(ok, I thought I posted this and it's not here)

Ok, I'll try to make this short. When we booked the cruise, we were NOT doing the land portion (due to money). Then hubby decided that we should. AFter checking flights and all, it would cost us another $150 to fly home on southwest (we already had tickets to come home on the 11th via air tran, but they would charge us $150 to change plus any increase). So we booked with southwest and thought we'll just eat the difference.

This week, I get an email from airtran. They changed the time for our return flight (the one we were not goign to be using) from 7pm to 8:30 AM!!!!! Well you can't make an 8:30 am flight from the cruise port, so I called and they let me cancel my flight!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!! I had the option to cancel just that part of it and keep the flight down, but it was costing me $200 to keep the flight down so I cancelled both, knowing i could book with southwest for less than that (without a ding). So I am looking online today and find a US (scareways as we call them) for $149! (this is for both of us)!!!! I am getting a refund from airtran of $358 and paying $149 for my new tics! I'm so excited. Now if i could only convince hubby to let me use that $200 towards a photoshoot with Randy Chapman, I'd be all set!

Thats awesome! Your hubby should let you use for a session with Randy!!!!

It's your lucky day!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness! You are having a great day! That is so cool about the airline tickets! Isn't it nice to have something go your way once in awhile?

You can tell a difference from your Christmas photo and your Father's Day photo. Keep up the good work. I know it can be discouraging when the scale isn't moving fast enough.

Your passport will be here before you know it. We got ours late last fall (around Thanksgiving, maybe) and had them before Christmas. It didn't seem to take as long as the predicted 6-8 weeks. More like 3-4 weeks. I just had ours out the other day. I was telling my husband they were getting dusty and needed to be used.

Thanks Kelly. It is really nice when something goes the right way for a change. I've read recently about people getting their passports in two weeks or so, so I am sure we have nothing to worry about. I think you need to get hubby moving on using those passports. I'm hoping once we get them that we'll actually need to use them again SOON!!!! (but never know )

 

[pjstevens]

TWO MONTHS UNTIL OUR CRUISE (AND ONE DAY LATER OUR VOW RENEWAL)!!!!

woo hoo! Can't wait to hear all about it!

I think hubby wants to take another cruise. It's just a matter of when. We promised the girls that we would take them the next time we go. I just don't know when. We are already taking them out of school for 5 days this fall for WDW. I don't think we better take them out anymore than that. They have a week for spring break but it's probably the same time as every other school so it could be a bad time. I guess we'll wait and see.

Yay! Your'e at the 2 month mark!!

 

[padisneyfour]

2 months and counting!!!! That is exciting.....

 

[keenercam]

Cam,

You are so bad!!! You always make me feel good! I love having you as my workout buddy! I was so bad while you were away (really slacking, lol). Hope to sleep better tonight and get back in my routine!

 

[figmentfan814]

It's hard to believe you're so close to your VR; how exciting!

I'm glad things worked out with the flights, anymore with the airlines it's hard to find ways to save money, so I'm glad things worked out

Thanks Vanessa. I can't wait for September to get here! I love following along on your Tr and can't wait for the next update.

 

[pjstevens]

I can't believe TWO MONTHS!!!! and it will finally be here! I am so excited and each day gets me just a tiny bit closer. I'll tell you NO bad dreams last night, thankfully. Oh wait, I think i forgot to post my latest bad dream here, lol. I've told a few people, so I thought I posted, but NO, forgot all together... ok, a couple nights ago, I have this lovely dream.

You have to take a little boat from the ship to CC and for some reason my VR was there (even though its not). I had to get dressed there, not on the ship. I had my dress with me but it disappeared on CC. Then the cake wasn't together, and by not together, I mean it was like little petit fours they were going to PUT TOGETHER to make my cake!!!!! I was like NO way. Nothing was right. Oh, wait to top it off, hubby wasn't there. Not sure what happened to him? And I was really mad cause there was no photographer to take our photo when we got to the ship and they didn't announce us like I've read so much about when you board the ship!!!!

Needless to say, I think I've got some stress issues going on making me dream like this!

 

[WDBRDWLK]

OMG you are stressing way to much! Relax, it's Disney! The next two months will fly by and before you know it you will be packing for your cruise. Your VR will be awesome. Let me know if you have any questions, our VR was almost 2.5 yrs ago, seems like it was yesterday! We had so much to display that we purchased a curio cabinet for our living room. So every day we can reminise on our fantastic trip.

ha ha ha...last night, I dreamed that I was on the ship but forgot to bring my suitcase..I was trying to get my dog sitter to fedex me my clothes in Port Canaveral!

Thank you so much for the offer. I remember looking at your photos a while ago when i was just starting out. Everything looked so nice. I know, i need to not worry about so much (and really i don't think I am, but I guess deep inside my head, something is worrying, lol).

Betsy,

I think our brains are playing tricks on us!!! At least you ahve the first cruise to realize if you forgot anything, hopefully you won't either!

 

[pjstevens]

I stopped by and paid off my dress yesterday and found out it is due to ship on the 21st!!!!! So, hopefully I'll have it by the end of the month!!!!

I ran my third 5k on Thursday night. It was tougher than the first two. I think a combo of the high humidity and temp and the REALLY big hill!!!! I did two miles this am with my workout buddy (CAM!!!!) and can't believe I am going to do another 5k next Saturday. Got to keep working to make sure this dress fits when it comes in.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Congrats on the run! Someday I will run in the WDW marathon, that's my goal.
