Mickey's So Long Summer Cruise 2.0

Quick note, my Mom had a TIA (mini stoke) Monday morning. Really scary! She had to be flown by helicopter to Albany Med. She's doing well. Never a dull moment! Oh Baby do I need this vacation!!!!

So sorry to hear that, but glad she is doing well.:grouphug:
 
Nice to hear from you,Betty! The hard rock is a favorite spot for our family- we stayed there last year and had the best time! It really is the best hotel, as it is closest to the parks- you will have so much fun!!! As hard as it is for me to hear-- the kids say they liked universal more than disney.... they do have fun rides-- but the atmosphere does not compare IMO

This will be our very first trip to Universal, and its all because of Harry Potter. My daughters call Universal "the axis of evil" :rotfl:, because it isn't Disney - they may end of changing their mind!:rotfl2:

Once they see that pool at the HRH, and explore Harry Potter...I think they will change their mind....and it is so awesome to get the front of the line passes-- you literally walk on most of the rides as many times as you want...disney loses some points there-- and in that August heat- you can't beat it

Have fun- and read up on the Universal thread if you haven't done so- I got great tips on how best to attack the parks there:thumbsup2
 
spent the afternoon watching Ryan Gossling rob our local bank for his new movie! :thumbsup2

He waved to me, but he hasn't invited me out for drinks yet....

I know how you feel, I went to High School with Will Smith and I'm still waiting to be invited to the west coast to chill with him:rotfl:
 
I got laid off from my job today:scared1: but... I was asked to apply for another position that makes more money at the school district:banana::banana::banana:
 
I have a interview for the new job on next Friday:banana::banana:

After the interview in the morning, I get on a plane to begin my vacation:thumbsup2


After going through a layoff, and being offered a different job at the last minute....things happen for a reason- so hopefully this will all work out for you....
just not the best way to be spending this week....

Sending pixie dust your way
 
Hey All!

I'm alive, barely! Thanks for all your well wishes for Mom. She is doing really, really well. Me, not so much! I haven't packed a thing since July 27th! And my family isn't helping, shocking I know. It's All Hands on Deck for us this week or someone is walking the plank!

Joe, sorry to hear about the lay off. Been there, done that. Sucks! I here by suspend you with pay! Collect unemployment and sail the caribbean!!

More as the weeks creeps up on me...
 
Packing has started-- and I am so overwhelmed!! I am sick of fighting with DD about what to wear.... why do kids shorts need to be so short??!!

...I guess I am jealous that "Daisy Dukes" are back in style and that I can't fit into them:lmao:

Fortunately my last day is scheduled for August 26th:thumbsup2 I should know on Friday afternoon or before next Monday whether I got the new position:)

No worries everyone, the School District is actually my second job. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the extra pay because it helps pay for college and DCL:goodvibes
 
Finally 90% packed! Now DH's father is in the hospital but nothing we can't handle. I know what I can handle, a few dozen drinks!

We fly out Friday morning at 6 am.

48 hours! Can everyone please stay healthy!!!!!

Oh yeah, there's a tropical wave out there, perfect...

We have the 6AM Saturday flight....it is nice to be nonstop and get down there early...but waking up so early to get to the airport is not fun....
 
I look at an early flight this way...the quicker I get a beverage in my hand. I'm the Mommy ordering booze from the SWA cart at 6:30 in the morning!
 
DW went to D.C. this morning for a conference. She returns tomorrow night:thumbsup2 No bags are packed:scared1: I will pull the luggage out as soon as I get home so that I can start getting ready:woohoo:

After forcing the kids to get packed, each one of them has chores to do:) I hate coming home from vacation where they clean the rooms daily, only to come home to a cluttered home:mad:

Afternoon flight gets into MCO at 4:00 p.m. on Friday:cool1::cool1:

I thought my DH was the only one to order drinks on the 6AM flight!! I have not seen anyone else do it...DH will be proud of you;)
