loving the TR so far! Can't wait to hear more!
Getting up early for a flight is miserable, but try flying in from the west coast... you lose a whole day in the air, which i am not willing to do, so I always take the red-eye, which means the whole first day is pure adrenaline and caffiene!

We land around 11 am and don't plan to stop until after illuminations that night. Last time my husband fell asleep in the hall of presidents the first day. This time we are planning more exciting stuff to keep us awake the first day: parasailing, jet skiis, la nouba, illuminations, i'm just going to have to keep him awake through dinner at yachtsman's steakhouse (no cocktails for him this night, he'll go right to sleep!) we'll see how that works out.
