I have not been to the board in a while I wanted to stop in and say "hello". We hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season. Several updates on our end...
Monica is now a full time US resident and can travel at will. We are booked on the Disney Southern Caribbean 10 night in September of 2006. Because she can now travel we have been making up for all of the trips she has missed. We just returned from Mexico where we spent time with her family.
While in Mexico we bought a house for when we visit. We may buy a second, larger home and use the first as a rental. I enjoyed seeing her family home (for the first time) and all of the wonderful food we had.
We now have another pet. Minnie is her name and she is a smaller version of Tinkerbell. I will have photos to upload soon. She is black and white and loves to chew on all of our furniture! I am hoping she quickly grows out of it like Tinkerbell did.
I just returned home from
Disneyland where I had breakfast with Disney Legend Ron Dominguez in Walt Disney's apartment on Main Street. His family used to own the 10 acres that is now New Orleans Square and he later became president of Disneyland. We had a great time and it was a wonderful Christmas gift from my wife!
While in Anaheim for my breakfast, I was staying at the Grand Californian and the hotel caught on fire at 3:00 AM in the morning. Although Disney and their PR machine made it seem like nothing happened, it was a true nightmare. We were forced to sleep inside of California Adventure for about 4 hours which did not go over well with too many people.
Monica and I are going to New York for our anniversary to see several Disney Broadway shows (Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Tarzan). To give her the gift, I had NYC's former mayor and (and a great attorney) Ed Koch call and sing "New York, New York" to her. It will be her first trip and should be a lot of fun!
We hope everyone is doing well and that they have a Happy New Year. We hope to see some of you on a
Disney Cruise in the near future!
