Today I took the family to our new attraction in Canada Place by the cruise ship terminal, Flying over Canada. It's Sorin, but Canada instead of Disney version.
We all loved it. It is Ashley's birthday tomorrow, 28
but DH is in a golf tournament tomorrow, so we are celebrating today. Got a DQ log in the freezer.
I got a little teary, it was almost like being at WDW!! I will soon be there, seems like the waiting for wdw trips takes forever, and then it goes by all to fast. So not fair! If only we had a
that lowed down time while we are there!!
Hi Sue!
That ride sounds fun! Might have to check it out next time I'm "home"
Funny thing is, our first ever ride at WDW on our first trip/ when we shared DH's leave from Afghanistan, we went on Soarin as a family -- we where all wowed and thought it was amazing!!! Then I made a mistake of looking over the edge when I was in the end aisle seat/ top row.....saw how high I was and for some reason developed an extreme fear on the ride with death grip and racing heart, I just wanted off it. From that moment on, I can't ride soarin' unless it's on the bottom row -- and I also still get nervous on that row, but I force myself to go on it with my family and friends so I can share it with them. But it really does something to me by making me feel like I am going to fall out, especially when the seats tip forward around the fireworks/ castle scene!!! it's very unsettling to me, and I'm sad about that because it used to be my favourite ride for a short time!
I understand what you mean about wanting a trip to come, yet not wanting it to come -- and not knowing when you'll be back again is the hardest thing! That's why as far away as Jan 2015 is, I know those 17 months will fly by, and it'll be here before I know it. I want to savour the planning and just savour the trip because after I don't know when I'll be back again either
Disney trips are very expensive for us -- this next trip will be upwards of 10K!! I've spent over 40K on Disney since 2008! So I may have to move down to Dis Diva DL trips solo to get my Disney Fix after this one.....probably won't be back with family again on a big trip until grandkids come along!!
Andrew wants to join the airforce direct entry, instead of the college route. He wants to get in and get trained, I think that would be best for him anyway -- less chance of perhaps not putting in 100% and failing, if he's in and training, he's pretty much got to be focused daily..... He's starting to lament how hard it will be to leave his girlfriend and go to Ontario for training! His course has a 52 week training schedule, the longest in the military! I think it's starting to scare him off a little. I just hope he holds on and realizes the benefits at the end of it all!
and that he doesn't decide to do some front line ARmy trade like infantry or combat engineer (like his Dad was) -- while it was a good life for us, I'd really like Andrew to get a trade that could benefit him through his life!
Wishing those military discounts where extended to CDN military too! DH served 22 1/2 yrs, it would be nice if we could have qualified for the discount! oh well, we'll look into others, hopefully
free dining will come out for us. Andrew and I where talking about it last night, and I think we've decided Kidani in the 1BDRM suite would be the best place for this trip! DS said "are you going to keep hopping about between resorts this time, like last trip, or are you going to pick one and stick with it?" LOL!!! but I'm a resort changer, honey!! don't ya know??
He hated the POLY and said as long as we don't stay in that hotel with the cockroach again!
-- My DS is an AKL lover all the way! So when I told him I think Kidani was looking like it will be the best, he was very happy! He doesn't even care that we won't have Club Level. The more I think about it, the more I am liking the idea of extra room over club level. I can always upgrade to deluxe dining to compensate for it..... I'd be too scared to go without a dining plan because I know with the
DDP at least, everything is paid for..... if I had to count on my own budgeting to get us through for meals, I might land short, and that wouldn't be good! Allthough, I am pretty sure we could all eat WELL for less that $100 per person a day!! so it's something to really think about! If free dining is offered and I just have to pay the upgrade , it would be worth it I think.
cleaning the house and doing laundry. Need to finish up printing up docs as well. Glad I have tomorrow off! DH works a full day so I get to drive first shift (until midnight or so) so it needs to be an early night for me tonight!! (If I sleep at all). ;-)
It is amazing how some people touch in your lives in ways you never knew until they are gone. It sounds like he was an amazing man and will be very missed.
not packed??? We leave in 10 days and I'm already starting to take clothes out and wash. Safe travels!!
about the work 
it depends how organized you can be! For me, I only have to pack for myself, and even that seems to be a major undertaking, 
over pack? Me? 
kudos for doing daycare, not sure I could do it. 
Sometimes I have nightmares i forget clothes too 
Hubbo's left this morning for the next 7 days -- just in the knick of time!
