My first Pre Trip Report - Completed - with pics

Thanks Paula

I think lack of sun is part of the problem. I will take a dose of the 10 day forecast for Orlando area tonight and no doubt I will be feeling great in the morning! I keep telling myself it's 2 days to go, but it just doesn't seem to register. I think by Friday lunch time when I go home and pull the suitcases out to get them loaded into the car it will all hit home! :cool1:

ETA: Really funny now, but earlier on my mum phoned in a flap. Have you seen the news? Well of course I haven't seen the news. 2 Sky boxes and one child still means no TV for Mum! Anyway my dad was panicking about strikes at the airports in Spain. Of course I knew nothing of it and had to google the news online to try and calm him down since I have indicated that we are going to Tenerife, in the name of keeping the secret safe.

Anyway, that all sorted and now rather amusing, I just found the photobook journal I made for us to record our memos in. It almost got left behind as I completely forgot about it. It's called The Tale of 2Tiggies. Just a few more days and I can write my first entry in there.

I am feeling much better today. Just a bit sniffly and stuffy but throat is fine, head doesn't hurt and you just know when you are through the worst of it. :banana: I can't wait for tomorrow. I know that once I am getting ready to leave work it is all going to feel real. Oddly enough, the last few weeks have flown by and I have had moments where I sort of 'needed' a bit more time. But then time is always interesting - you use it better when you have less of it! :idea:

Have a great trip
 
Well we are home from school and she has just been told that we are having a Fun Friday. Instead of DVDs in my bed we are going to sleep at a hotel tonight. Her reaction was "TONIGHT?" Followed by her jumping up and hugging me. She is now hopping around the house (supposed to be getting changed), proclaiming that I am the best mum in the world. I wonder if I am about to be promoted in a few hours. :yay::yay::yay:

Oh please let my mobile broadband work tonight. I really want to share it with you all.
 
Hi,

We are all so exited along with you......., wanted to wish you both a magical time and to thank you for all your wonderful help. looking forward to the reaction :banana::cool1:

Have fun,


we have only 17 more sleeps to go :cheer2:
 
A certain someone :rolleyes1 woke me up before 3 am, with "Is it time yet?" every 10 minutes. So now that I have had some coffee and almost overflowed the bath water:scared1: I am being constructive to upload a few pictures. It's really slow, but I managed to get some done.

Initially, she just really enjoyed the little video I took made her and laughed through the first part. When it got to the part telling her she is going to WDW

she thought it was all fiction - part of the show. She isn't looking directly at the camera because my mum took these ones while I was trying to convince her that it wasn't a joke.

I was completely unprepared for utter disbelief

It took a good 10 minutes until FINALLY, she realised she is actually going! She toppled me right over when she grabbed me :rotfl:

Can't wait to read how it went

Thank you everyone. We had a wonderful time. My TR is now up and running, so far up to the end of Day 2. Thank you all for the wonderful support, advice and encouragement which went a long way helping make this a very special trip. :grouphug:
 
However for me, some of the most special memories we come back are those from moments you can’t plan: Sitting laughing with Tove after 3 am at the end of evening EMH at MK in the Main Street bakery, giggling like schoolgirls (okay she’s allowed to ;)) because the cup my cappuccino came in has a hole in the bottom and I am being ‘accused’ of being too tired to hold a coffee cup. :rotfl2: Or standing next to a hedge in the midst of the most heavily crowded time of the day watching Tove trying to get a ladybird to walk onto her finger. :cloud9: Or how about watching Tove run around in circles more times than I can count so she can run across the barrel bridge on Tom Sawyer Island with her eyes shining, with not a care in the world. It’s those moments when everything around you pales into oblivion for a while; those moments when I think to myself: This is worth everything I have had to do and everything I have gone without to get here! The moments that I can’t plan, can’t be bought, traded or sold are often the ones that hold the most precious memories. I am looking forward to grabbing some more of them! :littleangel:

This brought up some really incredible memories for me. One of them from our trip last year, when my then 21-year old son and our friends' daughters (age ... 15 and 18 at the time, I believe) danced and jumped and played on the blinking lights in the sidewalk at Epcot. They've done this before on previous trips - always on our last night - but it surprised me that they would still do it at their age. What a joy!

Can't wait to hear what you and Tove' experience unexpectedly on this trip.
