I think we'll be on the same plane...V-Australia.

WOW!! So you're flying from Sydney to LA on Friday the 16th of September?!

I think that it's only 50 sleeps to go - aren't we lucky?!

Yep, we fly Melb to Syd with Virgin then on to V-Australia to LA. All the days seem to be going on forever and ever at the moment.Even though it's only 50 days it seems a loooong time.

I can hear the flight attendant now....

Attention passengers, if we have a Bond Gril and Busy Busy and other Disboarders on the flight please make yourself known to the flight attendants bu coming to the galley at the center of the plane"

Well I may see you at the airport -

Although our flight doesnt leave until after 1:00pm - I think the V flight leaves earlier.

 

[Franrose]

I'll be with you in spirit girls, also in the air with v-australia! I think it will only be in spirit anyway. As far as I know, we don't divert to Sydney...

What time do you guys leave/get in? I think we are a 10.30amish flight, I can't remember what the landing time is though.

 

[Franrose]

I'm guessing you arrive to DW around 20 August. From Touringplans.com scale 0 to 10. 10 being crazy 0 being dead quiet. I'm pretty sure a month out data is available to everyone, but I might be wrong, hope not!!!

As an example, on Friday 26 August Epcot will be 2.5 where as HS will be 7.1 so heaps busier. Likewise, on 22 August MK will be 6 and AK will be 5.9.

MK | Epcot | HS | AK |
Sat, August 20, 2011 7.2 8.3 8.9 6.2
Sun, August 21, 2011 7.0 6.9 9.0 6.6
Mon, August 22, 2011 6.0 3.2 7.7 5.9
Tue, August 23, 2011 5.6 7.5 6.4 5.6
Wed, August 24, 2011 5.5 4.2 6.7 7.1
Thu, August 25, 2011 3.7 2.4 6.7 5.0
Fri, August 26, 2011 5.2 2.5 7.1 4.9

Maybe we need a V-Australia 16 September rolecall

I'll miss you by one day. We fly VAustralia to LAX on 17 September.

 

[battymum]

I think AustralianKaren is flying V in premium economy on that day!, She doesnt post here much, but I remember her dates being the same as mine

(I have been thinking about that all the way home from work, gee I need to get a life dont I!!)

 

[Busy Busy]

Battymum, you're not the only one thinking about that, I was too and I'm sure that you're right about Karen being on the flight on the 17th! I think that we all share a brain!

Friends of ours are on the Qantas flight leaving at 10.15am on the 16th, we will meet them at the DoubleTree in NYC on the Friday night, I still can't believe that I'm saying that!

As for the days passing by, I think that they are going too quickly, I have a bazillion things to do, and all that I actually want to do is hang out online and read the disboards, update my Tripit and plan, plan, plan. Where the hell are the maid and personal assistant that I ordered?!

When you are finished with the Maid - send her my way with only 6 weeks to go and I can think of nothing else - I need someone to come to my house and spring clean before we leave..... I have thought about cloning myself though

40 days to go

 

[bondgirl]

Gee, I bet there's umpteen gazillion people who wish they had our problems!

 

[Busy Busy]

Oooooh, I'm up to my neck in plans for my holiday.....

Groan, why can't I get a better ADR time at Whispering Canyon Cafe....?

Ugh, we have to get DS to the SCG for cricket training early on Sunday morning.....

Oh no, I have to organise my gorgeous Dad's birthday party.......

You're exactly right Bondgirl......I will now shut up and stop whining about my "busy busy" life!

 

[battymum]

Cricket? Its July!!

 

[Busy Busy]

I know, I know.....cricket rules around here - and I should know because I'm the one who has to Napisan his whites constantly!!

Maybe one day I will sit in the Ladies Stand at the SCG and watch my son play, but in the mean time I am completely content to sit in the car in the SCG parking lot and wait for him to finish in the nets!

 

[Travel Mum]

I need someone to come to my house and spring clean before we leave

Yes, it just occurred to me yesterday that, because we are getting a housesitter for the month that we are away, I will have to springclean the house from top to bottom before we go. Oh crap, that will put a dampner on the holiday countdown

Me too! My next month goes like this: 25 August, 1st housesitter arrives. 27 August, 1 week cruise (returning 3 September). 9 September, 2nd housesitter arrives (aka DH's parents!). 16 September, USA!

Which is all fantastic, but means that I need to seriously clean over the next four weeks because there's only a week between trips where we don't have someone staying with us, and I imagine it will be pretty busy!

I fly out 15th sept, so miss the whole lot of you, although I thought i may make up a sign to hold up as people board the aircraft just in case.....i'll be the one bouncing like tigger wearing out the DH before we even take off........

maybe i should just medicate myself.......only 49 sleeps.........

oh and did i mention.......WE ARE GOING TO HAWAII IN FEBRUARY TO STAY AT THE DISNEY RESORT!!!!!Spur of the moment trip, Qantas air was cheap as $1300 each......and I have DVC points burning a whole in my pocket............go the aussie dollar $1.10 today......

ok, I'll get back to work now

I told my DH that there is another Disboarder on our flight (Bondgirl) and he now truly thinks that I am a complete NERD!!

He's not surprised though, we run into people that I know EVERYWHERE - so on a plane heading to another hemisphere - well it's just another day with Tracey!!

Hehe, I know what you mean. I sometimes find myself telling my DH about experiences or hints I've got off the Aussie/Kiwi board and I have to start off by saying something like "this lady I know......." which is funny because I don't really know anyone on here but just feel like I do!

We are happy nerds in this house so you're in good company.
We're only travelling cattle class tho
