Ok I got my camera working again.... here is the van... not bad looking for a 97'

Mom sitting in van waving

I was trying really hard to find a shirt or 2 with Disney on it to wear... but was having no luck.... so bought a whole new wardrobe of ordinary shirts... however, today we went shopping in a store we rarely ever get to and found bunches of plus size Disney Tees.... I now have 4 Disney shirts.... and a full wardrobe of other shirts!

I love the van! and the shirts!They are so adorable!! I just came in from work took a quick shower, put on my pj's and of course came rushing to where else but the disboards. I am so hungry.. I have been cutting back, not like I really want to. But, since I cook at work I dont get a chance to eat dinner, there are no breaks.

So, hubby knows, I am trying to eat a lil healthy before the trip. So, what does he do. Today, around 11 p.m. he calls me at home, and says. Honey dont cook. I want to cook when i get home. Ok great, a day off from cooking for the family. .So, I come in tonight, and he made all my favorites. My husband can cook really well. He made fried chicken, he makes it the best!! Beans and rice, cornbread, buttered corn, and a chocolate cake!!!!! The smells are all through the house. I feel like eating it allllllll Michelle. I feel so weak right now. Anyway, I had to type this out. Ok, I think I am better now. As I think of the airplane, belts. Ok, well talk to you soon buddy.

ok so time is whittling down... 3 weeks from today, I must have everything packed and ready to go! So I need to get started on a packing list!

I got my suitcase packed last night (well repacked, since I just got new tops)

I have an outfit for each day, a couple of changes and then I have some extra mismatched shirts and shorts just in case and A pair of PJs.
(Mom has plenty of new clothes, just has to get them packed)

We are taking a seperate overnight case for the trip, this is for our stops at motels on the way to and back from Florida. This will include 2 changes of clothes for both of us and PJs.
Also a seperate bag for our swimsuits and towels, that way can take them into the travel motels and into POP.... whether we use them or not is a different story!

Now for the extra stuff that I need to list.....
Our "Magic Paperwork"
Stuff for window decorations at POP
LGMHs to pass out with my name on them....
and ones to fasten to our scooters as well
Stuffed Mickey and Minnie to sit on our beds!

Gum
Ziplock baggies to keep impotant things dry on wet rides

Towels to cover seats on scooters

Still need to get items....
Replinish medicine supply
