Well, here goes nothin..
Im taking my family to Universal/IOA.
Its not quite against their will, but let it suffice to say that Im the most excited person about this trip. Well, that may not be totally true since my daughter is 9 (DD) and has that whole borderline hysterical drama thing going on. To the horror of my 12-year old son (DS). Who would like to sell his sister to the gypsies on most days
And then theres my husband, who I guess Ill call DH. Hes a 45-year old employee with a strong work ethic. Which is a polite way to say workaholic. So, he needs a vacation. So, I say. And, apparently, in this anyway, Im in charge. Or so I like to think.
Im going to do my best at this trippie thing. But, Ill say upfront that Im a crazy busy chick right now. As we all are, I know.
So, the trip is from November 2nd to November 9th. Im booked into the RPR at Club level. And I made this ressie in August 2008. Which just goes to show you what a freak I am. I gotta say that I actually had the reservation lady laugh at me for booking 15 mos in advance. But, in reviewing the boards, I see that my freakiness is not an uncommon thing .
So, in August 2008, I drag my work colleague into my little world of Universal obsession. I convinced her to take her 2009 vacation at US/IOA as well. She took her family in July and stayed Club at the HRH. She loved it. As well she might as we discussed little else for months
We had a great time, purchasing and sharing every single book we could find on Universal. Some good, some not so much. Im a big time lurker and occasional poster on the Disboards, so I gathered a ton of very cool info for her (and eventually for me). In fact, thanks to the boards, she and her family got the very cool Queen Deluxe upgrade at the HRH.. Gotta say that Im bummed that the same upgrade isnt available at the RPR.
OK, so I made my hotel ressie. Paid my one nights deposit on the credit card at RACK RATES, argh Started my obsessive checking for discounted rates I think they know my voice at RPR .
And, then on to the park tix. At the time I was booking, it was just about the time that the 7-day unlimited pass price was increasing from $82. The boards were buzzing with people who had spotted a AAA location with some tickets left at $82. People were driving across state lines for these suckers!
So, I call our local AAA and they have the $82 tix! I dragged my colleague out of the door for an early lunch and we snatched up most of what the AAA had left. Score!!
Having fulfilled my Universal obsession for the moment, we returned to work .
More later guys yawning
Let me know if someone is reading this thing .
