Im back - with 2 trips on the go :-)

Hi all,

Although I've been here I haven't posted much, although I come on & nosey about most days.

I need to come back as we've got 2 trips planned for this year.

We had 12 nights planned in late June to an AI in Mexico, but as DH was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last Sept (not overweight & eats healthily :-( ) he didn't feel like going anymore - and we're not big drinkers either. We had paid a big deposit that we didn't want to lose & had to stick with Virgin flights so there was no than option other than FLORIDA!!!!
So we now have a 9 night trip in early June :-D

1 night in Orlando & 8 nights on Anna Maria Island.

And due to my family deciding to leave after 4 hrs on Xmas Day (amongst other thing.....) mind you they'd had their fill of rib of beef & 3bird roast first...
We booked a TCD flydrive leaving on Xmas Day. Lovely villa on Sunset Lakes booked too.

I am soo lucky & soo excited to have 2 trips to plan for.

It's good to be back.

Nice to see you back and posting Katie. Sorry to hear about your DH's diabetes, that sucks especially if he is otherwise healthy.

How exciting, though, to have two trips to plan for

I have always fancied going for Christmas/New Year but not sure about the crowds.

I've been the week before and after the Christmas Day. It was tiring. It is mobbed. But it can be done for sure. I would say there is one thing you absolutely have to be prepared to do though, which is get up really early and utilise mornings with a good plan. They open the parks at 7am Christmas week. Not many people get up at 7am! I can give you details of how we tacked it if you are interested. I did more planning for that trip than any other.
