Something About Nothing ... #12

[Chuckers]

Did I post this yet? Our Key West trip is on! Arriving Friday for 12 nights. It was touch and go there for awhile. Key West got so lucky. I seriously believe in Sister Gabriel's Grotto and I'm not religious.

Have a great time. I love Key West, I've been there 5 times. One of my favorite things to do is rent a scooter and just ride around the island for hours. I don't have to go anywhere specific. I just ride. It's impossible to get lost and it's the best
way to get a tan! One of the few vacations I would do again that doesn't involve a roller coaster!

I forgot to reset my alarm this morning for 6 am ...woke up at 7:12 and had to get ready in record time but made it to work at 8 only 2 minutes late. It takes me 30 minutes to drive to work. The only thing I forgot about was my phone on the bed. I kept reaching for it all day.

Ugh.. if I don't have my phone it's like I left a vital organ on the subway. I am SO lost without my phone.. Sad that we/I depend on a stupid piece of electronics now...

But I can bring a note from
My mom for an excuse

Have not had sufficient sleep since Thursday

Yup another medical problem snuck up on me and started meds

I was useless Saturday and Friday finished packing at a late hour

Meet up with some at the hotel
Saw carole and Tom then met vu tran and his gf also at the hotel

Went to the park and spent time with Pax, Marco, Dora and Keith

Houses and bill and Ted show with Disney Ron and his daughter

Then met Robbie and her sis

Just wanted to give a short out to those I was able to meet and hang out with yesterday

Left the park early as it was a struggle wearing the boot for broken foot


Back in room
and chilled rest of evening

Now i get to start the fun again today

Mac, hope you are feeling better and foot not holding you back. Great you got to meet up with some Disers.

Pooh, Congratulations! So nice to hear good, happy news.

Almost done AK, may go back to room, or right to HS. Decisions. At least not as hot and wind seems to suggest rain. But, sun out now after a cloudy morning.

So sad to hear about the tragedy in Vegas my thoughts and prayers are with all who are affected.

I didn't say I *would* pet her.. I just want to pet her
Did you do Pandora? If so, how was it?

Afternoon all...busy weekend after HHN Friday night. Had some rain during the event so I left...I didn't want to spend $6 for a plastic poncho when I have two a home. Carole and Tom did not come over due to the rain so I didn't see them again before they crossed the pond. I'll go back to HHN Friday night but no S & S any more.

Did you do Pandora? If so, how was it?

Pandora is really neat. Lots of beautiful scenery to look at, entertainment, and Satu'li Canteen has some of (if not the best) quick service food at Disney. And Flight of Passage is really good.

Busy baking off 28 large potatoes-making a baked potato bar for my meeting dinner tonight. + lemon bars. Could easily take a nap instead.

If anyone will be at Mouse's Halloween party Thursday-my DD will be there with her Malificient horns on-she is 6'2" tall, and I just shipped her 1 inch wedge heal boots so she will literally be heads taller than most people. glad she decided to go as it is her Bday and the last CM discount party- so say "hi"!

Yes, we did Pandora and it was great, ate at the canteen which has one of the best quick service places on property and rode both rides. We got stuck on avatar right before the end and we got to ride again...it was awesome.

 

[Chuckers]

I think when I go to UO in January, I am going to have to do a multi park ticket for my one day at Disney so I can do Pandora... I should see if I can hit all 4 parks in one day.. Pandora/Everest in AK, RNRC in HS, TestTrack in Epcot and then everything in the Magic Kingdom...

 

[tink1957]

We did 3 parks on our last day...could have done 4. I kind of wish we had since we missed seeing Pandora at night.

Had a great day at islands with Robbie and Tryna today

We did repeat rides on some of them

Tomorrow we attack the Studios

Think Janet and Lynne arrive on Thursday

The more the merrier!

Taking am off to hit pool or waterpark. Then MNSSHP.

 

[macraven]

I hope all of you are having fun on your trips. Nice to hear about the meet-ups.

Pooh...great news that is (riffing off their shirts).

Mac is back on the attack...awesome. Hope you hold up and continue to get stronger.

Didn't post my Saturday morning Friday night football catch-up, because I had company and we made a day of it...finished with a Preds game and had a great time. Pretty sure they are wanting to move to our neck of the woods, so wanted to show them a good time.

So, back to Friday...it was homecoming and we were expected to win, and did...53-14. Youngest son did not get the start, because the senior was back (good news), but they split time, about 50-50, so he got plenty of playing time. He got more playing time on defense than normal, because of the blowout. The oldest got to experience the 'Alumni Tent', as he graduated last year. He and a bunch of previous football players (from many different years) hung out at the fence area and started calling themselves the 'Wall of Legends'...too funny.

But the biggest part of the night was their cousin was the Homecoming Queen, so we were there hours before getting pictures with the whole family...with everyone except the one that is still her schoolmate...but he had the game to prepare for, so he is excused. My wife said she just kept seeing Elsa...so all of you WDW fans can kinda figure how she looked...beautiful. Not a soft guy, but kinda had a bit of a dad (without being dad) moment.

The kicker is she loved it all, but probably couldn't wait to get into some sweat pants later...I truly don't think she knows how pretty she is...or cares. She's just good people.
