Welcome back DC! Sorry to hear you got a case of the nasties. There really should be some kind of rule against getting sick on vacation.

Hey everyone... I'm back.... unfortunately... I was SERIOUSLY considering accidentally on purpose missing my flight so i had an excuse to spend more time in Florida.

Then again... It also didn't help very much that I came done with a BAD cold on Thursday. A even slightly serious cold can quickly turn super icky when combined with my asthma. (which only ever decides to show up when I get a respiratory illness.) for the most part massive amounts of drugs + a Vitamin C OD (lots of pineapple juice from the Dole Whip booth at the MK), pretty much cleared things out.... until my flight.

cold + airplane decent is NOT fun. My ear didn't want to pop, and it took another strong dosage of drugs and some sleep this morning to finally allow me to hear out my right side. my ear still hasn't fully recovered, but at least I can hear..... unfortunately i'm back to feeling kinda crappy....

...and I'm back at work.


I WANT TO GO BACK!!




I haven't bought DVC, but i did buy into Wyndham Bonnett Creek a few years ago. I've yet to regret the decision. Awesome accommodations that make it VERY easy for me to decide to make a trip down...with the extra room to invite some friends along. It's not technically Disney, but I'm practically on Disney's front porch (gotta go thru the Disney arches to get to the place), and resale it's a lot cheaper than DVC.

welcome back !

glad you had a fun and safe trip,

sorry to hear you got sick, hope ya feel better soon,

as always RUM is the cure..:

welcome home!!! sounds like you had a lot of fun....can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip

What would you like to know? i'm not really a trip report kinda person (don't have the time to put one together).... but i did take a million pics that I posted up on my Facebook page over the week.

Tell me about it! Sadly, I can probably blame my getting sick on the night we were drinking around the world.

Seems that one of the "harem" had a cold before the trip, and since we were all tasting each other's tasty beverages, that's all it took for the bug to pass. Add in the weakened immune system from massive amounts of drinking during the week and some of the weird temp fluctuation throughout the week, and it was a perfect storm for me to catch the nasties.


Oh well... Now to start planning my next "big" trip. i'm thinking maybe mid November? i'd love to check out the Festival of the Masters again. (And by Big trip... there is a good chance that if I can swing it I may make a quick trip for a day or two in September or October to check out Universal's Halloween Horror Nights... but that would be a quick trip for just that purpose)

Happy Birthday Darcy!!

Thank you Augie. . .its my big 50th birthday. Would celebrate but ya know, I am completely exhausted from my weekend. I need to recouperate.

Okay, a little bit about my long birthday weekend. This was a trip I had sort of planned for a little while but it morphed about every 15 days or so. My original plan was to rent a minivan, drive up to PA, visit MICKEY88, drive to Maryland, empty the contents of my storage (very little) into the minivan, drive to North Carolina to visit some friends, spend the night at Hilton Head, stop in Savannah to visit friends and then head back to Kissimmee. The trip I took was MUCH MUCH different. Me and my friend left Kissimmee at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night (the 9th) in a rented Dodge Grand Caravan. We headed to Gaithersburg Maryland (a 14+ hr drive) to pick up my remaining storage contents. Our plan was to go to Gaithersburg, empty storage, sleep there overnight and head to North Carolina to see a friend of his who is dying of cancer. Well, Wednesday morning, the 9th, his friend passed. Don't be sad, at least the friend is no longer suffering. Back to the main plot. We drive to Gaithersburg and go to my storage facility. Wait for the clerk at the U-Haul storage facility to finish with the long haul customer before me just to get gate access (let me say that all this time the rain is POURING down upon our heads). I hand the guy my drivers license and he proceeds to type the wrong information into the computer, not once, twice, three but four times before he finally uses the right name in the computer. . .gives us the info. We unload the storage in about 10 minutes, go back to the office and wait. . .wait. . .wait. . .for another customer to finish their transaction before we get a chance to finish ours. . .it takes me all of 3 minutes to finish. . .lol. Then after the long drive to Maryland to empty the storage, we drive from there back to North Carolina (Fayetteville to be precise) to meet up with my traveling companion's cousin Carmen and her husband Gilberto. Its at this point that the drama conversation ensues. . .apparently the man who passed (Mickey by name) left his wife (whom he married twice. . .he was divorced for 14 years before remarrying her) and moved in with a girlfriend he lived with for the last 10 years before remarrying.

(need a break and more water. . .see next post for remaining story line.)

The girlfriend of the deceased, Sonia, was perhaps the single most wonderful person you would ever love to meet. If you are a guest in her home, it is open to you. She is the hostess, but also the entertainment (guys, quit your perv thoughts right now), laugh meter and genuine caring soul. You will feel welcome the moment you step foot in her home. What a great person. Anyway, the drama that ensued over "mickey's" burial was the fact that he wanted to be cremated and made it be known in a will. He made his mistress, Sonia, executor of that will and gave her power of attorney over his estate. The wife, a catholic, does not believe in cremation and needed time to contest the will. However, the will was drawn up by JAG attorneys (the deceased is retired Army) and, therefore, of platinum standing in a US court of law. No contest was ever brought before a judge. Anyway, to shorten this story to a novel instead of a series book (aka; Lord of the Rings), the wife and original family got their open casket viewing yesterday, and the cremation with ash buriel was today (we did not attend that). I could really expound on this story with all the bickering and innuendo but it isn't important. . .we all went out for drinks and dinner Saturday night to celebrate my Birthday. . .it was awesome. . .

I do miss all of you. ..

And Sara. That's one of the few advantages of not having dated in the 3 years since XH and I split, I've not had any other relationship endings to have to work through.
