yep, its that time of the trip again.....45 days and having those lost passport, missed flights, sleeping in dreams......
I wouldn't know about those... from what I understand, you have to actually get some sleep to have nightmares!
Is it just me or does six weeks sound AWFULLY close all of a sudden?
(though it is just under 8 weeks for me)

lol, I know what you mean.
On one hand I'm beyond excited with my 55 days to go, but another part of me is suffering from mild buyers remorse.
Right at that point when everything is paid off and I am so financially invested in a holiday that I can't back out, I usually get this little voice of doubt set in questioning whether I'm doing the right thing. Ironically for the last 3 or 4 trips it's been slight remorse that if I hadn't of succumbed to a holiday closer to home (Fiji, South Island etc.) I would be one step closer to getting my son to Disneyworld. This time, however, it's my love of scenery and the great outdoors that has me questioning whether I should have stuck with my original plan and gone to Yellowstone or done an Alaskan cruise (or my dream holiday - both).
Silly I know, and I'm certainly not loosing any sleep over it; I'm yet to go on a holiday I've regretted afterwards. There are just so many wonderful places to visit in this world and I need to win lotto so I can visit all of them.
I am glad I am not the only one who has buyers remorse
You have to save something for next time just to make sure there is a reason to go back
We were dissapointed with Yellowstone we expected a lot more wildlife to be roaming around
That's a shame about Yellowstone. Although, I must admit, hearing a negative comment about the place makes me a little bit happier that I chose theme parks over National Parks
On a positive note, I got some US dollars changed over today. The NZ exchange rate had bounced back a little bit so I decided to get half of what I want to take with me. Hopefully the dollar keeps rising between now and getting the other half. The bank only had $100 notes, so I put in a money order for some smaller notes ($5 and $10) to use for tipping shuttle drivers etc when we arrive.
WAMUMOF4 and anyone doing an upcoming Disney Cruise, are you planning on prepaying for one of the photo packages? I keep going back and forth between the most expensive package with a CD and all prints, to the 10 print package, to nothing at all. At about $400, the expensive package is REALLY expensive. But given that these are actual professional photographers (unlike photopass at WDW) and you can walk away with hundreds of pics including some from a professional family photo-shoot, it is probably good value by land standards. But that still doesn't take away from the fact that it's a lot of money on top of an already expensive cruise. Decisions, decisions ....
This ladies blog is giving me food for thought

for the $ going up a bit!
I only exchanged $500 (US$445), but I figure that will be enough for the first day, maybe two of incidentals. The rest will be on the travel card and TC's - old school
