Hi!!
Thanks for the get better wishes I was Sick again this past week got some new antibotics from the Dr, doing MUCH better today

Our Disney trip may be changing
As i told you before SIL#2 was having a hard time getting off on Fri Sept 11th, and so we where going to cut in done by one day, no biggy.
but two weeks ago he gets laid off. He applied with and employment agency and start a new job on Monday but not sure if he will be able to get time off with not working for a year. daughter #2 is not sure she wants to with out him. This the couple that got engaged at WDW in 2006.
Daughter #1 (Grandson mommie) REALLY need a vaction!! She has been going thur some personal problems and needs some magic.

If D#2 and SIL#2 are not able to go, we just share our room with D#1 and grandson. we would be able to add D#2 in the room too if she decides to go (4 adults and 1child under 3)

We did make our punch our mickey heads on Monday. Landen loved it. Will work on calendar on Monday only 227 days from today


Been looking at airfares can't find Sept yet. Did find Aug on airtran for $86 one way (sunday is $146) times are not great. Will look at southwest. any ideas?

Oh I hope everything works out for your trip and everyone's able to go. Keep your eyes and ears open - I hear there are to be some amazing deals all year long in the lines of vacation and travel so you may just find something great.

One site for flights is orbitz. They keep advertising that if you book a flight and someone else books it cheaper, they refund you the difference. That's kind of nice. I don't know the specifics but might be worth looking into if the prices compare. Also try and sign up for different email announcement things. I get them from Airtran and another site sidestep.com I think) and there have really been some great deals in them lately. We've found if you have different options as far as airports, that can usually help. It might also be worth it for you to just leave a night sooner than you'd planned and drive, stopping half way or whatever to stay overnight. I know it's not as easy, but you'd (probably) all be able to ride together, plus you'd have a vehicle while you're there which is always nice.

Thanks for checking out my TR last night...I'm finally getting started!

Sorry to hear about the loss of employment. That seems to be common these days. I pray that SIL will be able to find a job soon. How did the countdown calendar turn out?

Yes It is Great news!! I so happy that he was able to get a new job,

I did read that you where driving I would like to drive, I enjoy seeing the new places but we have a truck and the kids have small cars, we would propuarly have to take two cars, which I'm not sure if that would be any cheaper for us, and I don't know how to drive so it would leave all the driving up to hubby.
No I still have not figure out how to post pictures, I just so computer illerate I thought the calendar came out Cute!! Thanks for the complement
I hope you have a good week too!!

That is SOOOO great!!!!

 

[newtodis]

Hey Grace! Glad to hear the calendar came out well.

YAY for the 40% off code!! That's wonderful!! I keep hoping for one of those crazy pins but we're still not lucky enough to get one. I wonder if maybe we book something through them we'd have a better chance to get a pin?? Who knows anymore.

If you're thinking about driving and want just a bigger vehicle, you could look into renting a car. I've read many positive things about priceline naming your own price and getting a decent car for around $10-$15/day. It might be worth it if you were all able to ride together and save the wear and tear from your own vehicles....just a thought if you're looking for a way to make it work.

Have a wonderful night!

 

[newtodis]

Hey Grace! Good morning!

Just stopping in to check on you! Hope you have a great Monday!

 

[Grace and Mickey]

Hi everyone

Yesterday I rolled to change we have been collecting since our Disney nite in Oct when we each made a vacation bank.
We have saved $285.00
and we have not counted the pennies yet!!!

Corri has suuguested that maybe we look into driving again, we would have to rent a car if we drive, nome of our cars are big enough.
It 's looking like Kylie and Josh won't be able to go he probraly wont be able to get the time off, I have not canceled their reservation yet.

I started my countdown calendar today!

194 days

Have a wonderful week everyone!

 

[lmillercrew]

Congrats on all the change saved!!! My problem is, we have dipped into the change. I have 4 dollars in pennies saved, so you are on a better "roll" than me!
Sorry to hear about Kylie and Josh.
