Something About Nothing ... #12

[Robo56]

Lynne I feel your pain. I have a sinus infection. It's that time of year for colds and sinus infections flu etc.... Yuk
Hope you feel fetter soon.

Jenrose66 hope you and your family get well soon. Not very easy when your sick and then you have to care for everyone else when you feel so bad.

Morning Mac on my first cup of coffee I think I'am going to need a few to get me going this morning.

 

[macraven]

and now i am off for the day.
one of my another travels in the area.

back later for dinner or late lunch

 

[Robo56]

Trying to finish up some ideas for vacation with the grandchildern. We are heading to Universal in a few weeks. Thinking about doing Discovery Cove. We have never been there

Shout out to Schumi hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Unusual not to see you here.

Morning Kivara

Ha. Mac on a road trip. Safe travels on your roaming Mac.

Robo, while expensive, we're heading back to Discovery Cove for the third time in December. We really enjoyed our days there. Once, at the end of August, for DD's birthday, and once for Christmas Day, 3 years ago. Lucky kids! Time with grams, awesome.

And to Keisha. Just dropped my car rental for October by 80 dollars today. Thanks for the codes. Did not work for December, but I am a lurker, and I keep trying. So far, the airfare is not as good as first day booking. Still makes me mad that SW reduced the number of direct flights to 3 from 6. Umm, I am not more than doubling the time to stop somewhere. We're about 2 and 1/2 hours direct, and even one stop adds over 3 hours. Making the kids get up before the crack of dawn for December.

Morning Kivara

it's amazing! akin to entering another world. Such a well designed tropical paradise. Hard to believe you're across street from Sea World. We've enjoyed many times. This year picked up the BOGO free Sea World/Aquatica APs on black friday. we haven't activated yet but considering just going to DC for the non-dolphin experience. Not sure how we will feel about not hanging onto a fin but willing to try it.

lynne - yea! bonus points for rousting the kids pre dawn

Oh my goodness, so many sickies here no, scratch that, don't want to catch your cooties. lots of fluids and may the swartz be with you.

mac - happy trails

Dr...Who? It's my understanding that Universal possibly has some sort of 'rights/tie in' to the Dr. franchise. If true, why oh why have they not incorporated it into the Orlando park...other than the nod to weeping angels (that aren't known as weeping angels) in the HHN house each year that is.

off to tackle my sauce and meatballs, looking foward to my kids invading later. Love how the house comes alive when all are here.

Hi Robo...........thanks for the shout out........still here.......just had busy few days.........nice you have a trip planned soon.......


Hope all with colds and such feel better.........and keep it to yourself.......some things don't need sharing

Janet must send you a link to my new "fancy" sandals...........lol........you'll love them!!!


Rain, rain and more rain here........

But 5 weeks till NY Even had to do some planning

Booked our tickets for Wicked, Rockefeller Centre for sunset and One World Trade.........that is one high building!! And Windows all the way to the floor on the observation deck........... My vertigo and clammy hands will be in overdrive.......lol......but worth it......didn't get to go up the new building last time we were there in 2014, they had just opened it and Obama was there so we figured we'd get nowhere near it.

But hate having to pick a time........as most of you know I'm not a planner!!! I like my vacations to be a big surprise to me too......I hear some folks plan every day!!!

Empire State Building we'll wing that one again..........looking to do a boat tour around Manhattan during the day this time........and maybe walk across the bridge at night.......but, we'll see......

Am I turning into a planner..........

 

[Kivara]

Interesting Keisha...I know Universal likes to keep things under wraps, but Doctor Who has such a large fan-base, if they do have access to use it they should! Like Potter, I know people who would go just to see a well-themed Whovian empire...although, at night, seeing Weeping Angels...EEK!

Hope everyone starts feeling better soon! We had a bout of bronchial-type icky-ness around here, thankfully it's clearing up!

Still counting down the days to our trip, but I think most of our ducks are in a row! Trying to come up with some fun themed dinners to add a little more pre-trip excitement. Might have to make more butterbeer cake, YUM! DS's Monster Book came out cute too (big family, I always make 2 cakes)

 

[tinydancer09]

I must be so out of the loop; I had no idea any place did tours! I'm definitely asking for the Immigrant Tour at MIB...how's the Mummy tour?

And if I see a TARDIS, I want Chris Eccleston...loved his sass and witty comments1

They do a mummy tour!? I had no idea. I did the twister tour right before she blew out of town.

 

[RAPstar]

Big news. I've been feeling like a jerk for pushing back my move to Seattle. So I'm going there instead of Orlando!

 

[macraven]

Are saying Orlando vacation now cancelled?

Well then, happy moving day to Seattle!

 

[schumigirl]

Vacation cancelled?? But moving to Seattle sounds like a good choice Robbie.........good for you........I'm sure your other half will be over the moon.........

Orlando ain't going anywhere............

 

[Lynne G]

Nice Robbie, going with the heart is always the best choice. Vacations can be when ever you want them to be. And planes do go from Seattle to Orlando. Or better yet, you'll be closer to DL and Hollywood.

 

[schumigirl]

Sad to see David Gest has died.........he was funny on shows like I'm a celebrity get me out of here, and more recently Zlist celeb BB..........didn't think I would like him at all, but he was funny and we did kinda like him.

Only 62.

 

[Lynne G]

Schumi, wasn't he married to Ms. Liza at one time? He was a funny guy. Sorry to see die so young. It will be in our news tonight I am sure.

 

[schumigirl]

He was Lynne........broke about 4 hours ago here.......surprised it wasn't on the CB threads........he was due to start a tour over here called "I'm not dead" or similar...........very ironic.

He left the BB house early apparently this year due to ill health........ironically when Angie Bowie announced David (Bowie) had died one of the housemates thought she meant David Gest.........it was very funny in a morbid sense afterwards..........he was in the bedroom sleeping at the time!

Been seeing rumours over here Liza M is not at all well.......surprised David died before her.

 

[RAPstar]

I'm not moving yet, just going out there for the week instead of Orlando. So still a vacation sorta lol

 

[Lynne G]

Robo, don't know if you are following or reading Gina's pre-report on Universal, but she has an free extra Universal ticket that expires end of May. If you are interested, let her know. Maybe you need one for the grand trip coming up?

 

[schumigirl]

Oh......read it wrong........lol........you'll have a lovely time anyway........course it's a vacation.........



Our village is swathed in fog tonight.........very creepy.........but so cold! Foghorns are going off tonight too.........will be clear by morning hopefully........

Interesting thread on CB about "following" on the dis...........

Love the Empire State Building!

 

[macraven]

Love the Empire State Building!

i'm so glad you came to visit and stay with us.

empire state building is way too tall for me to do.
i'm a wimp with heights.

did the tall builidings in downtown chicago and just leaned against the wall waiting for family to get done looking out the windows....
