Girls Trip~OLD THREAD (see first post for link to new one)

[sierranevada]

Beth - just sent you a PM with all the confirmation numbers and the ladies that I have for each meal -slight different than first page.

I actually got the reservations in a very nice word doc from vacation planning. I can bring some copies to the M&G - maybe one per room so everyone has the confirm numbers and names.

I just emailed the doc to LisaCat so she could see if she can read it on her smartphone. She said it was small but the names are easy to read. So if anyone would like the list, please send me an email at:

bridgetkrussell at gmail.com

I will still bring some hard copies to the M&G

Oh, good! That never would have occurred to me since I don't have a smart phone.

 

[Belle Ella]

I'm also at the Grand. Is there room for one more?

Thanks!

If not I still don't have anyone with me yet so I've got room.

Wow, is everyone going to CoD? Looks like I'll be partying it up at the parks all by my lonesome. Hmmmmm, what shall I do? Maybe I'll head over the CA to check out the progress on Carsland and BVS....ride a few rides....maybe have a glass of wine at the Al Fresco Lounge and people watch before heading back over to DL to meet up with everyone for dinner.

What I will not be doing is riding the TOT!

Not everyone is going. I'm sure you won't be all alone. Those plans sound nice. Although I had to Google Al Fresco Lounge to see where that was. LOL

LATEST CoD RIDE LIST UPDATE:

Company D:
Wanting a ride:

Carol
Lisa (Carol's DD)
Jen (MrsPinup)
Holly
Melody
Kelly
Rosemarie

With a car: (the first name listed is the driver and the number is how many passengers they can take)
Kandace + Jamay + Bridget + Lisa (full)
Trudi + Sarah + Laurie + Lisa + Patrice (full)
Tammy + Deb + Steph + Wendy + Katie (full)
Cynthia + Brandi + Nicole + Becci (full)
Vicki + Stacie + SarahMay + 1 other
Monica + 4 others
Melissa + 4 others
Jess + 3 others
Jill + 3 others



If anyone is listed in a spot they don't want to be in, just let me know.

Katie, I know you said you'd drive, but Tammy has a large Tahoe and said she could take a couple. It made sense to put you all together since y'all are roomies, but if you'd still rather drive, let me know.

Carol, Jen, and Holly, since you all (along with Carol's DD) are also roomies why not travel together? Maybe catch a ride with either Melissa or Monica since they each have room for 4 passengers.

Kelly, maybe you and your mom could ride with Jill?


Just tossing out ideas to make sure that not only does everyone have a ride that needs one, but we don't have anyone going alone, unless of course they want to.

I'm not going, solo wandering around the parks is fun or I'm sure there are others who will join you if you wish... you have some great plans, minus the wine and adding TOT Being scared is part of the fun.

You're loveable so I'm sure someone will hang out with you . But now that you mentioned Al Fresco lounge, I want to go there! I'll have to try and squeeze this into my plans.

Katie, I know you said you'd drive, but Tammy has a large Tahoe and said she could take a couple. It made sense to put you all together since y'all are roomies, but if you'd still rather drive, let me know.

That's totally fine Beth. It will spare Wendy and Steph from having to ride in my hoopty again .

 

[lulubelle]

I won't be at CoD either. And Bree will be at work. She doesn't arrive until 6 pm on Friday. I would love to join you guys. Yes on the wine, no on the Tot! I have been wanting to try the wine flight with cheese pairings. It gets fabulous reviews. Plus, we may have FPasses gathered from the morning that we can use.

I started on a new meal planning service, I've used E-mealz in the past... but.... whoever writes them tends to go for the heavy, OMG I'm so full, I can't believe I'm using this (can of cream soup/crushed crackers/can of refrigerated biscuits), bijillion calories meals. Took a peek at their vegetarian meals.. uhhh hmmm, which fake meat substance (fake sausage, fake burgers, tempeh, seitan.. gah!!!) will we use today? I don't mind the occasional veggie burger. The point of going veg is to eat a wide variety of plant based foods, not to make the typical meal but substitute some pre-made processed thing for the meat... sometimes that's fine.. but not everyday! Too expensive!

Anyway, we're using the meal planning from Fresh20. Their style is all fresh ingredients (no frozen, no canned), of course I need my budget cutting spin because produce, a fresh tomato for example, in a MN winter is :
A. expensive
B. not very good in taste
C. likely not a great nutritional value as it has been shipped across the world, sat in a warehouse, sits on the grocery shelf (getting sprayed on every few minutes if it's a leafy green).

Nothing wrong with frozen (nothing added) vegetables or canned tomato (no salt/no sugar added).
sooooooooooooo... the point.. I have one in this rambling somewhere.. somewhere.... file error, can not be found..


ohh yeah


We like it!

Takes away the "stare at the fridge" moment each evening. No more hearing "what are we having" from each member of the family - I point at the day's list tacked to the fridge. Don't like it? Starve!

I got the plan for cheap. Duhhhh of course I did, says the coupon crazed lady. It was on a daily deal site 50% off , plus had some credit left it was only $7 for 6 months. Yay me!

I'm making a stir fry tonight - red bell peppers, mushroom, green onion, tofu (don't sneer at the mysterious wonder that is tofu, it's actually yummy if you do it right. "Mmmmm tofu" drool Homer style).


What are you having?

 

[Califgirl]

Bernice, your new meal plan sounds fabulous. I've always wanted to try something like that, but I've had the same objections as you: too heavy in calories and processed foods, or too expensive.

Let me know how you like it - and if you have any favorite recipes, would you pass them along? We get good produce year round in Calif. Even the tomatoes taste pretty good right now (but not as good as the off the vine summer crop)

 

[LisaCat]

ok, all 3 of you are riding with me and Sarah.
Will all of you be at the BBQ? If so we'll all walk to my car together.

Patrice and I are signed up for the BBQ.

I will still bring some hard copies to the M&G

The app I'm using is called "Quickoffice" and it came with my (android) phone. You can't edit anything, but you can view office stuff with it. The paid version lets you edit. I can do without that. LOL

I don't do ToT either. I know that ride would make me an unhappy camper. A single drop, I could probably handle, but the up and down would do a number on both my stomach and my head. No thanks. LOL

 

[Queenbillabong]

Bock, bock, bock (okay, I'm terrified of TOT too, but it's fun to make fun of you!)

........... That is the most stressful part of the day, trying to figure out what to make for dinner. I never want to hear that question "What's for dinner?".

 

[21yankees]

I had responded on FB that I would like to go to CoD but didn't see my name here. Please add me to the list.

Thank you.

[kelmac284]

Beth we would love to ride with Jill or whoever. Just let us know. We are staying at the DLH so not too far from GCH. We will be happy to meet whoever wherever. Thanks!!

Oh and I LOVE TOT!! I only went on it once the last time I was there so more than ready to go!!

 

[Belle Ella]

Last years Diva trip was the first time I ever went on TOT. Somehow Mel, Tina and Vicki talked me into it. Haha, I was petrified, but good memories.

Jess, I'm pretty sure Mel, Tina and Vicki have talked me into doing something I didn't want to either. Those three are quite the influential type.

Bernice, your meal plan sounds very healthy. Since I just cook for me, I really don't cook much anymore. So I end up eating a lot of processed food, which is so bad. I don't eat out much but need to have more fresh fruits and veggies. And I have no excuse as we have wonderful fresh produce here year round. Are your boys adventurous eaters or picky?

 

[mommaU4]

That's totally fine Beth. It will spare Wendy and Steph from having to ride in my hoopty again .

Hey, hooptys rock.

Yes on the wine, no on the Tot!

See Capri, you are not alone...

What are you having?

Uhhhh, well.... I made lemon bars.
