DDA Chapter 18

[Steffy]

So on Thursday I will be attending the 4th funeral for the year. As my Grandpa passed away early this morning between 4am and 7am. His viewing is on Wednesday and the funeral is Thursday.

The ironic part is 6 years ago today my Pop-pop had passed away. They both passed away on February 9th but 6 years apart. But his funeral and viewing was on Valentine's day. This is not the best time to go as flowers are a fortune. But what can you do.

I am going through pictures. My Aunt and Grandma are here now.

I hope that you are all doing well.

I am so very sorry Becky. This year has not been at all kind to you. Gentle hugs.

Looks like we will be arriving on the 6th and leaving on the 13th. Early on the 13th. So no conflict with my birthday. One entire week before it.

Now I need to find a car. I have an Entertainment book. I also have the Emerald Aisle or whatever it is called. Haven't looked at it since it came in the mail. I'll have her call tomorrow, get it booked.

This gives me something to spass out about for the next few months, as I am soooooo excited about my Hilton Head trip in the frozen tundra. Whoopie!

Off to bed. Thanks for reading.

What a quandary. The Night of Joy will be September 11 & 12 this year. We could come for that and then we would leave on the 17th. That however, would really make me sad, as the 18th is my birthday. And if we are going to stay until the 17th, we might as well stay one more day. However C would run out of points. So I could use mine, no problem.

Exxcept we are staying in a 2BR at SSR for a week, and I would have enough points for a studio at OKW. So... do we do OKW at the beginning of our trip or the end? I'm thinking the begining, as we will be at where ever the NOJ is held until 1:00am both nights. Studio will be fine.

Next, we will need a car. We will be doing a lot of resort-resort travel this trip. We want to finally see the Boardwalk. Finally see Jellyrolls. Check out Beaches and Cream.

And lastly, airfare. I love SW. However AirTran opened a flight out of Harrisburg, which would save on time and has cheap parking. But the return from MCO is at 8:00 AM!!! Boooooooooooo. That ruins the last day. Plus Airtran charges for checked bags, any changes, window seats.

We need to come home on Saturday, as C needs at least one entire day of recovery before she returns to work. And actually, I really liked it when I had a day to decompress. The worst time ever was when I had to come to work the day after I got back from vacation. That super stunk.

So there is my dilemma. Our quick 7 day trip is going to turn into a 9 day trip. It is going to be stinking hot. I'm going to have to rent a car. It is going to be smack dab in the middle of free dining, so we will have to figure out where we want to eat by end of June. Did I mention it was going to be stinking hot??? And hurricane season!!!

Off to bed. That's all for now.

I'm new and you don't know me and I haven't read the entire thread, but I would like to throw in my 2 cents.
1 - Definitely stay the extra day.
2 - Stay at the Studio at the beginning of the trip. To down size at the end might be a bit of a bummer.
3 - Do you really need a car if you aren't going off property. The transportation system can be such an adventure.
4 - yes, it will be hot. Plan for siestas in the middle of the day. 1-4pm
5 - Hurricane season. Disney hotels are rated very high for hurricanes.
6 - Free dining. Lucky You!
7 - Have loads of fun.

Stephanie, I'm so happy you are still going to the World, even though you won't be spending your bday there!

OMG! That looks horrible! I guess I don't need one of those! I hope it works for you.

Thanks, Glynis. I'm pretty sure we don't have a meat plant around here!

I think you are right.

Have you called our vet?

Not yet. If Nicholas decides he wants to do that, I'll take him in so he can ask in person.

Good morning, DDA!
