We are almost there, layover in Houston!!!!! Woohoo!!!! Going off of 2 hours of sleep after getting up at 1:30 but I guess that will help get me ready for getting up on race morning . Happy and safe travels to everyone traveling and getting ready to travel!!

due to a recent back injury i'm being forced to run/walk this year. Can any of you recommend an iPhone app that will do the run/walk intervals in conjunction with listening to music on my phone?

Q has officially arrived here. Got out of my Mythology test to see it having gone from cloudy to coming down heavily. Got the go ahead to take a taxi to the airport since the snow is supposed to be still going tomorrow morning when I leave. So I have my taxi booked. Just got to make the order for Kona tonight and finish getting packed. Hard to believe in 12 hours I will be getting in a taxi to go to the airport for my trip to Disney World.

OK! I have one phrase to share with everybody: I am a nervous wreck. I was in work today listening to my clients' problems and i just kept thinking : can ya hurry up, already? I can't wait for this weekend!

 

[Jlinrota]

Hello Princesses! I am very nervous but can't wait. However, I just hope I make it. Was contacted by Delta today and my flight was cancelled due to weather and the main part to my costume did not arrive! I guess this trip would not be totally the BEST trip without any adversity. That is what I am telling myself anyways! I'm in Kansas. Anyone else in the Midwest experiencing travel difficulties?

 

[Mamasmurf227]

Should be sleeping right now but I can't! We leave in 4 hours! (Driving from NH).

Joan--hope you are feeling better!!!!

Were you able to get on another flight?
Southwest moved my flight so I am still ok to arrive in Orlando tomorrow.

As they say in the flying world "may all your take off's and landings be equal " May all my fellow princess travelers fly and drive on angels wings . Special pixie dust and prayers to those in the path of the storms...stay safe...we will have drinks waiting for you at Disney !

Did 4 miles today in 100% humidity and it wasn't pretty....Orlando and 72% should be a breeze !

I second that! I feel guilty that I have only 1.5-2 hour drive there. Safe travels to all!

Drive Safe!! How long is it taking you to drive from New Hampshire? It's got to be close to 24 hours, right?

Thanks! Sure, you can use the saying . I found the tutu on etsy, The name of the seller is threeprincessbows. The ones she has posted for sale were for children, and I sort of had to talk her into making an adult sized one, but I'm glad she did, it really is cute. It's pretty much a normal tutu, with strips of tulle, but there is satin ribbon sewn to the end of each strip of tulle. I like it because the ribbon weighs down the tulle some and helps it not to be so poofy. It took her quite a bit of time to make it, so if you ever happen to inquire about one, just know to start the process early!

Thats exactly what I don't like about regular tutus!!

Star Trek? My first thought was Q from James Bond.

I think it just depends on the person. Apparently they meant neither since they supposedly named it after a train line in New York. Still like to think they named it after a Star Trek or James Bond character than a subway line even if they say otherwise.

Heads up to those who are going to be in Q's main path. Be careful this thing packs quiet a wallop. Were not even in the bad area and the snow was ridiculous.

It took about one hour approximately (when I got out of my test it didn't seem to have been snowing that long judging by the random patch of not snowed on ground) for my car to get this much snow on it:

Awesome!! We are actually flying Southwest out of Hobby, bummer!! But may be on the same ME bus, where are you staying? We are at Port Orleans Riverside (booked one of their princess themed rooms, it seemed appropriate for this race weekend!)

We're in a Princess Room too! I agree - just felt fitting for the event. Plus, I'm not sure my boyfriend would ever agree on a normal trip

Runkeeper and/or iSmoothRun!

Runkeeper fan here! It's been wonderful while training. You can create intervals however you'd like using the workout functions and save them for future runs.
