Well, 23 days to go.
The packing has begun in earnest (since the warm weather clothes, here in CT, are LONG since past usefulness) over this past weekend, with only a few "old standby" pieces of warmer, just in case, clothing left to go into the suitcases. That, and the mountain of ancillary stuff needed to travel with little kids (all still in use, of course) from stuffed animals to favorite blankies to...well, you get the picture...is all that's left to pack.
we're also really gearing up, now. The GPS is programmed with all the places we need to travel to (Nick Hotel, AKL, Publix, Walmart, Joe's Crab Shack, etc) . They're all set up as favorites.
We've got our route down saved in the GPS.....CT to Fla via Tappen Zee bridge, garden state parkway, I-95 and I-4. My wife is ECSTATIC she won't have to man the maps and navigate. The doohickey with the nice ladies voice (funny, she doesn't scream at me when I miss an exit or take a wrong turn!!) will take care of all that for her.
We want to be pretty much set BEFORE X-mas comes, since we leave about 9 days later and don't want to have to scramble AFTER the holiday madness to get ready.
There's some questions from earlier in the thread (and others) that I'm going to try to get answered while there.
1) What's the wine, beer, and adult beverage selection at Zawadi like now.
2) Where are the internet jacks in the villas
3) What's the construction currently like in the main lodge (Jambo House) and at Kidani Village.
4) Will a wireless router work "plug and play" from a net connection.
Are there any other pressing questions anyone wants answered or things I missed from the past few pages of the thread? Just post them here and I'll add them to this post (which I'll then print, and take with me).
Since they've announced that DVC members will now have free internet access with all their stays (on points...not if we pay cash for a room) startin in '08...I'm assuming 1/1/08 is the start date....my plan is to do a "live" report while there. I'll try to get pictures up each day, too. I'll probably post a few pics here, a summary of what's going on at the lodge, and there will be a link to the main "live" report for everything else.

I can feel your excitement building!! 
I'm sure we'll think of more questions for you before you go!

When it became obvious he was uncomfortable, we made the heart-wrenching decision to have him put to sleep. Hard to say goodbye, but no one ever wants to see their pet suffer. Prayers for you, to help you through this.
I have lots of pics but they're all still on the memory cards - I promise to post soon!
, I could not seen the giraffe clearly but knew they were there. I headed down the hall to the Outlook and their were CM's very quietly hitting drums, almost like they were calling in the animals. I headed outside and was able to enjoy the beauty of the savannah. Ahhhh, I wish I could go back today......
We had the same thing when we got home, my husband had quite the clean-up because we had snow, freezing rain, and more snow. And then it snowed again 2 days later. This weekend we received another 5 inches! There's no doubt that we will have a white Christmas!
