Welcome!

Although we have children and we have enjoyed many Disney trips with them when they were younger, they are now older (18 and 23) and do not want to come with us anymore. That is fine with us as we now experience Disney in a whole new way and it is just as much fun just the two of us.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'm so using to lurking that I rarely log in.
And hello maddhatir! I'm about to head over to your side of the bridge and go shopping at Cherry Hill today for some stuff for my upcoming trip. I'm such a dork, I already have my bag packed.

 

[danall]

I totaly agree with you. My wife and I have been going to Disney alone without the kids for many years now and have a fantastic and romantic time everytime we are there. Are kids are older and rather to stay home than go to disney with us. We even took a Disney Cruise alone with no kids and it was great.

simply posting that i'm going to stop lurking and . . . start posting again. hello to everyone again and happy childfree life to you!

for those who need a smile - after being a nanny for two months, I gave up on even pretending I like spending afternoons with my little darling brats, and that had only been three days a week. I cut back and now I'm only on morning duty, because it's so much easier to make them function like robots when they HAVE TO GET IN THE CAR NOW!

I don't hate them, I even like them sometimes. But children are gross!

 

[maddhatir]

to all the new peeps! There are so many of you!

To the Philly peoples- get ready for the Toys for Tots run on Sunday! I know they close a LOT of roads for us cycle riders I always feel SO bad when we go riding by and see a LINE of cars just stopped and have nowhere to go, so they just sit outside of their cars and watch, some looking VERY um, "frustrated"

Every year I think to myself- "man that would suck if you have to be somewhere on time!"

TGIF everyone!

LOL- then avoid Philadelphia on Sunday Don't be driving all the way down here from FL.

They close a major bridge into the city for a marathon. They have a lot of ramps to a major highway and some streets closed off b/c of the bike run. AND the pièce de résistance- the Eagles are playing at home.

Can you say fuster-cluck??

I know Philly is a beast...I am a Jersey Girl, a South Jersey Girl to be exact, and spent many a weekend in Philly, and weekdays too..some days a NIGHTMARE! But hey, when the call of a real south philly cheesesteak hits, you heed the call no matter what the hour or the day.

What is funny is I may head up there sometime in the spring, early summer time to go to a DR up there. However I think of flying into Ohio and driving into PA. I have heard many horror stories about PA airport. If I went by myself I might kill some of the other drivers lol

MMMMMMMMMM cheesesteak! Maybe someday I will get to taste their steak o cheese!

Heading to a new lady to get my hair cut. I hope to goodness she doesn't mess my hair up. Thinking of going for a shorter bob. Not sure. Just hope I don't look like poopie afterwards haha. Then off to Target for some retail therapy and stocking up on hand sanitizer and travel size stuff.

DONT!

JUST DONT!

Not worth it. Fly directly into Philly. The drive from Philly to Ohio is LONG..

When the time comes for you to plan, let me know, I will help you out...LOL..and I can get you to Geno's from the airport too!

Oh sorry its not in Philly its about an hour or so outside of Philly in town called Hermitage. Everything I researched has said that flying into Ohio was gonna be same amount of time driving if I fly into Philly. But I still want a cheesesteak hahahaha

Personally I think they are boring. It isn't until they hit their teens they become interesting. At least then they are able to hold a conversation & have some ideas & independant thoughts in their heads.

That is an awesomething to do! You'll have to let us know how the ride goes & how many toys you collect.

Heck I don't have kids and I have a hard time getting anywhere on time.

I'm the same way... drives poor DH crazy!!

So we got in late last night. Woke up to sun, surf & the beautiful big blue & went to bed in chilly NC. Already planning our next trip to Cancun! It was a fantastic week!! The beach was amazing, the ocean was warm, and the tequilla was well, tequilla... Even after the tour & tasting I'm still not sure I will ever really develop a taste for it.

Off to get coffee & settle in home -- laundry, groceries, mowing, etc.
Then back to work tomorrow.

I have to agree. you sooooooooo don't want to do that drive. it's at least 8 hrs and flying into Philly isn't that bad if you do it right. and Geno's is the place to go for cheesesteak. I took my BFF from FL there last year and he still talks about it.

Wait- I never heard of Hermitage PA, so I Google mapped it. Hermitage is about FIVE hours from Philadelphia and only an HOUR away from Cleveland.

DH decided he didn't feel like doing the ride today. He is not big on the runs b/c he hates being around so many people that do not know how to ride- it is a lot of stopping and starting up. We have been doing the Toys for Tots run since we got the bike on 2000! I think this will only be the 2nd time we missed it. Actually, before we got the bike we would just drive to Philly to watch the bikes line up and do the run- it is AWESOME!

You have to buy the toys before the run. The run goes to Children's Hospital of Phila. Everyone parks, lines up outside the hospital and we all walk in, drop off our toys and walk through the lobby and out the back exit.. OMG- it is so heartbreaking b/c they have some of the sick kids out in the lobby with the staff and they all just clap and thank us- trust me- I never walk out of there with dry eyes!

I am not missing another one of these- I am warning DH now!

Welcome home!!!

DH and I are starting to look at places for our "winter" vacation. Just got back from Disney but he will be wanting to warm up by Feb We loved where we stayed last year Royal Catalonia Tulum in Riviera Maya- so we are keeping an eye on the prices.

DH and I woke up this morning and he asked me what time it was- 9:45. Well, come to find out it was really 8:45- yup we forgot about the clocks

Happy Sunday.

Wait- I never heard of Hermitage PA, so I Google mapped it. Hermitage is about FIVE hours from Philadelphia and only an HOUR away from Cleveland.

Cleveland is actually a nice airport & easy access to the highway (77 If I remember right). I've flown in/out of there on several occassions when I snagged a very good deal. It is a bit longer drive for my parents to pick me up there, but for the right amount of $$ on the plane tix it is worth giving them an extra $10 for gas. I would say go for it if it saves you a few hours of driving time. I think it is a Continental hub so check them for some deals.

I have to send you some info. I saw on a flyer where La Distelleria (sp?) opened a 2nd location.
I totally get why you would go to Mexico in February... you need to thaw out by then. We normally go in February or March, but with how things worked out we couldn't then but had to use our timeshare week before the end of 2010. We were loving the non-existant crowds though. We may actually consider going this time of year again.
