The brown truck of joy arrived! Our friendly driver delivered our new coffee table and Chase Disney Debit Kermit the Frog pins..... no ABD box of goodies. Maybe tomorrow!

 

[DDuck4Life]

Same for us got all excited when the truck showed up. But they only had DS's Birthday Presents from the Disney Store no ABD box for me. Oh well hopefully tomorrow they show up for everyone!!!

 

[OKW Lover]

The Brown Truck of Joy just delivered the ABD Box. Yay!

Not disclosing contents so you can all be surprised when you open yours.

OH Thank You Brown truck it's our ABD BOX

I have to keep the emergency corkscrew for Christy. It is on all trips.

Not to worry - we travel with an emergency corkscrew. Who is surprised?

Of course, a nice Italian corkscrew might be nice....

Our box arrived as well. For a minute I thought that we were missing luggage tags since they were not in itinerary folder but rather the other more elegant one. This makes it finally feel like it really is going to happen.

 

[k5jm]

Box was waiting for me at the door when I got home!

 

[khertz]

Well, I'm excited that we got our box but I can't help being a little bummed that we got another couples paperwork. It just isn't quite the same opening the book and seeing someone else's names in it. hopefully they bring the one with our names on the trip so we can trade!

 

[OKW Lover]

Box was waiting for me at the door when I got home!

...and I'm sure you are waiting patiently for Christy to get home before opening it.

 

[k5jm]

Yikes! Well, there is a Christy, Kristy, and 2 Dustins.

 

[Sarabi's Cubs]

...and I'm sure you are waiting patiently for Christy to get home before opening it.

I confess - I did not wait for Brian. Ripped that box right open! So much left to do and so little time to do it!

In the words of Tim Gunn....Make It Work!

 

[KathyTX]

Okay, please tell me again about getting Euros: do you get a supply before the trip, or wait and get some from an ATM in Rome?

I do now have a credit card with no foreign exchange fees- ready to shop!!!

DUH!!!! Nevermind. I asked this back on page 23 and got lots of helpful answers. Need. More. Sleep.

We've found that as we get older we need longer to recover from our vacations.

Jeff, that is the TRUTH! My brain is still sun-addled! And I'm having sad ocean-withdrawal feelings. I need to go back to the island, I think.

Or maybe whip up a batch of rum punch.

Seems that we will have many of them on this trip , John carries ours and Jean and Rosie never leave home without theirs and a back up and a back up for the back up

Now we all need to gather together and share the fruits of this trip

ARE WE THERE YET !!!

Kathy and Roger will bring your book to Rome.
