I thoroughly enjoyed your pictures.

OMG! I'm sorry that happened to you...that is REALLY, REALLY weird...
I hope the bell desk guys did do something... at some point!
if you are up to it, maybe call Disney and report it...they have cameras all over the place and maybe that incident was captured...and they can get a pic of the guy....????
I'm really sorry that happened...I would be freaked out as I can imagine you were..I don't blame you for not wanting to go alone anymore...

I'm happy that I will have company for my October trip! I don't think I'm completely afraid to travel alone. I may take a couple more self defense courses, though.

Welcome back!

I'm glad you had great weather during your trip.

OK, the foot incident was creepy! ICK! Didn't you deal with weirdos in Vegas, too?

When I get a chance, I'll check out your Flickr photos.

Thanks! Man- Vegas was nothing but weirdos!
Isn't your trip coming up soon???

Weeeeeird! Once I get settled in at work (almost two weeks of stuff waiting on me to do ), I'm going to look at your pictures.

I didn't get to your TR until page FOUR! I am a bad DISer. I can't wait to read about your trip!

Creepy!!!!

I'm sooooo happy you are back!!!

Thanks!! I just got caught up on your PTR. Mark is such a great kid- you must be very proud of him. I'm excited for you that you have a surprise trip in December!! And I am looking forward to hearing about your September trip, too!

Now that I am over the shock of what happened on my trip, I wanted to keep up this PTR until I get back from the Keys if I can. John is ACTUALLY closing the diner for a week & we are going to Islamorada in July. I'm excited because I've never been there before & I'm sure I will take a million photos. I want to do a report for that trip. I also have a short October trip planned at Beach Club with my friend from PA. That will be a TON of fun because she hasn't been there since 2004! I'll definitely do a TR for that trip.
I have been working my butt off- literally. I leave my house at 5:30am to get to work & I get home at 5:15pm (almost 3 hours of that is spent driving), I take out the dogs, then I work out, shower, make dinner, eat dinner, & by then it is time for bed. It has all been worth it, though- I have lost 25 pounds so far and almost 3 sizes. I feel much better all of the time. I joined a new gym near my house, but it doesn't open until June 30th. I really can't wait!
If I can't keep this TR open for my Keys trip, I will start a new TR. Thanks for being patient with me!

Look at you Miss Slim and Trim! Congrats on the weight loss and for your upcoming trips! I hope that things slow down a bit for you though.

Thanks! I have really been working hard. Oh! I planted a garden at work. I will post photos soon. I'm going to go over & read your report because I saw that you posted an update!

April that is great news on the weight loss, clothes size. Keep it up, girl.

Can't wait to read the next TR...sounds like great fun.

Thanks! I can't wait to see what the Keys are like. I'll post all my photos!

Thanks! I'm sticking to it. I just wish I had more time before I have to cram my butt into a bathing suit in the Keys.

Hi April, been missing you here on the DISS. Hope all is well? Are you back from the keys???? I cant remember the dates you were going

 

[natebenma]

Wow, I missed the posts about your pre-Keys workouts! Congrats on your commitment and weight loss!

How is Isis doing?

Thanks, girls! We got back from the Keys on the 20th- it was a great, relaxing trip. I've missed you guys! Work has been so busy that I never have time to go on the DISboards. I've hit a plateau with the weight loss & it is frustrating. I'm working out 6 days a week- usually doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day shred & spending time on the treadmill. Hopefully something will happen soon because I'm starting to lose patience. I am grateful, though, that I've gone from a 16 to a 10 so far (is that TMI?)- my doctor let me stop taking one of my blood pressure medications because my blood pressure has gotten so much lower. Isis is doing well, thanks. She was pretty mad at me after I got back, but she got over it quickly (after spending about $50 on "gourmet" dog cookies) . I have uploaded all of my photos to Flickr- I just have to figure out how to post them into a trip report. I think I can get it all done this weekend, too. I can't wait to catch up on all of your reports & plans, too!!

It's so good to see you on the Dis again! I hate that work is keeping you too busy to chat much. I think you are doing an amazing job with your weight loss/exercise. Going from a size 16 to a 10 is FANTASTIC! and getting off one of your blood pressure medicines is even more FANTASTIC! I'm sooooo proud of you!

Thanks! I feel like I still have a long way to go, but at least I do feel better. I'm loving your TR- that story about the iron was priceless! You fugitive, you!

I'm not going to do a whole TR for the Keys- I've realized that we did a lot of relaxing & that would be one heck of a boring TR. My photos on Flickr pretty much say it all. We ate at one fancy place called Pierre's & they made the best veggie/rice meal for me. We went parasailing in Key West & I was sooooo scared. I didn't stop shaking until we were back on land for a while. It was a rush & I think I would do it again. They kind of slowly let you out on this 300 foot cable & they reel you back in when it is over. We stayed at a resort in Islamorada called the Islander- it looks scary on the outside- the buildings are motel-style & plain- but on the inside it was great. We had a full kitchen & a patio. There were 2 pools, a restaurant & a beach. We also went to a great place in Marathon called the turtle hospital where they treat & release sea turtles. I want to give them all of my money- it is a wonderful organization. Other than that, we visited the Hemingway House in Key West, went swimming, and relaxed. It was a great trip & I would definitely go again. The drive from Fort Lauderdale to the Keys was really awesome, too.

Hi April,
What a nice vacation you guys had! I checked out your photos, great, as always!! It looks so beautiful down there. I just saw a House Hunters episode down in key west, the houses were beautiful and so expensive! What did you think of the sunsets? I heard they are breathtaking!
Sorry about your weight loss plateau, but like Lisa said a 16 to a 10 is fantastic!

Thanks! The Keys were just awesome & the sunsets were fantastic. I got over my plateau by eating MORE. Crazy, but it worked!

So in 62 days, I'll be taking a short trip to WDW with my friend from PA who hasn't been there since 2004. Should be fun! We arrive separately on October 18th- I'm taking Magical Express & she's renting a car. So far, we plan to chill out at EPCOT & in the room that day until we go to the Halloween Party that night. The next day, we will head to Islands of Adventure because she is a huge Harry Potter fan. That night, we will go to Jiko. The next morning, we have breakfast at Boma at 9:30am, then will head to Animal Kingdom. That night maybe we will go back to EPCOT, then Jellyrolls or something. The next morning, we have a late breakfast at 1900 Park Fare, then I'm not sure what we will do during the day. That night is EMH at DHS, so we will definitely be doing that! We're staying at Beach Club. I really can't wait for this & I can't tell you how bad the WDW withdrawals have been. I was *just* there in May & I'm already dying to back!!!!
