I'm worried about Hanna. I hope it fizzles out! Gustav just plain sucks. Those people don't need this again so soon!! I'm praying hard for everyone!

Hey there everyone,

The last couple days have been an adventure!!

Believe it or not I am in Florda right now!! We left Friday evening. We live in Louisiana and Hurricane Gustav is heading right for us. The last flight out of New Orleans airport was Friday evening at 8:20pm. So in the course of one day we had a garage sale, delivered a entertainment center, rushed packing, and drove to NO airport, jumped on a plane and landed in Orlando, and got the retal car, all in one day. Whew. I am still tired.

We also had to move our car rental reservation. We were supposed to get a full-size to fit us all in. Well, the full-size was a Dodoge Charger. Not enough seat belts or luggage space. So we upgraded. To a Dodge Chrysler Van. There is no way its a 2008. It was dirty and tends to turn left all the time! Sorry, I am a major Cheverolet fan. In my book there is NO other car. Except GMC. Ha Ha!!!

Worst yet if you have reservations at the hotel at Old Town, run as far away as you can. Unless you like roaches and drag racing. On the way to NO which is like an hour away we called and reserved a room there. We had stayed there about 6 years ago and it was a pretty nice place. Well, now its not. We didn't stay long. As in an hour and then left to go hotel hunting. Fun Fun. No one had any rooms! I guess its because of Labor Day. So we rolled into an IHOP around 2:30am. We ate then went to looking again. Finally around 5:00a.m. we found a room. It was only two beds for six people so my little bro and I slept on the floor. I was so tired I didn't care.

So I woke up Saturday morning feeling a little more refreshed. We had to go to a different hotel. I crashed again when I got there. We just hung out there until we went to eat and then went to Wal-mart. Have to go there. Came back and watched Family Matters and Home Improvement. Then went back to bed. I would have wrote then but the WI FI at the hotel was in the lobby only. Oh my. I don't want to hand out in the lobby in my PJs. Uh, they need to get with the program.

So I am now at my great aunt and uncles house near Tampa. And Gustav is still barreling for LA. We are getting some of the weather from it here. So, I'm still reeling from it all. I think we are about to eat dinner so I'll come back later. I have lots of pics of our adventures. I'll post them as soon as I can.

Wow, sounds like you have had quite an adventure so far!

Yuk on the hotel thing. I can't get over how the health department lets some of these places stay in business.

I hope that everything goes well in NO too. I'm praying for that.

Can't wait for pictures.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

OH no! I hope that you guys are ok and that your home is okay. On the plus side (if there is one), you got to start your vacation a little early

 

[racefanof88]

We are starting to get some rain and wind from Gustav here now, in Mobile. I have been praying that this storm does not do to the Gulf Coast what Katrina did.

Anyway, I am glad ya'll are out of LA and getting ready to spend time with the Mouse. Glad you had a safe tirp. HAVE FUN. Looking forward to the pics .

 

[princesskayla]

Hey,I will be in Epcot on the 10th as well! We will be wearing matching teal, blue and green outfit. Say hi if you see us!!

 

[princesskayla]

wow, you get to start your adventure a little early and it does not sound like the best beginning in the world - but hey your going to Disneyworld. It will get better!! I am headed to the world next Monday so if you could - tell the rain to go away. Thank you!!

I sure will. You guys do the same. DD will be dressed like Jasmine in the morning. We have a back up Princess Dress if she gets tired of the costume. At night she'll be in her Epcot custom.
