Come One, Come All. An Engagement & rain...lots of rainWith photos and videos

[MissMichelle]

So I want to let everyone know, that if all goes as planned this will be not only a LIVE report (with the details when I return) but also a DUAL report---Melissa is making a name here so we can get her point of view and her photos....

Should be double the fun

So I just got home from work and MAN am I sick! My tummy hurts pretty bad and my head is pounding...I started feeling weird at work but I figured it was just because of what I ate earlier---now I KNOW it was either what I ate or I am stuck with the flu...BLECH!

So to pass the night since I know I won't be sleeping I will be spending it here reading Luckily I don't have work tomorrow!

7 days!! 1 week from tonight we will be dreaming (or as the saying goes "I'm too excited to sleep!") and getting prepared for the mornings journey. I hope this week flies.

 

[cherbear]

Hope you are feeling better!

 

[MissMichelle]

Hope you are feeling better!

I am, thanks ...My nephew was sick this past week, then I got sick the other night ending in a horrible headache, my dad came dow with it also---so something is going around.


I can't believe we are down to 4 days! It is SO close!

 

[MissMichelle]

SO I will officially be doing a LIVE report. I went to the verizon kiosk at my store last night and puchased an air card to use for my laptop. I am armed with my digital and my video camera (so u should get both pics and videos!) and have plenty of batteries and memory.

We are down to the wire now. I have today and tomorrow off--mostly to be lazy.
SHOPPING---DONE
PACKING---DONE
CLEANING---Eh, not so much.

I have to work Saturday since it is Tax Free weekend here and we all have to be present. I requested Sunday off way back in March so they couldnt make3 me work when they found out this was tax free weekend---I will have started my vacation!

I cashed in my change last night---not quite as much as I had hoped for...Last years total was almost $300---this year only $70...could have something to do with the cash I stashed there also---$200. So not bad..there is the $$ for our CRT breakfast and also my mousekeeping tips. Leftover cash will be used for......hmmm Im thinking a Lapu Lapu or 2


So I am off now to go enjoy one of my LAST Venti Iced Cinnamon Dolce Lattes for the next few weeks. That is depressing lol

A live report! That is great news! What exactly is a Lapu Lapu? I have heard of them before...but not with any great details.

 

[Glendamax]

Michelle I HAVE to remember to look for your report! It will be so fun to read along everyday!

Well since I haven't actually HAD a Lapu Lapu yet the best I can say is it is a drink @ the Poly served up inside a pineapple. YUMMM anything with pineapple is good in my book

I am so excited to be doing a live report...I dont sleep much on vacation so I'll have free time at night

 

[MissMichelle]

Michelle I HAVE to remember to look for your report! It will be so fun to read along everyday!

Hopefully you do! If not I'll hunt you down and point you in the right direction

I love live reports and there are never enough of them...I am sure mine won't be as detailed as Cass's were but they will have pics and daily highlights while still fresh in my mind---plus it gives everyone an idea of weather/wait times in the current state

Are you talking about Cass, Kira's mother? I cruised with them last October!!

I don't think I am up doing to a live report... I need sleep! I'll take good notes and lots of pictures though. I will be here for yours though! I am ready!

Yes, that Cass...She has the most amazing live reports...I have followed them all. I wish I had the patience to sit and write like that---especially on vacation!

The countdown in on---live report to start around 1 pm Monday

 

[MissMichelle]

So today has been the LONGEST day so far in history! I can't believe it is only 1:20 pm!!! I have spent the day finalizing my lists (pack toothbrushes morning OF, all chargers, clean XYZ) you know...the list....

I have also read up on current TR's and am trying to pass the time...its not working. I am praying tomorrow flies since I have to work.

so....2 days 10 hours 32 minutes and 40 seconds......till it is August 18th. Boy has this summer flown...Kids are back in school soon--I feel like they just got out! Talk about wishing the summer away with this trip.

 

[MissMichelle]

LOOK AT MY TICKER!!!

Going to shower now and catch some ZZZ's (but Im too excited to sleep!!!)

I'll try and get on in the morning to say my goodbyes...If not I'll post tomorrow around 2ish to update.

Looks like Hurricane Fay is on her way through Florida and we may get a bit of her wrath...Oh well---I'LL BE IN DISNEY

 

[MissMichelle]

YAWN....SO I got up @ 3:30 and showered and am sitting here doing last minute things (about to pack the laptop up) and will be picking up ~M~ and her family in about 30 minutes so that they limo can get us --and we'll be heading to the airport. If all goes as planned we'll be landing in Orlando @ 11:30 and will be @ CSR by 1 the latest


I have been watching Fay and we are modifiying our plans as of now just to be safe for Tuesday---If we stay in most of the day @ the resort we'll just do dinner @ Maya Grille ...If Fay is just winds and rain we'll head to our planned parks with ponchos and just be thankful we are in Disney

Have a great week guys---Hope everyone stops by and reads about our LIVE adventure

 

[Glendamax]

Byeeeee . . . . Michelle! I'll keep checking in!

 

[kaysmommie]

Can't wait to hear all about your trip and CSR. A live report is so fun to read. Please pics of CSR if you can. I can't wait to stay there in October. I heard they are getting Queeen beds . Hoping Fay stays away and you have good weather . Have a great time!!!

 

[MissMichelle]

Im here---sipping a Carribean Mojito while the kids and daddy play in the pool..just me and Melissa stayed in and we are relaxing..The room Gods smiled down on us...Or was it Luisito that hooked us up?? LOL He rocked...I have started writing a bit about today so far but will really get to it later.

Just a lil rain so far---dinner @ Le Cellier at 5 so I'll report on the full day soon.

BYE!!

 

[cherbear]

I pray that your plans don't get fouled up by Fay!

Mmmm...Le Cellier! Man, I wish I could trade places with you right now.

So when I last left off it was 4 am and we were getting everything ready to go. TC left just before 5 and picked up ~M~ and her family. They made a quick stop @ Dunkin Donuts and then came to the house. My parents live downstairs from me and I went down to give them our car keys in case they needed to move the cars or anything. The kids were outside being a little too loud for 5 am but but the rooster up the street beat them in terms of volume Gramma and Poppa came out to give their goodbyes and wish us a great trip. No pics of them--they were in PJ's still.

The limo arrived just after 5:30 and we loaded up snapping these photos:

The ride into Boston was pretty uneventful and we made our way inside to check our luggage. The line was long but we moved quickly through it. Security lines were at a stand still and it took quite awhile (or seemed it even more so since Kayla was getting restless. ) The time was nearing boarding (8 AM) and we needed to make a stop @ Starbucks and one @ Dunkin.We headed to the gate and checked our flight, *On Time* We ate quickly and let the kids watch a few planes take off and were called to board moments later.

At this moment we are flying and our current location (by the seat back tv's ---LOVE EM!) says we are in New Jersey---And scheduled arrival is for 11:30. Pilot just told us we are 830 miles away.

Kids are being pretty good...Kayla doesnt understand that she has to stay seat belted and she gave a bit of trouble so we just moved the kids around and put Ashley with her. That always works. Jalen and Trae are watching TV and eating a bag of gummi bears...Nice morning snack--lol
