Sounds like you had a great get-away. But I completely understand being glad to be home again.

We did...but like you said, there is no place like home....and getting everyone back into the groove of things is huge!! As you well know!!

Hi Kristen

All caught up here...PHEW!!! I was starting to get this panicky feeling that I was so far behind. Feeling much better now! So, now that you're back do you feel like you're entering "full Disney mode?" You're getting so close!!! Sounds like you had a great time in NJ and Philly. Hope you get some sun! We have some up here today...not holding my breath that it will last for more than one day!?! Isn't this crazy???

Hi Leighan!! Welcome back!!! I'm not in full Disney mode yet....but getting there.....need to start doing some more planning, I'm finding with me not traveling with the kids, it's not as exciting. Don't get me wrong, we're all excited, but not like the countdown daily with the boys and that sort, make sense? I've got to get a countdown of some sort going for Mom and Jodi and get that excitement built now that I'm home for the rest of the Summer!! It will be here before I know it.....

Ugh, this weather!! This afternoon was nice and the next couple of days sound like they will be okay..I hope! I pray! I need beachtime with these kids!! LOL!!

It really is getting close! I feel like once you hit 60 it really starts to move. We are at 56 days right now.

I agree with Brook. Time just seems to speed up once you hit the 2 month mark. That's when I start to freak about what I need to get to complete my trip checklist. then I check it about 4 more times before I leave. Is that OCD?

Hi Everyone!

TGIF! It's another sunny day here in MA, so I don't have time to post really today, but I see more rain in our future (UGH!) so there will be time to post some real Disney posts soon!! Stay tuned! I just wanted to wish everyone a nice weekend while I had a minute!!

I'm still working on the night before the trip with my Mom. Thanks for your great ideas, I'm researching those and some other park and ride hotels near Logan to see the price difference. I'm hoping to have those ironed out this weekend, I'm just waiting to get Mom's input there.

I have also sent a list of "necessities" for Jodi to bring. Since she is driving from SC to POP, we can have her haul some things so we don't need to. Most important is my BED!!! I have told them that I will be the one to sleep on the air mattress so we all have our own space after a long day together,but I'm counting on Jodi bringing that up for me. Along with a case of water, some snacks, maybe some quick breakfast foods to take on our way out, that sort. Can you think of anything that I wouldn't think of?

On my agenda shortly is shoes...do I get a new pair of crocs? keens? sneaks? ahhh!!! , park bag...starting to question my VB purchase (LL, you wouldn't have any idea on this, would you? LOL!!)...is it big enough? too big? Ahhh!! After all, it's just me I need to worry about (imagine that?!!) so I don't need that much...I don't think.....camera, chapstick, wallet, gum, poncho, sunscreen.....what else?

Okay, off to play with the boys...it's too nice to be in!! Have a great weekend and I'll write again soon!!

Two days of sunshine

I bet you cant wait to September just to see the sun for longer than a day or two

For those of you not in the New England area it has rained almost everyday for the past few months. I actually think the last time I really enjoyed the sun was in April down in Disney

 

[Lady Lallie]

I didn't even get to enjoy the sun in Disney in May!

I am so over the rain we have been having. I have been counting down the mniutes today at work so I can get out there in the NICE sunshine!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend too!

I can't think of anything else you have forgotten for Jodi to bring.

What bag did you end up buying? I am sure it will be just fine for you!

I know, poor, LL!! What a shame...let's hope our September trips will be SUN filled for both of us!!!!

This Summer has stunk weather wise, I was sooo happy to be on the beach this a.m I hope you got to enjoy some of it today...it was just the most perfect day! Let's hope the weekend is similiar!!!!

I ended up buying the mini hipster!

I'm thinking it's going to be too small...thoughts?!!

Thanks LL, afterall, you're the bag expert at this point!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I think the hipster is too small for me. I really like the size of the mailbag but you might thing that is too big for you. I dunno. How large is your camera? I say the smaller the better while fitting all of your stuff.

Hmmm....thanks! I'm going to take a look at their website, Todd is going to kill me! I guess I'll try and fit things in and go from there, I'm with you, the smaller the better fitting everything....it just seem SO tiny!!! I was thinking about getting one of their backpacks.....hmm, my wheels are spinning......

 

[brookelizabeth]

I don't have any Vera advice...unfortunately. LL is the Queen of Bags though! I have read the hipster is pretty good for most people though, not sure on the mini-hipster.

 

[melimel2100]

FYI I use the mini-hipster for Disney and it's fine...I used to be a pack mule with a backpack and I am only dealing with myself LOL...

 

[melimel2100]

I take it back, I use the Hipster (regular size) and it's more then fine! I have one if you want to see it in person (gives us a good reason to see each other LOL)...good thing Kelly corrected me!

 

[dvcmember00]

I used the hipster (not mini-hipster) on my last trip in January, and it was great for the plane and great for Disney. Big enough for my BlackBerry, wallet, camera, and a few other random things and could still zip up!

Thanks Brook! LL is the master of bags, i'm going to have to check out her advice on the mailbag or maybe the hipster....I'll keep you posted!!

Thanks Mel! Do you have a lot more room in the hipster? It seems big to me, but maybe not.....going to VB site now...thanks! And btw, we don't need an excuse to see each other, we just need to schedule something!!!! Hint, hint! LOL!!
