One month

[50sjayne]

One month one month! I'm mapping out all the cheap gas stations and making a few new cd's to listen to. (I've got my mp3 player with the 80's stuff mostly just I would enjoy) I've also started to take inventory for our stuff were taking. I've lost 17 pounds (since before christmas) and decided-- why not 3 more? Just to say I lost 20 lol. Getting all my coupons and addresses ready for the gps of other places we will visit. I think this week I'll start packing clothes since it's all summer clothes anyway. Wanted to mention also I found Disney ice packs-- the small ones you can put in a small insulated lunchbox(I got an Incredibles, Monsters Inc, and toy story) in the $ spot at Target 1/2 off

OH, do tell on the cheap gas on the trip down you've found...... since I think we'd be doing the same trek!! 14 days for us!!

One more thing........ CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are doing the same trek in exactly one month, but a bit more north than you. I hope you have a great time. We are all sooooo excited!

Good going on getting rid of 20 pounds, Jayne! I believe that my needle is stuck on my scale.......... he he and sigh!
I hope that you and your family have one awesome drive to Dl. and an especially awesome visit at Dl.
Make sure to visit the pirates for me, and the Haunted Mansion, as well. I can never get enough of either one! And do not forget please to mail me a chocolate caramel apple.

OOOH Now the real fun count down begins. Congrats on the weight loss. Thats really amazing. Just dance around the house to some of those Disney tunes your cracking out there, and who knows, you might just lose another lb or 2

 

[Gisele]

How much fun is that? And exciting too! For your trip is just around the river bend.
Again, you and your family have a wonderful time!

Hey DisneyLuvr thanks for the bump. Well you go to Googlemaps, register. It's easy fast, then go into my trips, pregerences and you'll see a bunch of otions gas buddy is in there, check it and then go down and put California in the box then find I5. Here's mine I did from some weeks ago- since then gas has gone down but I have found the cheaper stations are consistently the lowest. I put the addresses for the gps- we did it this way for our trip a few years back which included, San Fran, Santa Cruz and Hearst Castle. First ones I didn't bother with prices.
