Exactly this time next week I will be checking in!!!
I need to stop posting to myself on this thread and start packing but I don't want to

Oh I am procrastinating myself!! I saw that about the cold. Feel guilty that I immediately thought "glad it's not my weekend!" I'm SOO OVER the cold!! I was lucky enough to get a 6:40 dinner reservation to Ohana tonight..score!! We were stuck with a 8:35. Pretty sure my 2 year old would of been a monster then!

DH, DS and I did the single digit dance tonight in our kitchen after work.

Its getting so close now! I'm happy that I have a conference out of town in Hershey on Tuesday and Wednesday next week because I won't be able to concentrate while I'm at the office anyway.

AWESOME! Now that you've only got 10 days the rushing around and packing and planning will make it go by faster! So exciting!

First, I read back and am so sorry about your family dog. I hope you guys find some cheer through the tears on your vacation.

The days are going by SO FAST!!! We missed our single digit dance day. Vacation A.D.D. plus actual A.D.D. plus everything earlier this month means our days are so out of whack. I keep thinking it's the 4th and not the *looks at clock* 16th We're slowly chunking away at my mega-list of what all needs done. The start of the week will be our 'shop for what's not at home' days since no one works Monday and only mom does Tuesday. I'm thinking hair trim and possible pedicure on Tuesday (are those things painful?)

That is SO great!! And how fantastic that you hadn't cancelled your package!!! See you there!!!

Yay!!!!!! That's fabulous!!
Glad to see you back and sending healing thoughts for your dh.

Thanks you guys! And anyone who kept my dad in their thoughts. I'm looking forward to possibly running into any of you without ever knowing it. Hopefully the weather will be warm.

And I'll keep you updated because if you are in Ohio, you are in it's line of fire too. Obviously it's too early to know anything for sure. But I don't like even having a possibility

On the one hand -- SNOW!!! On the other hand -- this is not the vacation travel weekend you are looking to snow on...

On our very first day of our very first trip we went to AK, and straight to Everest. Dh got off, stumbled over to me where I was waiting and had to sit on the ground for a good 20 minutes. We then had to go to First Aid where he sat for another hour until he was ok enough to take the bus back to the resort and laid down all day
Ever since, we make sure to have dramamine!

Oh, yeah. Dramamine's going on the mega packing list! They make non-drowsy?

They make a non-drowsy version that lasts 24 hours.

Took the suitcases out of the closet today. Checked the toiletry bag; it's pretty well stocked and only needs a few things. That's good news. My mom is coming over tomorrow to get reacquainted with the grand-dogs. What else. Tomorrow I'm going to start cleaning the house and forcing DBF to install the lights in the backyard. The last one fell and broke. Weird. I think that's it for now.

I guess I really am getting ready for vacation. YAY!!

 

[pigletto]

I'll be getting the suitcases out after my morning coffee. I will pack my youngest and myself today. DD(15) and DH are on their own

I went and bought ponchos last night just in case we need them and some more cat food.
All that's left to do is pack and clean. Oh and go to the bank this week to change our money and to CAA to get that stupid International Driving Permit

I am really looking forward to nicer weather and the possibility of going swimming!

I've waited for about 45 minutes before, but it's not usually that bad.

Why oh Why did I just watch the Accuweather video about the massive storm shaping up?

My OCD brain is now making back up plans . They don't even know where it will be yet, but it's looking like a big impact somewhere late next week. Great.
So I've been texting my husband with Plan B which involves leaving a day earlier and driving instead. He's thrilled with me

Its definitely worth driving for! Did it one year and we were so happy to avoid the storm and more than a little smug about it .

I agree. We all pay too much and work too hard for these trips to just leave it up to chance. I'll sleep easier knowing I have a back up plan that I hopefully won't need.

We will also be @ MK on the 26th celebrating DD's 7th birthday.

Happy Birthday to all those celebrating
