Elin, I leave tomorrow afternoon and I haven't even started packing yet!

I've got more baking and cleaning to do if you want to come over and keep busy before your trip

We're actually headed sort of your way on Friday. Headed to Newport News on Friday for a long weekend with our bestest friends

If for some reason, I don't talk to you again this week; have a WONDERFUL trip!

And I cannot wait to spend a couple of days with the adorable munchkin! Oh, and you too, Diana....

 

[Flossbolna]

Elin, Laura and Diane, I hope you all have wonderful trips to WDW! Being there over Christmas must be really special!

They just don't come any cuter than that!!!


I'm almost packed!! It's usually not this difficult, but I'm bringing a small suitcase on the plane for the 1st 3 days and sending the rest of my clothing with DH and the girls who will be driving down this weekend!! This could work out great or be a total disaster!!

 

[RachelTori]

Well that didn't work!!! (trying to pack 2 small suitcases)

So I upgraded my flight to Business Class using rewards points, will pack my regular suitcase and check it at the airport, and carry-on my little suitcase without it being so full it barely closes!!!

And I'll just hope we'll have enough room in the car for the ride home!! (DH assured me we would but, well, to know him is to love him!!! )

So now I have to go re-pack!!

We are doing the same thing. myBob and Kristin will pack their suitcases and have them in my car by Thursday morning! My packing is about finished too. Just have to fit it all in!!

Have fun tonight, and safe travels. See you soon!

Somewhere between inception and execution, it went terribly wrong!!!

Thanks Elin I cannot wait to see her reactions to things....being almost 3.5...so into Christmas this year...she has already said "This is the best Christmas ever..." little does she know!

Elin, Laura and Diane, I hope you all have wonderful trips to WDW! Being there over Christmas must be really special!

With all my changes....(quiet from the peanut gallery...I would be a travel agent's nightmare....Ok, Laura had a good joke for that one already...) I now have an extra day...so 4 nights ..woohoo...Elin and Laura will have time to relax after the munchkin and I leave on Monday..

You two are something...I havent even began to pack!! I have gotten Ava's wardrobe together....her Christmas Minnie party dress from Disney Store and her Sleeping Beauty costume....what else does she need?!

It is 20 degrees right now...off to take Ava to preschool and last minute running around.....cant wait for Florida weather...will be like summer to me!

 

[RachelTori]

Are you done yet??? lol want to see pics of all the luggage on the way home...lol

I have finished packing!!! Oh, the ride home will not be pretty, I'm sure!! What will be an even funnier site is me trying to lug all this stuff through the hotel tomorrow morning around 6am to catch the airport shuttle!! (OK, it's not a pretty site normally, but with more luggage than I can manage on my own, it'll REALLY not be pretty!!! )

 

[RachelTori]

I just wanted to post one more time!! I'm at the Atlanta Airport Sheraton; the Club Level lounge will open in about 45 minutes, so that's where I'll be!! I have a room on the 12th (top) floor with a runway view; I just love watching the planes take off!

Tomorrow morning around 6:30 I will be taking the shuttle over to the airport and if there are no delays, I will be at a park (not even sure which one yet!!) before noon!

Diana, I will see you and Ava Thursday and Elin, we'll see you Friday!

Dwight and the girls arrive Saturday morning!

Safe travels everyone!

I am home! I need to find time for an update and a change from PTR to TR status. But, suffice it to say that it was a marvelous trip. I had the best time with friends, old and new. And family time was precious too. I will try to put something together for the first couple of days tonight or tomorrow!

Welcome home! Sounds like a wonderful trip, I can't wait to hear about it. It will just be the right thing to get me in the Disney mood for my trip which is less than a month away!
