names depending on where you're from.

Not to worry. I'll never serve you cruelty cake.
It has peanut butter in it.

I'm not ready to take the final exam yet. Can I have a few more days? My dog ate my homework or something.

Oh, sure.
I haven't even started the last update.
(replying and tabulating is taking all my time! )

 

[franandaj]

TMI! TMI!!!!!

Yer darned tootin', toots!

(Thought I forgot, hunh?)

Oh, I know you never forget!

I usually won't either.
But with Kay along, I had to make... adjustments.

That's right the hour long wait at Dinosaur and all....

Finally! I thought everyone would answer like that!

And I had to laugh because we went to the grocery store tonight. Fran is a HUGE magazine person, I can't tell you how many we have in boxes in storage, how many are littered about the new house. How many boxes we are uncovering at the old house filled with magazines. Well she bought another one (actually 4) at the store tonight, but I had to share the cover of this one with you.

OK, so I tried four times, two different browsers and two cameras, and the upload failed all the times, but the cover of the magazine had churros on it! She thought it would be fun to make churros! Fun for who? You know who makes them we "we" cook?????

Anyways, it was funny to me on the way home from the grocery store. Now I'm just frustrated.

It was a B flat churro. Except the more you "play" it, the less flat you'll be.

I thought they only came in concert key, well I guess you learn something every day.

The more I think about it, the more I think they forgot them.
But I usually get Bolognese (no meatballs) so I might not have noticed.

I prefer Bolognese, better meat to noodle ratio and you don't have to break it up or stab it.

Thanks Alison. If it doesn't work out for whatever reason,
you'll be my back up plan.

Okey dokey!

Nah. Remember I pack waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay lighter than you do.


Hmmm.... not enough 'a's up there.

If I had been drinking something when I read this, it would have squirted out my nose!!!!! Unfortunately I was in band, and I almost got busted for having my cell phone out during rehearsal!

Maui for sure and that's coming up soon
so I think I'll just keep this going and tack it on.

You just inspired me with a brilliant idea! I'm going to do the same on my Mississippi River Cruise TR with my current TR! I've been trying to figure out where to put it and I didn't like the idea of the Community Board so much because there's a lot of whackos over there. There's a lot of whackos on my TR too, but better the whacko you know than the whacko you don't!!

 

[seashell724]

I know I am VERY late to the party but I just started reading and it sounds good!
From the sounds of your intro I am 99% sure that we are from the same place in Canada. Looking very forward to read from that perspective.

 

[queenbetsey]

The words were no sooner out of his mouth
when I replied: "Don't worry. They'll wait for you."
And with that, I turned my back on him,
effectively blocking his way.
well done well done. reminds me of roni's story on one of her tr. we have also had this happen, and the fireworks grrrr, we are shall I say vertically challenged and always seems like some freakishly tall guy wants to stand in front of us. last spring we had a new parade and fireworks show open out here at DL. a few weeks after it opened we decided that scarlett and those people she lives with and lance and I would head out right after I got off work and stake out a spot for the parade and fireworks. we got there around 4 or 4:30 for the first parade (think it started at around 8 or so) folks started showing up 10 minutes before wanting us to move back, uummm no. after the parade we hung out for the fireworks some teenage boy decided to step in front of lance and started to wave his family up. well I was ticked so I did it. I didn't want to but the twerp left me no choice, I gave him..."the look" he noticed too (ok I am good at the look my kids can feel it with their backs to me) and he said, "oh that's my family back there (it was a bunch of teenagers and one adult.) I said rather loudly, oh lance move so this kid can get back to his family. my son in law started cracking up, pointed and said, "dude you just got burned by a little old lady) his friends and or family even laughed at him. they left after. a big high five to roni for that idea.

oh so sad to hear about the card. if we had something like that out here I would snag one for kay. but a agree you should call, tell them how your little girl is still sad about forgetting her bday card, how she still talks about how sad she is, (ok I would just say little girl when talking to them) perhaps they will send one to you.
ok time for my winning guesses. I really don't want to guess, that means this is almost over
I think you will be up around 2 packing up kay's stuff. she will be up at 2:30
of course she sleeps on the plane you not so much
you will hit a snag in customs, since you don't have a letter fome ruby, (are you trying to run back home young lady? ) are you constipated? they will let you smuggle your kid back into Canada tho
ruby will be there before your bags

did you ever get your carrot cake cookie?
I also have never had a Disney churro but have had the Costco ones, they are a buck a pop and huge (lance is nice enough to share with me as I have to watch the sugar intake) but he is always willing to help out.
have a nice evening and thanks for the great update

Thank you. I try. I used to do it a lot more. I even used to take songs and change the words to match the TR. I still might but haven't figured out the right song yet.

we miss those ya know

 

[franandaj]

I also have never had a Disney churro but have had the Costco ones,

I forgot about the Costco ones! They're pretty good too!

 

[pkondz]

Oh, I know you never forget!

Forget what?

That's right the hour long wait at Dinosaur and all....

<sigh> Yeah... and all.

And I had to laugh because we went to the grocery store tonight. Fran is a HUGE magazine person, I can't tell you how many we have in boxes in storage, how many are littered about the new house. How many boxes we are uncovering at the old house filled with magazines. Well she bought another one (actually 4) at the store tonight, but I had to share the cover of this one with you.

Anyways, it was funny to me on the way home from the grocery store. Now I'm just frustrated.

And it's funny to me!
Too bad no pic, but that's okay. I get the picture.

I prefer Bolognese, better meat to noodle ratio and you don't have to break it up or stab it.

I too prefer Bolognese, sans meatballs.
But at Tony's?

That's got to be the most iconic scene in the whole movie!

And then I got to thinking...
"Did I mistakenly order the Bolognese?"
But it's not on the menu, so....


WHERE ARE MY MEATBALLS?????

If I had been drinking something when I read this, it would have squirted out my nose!!!!! Unfortunately I was in band, and I almost got busted for having my cell phone out during rehearsal!

You just inspired me with a brilliant idea! I'm going to do the same on my Mississippi River Cruise TR with my current TR!

Glad I could help!

And...

 

[pkondz]

I know I am VERY late to the party but I just started reading and it sounds good!

Well hi there! to the (nearly complete) TR!

You may be late, but you're also right on time.
This part of the story may be ending,
but there's a trip to Maui on the very near horizon
and that will be here too if you're interested.

From the sounds of your intro I am 99% sure that we are from the same place in Canada.

Oh? Are you a 'Pegger? Or 'Toban? Or prairie boy/girl?

Looking very forward to read from that perspective.

Glad to have you along for the ride!
And thanks for saying "Hi!"

 

[pkondz]

well done well done. reminds me of roni's story on one of her tr.

YES!!!
That's exactly where I got it from! Pretty much word for word!
I remember thinking "I'm going to use that if it happens."
And it did!

we have also had this happen, and the fireworks grrrr, we are shall I say vertically challenged and always seems like some freakishly tall guy wants to stand in front of us.

Of course.
It's a rule.

In the book of jerks and morons.

last spring we had a new parade and fireworks show open out here at DL. a few weeks after it opened we decided that scarlett and those people she lives with

You know, that cracks me up every time you say that.

we got there around 4 or 4:30 for the first parade (think it started at around 8 or so)

Whoa. That's dedication!

folks started showing up 10 minutes before wanting us to move back, uummm no.

after the parade we hung out for the fireworks some teenage boy decided to step in front of lance and started to wave his family up. well I was ticked so I did it.

Oh, no. Here it comes.

I didn't want to but the twerp left me no choice, I gave him..."the look"

Did he spontaneously combust??

he noticed too (ok I am good at the look my kids can feel it with their backs to me) and he said, "oh that's my family back there (it was a bunch of teenagers and one adult.) I said rather loudly, oh lance move so this kid can get back to his family.

Wonderful!!

my son in law started cracking up, pointed and said, "dude you just got burned by a little old lady)

OMG! Icing on the cake!

oh so sad to hear about the card. if we had something like that out here I would snag one for kay. but a agree you should call, tell them how your little girl is still sad about forgetting her bday card, how she still talks about how sad she is, (ok I would just say little girl when talking to them) perhaps they will send one to you.

It looks like I've got it covered.
I've got one reader going soon who said she'd try
and I have a back up just in case.

My readers are the best!

ok time for my winning guesses. I really don't want to guess, that means this is almost over

Sorry!

I think you will be up around 2 packing up kay's stuff. she will be up at 2:30
of course she sleeps on the plane you not so much
you will hit a snag in customs, since you don't have a letter fome ruby, (are you trying to run back home young lady? ) are you constipated? they will let you smuggle your kid back into Canada tho
ruby will be there before your bags

Noted.

did you ever get your carrot cake cookie?

Nope. Too full!
Some day.
But not that day.

I also have never had a Disney churro but have had the Costco ones, they are a buck a pop and huge (lance is nice enough to share with me as I have to watch the sugar intake) but he is always willing to help out.

They have them at Costco???
Certainly not in Canada.
I'm hoping to pop into one when we land in Maui.
I'm not sure if I can get in with my Canadian membership though.
I have to check on that.

have a nice evening and thanks for the great update

Thanks, Betsey!

I think it works internationally. At least I think they allow Australians into US Costcos. It's a business, they want you to shop there, but I could be totally wrong too. That has happened in the past.

I'm going to be going to our local Costco in the near future.
I plan on just asking at customer service.
Someone there will know.

And if they let in Australians,
then they'll certainly let other countries in too, I would think.

Well hi there! to the (nearly complete) TR!

You may be late, but you're also right on time.
This part of the story may be ending,
but there's a trip to Maui on the very near horizon
and that will be here too if you're interested.



Oh? Are you a 'Pegger? Or 'Toban? Or prairie boy/girl?



Glad to have you along for the ride!
And thanks for saying "Hi!"

Right from the Peg actually! Lucky me, Maui is my favorite place on earth so I can't wait to read all about that.
Good thing I jumped in now.
I have been binge reading your report all night.
