Greetings from Australia
- the only place with more sunburnt Poms than Orlando.
Looking forward to joining you on 22nd - our arrival date! However, not sure if I'll still be able to stand upright as we arrive at about 7pm after 30 hours travel from Perth in Western Australia (11 hours to Tokyo
, 11 hours to Detroit
, 3 hours to Orlando
).
I know, I know - I must be a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic
- but don't fret gentle readers, I have a positive mental attitude, a BIG bag of teeny-tiny distractions/activities (my goal is 30 - one an hour) and the Australian Travelling Mother's Last Resort - a big bag of antihistimines... there I'll be, drooling, snoring and probably worse
- but hey, I'll be in another place, a far better place....the other two can fend for themselves...(only kidding... or am I...)
Anyway, I have had to machinate, plot, cajole and bully rest of my small family consisting of DH
- or I refer to him as NIITSDH (Not-Interested-In-The-Slightest-DH) and 9 year old TrampolineLegoGoGoGoBoy
DS Rory. Sooo, the RESPONSIBILITY is crushing dear SepPoFo's - what happens if we don't have a good time -
- or, or it rains -
or someone gets sick
, or everyone hates it -
and it was ALL MY IDEA
!!!!
Blimey - I feel much better now....it's all vented and handed over - gosh you gals are GOOD!!
Anway, background here - we're originally from the UK so I went with my family as a teenager in the 80's and in 1992 I took DH on a 4 day whirlwind tour with very early and very skinny edition of the Unofficial Guide (it worked, even back then, we saw everything, but it did stress DH out as I wouldn't allow him to eat - I was FOCUSSED -
no time to eat - chop, chop you SLACKER!.
But now of course, I am mature and wise in man-ways, so we have 14 days and plentyplenty rests aka TGM. There will be NO stress, no late rushing around, all will be calm and serene grasshopper...we will be as butterfly wafted on gentle breeze, as we glide effortlessly from rope drop to strategic FP to scheduled siesta to cunningly planned ADR. It is all in "The Schedule" (oh yes, it's in colour) and there will be absotively, posalutley NO real life interfering in my shiny happy plan.
Anyway, have blathered on and not managed to give dates - we're at POP from 22nd Sept to 7th Oct.
And mines a Sea Breeze (1/3 vodka, 1/3 cranberry juice, 1/3 pink grapefruit juice) or I make a mean Rose Martini...not to mention my Margarita Ice Cream (it's what angels eat on their hen/does nights).
We just don't seem to get the good air deals out of Sacramento because we aren't a hub. If I can get anything under 300 round trip I would be pleased.. It's that our drive the 4 hours to San Fran and that just isn't going to happen 
Another day down and closer to that MOUSE
I NEVER thought I would be wishing days away 
but I am so hoping the next few months of my life pass quickly 
I was up tossing and turning all night 
How do you use credits for a car rental? On that note, did you get the SW postcard for quadruple RR pts with Hertz? They usually run a bit more though
How are you today??
. There are many a pool party happening, you are going to want to check in on the thread below to get on the official list of Sept 22 party planners.. hope to see you soon
