Something About Nothing ... #12

[keishashadow]

Tink - what day is your flight out? On SWA? Any chance of sneaking out last flight out the day prior? Stay @ MCO, then onto WDW via ME?

Thanks Robo........love the meme! And it's purple........... Hoping your property, neighbours and your sister are all safe...........such a worry for folks in the path of Irma.

Tink, hope you get on your way safely too..........fingers crossed!


Well, we are packed. Was surprisingly easy and we both have space left in both suitcases??? Maybe I do need more clothes.......... Wonder what we've forgotten.

Looking forward to driving to airport hotel tomorrow......that's when our trip really starts.........nice big glass of wine in business lounge at Radisson.

Off out with friend soon..........DH is waiting for DS to come home from work then they're going out for pizza as I'm off out too...........no cooking for a month.........

Thought i wished you a happy anniversary, maybe no duh. Anyway, hope you had a nice celebration and an even bigger one in NYC!!!

Your flight out is Friday, then down to MCO Tuesday? Safe travels . Leave a light on for us lol. Think we'll miss u @ MCO, our current flight in is Sunday, 10/1 crack of dawn to WDW

Just checking in to say hi. Been very busy here with the new home and now the hurricane. Busy at work and all of south Florida is a mad house. House is still not fully done from renovations, that's the problem when your the only one doing the work but look at the money we did not have to spend, like it was a choice, lol.

Just hope the house will be ok as we are staying elsewhere during the storm. Please go further east.

Hope everyone is doing great too. Wish we were going to universal in a month to do HHN and meetup. Just life priorities have taken over with an emergency home purchase.

Robo, glad to hear you are not in FLA right now. I hope your home and all the other homies homes in FLA are fine. At least you should be able to get back later next week. Hoping all homies in FLA are safe, as well as their homes. At least the most current forecasts show up the Atlantic side of FLA. I hope it stays even more off the FLA coast, out to sea. Pictures of St. Thomas are amazing, the wind is bending the palm trees almost in half. That's strong wind. Pictures from Anguilla show roofs removed, and lots of building parts in the streets. Praying no one was killed or hurt in the Islands that have already felt the power of Irma.

Still a rainy day, with 80 percent chance of another thunderstorm line coming in around 4pm. Fun ride home I guess. Lights flickered this morning. Electricity was certainly in the air, given the amount of lightning I saw. May pick up food on the way home, then don't have to go out again. Cool too, not out of the 60's yet.

Safe travels Schumi. The week-end is now showing cool, but clear, sunny days. I hope that is what you get too, lovely Fall weather. Totally understand not wanting to be bothered phone checking.

Thanks Lynne......hoping for nice weather for sure.......you won't be far behind us........hope you avoid the thunderstorm........

You did.......lol......you and mac both wished us well in emails........and yes.......looking forward to celebrating again in NYC!! Fly to NY Friday but fly to MCO on Wednesday........thanks.......you too.......


Friends daughter had an emergency, not serious, she just needed her mum. So we cancelled our plans and I'm home........maybe just as well as so many last minute things to do........

Time for a glass of wine..........

Oh Bluer. Glad to hear you post. Glad also that you are not home and safe. Crossing my fingers and mummy dust your new house will be fine. Sorry to hear you needed to move, but hope you and the Mrs. and kid are doing well.

 

[Lynne G]

Rain and thunder. Hope this does not repeat in another hour. Sorry to hear your dinner date was not to be Schumi. A later night wine sounds lush. Sometimes better to have a quiet night before leaving in a few days.

 

[Lynne G]

Keisha, what time do you get in at MCO? I'm leaving just after the crack of dawn. Wonder Robo's and Mac's time arrival at MCO too the day we all arrive.

We fly to Orlando on Tuesday so hopefully it will be ok by then, going to the darkside first so no ME.

 

[tink1957]

Hi bluer...good to hear from you

 

[Metro West]

Well...the storm continues to move to the East which is great news! We won't miss it entirely but hopefully the effects will be a lot less intense. Should be later Sunday afternoon/evening into Monday morning and the hopefully gone!

 

[keishashadow]

Storm track should be updated after 5 pm. My money's on the European model as it was right on the mark in texas.

Just checking in to say hi. Been very busy here with the new home and now the hurricane. Busy at work and all of south Florida is a mad house.

Lol i just sent you an email to check on you. Worried you had mysteriously disappeared. A lot of that going around. Good luck to you and the homestead.

Keisha, what time do you get in at MCO? I'm leaving just after the crack of dawn. Wonder Robo's and Mac's time arrival at MCO too the day we all arrive.

If we don't flip it over to Saturday (depending on whether the mr can steal away a day early). On SWA they run a tight ship, should land after 9 am. Lol maybe we'll all bump into each other @ MCO!

 

[Metro West]

Been watching the news all day...storm looks to be skirting the coast again like Matthew last year but Irma is much bigger and a lot stronger. Still hoping it moves off into the Atlantic but it doesn't look good for the Orlando area.

 

[Lynne G]

All we can hope is it goes even further out to sea. Stay safe Metro.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. I'm really tired, but wanted to check in. I've been working on a huge insurance issue at work for almost a year now. It is making me a bit loopy, but I think I might be seeing a faint glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Tink1957 - I am familiar with Lithia Springs but don't think I have actually been there. My brother lives fairly close to there. (Austell)

Macraven - I spent many summer Saturdays at that Six Flags. I think all of my favorite rides are gone now though.

Robo56 - I love the Halloween trees. We need to do some decorating. I'm just not very good at it.

Schumigirl - Happy belated anniversary.

Chuckers - Hope you are able to have your vacation, but if not, January is a great time to go.

Prayers and good wishes to all of you who are in Florida, going to Florida, or are just in the hurricane path in general.

I'm off to do a little reading before bed. I've decided to reread the Harry Potter series (again) in preparation for your trip.

 

[schumigirl]

Getting last minute packing and hand luggage sorted this morning.........

Did have a little blub when DS left for work this morning.........this will be the longest time I won't see him for......yes, I know he's an adult.........but.........will miss him! Skype will help.

Setting off in an hour or so and will take our time, should take less than 3 hours to get to airport, get checked in then relax.......hopefully sleep tonight......(yeah right) as we barely slept last night........excitement kicks in and bam.....you're wide awake!

So, safe travels to everyone else setting off on trips whether it be sooner or later..........have fun

 

[Robo56]

Schumi you and your hubby have a safe and wonderful trip......I think with a few glasses of wine you will hopefully have a good sleep tonight.

I know what you mean on the night before leaving for vacation. It is hard to sleep.

 

[tink1957]

Bon voyage Carole

See you at the darkside, I think this is the first time I will be there before you if Irma cooperates.

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels and some good sleep tonight Schumi and DH. Yeah, I have trouble sleeping before leaving day too. Oh, regardless of how old our kids are, they are still our kids. At least Kyle will be able to talk and see you both. Enjoy your NYC time with family and being a tourist. Safe flights to NYC and MCO. Very much enjoy your trip reports.

Good Morning Tink. Hope all is well, and you get to Orlando as scheduled, and see not much damage. Enjoying a cup of coffee, is good, it's cool here. 57 to start the day. But we have sun! Yes, please burn away the damp and gray start we had.

to Wags and his DW. May you have many more years together.

oh Mac, it's Thursday. Throw back a drink and hope you are feeling and healing better.


So homies:

.

For all those in Irma's path, sending prayers. I hope all are safe, and property damage at the minimum. What a huge storm.

 

[Chuckers]

I just sent a text to my UO Customer service contact asking if it would be possible to come in on Saturday and stay at CBBR and then ride out the storm at RPR Sun/Mon or would they evacuate? This is something I might be able to do if Delta will switch my flight for free/nominal cost.

Edit:Ugh.. I think CBBR is booked solid.

Edit Edit: Disney's All Star resorts have availability for $124 a night...

 

[macraven]

If you stay at Disney Saturday, how will you get to rpr Sunday with the torrential rain and wind happening?

Might be smoother to stay at UO anywhere then switch rooms Sunday with staff help

 

[Lynne G]

Did you try SF? At least it would be connected to RPR. Worst, try Porto or HRH. I'd try to stay near Universal. Drury Inn or other close may be better than at a Disney hotel.
