MVMCP-Dec 2010- Cape Cod & Fall photos-Update 11/16

[aprilisis]

I can't believe it is only one week away!!! Time has flown by this month. This past weekend was crazy with a bunch of birthday parties to go to. Yesterday I got to see my cousin's (the one who passed away last month) little boy.

He is just so dang cute that I can't stand it!! So is my Aunt's puppy, Willow:

Gracie is recovering well:

Isis is irritated that Gracie is getting all of the attention:

I have been fiddling around with my zoom:

I have another photo of the new cat (who remains nameless) and Smithers & Mr. Burns:

I don't know why the water looks green/yellow...it looks clear in person!
So at one week out, I am freaking out because I am SO busy this week. I have to really learn what I am doing with this new camera before I go!
But... 7 days!!!!!

Gracie's surgery went well & she may even be able to come home tonight. I am hoping that she can. I think she may have to wear a cone so she doesn't pull out her stitches. I feel so bad!
Well, I am 11 days away from my trip & they are forecasting a hurricane or tropical disturbance hitting there soon. The storm tracks and forecasts are all different. I'm not a "wait and see" type of person. I want to know NOW.
I'm not sure what will happen if a hurricane hits. I still want to go! I would only lose one day. Plus it would make for some good stories.

I'm excited!!! I just did my online check-in. Let's just hope for NO hurricane. By the way- I got a new camera!!! It is nothing fancy- just a point & shoot Canon, but it has 14x optical zoom. I'm going to have fun with that & you can bet my TR will have a TON of photos!!! Have a great weekend, everyone.

I am sorry I was behind. Glad to hear that Gracie's surgery went well and that she's recovering.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate and be pretty while you are in Disney.

The pictures of the kids and pets were great. You took those with your new camera right? If so, then you're sure to get some fantastic pictures at Disney.

I'm so glad you posted! Thanks! The new weather report is looking good. There are still a few disturbances out in the Atlantic, but hopefully they don't develop into anything crazy.

5 days to go!!!!!!

I have 3.5 days left before I leave for WDW!!! I'm so excited. I work until 7:30pm tonight, then I decided to take tomorrow off. We are getting a ton of rain & if it is raining, it takes me forever to get to work & back. So 3+ hours of driving for a 4 hour work day. Nope...doesn't make sense. I DO have a pedicure & brows appointment tomorrow, then hair on Saturday. Monday we leave for the airport at 4:15AM & it takes an hour to get there. Our flight is scheduled to leave at 7am and we arrive at 9:55. We will most likely make a stop at Winn Dixie on the way to check-in. After we check in, I am not sure what we will do until our early dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse. (I cancelled my facial at the spa- I just can't spend the money on that when I might need a transmission) After dinner, if we are up for it, MK has EMH.
Tuesday is our Universal/IOA day. We have dinner scheduled at the Wave for 8pm.
Wednesday we have a late breakfast at Boma & will head to AK for a little while. Later on, we have dinner at Coral Reef & Epcot EMH.
Thursday we plan to go to DHS, early dinner at CG, then MNSSHP.
Friday is free until PM EMH at AK & dinner at Jiko.
Saturday morning, I have Dolphins in Depth, my brother arrives, and we will spend the day at Epcot.
Sunday is a late breakfast at 1900 Park Fare, free time, dinner at Artist Point, and EMH at MK.
Monday we leave early for the airport.
I might not make it back online before Monday, but I will definitely try! If I don't, I will post a link as soon as I start a TR. Have a great weekend, everyone!!!

I certainly don't blame you for taking off work tomorrow. That's a long way to drive for just 4 hours of work. But, who am I kidding....any excuse to take off work is fine by me.

I understand why you decided to cancel your facial. If I knew there was a possibility that I would have to spend oodles of money on my car, I'd save that money too.

I am so looking forward to hearing about your trip. You've got several things scheduled that I want to know all about.

If you don't get a chance to post before you leave, we'll understand. You have a great trip. Take lots of pictures. Make notes. And have an awesome time!

You are so much smarter than me. I'm dying here at work today, thinking of nothing but what I need to finish up at home before I leave tomorrow. (Fingers crossed).

All your plans look great. It will be Monday before you know it!

Thanks!! You know me with the photos- I will take WAY too many!!!!

I think you are the smart one- I'm going to be bouncing off the walls at home for the next 3 days!!! You are in Disney TOMORROW!!!

Well, I have reached the point where I have to unpack, then repack. That is all that's on the agenda today. After that, we'll order some pizza for dinner, watch Dexter, go to bed & John will drop me off at my stepmom's at 4:15am.
I just wanted to say thanks for those of you who have stuck with me through this LONG PTR. See you all in a week!!!

You may not see this before you leave but I hope you have a great time.

Right now you are in the air, on your way. Have a safe and fun trip. Drink an orange slushie for me .

 

[If U Had Wings]

Hope you had a wonderful trip. I realized after arriving in Disney I forgot my address/phone book.

Thanks! That's ok- I didn't stick to my plans too well this time around. Welcome back to you!!!

 

[aprilisis]

I'm home! All in all it was an awesome trip. I will start a TR ASAP. I missed you guys! I totally forgot it was my birthday today until John said "Happy Birthday" this morning! THAT is the kind of day I'm having already!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Welcome home and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

 

[If U Had Wings]

Happy Birthday!!!!!

[aprilisis]

Welcome home and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thanks!!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

and Welcome Home!

Thanks!!


I'm working on uploading all of my photos to Photobucket, but it is taking FOREVER. I will get through the TR pretty quickly, too, since I only have 54 days before the December trip. After December, though, I have NO idea when I'll be there again. I may go for a short May or June trip. But guess what I found out??? No more bounceback offers starting next year. They took the advertisements for them out of the rooms. When I called & asked for that discount, they told me they were only offering it through December & they even asked if the advertisement was in my hotel room. I will miss the bounceback- it was SUCH a gret deal!!!

 

[hlrababy]

aww, hope you had a great birthday!!!

WHAT!!! No more bouncebacks...awww

 

[aprilisis]

aww, hope you had a great birthday!!!

WHAT!!! No more bouncebacks...awww

Thanks! It was a great day yesterday. I know- I'm upset about the bouncebacks...but I guess too many people caught on to the 40% discounts!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

A short May or June trip? It would be awesome if you could go the same time as we are. We will arrive on May 26th and leave on June 4th. Remember that free dining is being offered during that time frame! Am I trying too hard for a Dis Meet?
