Something About Nothing..........# 10

[bubba's mom]

I'll always remember you this way now.

meh...I guess there's always worse ways to remember me

I highly recommend the documentary Blackfish, dealing with the killer whale Tilikum and the 3 people he's killed. It also talks a lot about killer whales in captivity period. It's eye opening. I don't think I'll visit a Sea World park ever again.

oh no...don't know if I could watch it. But, I haven't been to SeaWorld either

8 more days until we're on our way to Universal! Can't wait! I followed up last week's tailbone injury last night with accidentally eating a piece of plastic which was imbedded in a cheese cube, apparently, and being violently ill for 4 hours early this morning. That was the start of my 17th wedding anniversary. Needless to say, we didn't do much celebrating today, lol. Hoping to avoid further tragedy so that I can be halfway healthy by the time we get to the parks!

Sorry to hear not off to good start...but, it's still your anniversary! So...happy happy

Good morning!!! & Happy (belated) Birthday to Janet and Barb!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!

Thanks!

Brab, its actually quite a well made documentary. Not too gory. There is a few scenes showing injuries on the whales from being attacked by other whales. Oh, and one somewhat graphic scene about breeding that does show the whales'.....equipment.

Mine is buried down there in my sig line. We're booked and ready! Just need to book the beach part but that's no biggie.

ehem... Is it too early to pack now?

 

[macraven]

if you are a normal person, it is never to early to pack.


me, i wait
i'm not in the normal group...

We normally pack the night before. We have a list for long trips and short trips. We are always going so its easy for us.

 

[goofyfigment]

I normally would have started but I'm moving my daughter back to school in Louisiana so I had to pack for that and then when I get back I'll have 4 days to pack for universal! Such a rough life lol

 

[Lynne G]

I must not be a normal packer. I pack the day/night before I leave, regardless of the number of days I am gone.

Luggage will be pulled out of the closet on Saturday. It will be a hint to the kids to start finding the clothes they want to take. I have been known to do wash in the early morning hours the day before we leave.


Most of our summer has been rain, every few days. This week has not started out any different. Rain predicted today and tomorrow, with heavy thunderstorms at times. I am so ready for the generally rain free CA summer. 7 more sleeps.

 

[Kogo Shuko]

I may be pulling the suticase out extra early this year because I have this giant pile of things that need to go with me. I'm visiting friends, so there's a lot of presents sitting on my easy chair. I think it would just make sense to bring out the suitcase and throw all the presents inside, that way I don't forget anything!!

 

[rowan555]

We homeschool and are starting school today. I must be nuts. Trying to get our first week of school done AND pack for our trip, while also setting things up for my husband and son to "survive" for ten days without us. I think this will be the fastest week ever.

 

[macraven]

do a week of school and then take a 2 week break.

everyone would love school then.........



heck, i take a 3 week break during the school year.
i'm in orlando then.


morning homies.
start of a new work week.


ugh, i go back back on monday.

Hi homies

A belated to Janet and Barb...like Janet said..."better late than never".

I made my final payment to Southwest vacations yesterday, now all I have to do is get our ROF passes and airport transportation. It will be interesting to see how Airtran through Southwest works. The things I do to avoid baggage fees It's only a little over an hour flight so even if we don't sit together it will be ok.

I used to start packing weeks in advance, now I'm a last minute packer like mac.

Hope everyone has a great week

 

[macraven]

vicki, if you book thru sw then no baggage fees.

but if you book thru airtran, you do pay baggage fees.

[tink1957]

Yep...that's why I booked thru SW...the bad side is we don't get to choose our seats.

 

[rowan555]

It gets better! We get back from Universal August 29th. A week and a half of school, and then we're taking a 5 day cruise (3 school days off). God, I love homeschooling - the BEST perk is being able to vacation when school is in session, then school when it's hot as hell in the summertime and too miserable/crowded/expensive to bother with vacationing!

check in @ T - 24, you will receive your seat assignments. If for some reason they are not acceptable, arrive @ the counter (ours was combined AT/SWA early on, not sure if they all are by now or not) and plead your case.

I start tossing things ahead of time into a storage bin, then wind up taking out 1/2 the stuff when I finally do stuff it in our checked luggage. I do keep our carryon's 'ready' for spur-of-the moment jaunts.

mac - normalcy is highly over-rated and boring

 

[rowan555]

Do any of you hand-wash small clothing items in the sink at the hotel? I'm trying to minimize packing for this 10 day trip, but my goodness, it's hard. I'm used to going on cruises and having unlimited free wash and fold - not to mention all the food included, lol! This is a new experience all around for us after probably a dozen cruises and NO land vacations. Just trying to figure out how to make the clothes we pack last us ten days without bringing a third suitcase!

totally agree

I wouldn't be able to pack any way. I'm in no way happy with my weight but I am steadily losing and hope to be far enough down to be able to treat my self to some clothes shopping before our trip
