PTR: Because We're Insane: Driving & Triple Split Stay!

[JenSop]

Thanks everyone for following along on my PTR - I think this will be my last update before we go. As promised, I will put a link to the actual TR once I get back.

Tonight we did our last Target run and I did the last of the laundry. (I think.)

Brian actually put a bunch of his clothes together, which is good.

But we still have to get the suitcases down from the attic, which is not so good.

I think I need my actual suitcase to help me narrow down my outfits - it's just such a challenge!

I also have to spray leather protector on those new sandals. Maybe I should just do that now, then they can dry overnight. Nah, don't feel like it right now - not at 1:30am.

Oh, and something else to stress about - my iPod freaked out and had to be restored to the original settings. So everything was completely wiped out. I'm staying up late reloading my playlists. (Many of which had been cherry-picked AFTER being loaded on the iPod in the first place.)

But earlier tonight on iTunes, I bought my favorite Wham album from when I was a kid. That's gonna be some GOOD car singing! And Brian's got Tina Fey's Bossypants on CD, so I can't wait to listen to that!

I'm just so worried about forgetting something. Something that you can't pack until the absolute last day - like your hairdryer. Or certain make-up items.

Haha - this is the side of me you guys don't get to see in my TR's - the super insane stressed out Jen that comes out right before the trip. Stressed! Indecisive! Cranky! Overwhelmed!

But I keep reminding myself that the silver lining is right around the corner. We leave in a day and a half.


Yikes!

and Awesome!

I feel the same way no matter how much I prepare before the trip I think I am going to forget those items you can't pack until last minute like my makeup! I think you guys will be fine though and will a wonderful trip, I cant wait to hear about it Let me know what you think of the Tina Fey book, I was thinking of picking it up

 

[Kathymford]

It is a given for me. I WILL forget something. I have just accepted this as a fact. The hope is that it is just something not too expensive to replace. One time, not a wdw trip, but I brought my entire makeup bag...except the foundation. Lovely.

Good luck!!

FYI - I used my groupon for Old Navy this week! I blame you Jen! I would post the two dresses that I bought, but my work blocks photobucket. Boo.

Thanks ladies!

(And I'll happily take blame for making you buy clothes - it's one of my jobs after all! haha!)



Well, I'm here to report that I'm ALMOST all packed. (As is Brian!)

I did make some changes to my outfits - I just had too many. And I'm sure I still do, but I had to do some weeding out.

So the Yellow Yak and Yeti dress is not coming now. I got a really cute dress at Francesca's today that looks very festive and Mexican fiesta-ish, so that's what I'll wear to La Hacienda. (And it will take up less room in the bag!)

Just have to finish with my shoes and accessories and I'm good to go. (Except for the last minute make-up, hair, and bathroom stuff tomorrow.)

Of course there are lots of errands to run tomorrow, but I plan to sleep in so I'm rested for the drive.

See you all after the trip!!!!!!!!!!

I always worry for something.... Even with the master packing list and all that, I worry that what if I forget something. I make double, triple copies of our adrs and comfirmation and e-ticket etc so that there's one available everywhere.

Have a wonderful time!!!

 

[Shannon84]

Have a safe and wonderful trip!!!

 

[ShesAPirate]

Hope your trip was fantastic! Can't wait to hear about it!!

Just wanted to jump on the 'let's blame Jen for making me buy clothes' bandwagon I ordered two cute dresses (and a tank top and flip flops) from Old Navy the other day. I'll post pics when they arrive

 

[JenSop]

Hi everyone!

We just got back less than two hours ago. I'll get the official TR started in a day or two. SO much to tell - some really good stuff and some not so good stuff.

 

[mousegear]

Welcome back~ I cannot wait for your trip report.

 

[jessily]

Looking forward to your report!

 

[Villainess]

Cannot wait for your TR!

 

[ajf1007]

Yeah!!!!! Can't wait to hear all about your trip!!!

 

[JenSop]

Hi all! I just finished loading all my pics into Photobucket. (Except for the Photopass CD's, of course!)

I'll probably get started in the next few days. I'll be glad to have you all along for the TR!!







And I'll give my PTR readers a small sneak peak as to why I can't get to work right away too much (besides my other catching up of all things.)

I'm sick.

Might be strep.

Got into the doctor's office today and got on an antibiotic right away.

Let's just say that the ride home from Disney was the worst I've ever had.

You'll have to read the TR for all the details....

So sorry to hear that... hopefully you get better soon. I guess WDW is wonderful to visit but with so many people, it's very germy also. I kind of get crazy when we are there with anti-bac gels, wipes, and vitamin C candies, etc.

 

[ajf1007]

Aw, I hope you feel better soon! And I hope it didn't effect your trip! Take care of yourself and rest. We're all here waiting patiently!

 

[Villainess]

Oh no! Sorry you are sick. Feel better soon.

 

[SaraMar1]

yes, feel better

 

[JenSop]

Hi Everyone!!!!

It's official! I started the TR!!!!

(Since I went with the same title, I put "PTR" at the beginning of this thread so as to not create any confusion as to which was which.)

Here's a link! I hope you'll all be able to join me!
