If only Tinker Bell was related to the tooth fairy... (FINISHED 4/26)

Could be worse, he could have been putting on a rubber glove that extended to his elbow.

Moooon Riverrrrr.

Call me a nerd, but we have an actual printed checklist. It's used for every trip from an overnight getaway to 2 weeks in Disney World. There are columns for each member of the family, plus the dogs when they come with us, and 'misc' column that lists every camera, phone, charger, etc. (And yes, there is a "sunglasses" entry under each person. Except the dogs.) Every item gets checked off as it gets packed, then again as the bag gets loaded. Don't want a repeat of that time we forgot the toiletry bag in the bathroom and had to scramble to get DW's contacts prescription faxed to us so she could get another set while on vacation. !

The sad part is... I HAD a checklist. But in the rush to get out the door I probably made one of those rookie mistakes of getting distracted... you know... grab sunglasses... have to put them down to pick up the suitcases... etc. It's hereditary I think

Could be worse, he could have been putting on a rubber glove that extended to his elbow. !

Sheesh... didn't even cross my mind!

There you go - the vacation was worth it before it even began!!

Indeed

I'm going to build that someday. And it's going to be awesome!

One day I want to build this in my front yard:

Finally a trip report that I'll be able to keep up with. Glad to get in early on this one. I'm still 10 pages behind on Mark's and feel like I've missed out on all the fun.

I know what you mean! Those guys are racking it up over there. Putting the DIS Dad's Club thread to shame

Moooon Riverrrrr.

This is NOT one of those TR's.

This sounds serious. Wonder who's laptop he is talki... uh oh. Peanut butter! That's my laptop. I walk over and claim responsibility for it. "Sir, you are going to need to go with this gentleman." Ummmm... ok? So me and this other TSA worker - who is quite larger than I (height and width-wise... and I'm 6'2", 200lbs!) - commence to have a private meeting at a table at the end of the security line. Turns out that you have to take the laptop OUT of the bag and place it in a separate bin. (Insert face-palm here) Oops. A well-seasoned traveler I am not. After a well-deserved lecture about the PROPER way to submit a laptop for security screening, the kind TSA worker gives me a clean report and sends me on my way.

As folks are still getting settled, a guy starts a conversation with me from across the aisle. Seemed like a nice, young man. Don't remember what we were chit-chatting about, but about 5 minutes later, a flight attendant comes over and sternly asks the man to come with her. Another uh oh. I watch as the pair walk up to the cabin area... and then off the plane. Strange. Not sure what that was about... but another 5 minutes go by and it looks like the plane has been finally loaded and is ready to go. Then another 5 minutes. And another. Then, wouldn't you know it, that same young man was being escorted back onto the plane. He didn't look as happy as before... and even appeared to be ashamed. I wasn't going to poke my nose into his business, but after he got buckled in, he leans over to me and tells me the story. Turns out that as he boarded the plane, he was trying to be funny and said the the captain something along the lines of "Hope you cleared the bombs off the plan." He learned his lesson the hard way. Apparently you get a thorough talking to for comments like that... who knew? I didn't really talk to him the rest of the flight. But I sure kept my eye on him!

Wow, breaking TSA security protocol, and associating with a known terrorist (or at least someone who jokes about bombs). Looks like Don is about one more small mishap away from the no-fly list!

Guess I'm a little late to the party.
Luckily, it's Don's TR, so I'm not really even behind yet. If I'm tracking it so far we have:

Pros:
"A" Group boarding
Unsolicited Pilot's wings
DisDad father-daughter moment on the plane
Almost-private ME transportation to the resort

Cons:
Stuffed bear having Carnation Instant Breakfast drink for breakfast
Forgot sunglasses at home
Minor TSA embarrassment moment

What's next Don, huh? Huh? What's next?

Is there an update yet?




Now?


How about now?

Late? That's a four letter word that doesn't register in this TR Very nice way to sum up the report so far. No update yet.



Or yet...

He's probably trying to explain to his wife why he lost $3200 on a Vegas prop bet about Trip Reports on Disboards.com
