Not yet Anne, we are not there yet and I am still posting from my iPhone.

Good morning everyone!
We are in Georgia and our estimated time of arrival 12:30pm today.
We were going to do a night at the Gaylord Palms, but it was spend $200. for one night and we couldn't justify that expense. So we are using eight points and will be spending tonight at Old Key West.
This will be good as we have only stayed at SSR before.
I will check in later!
Have a great day!

Safe driving for the rest of the day. 8 points for OKW sounds like a great deal. I can't wait to hear about your stay at BLT.

Actually packing for me will start this weekend. I can't imagine having any of my clothing choices being packed this week and therefore not available to me.

Wow - as I wrote that I am just realizing how crazy it sounds not to be able to choose from all of my clothes.

The only thing left to pack are my shoes (which I am wearing now) and my toiletries.
Unless of course I find something last minute that needs to come along.

Drive safe!! Georgia (coming down I-75 at least) seems to take an eternity to drive through. I hope your route goes quicker!!!

Good deal on the 8pts vs. $200....

Is everyone (who can) planning on doing on-linbe check in today?

They are on I-95 so Georgia is going to be a short leg of the trip - Florida is going to be the part that drags on forever. You cross that state line and think WE HERE! and then you have to drive to Orlando. The time seems to drag.

After coming down 75 in Georgia, that last 3.5-4 hours is nothing. (Oh and you can go back to driving at a normal pace.)

Just checked in on-line!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I've never done the I-75 route. I-95 goes through a very short portion of Georgia, so you traveled one state in what seems like minutes only to have to navigate Jacksonville, go down the coast and then across I-4. I-4 can be a bear in Orlando depending on the time of day and weather. I remember one trip getting stuck in traffic on I-4 - after 14 hours of travel, the last thing you want is to sit in traffic.

Hi George! We took care of the front yard this afternoon as far as leaves go. We have about 8 bags up at the curb. Just wanted to let you know that I wasn't slackin' anymore.

Now the backyard might take me longer than an afternoon and the yard waste picker-uppers might not like to see 20+ bags out there all at one time. I'll have to gauge myself.

Hi Kathy. You need to think about DAP now. Save the rest of the leaves for DH when he comes home in January.

Hi George, didn't look at the picture yet.
I will not need any toothpicks for DAP, as I am getting plenty of sleep on this trip. John won't let me drive!

Good to hear from you Kat. Say hi to John and the boys for me.

Happy Cyber-Monday everyone....

Hi Kelly. Will check out some things if possible today. Work is getting in the way now.

To be honest, it was Anne's idea to take the pic - without her, we wouldn't have even had the one we got. Thanks Anne! Seeing everyone got me even more excited for DAP - the events are always so much fun but the people are where the magic really comes from. I can't wait to see everyone again!

Hi Stacy. And we'll be kicking it off in grand style with Yeehaa Bob.

Is everyone (who can) planning on doing on-linbe check in today?

Hi Todd. I tried to check-in this morning but as usual, Disney systems don't work when you want them to.

I started to think you lost your marbles George, but then I remembered she probably will not be knee deep in white in January.

DOH! Figures.

We drove to Miami a couple of years ago. It takes about 8 years to get from the Florida border to Miami.

I was just reviewing Southwest's baggage policies in regards to carry on items and chuckled when I saw this:

"•Excess Baggage: Effective June 17, 2009, your 3rd through 9th bag or item will incur a charge of $50 per piece, and any bag or item thereafter will be $110 per piece."

Who travels with 10 pieces of checked luggage???

With Southwest, I am allowed my carry-on along with a murse or man bag, right?

See you all in 8 - 10 days!

Whoa DAP!
