What is winter stuff? Closed toed shoes?

Now THAT is funny!

We Florida peeps are lucky to have gone skiing a few years ago, we actually have appropriate gear for this trip lol. My other winter jacket is a hoodie! You will know which one is me and which one is Sarah - she'll be in shorts and a t-shirt, and I'll be all bundled up with chattering teeth!

Just don't forget the mittens!

We are in KY so we have all 4 seasons and winter is my least favorite. You will be right there with Joanne since she is a FL. person. Dan and Nancy will be like Sarah with the shorts and tees since they are from Maine. We were in Orlando last week and had great weather! We went through Clermont and I commented that you lived there. I can not believe the new construction.

Just don't forget the mittens!

I bought the cutest mittens at WDW in January just for this trip. I also bought a cute scarf. Get the Ipad it is great! We have one and we love it. I also have a kindel that has to go with me. I have downloaded several childrens books that I read to my 5 month old granddaughter. I will need the extra space for all of the things I will buy her.

Thanks for the link!

Yes, last week in Orlando was FANTASTIC. It's starting to get hot again though, summer is on the way. We actually live in Casselberry, but it's not that far from Clermont. All of the Central FL cities sound the same....I tell people we are in Winter Springs, because if we step left about 10 feet we're there. There is Winter Park, Winter Garden and Winter Springs all within about an hour of one another! This place is confusing.

Actually I tell most people we live in Orlando. You say Casselberry or Winter Springs and they go "huh? Is that near Miami?"

And THANK YOU, I totally forgot about mittens! Lionel has gloves so he is fine, but I have had the same mittens for the last 10 years and one has a hole in it. Time for an upgrade. I'm apparently destined to spend the morning on LL Bean. And also reading that TR.

Lionel texted me and said "don't forget to write today" - I'm working at home today. Work in the loosest sense of the word! He knows I have to get it out of my system though. I can't write about beta carotene supplements when all I have on the brain is Alaska....it just won't work!

Not up early, haven't been to bed yet. Worked a night shift. I get off in about 1/2 an hour and will go home to take a cat nap.

Ouch.

Seriously... all this talk of 4+ suitcases for a week long trip. Ian and I will have our 1.5 suitcase for the 10 days and a backpack and purse for our "other" bags.

Unless the weather is super different from what i've read, we should be wearing almost all of the same things that we wear when we're in florida with a few minor additions like real shoes for our excursions

It did give me pause when i considered how different the top deck will look compared to the bahamas trips. Probably not so many sunbathing folks out unless it's the crazy canucks
