Can't wait until Friday afternoon..that's when our flight leaves JFK to Orlando. Looking forward to meeting & greeting everyone Saturday. For those of you leaving today have a safe trip and may we ALL have plenty of sunshine for the week

Hey everyone!! Well, today is a much better day than last night. My back is feeling a ton better, and at least I can walk now. It still aches, but I'm mobile and that's good.

We took Emily to her 2yr check up and she's happy and healthy. Acting like a typical 2yr old, not wanting the dr to touch her at all.

Tonight is errands night. We need to go pick up contacts for Chris and I, find brown pants and blue socks for Chris (not to be worn together), and a pillowcase for the characters to sign. Then, I need to start packing tonight.

I talked to my boss this afternoon and he is giving me Friday afternoon off. YEAH!!! So, hopefully we can get out of St. Pete by 3pm and to Orlando a little early. Then, we can check into our hotel, change clothes and head to the MK for MNSSHP.

I really can't wait to meet everyone!!!!

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Amy..looks like it is just you and me on the boards today...all of the chatty people must have left already....having withdrawals because Hope and Lisa are not here to post!!

Glad your back is much better...I will have Aleve with me for my bum knee (fell on the ice in February) and the knee still gives me alot of pain!! Go easy on the packing and lifting so you don't overdo it..being pregnant and always tired plus a bad back is not pleasant (being pregnant is pleasant but not being tired and achy back!!).

Can't wait to meet you guys on Saturday...we fly out tomorrow night and will do one of the parks on Friday and Radisson on Friday night.

For the Orlando posters, where is the nearest Disney Outlet to Downtown Disney??? Thanks. Mary Jo

Hi everyone that hasn't left yet.

It's Jim masquerading as Fiona.

We're just about to go out the door. The van is all packed finally.

Last day surprises:

- I had to run up to the doctor (I've got an ear infection).

- Somehow a chipmunk got in the house. (We're letting the stay-at-homes deal with it.)

- Fiona can't find her passport. (Oops... I was wrong. She has it.)

See you all when we get there.



Fiona & Jim.

FYI....just got off the phone with Arlene (ARL01) and her mom had surgery last night and just got out of the hospital and is doing well so they will be going on the cruise after all....pixie dust and prayers helped!!

Wasn't sure if she would get a chance to post or not and wanted to let all the people left behind (boo-hoo) and working know the outcome!! Gorgeous day here today...supposed to be low 70's for the next few days...sure, freeze before we go away, gorgeous while we are gone and probably a foot of snow when we get home!!

Where is everyone????? Have to get our hair cut tonight (myself and dd) so that will be an all night affair!! Then want to watch Larry King because Siegfried of Siegfried and Roy will be on there (saw their show in Vegas and loved it) to say that the show will go on. Yeah!! How scary for Roy!!

Still not packed but not worried. Mary Jo

 

[hopelea]

In the process of packing the van. We are out of here EARLY tomorrow AM. We will be watching for Papa & Kathy on the road. Should be traveling the same route around the same time!!

Just couldn't stay away........but this is my last post. I have a ton to do. I am off of work now.

Sara just took our house key to the neighbor and now I have to finish things around the house!!

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Hope...knew you wouldn't last on the self imposed exile...we missed you!! Have a safe journey!! Mary Jo

 

[RellingTwin]

I'M ON VACATION!!! Everyone at work was SO happy to see me go! . I actully have been trying NOT to talk about the cruise for the past few days. Today was pretty busy....BUT...I want every vacation day to feel as LONG as today!

Glad to hear Alrene's mom is doing ok! Jim, I hope your ear feels better soon!

Amy..did you ever hear anything about your camera?

I am going to ask the family if they would rather head to FLA tomorrow after school is out, rather then early AM Friday morning.

 

[RellingTwin]

I just checked the Radisson web site and they have a suite available for Thursday night. Family says go for it, but we want to have the car serviced tomorrow, so I will wait to be sure.The idea of sleepin in on Friday morning and spending a relaxing day at the Radisson is pretty atractive!

 

[papa]

In the middle of packing and getting stuff out to the car. Hope we will go through Chattanooga and down I-75 to the florida turnpike to Kississimmee. Going to drive over to the radisson at the port on Friday.

Glad that Arlene's mom is ok.

Mike

You guys started this thread months ago.

Now you are down to just a few days.


May you all have a safe journey, and more fun than you would ever expect.

All the best

Jim

 

[Twinave]

I'm still here. LOL I have 1/2 day at work tomorrow, then home, pack, load car, finish last minute things, and go to sleep. Wake-up drive to Radisson! Evil twin sister is trying to get me to leave for Port Canaveral Thursday evening, but DH is a bit reluctant. Wish I could make him change his mind, but that is NOT an easy thing to do.

Glad we got to the 7000 post. I tried to post last night, but site was just not working right. Who will keep our thread alive while we are at sea?

Sorcerer1, Thanks for your well wishes. Wish you were joining us!

See Ya'll SOON, Ave'

 

[RellingTwin]

Thanks Jim!

Ave, I am NOT evil, I just want to get this vacation started!!!And it's not as much fun without my best friend

Thanks for the call Kathy and Mike! I can't wait to see you both at the Radisson on Friday

 

[JenKatt]

I still have 2 days left at work, plus we were told today to expect an early morning phone call tomorrow for a recall (meaning we have to head into base extra early tomorrow) Why can't it be Friday night?

Mary Jo,
There is a Disney outlet in the Buena Vista (?) outlets on Apopka Vineland road. If you just go out the main entrance of Downtown Disney and turn right onto Apopka Vineland, go under I-4 and keep going for a little bit, it will be on the left side of the road. I go there to the Reebok outlet, so I know how to get there. If you're looking for little kid clothes or Princess dresses, the Disney Worldport store where I work has them on a fantastic sale. They are only $9.99! It's on International Drive at Pointe Orlando. If you need more directions than that, you can ask at your hotel desk and they can give you directions. Have fun and see you Sat.

No news on the camera. But, the insurance money came in and we ordered a new camera. It just got here today. Chris ordered the memory stick from another place and it was supposed to be here today, but it ended up going from CA->SC->FL->PA->SC and we're waiting for it to come back to FL. It was supposed to here 2nd day air, but it looks like it'll be 3-day instead. As long as it's here by tomorrow evening, I'm ok with it.

We spent this entire evening out running errands. And, we got it all done. So, tomorrow I will be packing and getting things ready. We're hoping to leave here Friday no later than 3pm.
