Before I wrap this up, I wanted to thank you all again for your support during the last two months with my DMIL...it really did mean the world to us.
In case you had not heard, she lost her battle with this extremely rare form of cancer just over a week ago. She loved Disney and it's mainly for her I wanted to finish this up and start on my next vacation...she probably would have wanted it that way.
Our final day dawns and I take in this few for the last time this trip:
I start by trying to figure out if I want one of these before we get on the plane
I decide no
maybe the plane happy pills will work better if I have nothing in my stomach. HA We start gathering all the bags, making sure all the last minute stuff is packed and I get very very sad
DH assures me that we will be back in less than a year for my 40th birthday trip. Doesnt help though
We call down to the valet to let them know we are coming, as I know in the mornings there have been semi-long waits for our car. Although I must say, we loved the valet perk with our DVC
couldnt beat it after a long day at the parks.
So we head out, eventually get our car and pass under the gates for the last time
.Im really sad and Im also starting to get really scared. Weve past the gate, which means the next stop is the airport!
Normally we take the first flight out, but DH wanted to sleep in
so glad one of us could sleep! So instead we are taking a mid-morning flight. We get to the airport about 90 minutes early, and theres almost no wait at this point through security. We head towards our gate and I call my dad
and I proceed to have the first very quiet meltdown of the morning. Yes friends, the happy plane pills are not working and Im freaking out. And for some reason, even the flight number was bugging me
I told my dad it was a great number for a headline!
DH is laughing at me and it was not helping!!! Its FINALLY time to board and Im not doing much better. But one cool thing was we ended up in the exact same seats we had on the flight down. DH notices I am much more panicky now than I was on the way down
.DUH! On the way down I had to be up at 3:30am and was too tired to thing. Now we got to (ok he did) sleep until 7am
now I dont have the tired factor going for me.
Flight was fine and I did not scare any flight attendants this time, although, now that I think about it, maybe if I scare enough of them DH will only drive from now on to avoid the embarrassment.
I was going to put a fun summary at the end of things we loved, hated, missed, and cant wait to do again, but with everything that transpired over the past two months and especially last week, all I have is that I am so thankful we bought DVC when we did. We were able to enjoy it with my DILs, the people who took me on my first trip and really helped expand my love for Disney. We were able to pay them back just a bit by sharing our DVC, and this trip alone was probably worth buying.
Thanks for staying with me
Ive FINALLY got the pre-trippie started for our September 2009 trip and if youd like to follow along, its here!
