Ok, Nikki, I have to tell you....I was needing something to pass some time until we leave, so I was scrolling through this thread looking for TRs to read and I clicked on your honeymoon/DCL TR.

I am because we would totally be BFFs I am so super planny, need to have things organized, don't like confined crowds, prefer not having to have forced conversation, and I was the kid with the Trip Tik map in the car too!! It must be the teacher in me too I'm also at your boredom on the cruise (so far, I'm on your Key West day right now) because we are the same way. We just got back from a week long beach trip with my family and (as much as I totally LOVE my family and enjoyed seeing them) we were kinda bored! We are not sitters. That's why we go to WDW every year. We can constantly be busy, doing things, seeing things, etc... Ok, back to reading

Hugs to Anjalee for your loss I lost my grandmother in May (also in NJ and I live in MD). She was 94 - lived a long wonderful life! All the best to you and your family.


All suitcases are packed! Last minute things need to be added tomorrow. I know my dates say I will be in Disney July 4 - 10, but we are actually leaving tomorrow! We will be in Orlando and on our way towards Ft. Lauderdale 24 hours from now!!!
We have been following the tournament news through various facebook pages and so far our two best Olympic fighters have lost! Hope the team turns things around tomorrow. Black belts did Olympic sparring today, tomorrow is colored belts. DS competes Friday in Forms and Saturday in Point Sparring. Fingers and toes crossed He has worked so hard and we are so proud of him just for qualifying.
Going to bed for my last sleep in MD!

Anyone else watching this 'hurricane' Andrew? (or is it Alex?) It's headed toward Texas, but it looks like WDW is getting some of the residual!?

 

[Kurby]

Alex. Andrew was years ago - they wont name another one with the same name.


and no - i haven't seen anything. maybe i should put on the news LOL

As soon as I typed 'Andrew' I was like 'no, that was a few years ago,' and then I got confused as to which was which We're about to get a storm, so we turned on the Weather Channel and saw it. I believe they said it just got moved to Hurricane status?

 

[martinolichfamily]

All suitcases are packed...finally!!

I have been watching Hurricane Alex..b/c I am in Texas (near Houston)...looks like we will be leaving in rain headed Disney bound Thursday morning first thing!!

The Weather channel has shown (around 11p i think) Alex going into Mexico (Texas was out of the cone range at that time!).

HAhahaha! Oh I'm so glad you are enjoying it! It's definitely a teacher thing! Not sure if being a teacher makes me the way I or if I became a teacher because I already had it in me! No...not a sitter at all!

24 hours and I'll be boarding the plane!!!!!!!

Being that my DD18's name is Alex, I knew it would turn to Hurricane Status!!!! I'm just surprised that it's only a category 1

Checked this thread at about 8p.m. on Monday night, worked yesterday and get on this morning and what do I find but 6 pages of posts to read!!!

Pre trip traditions-get some new pins, clean the house, pack.

This time in two weeks, I be at work trying the keep my eyes open(because of working until 11:30 p.m. and back at 6:30 a.m. trying to care for my laboring patient while trying not to be going over the planning in my head for the trip I leave on the next morning.

 

[pmdeve]

Well 20 days until our WDW trip to WL. My mom called this morning to say that my grandmother died this morning. She was taken to the hospital last night. So now my mom is helping to plan a funeral before our trip. I guess things happen for a reason and she was in her late 80s and lived a long productive life, but it's still not news I wanted to hear this morning.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. Our thought and prayers are with you and your family.

YAY!!!! Have a wonderful, magical, and safe trip!!!!!!

Me too!!!! I can't wait!!!! I think I'm more excited that my kids are.

Sometimes I think I get more excited than the kids too! I have a feeling that when they get older they will think I get way too overly excited about our Disney trips! They will probably make fun of me when they are teenagers!

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being that my DD18's name is Alex, I knew it would turn to Hurricane Status!!!! I'm just surprised that it's only a category 1

I always think that about students I have! My mom, aunt, sister and I are all teachers and we joke about stuff like that. "Of course the category 5 hurricane is named Justin....."

Me too!!!! I can't wait!!!! I think I'm more excited that my kids are.

YIPPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all those leaving soon:

OMG!! I LOVE the "Go Pack" cow!!!!!! I think I'm in denial that we leave in a little over 2 weeks. I was so 'planny' and then we went on a week long beach trip with my family and now I'm out of Disney planning mode. That's why I was reading Nikki's TR from last summer. I needed to be re-inspired,
