Something About Nothing ... #12

T

I have to say, I have had the most wonderful trip so far.
The staff at Portofino, Royal Pacific and now Sapphire Falls are all fantastic.

Am I reading this correct that this a a trifecta stay, 3 hotels in all?

Didn't realize that until now.

If you have to be laid back and enjoy a hotel and not the parks, this is the place to be, onsite!

Are you going to have any issues when you drive back home?
I've done the steriods before and they usually become effective quickly.
Hope you have zero pain and enjoy the rest of your vacation

Charade......lovely picture of your daughter! Time flies.........mine has been graduated from University coming up 2 years........can’t believe where the time goes...........



Sitting with glass of red wine............large one!

Friend had dilemma and came round a little upset........spent most of the evening telling her it’ll be all right.........not sure it will be though......gave her options and possible resolutions.....and lots of hugs.

Still cold here........thank goodness for good heating!

Although, almost bedtime here.......just after 10.......will finish this glass and head up..........

Thank you for the hugs Mac, Lynne and Tink. I have been settled into room for awhile. Have my meds and heating pad on. Have a lovely view of the Lagoon.

Tink the idea for a bit of Jack sounds tempting...does a Rum sampling count Strong Water Tavern is within close striking distance. First dose of steroids in and heating pad is on. Wow that dessert sounds yummy. Your daughter sure knows how to spoil her mom. What a sweet daughter.

Thank you wagman 67. Yep, I had planned for this to be a leisure day just not this leisurely.....I have nothing to complain about really.....beautiful sunny day, beautiful room with a lovely view.....food and drink close by. I’am thankful for that for sure.

I have to say, I have had the most wonderful trip so far. The staff at Portofino, Royal Pacific and now Sapphire Falls are all fantastic.

Without a doubt Universal Resorts have the nicest most incredible staff.

Strong Water Tavern is our favourite onsite bar......even over Jake’s Bar.........lovely cocktails and strong!!

Yes. Really nice to have revisited RPR after having not stayed there for years. Have been having a nice time.

I have the first dose of steroids in. Pain is not unbearable. Will take the next dose at dinner.
Praying back will be much better in the am. Only have 2 hour drive home. By Friday I’am hoping things are much improved.

Robo........oh feel better........the back is an awful thing when it goes wrong.........but glad you’re doing ok and Sapphire Falls is a beautiful resort to be laid up in..........enjoy those cocktails......and hope your pain is as little as possible.........

Thanks Schumi. Looking forward to a visit to Strong Water. The grandchildren and I had a quick one night stay here last May before we went to PBH. We arrived late and did Pool time, but did not mooch around anywhere else.

It will be!

We have the telescope primed and ready......providing it doesn’t get cloudy.........

Nice pictures and enjoy Strong Water.......the French Berry Daiquiri I can thoroughly recommend.........

Yes, clear skies would be a special treat for a view of a blood blue moon.

I’am going to get pulled together and head over to Strong Water. Thank you for the suggestion on the cocktail. I will give the berry cocktail a try.

Sad person I am.......got excited to see Jamie Lee Curtis tweet about filming the new Halloween movie due out this October.......ignoring all the movies in between the first movies and this one........looking forward to it.............love the Halloween movies.......Michael Myers is the best!

 

[Charade67]

Thank you charade. What a cutie. Yep, they grow up before you know it.

Charade
What a cutie!!

Charade......lovely picture of your daughter! Time flies.........mine has been graduated from University coming up 2 years........can’t believe where the time goes...........

Thank you Robo, Macraven, and Schumi.

So tiny and really long thick hair for a 4 yo

This is what it looks like now.

 

[macraven]

Absolutely gorgeous head of hair !

And I’m sure it tangles and hard to comb out after a shampoo

Aren’t your glad that’s one job you do not have to do anymore

I don’t t remember but my mom would tell me the story of how she got tired to comb my long hair out after a shampoo

I was just a kid about 4-5 at the time

Guess I screamed ouch once too many times so she grabbed the scissors and gave me a pixie cut
Lol

Yeah...I like him as well, especially in Austin Powers and So I Married an Axe Murderer......yeah, you know I am kiddin', but it is kinda ironic that guy named Mike Myers, would star in a movie containing a serial Axe murderer...maybe it is just me.

When she was little it was really straight, so not as difficult to deal with. She did have a bob cut once when she was 5. She found a pair of scissors and decided to give herself a haircut. I had to take her to a salon and have them fix it as best as they could. I was very upset, but of course I took pictures.

 

[Robo56]

Schumi does like her man Mikey

 

[Robo56]

Wow, daughters hair is pretty charade.

 

[Robo56]

Generous pour on drinks at Strong Water. Berry cocktail was good.

hope you are feeling better now Robo!

 

[Monykalyn]

Looks good Robo!
Charade-pretty hair on your girl. and yep-Senior year will fly by too. It seems we were just talking about graduation announcements for my oldest and now she in 2nd year of college! Problem is-time sped up for me her sophomore year-starting college visits, getting ACT etc. Middle is going through this now and is scheduling this week for her junior year of high school .

Car was frosty this am-had to park it outside as garage full of "blankets" the chocolate gets shipped in when weather is warm-tucked in with dry ice these thermal blanket type things really help keep chocolate from being stressed/melted. DH picked 10 or 12 up from our big client and we are still waiting on labels to send them back. Looks like a big gray monster taking up part of a garage stall-but they are worth$8 each to send back (and not throw away so they can be reused).

Saw The Greatest Showman (in comfy theater! fab drinks/food) last night. O M G!! Think I am gonna take DS and DH this weekend to see again-listened to soundtrack over and over today. Truly didn't expect to like it as much as I did!

Snow keeps going in/out of forecast for Thursday...I am off thankfully. But all day swim meet Friday (volunteering for this one).

Had to stop by Sam's Club to order more contacts for middle kid, so picked up some sushi for dinner-our club makes surprisingly good sushi. Son was so happy he literally did a butt wiggling happy dance while he ate. He used to do that when he was little, now he does it to make me laugh.

Tired tonight-off to bed. Maybe if I wake up at 2 I'll say hi to sweet baby Charlie
