On to planning stuff...... I have a baggalinni messenger bag that was purchased last year. It is red. I really like it but I got red because I already had a messenger bag (of a different brand) in black. Well, I started thinking about which camera(s) to bring on this trip. I really want to bring my bigger point and shoot Sony camera. It takes such good pictures but is more bulky. It's not the size of a full DSLR, but it still takes a bigger bag than what I usually carry to the parks. Every time I bring this camera I have a bag dilema. I still haven't found a bag that I'm comfortable with. HOWEVER, I put the camera in my red baggalinni and practiced pulling it out and putting it in around the house. I'm thinking this may actually work!! The only problem with this bag is there is no cushioning. I can modify that, though. So I think it's official! The bag I will use this trip is the baggalinni messenger bag. I got to thinking about the fact that I may not want to carry a bright red bag around every single day. So I decided to get a black one. So online I go..... I tried ebags.com and they wanted 40-something bucks!With shipping it would have been around $50.
NOPE!! Not doing it. I KNOW I didn't spend that much on the exact same bag last year. So I started poking around and found that bagbuy.com had the bag listed for $44.95 along with 17% off which puts it at $37.45! I then noticed a special "one day code" at the top of the page for an extra 20% off, PLUS free shipping!!
I put the bag in my cart and started to check out. It asked me if I'd like to register for their site while I checked out so I chose that option. I'm glad I did because when it showed me the total, it had taken off an ADDITIONAL $3 for being a "member". So i got the $44.95 bag for $26.96!!
SCORE!!!!!
Here is a link to the bag and where I got it....

Ok so sticking with the past pictures theme, let's continue on!! Our NEXT trip was in May 2008. This was my "make up trip" that DH said to book since I was sick during the previous trip. I also dropped and broke my camera during the last trip so this trip is full of pictures from the new camera.....the bulky one that I plan to bring this time! It takes such beautiful pictures! Since this trip was our 2nd in one year, we downgraded our hotel costs and stayed at Port Orleans Riverside. We originally wanted to stay at Caribbean beach but it was booked solid. So was Coronado Springs. We always said we'd NEVER stay at the Port Orleans resorts because we are from Louisiana. What is the point of going all the way to Florida to stay back in Louisiana??But since this is what they had, this is where we stayed. WE LOVED IT!!!!!! I'm actually glad it all happened that way because we got to enjoy a really beautiful resort.
This was also the trip when Jordan sent me a flat version of himself. So we had the "many adventures of flat jordan" on this trip. This was also during the Flower & Garden festival.
I will probably do this particular trip in a few installments since this trip was so picture heavy. Ok enough babbling! Here are pictures from May 2008.

I was freaking out on the mother agency!
