I have been neglecting my thread.

busy busy busy

We had such a nice night after dtd. We cleaned up and Meija put on a pretty dress and we headed to the Poly for sushi. Took lots of pictures. While we were there, I got a text from Jen saying they were at the Fort and near MrsGus. Plus the Gator family was on their way. We drove over there and visited for a bit. It was so nice.

The next day we went to MK.

Guess who we ran into?????

JACK SPARROW!!!!!!!!
not Will Turner, but he'll do!
I took pictures.

Then we just HAD to go get one of those dreamy creamy refreshing Dole Whips. You know the stuff. We were so engrossed in our creamy pineapple goodness that we walked off and left our camera on the bench
All those pictures mentioned above....gone.
We checked lost and found 3 times. Nada.
I will keep trying. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Not to be discouraged, we continued on our fun and went on to Epcot for Meija's birthday dinner at Tutto Italia. It was a great place and the food was delicious. After leaving there I noticed my feet were swelling. Not too alarming; I'm allergic to soy and often feel a little swollen after eating in a restaurant. In line for Soarin'...Gosh, my feet...still, not too concerned. We went back to MK and I made Meija take the train 'cause I WAS NOT WALKING! Man it hurt! It...my left foot, as it turns out my right was just fine. When we got on the train I was alarmed! My whole leg was swollen and I had hives! My foot barely fit in my flip flop. Yikes! I wasn't leaving though. We had EMH until 2 am! By the time we were on the bus to go back to CBR I was in pain! Oh it was awful! At the hotel I noticed that the blood vessels in my leg had burst and I debated on whether or not I should go find a doctor. I ended up taking a Benadryl and going to bed. By morning it was no better and I had blisters.
As it turns out, I was bit by a spider. Most likely it was in the booth I was sitting in at Tutto. I really hope they bring in Pest Control!
I'm better now, but still scarred where I was bit.

Despite a few misfortunes, it was still a great day. I have a few pics on my phone that I'll get up here.

The last thing we did in AK was Kali rapids. I have never been on this ride, mind you...I'm like a cat and not found of getting wet unless it's a temperature controlled shower or something of that nature. I went on...thinking how bad could it be? Ha. I'll tell you how bad. I was in the proverbial "hot" seat. Despite the fact that I was armed with rain gear, my jacket was no match for the tidal wave that had my name on it. I just checked that experience off my list and there are NO pictures to prove it!

This brought back memories for me - did you happen to read my novel, errr, I mean, trip report (specifically the chapter about this very ride?) You would have been forwarned. Please tell me you did not have a white t-shirt on as I did, LOL.

Sorry to hear about the spider bite. Those things are NASTY with a capital N-A-S-T-Y. I'm allergic to spider bites, so I know exactly how you felt - I've been to the hospital on more than one occasion because of them. I'm glad it didn't completely ruin your time!

Spider bites are nasty - I had a friend who was bitten by a brown recluse at Ft Drum and almost lost his leg (we looked at lost and found too but no luck).

It looked terrible - like he had some flesh eating virus.

I agree too. Keep it coming. I am so jealous that you got a mother daughter trip. I would love to do that. A mother only trip would be cool too. LOL

So, did you ever find your camera. Have you called since you've been home to see if anyone turned it in? I have always said that if anyone stole my camera, I would hope that they would at least leave me the memory card. That is the most valuable part to me anyway.

My dad always took a pic of his name and address on a sheet of paper so that if the roll of film got lost it would have a way to find him. The same could be done with a memory card.

Cool story... A soldier in Iraq dropped his camera from a helicopter flying over the dessert. A couple months later he bumps into another soldier at his FOB (base over there) and the soldier asked him if he lost a camera. He said yes and the soldier told him that he had found it while on patrol and looked at the pics and then recognized him. He got his camera back.

Hope yours somehow finds it way to you.
