Things have been so hectic for me lately (for you all to, I'm sure) but I am trying to carve out the time to finish writing the next update. I hope to have something up by the end of the weekend. I am going to set time out in my schedule to start getting back on DIS. I want to have this TR finished up before we head off on our next trip.
I haven't read everything, but I had to comment when I saw that you are thinking about starting a Ph.D. program! I am in a Ph.D. program now, also with hopes of becoming a professor and owning DVC. Sorry to hear that the degree got in the way of the cruise. I am finding that my degree is getting in the way of most vacations, especially in terms of finances! What programs are you applying to?
Ok, just read everything! I was a little intimidated by the 40 pages of TR and comments, but I was so into it, I just read through it all! I love that you are so candid and so thorough. Your first 2 (and a 1/4ish) days seem great, even with the major/minor drama moments. Love all of the goody bags you made for your daughter. And Akershus seems like it was great. I have never had breakfast there, only lunch. Can't wait to read more!
