Bring on the Dodgers baby!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I wonder if I will run into a kilt wearer this trip or should I wear one...

I thought it was already decided - Jordan in a Kilt!

 

[jordanyosh]

bring on the dodgers baby!

go blue.

 

[jordanyosh]

I thought it was already decided - Jordan in a Kilt!

Oy! We'll see.

I'm planning on just hanging out that night, maybe going to DTD and eating at Wolfgang's Express..were you the one that had a mediocre meal there or the great meal?

i've always had EXCELLENT experiences there, both in orlando and atlanta. their food is always really good, at least in my opinion.

oh, and i see you're having a meet with jenny in june. i wish i could think of a good excuse to fly out to southern california sometime that week...that would be quite the meet! actually, i met jenny back in september 2007 by total chance. i got on the monorail and there she sat. but i didn't really know her very well then and didn't know of the greatness that was in my presence.

I completely trust your judgment of WPE.....

I need to think of a good excuse to fly out your way....Savannah might be a good excuse. I love the South.....I really want to explore more of it....

 

[Native NYer]

budget? huh?

Exactly!!!

 

[jordanyosh]

Exactly!!!

I am nothing but an enabler...

savannah is a fun place. it's so full of history and it's just beautiful. AND they let you take alcohol out on the street on river street. we may just get another drunk story.

from what i hear, savannah is really awesome on halloween and on st. patrick's day. i've never been for either though. i've been in april, june, july, september and october. april and october were awesome. june and july were miserably hot. savannah is STIFLING!!!! so avoid the summer if you can.

sounds good to me! you let me know and i'll definitely meet you there. it's only a 4-hour drive for me. although who knows if i will be preggo then - if so, i will be the DD!

I just need to find someone to travel with.

i would commit but i may be 9 months pregnant then...who knows? ray seriously wouldn't mind. i used to have more guy friends than girl friends and he totally trusts me. anyway, you have a year to think about it. if you are serious, let me know. i'd be happy to meet you down there if possible!

Chapter 35. Itinerary Draft 4.

Okay so some info about my itinerary. I put times down. This does NOT mean I try to stick to the time at all. I just like to set some guidelines for our group to follow. If we don't set guidelines, many times we don't get enough down time/nap time....at the end of our trips we often say how we wish we had more rest time or just free time. So I try and set "guidelines"

So here it is..........

Questions

For the 4 day solo part of my trip I am doing the DDP-4 CS/4 TS. On Sunday I will be finishing up my QSDP, so I won't be using any of my DDP meals that day. On my last day, I will basically be packing up and leaving, probably no meal credits used there. SOOO...I have 4 CS/4 TS to use in 3 days. I currently have CS meals at Leaning Palms, Mara, Mara. TS I have Jiko (2TS) and Kouzzina...On Wednesday I can do a CS or TS at DHS......what would you do....Here is also a list of TS on my radar:

Sanaa
Brown Derby
Boma
Flying Fish
Sci Fi
Mama Melroses
Kona Cafe....

I am not really wanting 2 TS meals at AKL/V....even though the restaurants there are highly regarded, but maybe that's the way to go....HELP.

I am also still not liking the schedule for the last 4 days. Can't put my finger on it yet....

Click here for next installment.

 

[jordanyosh]

i would commit but i may be 9 months pregnant then...who knows? ray seriously wouldn't mind. i used to have more guy friends than girl friends and he totally trusts me. anyway, you have a year to think about it. if you are serious, let me know. i'd be happy to meet you down there if possible!

I am...it will depend on if there's a bounceback discount in the room at Pop....

 

[Native NYer]

LOVE your itinerary. I think you should consider a job at one of the IPOs.
Your plans are SO detailed. I don't even know what I'm wearing tomorrow

 

[eandesmom]

Looks good, I like that you have the AK restrooms scheduled.

It does seem like a lot of Everything Pop.....

But you've got some nice dining in there!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Your itinerary looks great! I love how you have everything down to the minute! And I love that you have lots of down time/rest time/hang out time!

 

[All7OfUs]

Whoa! That is some touring schedule. I wouldn't have thought to schedule in hanging out in the bar time, you sure did! I like those reminders to self to take those midnight walks around the resort too. I would have forgotten to schedule in a little laundry time too.

A question.... I"ve not done the trails in AK yet, and you only have 30 minutes for them. Is that really all you need?? Or would you say for a newbie, more time would be needed to really "get it"? I really hope I'll be able to catch a PM EMH there!

I didn't see any shows or fireworks or parades- do you avoid them?? What's up with that?

 

[vamassey1]

Your plans puts mine to shame. So much more detail and lots of down time. We'll have to compare it to the finished product in a couple of months.

By the way I finally tried diet sierra mist cranberry splash. I give it . Very tangy.
