Even if you only end up with one photo Sherry, you better post it. Heck, I expect one photo out of you, okay?
I love your thought on getting the stock photo CD while you are there. It's a pretty good idea. Do we know how long they are doing that for? If so, depending on how all works out for me and I miraculously get 2 December trips in I might as well do that and then I can add both trips onto the same disc when I order it.
I'll keep my word. Someday, Sherry, someday I shall find a way to kidnap you and take you to DLR. It will be even more doable if we both have AP's. But I promise advance warning anyway.
As for me, I'm trying to keep hope that I can make something work out. It really all depends. There are so many possibilities. And because of me being me, I have to go over them all in my head. The possibility that my car comes home with no major damage. The possibility that it's not found period. The possibility that it's found but stripped (which is what I'm figuring to be the most likely possibility). It's gonna take our insurance company 1 month without the car to settle on a total loss so if it's not found the earliest that will all happen is ... December 9? Around then. And that's not enough time to get the money, get a new car, and still be able to make the pre-Christmas trip while you're there. Not to mention if I do have to get a new car, I don't know what I'll be able to find for the money I'm getting. I hate to sound material, but I refuse to get a clunker. The reason I spent a lot of money on my first car to begin with was because I knew it was reliable choice and other than the possibility of theft I have not had a single problem in the 5+ years I have had it. If I get something where I still have to make car payments, I may not be able to get down period, because I am not making enough money right now to afford monthly car payments on top of everything else I have going on. The AP will probably be out period.
Of course it's all speculation. I don't know what's going on and I hope against all hope that everything will be OK with my car or that I can make something work.
Even though I wont have much time to check in this weekend, I hope your couple hour stint is fun and hopefully I'll have good news to update myself (well, at least I'll have fun stories to tell).
If you don't come out when I'm there in December (again, knock wood, hope that my trip goes as planned!), then hopefully, through the course of us both having AP's, we will end up there at the same time next year.
Way to go Sherry!!
