Are you driving all the way from New York to Florida?

Are you driving all the way from New York to Florida?

Yes, this will be our 12th or 13th time driving. It's easier for us and we make it part of the vacation. It's about 1,250 miles one way. We leave mid-day Friday to get there on Sunday. I am soooo ready for this trip.

WOOHOO!!!! So close.... I can almost taste it now!

Our DME tickets arrived; I should start to hunt down summer-specific clothing for the trip and may as well launder them and pack em up right away. We'll be departing before we know it! I gotta savour this trip since I already know that 2012 we won't be at WDW but I may try an coax hubby into DL for a short 4-5 night vacay.

5 weeks until departure.

We now have a sick cat and the shirt I ordered to wear on Saturday is HUGE. As in, so enormous I look ridiculous in it. It is the same size I usually wear, but it is at least a full size bigger then the one from last year. Maybe more than a full size. It is GIGANTIC. And the shipping on the damn thing was $11. I can't decide if I am going to send it back or just keep it an order a smaller one.

Not sure what is going on with the cat, either. DH is talking with the vet to see if they can come up with a plan.

Sorry about kitty. Hopefully the vet will be able to help you get kitty together before you leave so you're not worried while away.


As for the shirt, night shirt? pool cover up? Eat a lot of Mickey Bars and grow into it?....

We just went with plain red from Wal Mart at $4.50 each. We got DS's yesterday just need to get one for DD and we'll be all set.

Vet says her first labs should be back tomorrow. Not sure where we go from there. Right now the cat is locked in DS's bathroom.

The shirt is just a debacle. I can probably send it back for $3 or so. Then I will have to pay another $11 in shipping for them to send me a new one. DH and DS got shirts, too. So really, I need to send back all 3 OR I need to just deal with the tent shirt. The insane shipping charges are going to heavily influence the decision. DH told me to try to shrink it, but it says "pre shrunk" so I doubt that will be successful.

...We now have a sick cat...

I do hope your cat gets better! I've already had one new year's eve trip cancelled 'cause one of my cats was sick. I've got three of them.

Thank you. We have 3 as well.
The ill one is only 6 years old. All 3 of them stay indoors 100% of the time, so she hasn't been exposed to anything. The vet told DH it may be behavioral instead of health related, which would be a disaster. We shall see what the labs show and go from there.

 

[Schotz]

Sorry about your pet problem. I have had such a deal and realized Vet's are mostly blood suckers. I pray in my heart that you loved one heals soon. Also pray that you are as healthy. I know what it is like. Not a good thing. Nothing a Dole Whip can fix

 

[Singledad]

praying for your kitty to get well soon!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Thanks for the good wishes!
Labs came back clear, so DH is taking her in for an exam this morning. Then we'll see what happens. Our vet is actually very logical and reasonable. We have never known him to do anything that was unnecessary. He has been taking care of our cats for YEARS.

I would like to think it was just some sort of temporary weirdness.

Still wrestling with the shirt dilemma, but that's obviously secondary to the cat.

I hope your cat's okay. We lost a 3 yr old cat suddenly just before a WDW trip once before. It was really hard to realize that keeping him inside, feeding him a top grade diet and providing stellar vet care wasn't enough to counteract something he had been born with. He had some issues that were called behavioural right up until we realized he was dying within days despite earlier clear labs.

Good luck finding a better answer for your fuzzy family member.

Well! THAT wasn't a very cheery story AT ALL! I am sorry about your kitty. I do hope we have a more favorable outcome, though.

Hope all is well with you & your family! I am still disappointed we won't get to see you in June!

I know the feeling. I got two cats here as well, one is 19 yo, the other 14 yo/
The older one has been limping for about 3 years now. Appearantly the muscles and nerves in one of his legs are not functioning anymore. I gave up on him three years ago, but he is still here..
Cats are strong animals. They tend to stick around. I feel for you, I know what it is like, when something is wrong, but they can't find what. Take care.

DP and I will be at Pop 5/29-6/6 - first time staying at pop - anyone else staying there during gay days?

First time to WDW was 2 years ago and during gay days. I called a travel agent to book my first trip in May09, and the travel agent asked, "I don't mean to offend you, but do you have any interest in going during gay day?" From that point, the conversation turned into 'gearl talk' and we love our TA! So glad she took her liberty with her suggestion - we had a BLAST and can't wait till this year!!!

We'd love to make some new WDW friends.... Thought we would go to the Tidal Wave party this year - anyone been? Anyone staying at Pop who is also going?
