Thanks to everyone for your well wishes. It is like we are leaving some of our best friends behind...
but we will tell all when we return!
I plan to keep a journal so that it won't take too long to write the trip report when we get home! At least, that's my plan!
As I type this, we have 12 hours until we leave for the airport. We have to go a little early because they are tearing up the road in front of the airport and we have to park one car in the long term parking lot! That and the fact that there are 10 of us to get checked in, luggage taken care of and all, we think we will need the extra time.
We are also a little concerned about the heavy duty wires in Karlyn's chest that have been there since her open heart surgery. Not sure if they will set off the alarms at the TSA section. There isn't much but skin covering them up, she is so skinny! Lindsey was thinking about carrying her latest chest x-ray that shows the wires quite clearly but we decided that probably wouldn't be necessary. I think if they need us to we can show them the major scar that runs down the middle of her chest and that should explain everything.
To those of you joining us in the world this week, hope we might run into each other.
For those of you going through withdrawl from the world, I know how you feel!
And for those lucky friends who are still anticipating, planning and packing, Don't wait too long or you will be like me, still trying to get my act together! However, Tim and Mike did clean the house for me while I was at work today!
They are the best son and husband anyone could ask for! I really am almost done!
Well, I guess that's all, We'll write when we get home.
Our love and thanks to you all for helping this to be a most wonderful adventure!

Oh wow and wow again! You're leaving in the morning! I do hope you have a chance to log in one last time and see this message. I haven't posted often, but I've been reading your pre-trip and I think your family is so marvellous and loving, so very supportive of Karlyn and her siblings and parents. You guys so deserve to have this wonderful time together. As I first read somewhere here...just go where the magic takes you and make fantastic memories together!!! Then come back home and share them with us!
And BTW, terrific job on the sewing...a world I have not re-entered since I botched my one and only attempt - a t-shirt made in my Grade 8 (mandatoyy) home economics class. Gosh, that was, oh...33 years ago! DO they still even teach Home Ec anymore?!? And isn't it telling that I was more successful making a wooden Tic Tac Toe board in (also mandatory) Shop class?
All the arrivals from the Big Give look so amazing. And I learned a few days ago that we are going to be part of the Big Give too! Those DISBoutiquers are really spreading the pixie dust over!
Have a wonderful time!
Blessings,
Alison

I can't wait to hear and see all about your trip. And to see you all in all those outfits you made
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning. You'll be going to the airport about the time I'm getting my boys up for school

WELCOME HOME! I can't wait to hear all about the trip. I've got my popcorn 
ready and my hot chocolate? (well it is starting to get cooler here) and my computer 
ready and waiting for the report. I'll probably hear about it before you are able to post though.

We are back! The time went by so quickly and now it's over. I just have one thing to say:
IT WAS AWESOME!
We had the most incredible experience. Yes, there was some rain, in fact, on the first day when we got there, there was lots and lots of rain. If it rained like that in Utah, we would have flash floods like you can't believe. We just learned that we all have a little bit of duck in us and we can live with rain.
Most of the words for the report are written, I just have to coordinate them with the pictures. So the report will be coming soon! I do have one really exciting thing that happened that I just have to share with you all, kind of like a teaser!
When we went to check in at Port Orleans Riverside, after going to GKTW with Karlyn and her family, we gave the CM our reservation information and asked if it would be possible to have our two rooms connecting and if not, at least adjoining. She looked on the computer and then asked if she could take the papers for a moment and she would be right back. I told Mandy that it is never a good sign when they look at the computer and then ask if they can go to the back room for a moment! Boy, was I ever wrong this time.
When CM Camila came back out, she asked if it would be alright if they offered us an upgrade to a 2 bedroom villa at Old Key West.
Now if I was a good actor, I would have said "Oh I guess if we have to." However, I am not a good actor and it was all I could do to keep myself from jumping up and down and shouting "We got an Upgrade!" I didn't do this though because I didn't want to be attacked by the people standing in line behind me. So very calmly, I told Mandy to go tell her Dad that we didn't have a room at POR (Just so I could see him get a little angry) and then tell him we were going to OKW. We had stayed there about 12 years ago with his parents and so we knew how cool this would be! Dear Camila said "You can just consider this a little Magic Moment." I wanted to jump over the counter and give that girl a giant hug...but remember, I was trying to stay in control.
Anyway, more to come soon, I promise. And thanks to you all for everything you did, kind thoughts and words, gorgeous clothes, helpful information or just hanging in there with us.
