Let’s see if I can multi quote today without messing up!
Yes the hurricane is very disturbing...
I was to drive down to Ocala that Monday and now don't think that is a go for me.
I don't know what will happen to those that are flying in during that time period. (Monday)
I am hopeful Schumi will not have any issues for Sept 3.
Yeah good plan to stay off the roads Monday, Hope you stay safe.
doing a quick stop in
I love hearing about your feathered friends. They hzve such amazing personalities,
Now I need to bake. Tomorrow night I'll pop a couple of banana loaves into the oven. I have some perfect bananas on the counter that will make it just perfect
Sooooo Cute.
I love new clean sheets!!! I love crawling into bed with those new, clean sheets!!!! That is probably one of the best things in the world.
Had a quiet day at work today. Put on
youtube videos on Disney and Universal and shredded paper!!!! Such a hard day lol.
We had to pick up some things tonight for the weekend. It is moving day at the lake lot. It has sold. So we have to get our holiday trailer road worthy again. It has not rolled a wheel for 8 years. We just parked it out at the lake lot and slept and showered in it. So we went to get the rest of the things the hubby needs to do some work on it. But once this part is done, we may actually get to pull it to a lake next summer and actually camp in it again!!!
We decided on some fine dining tonight and went to Costco for supper
Gotta love how cheap it is. Supper for three of us tonight for less than 15.00!!!!
I hope everyone in the path of the hurricane prepare and stay safe. I can't even imagine how scary it must be. I hope those of you who have travel plans, are not disrupted too much. I'll be sending many positive thoughts!!!!
I guess packing up & leaving the lake house will be hard on you guys. But I see you’re already looking forward to the next adventure!
Sounds like a tough day at work! Lol.
Gotta love Costco food! I wish they still had the Carne Asada bake!
Pumpkin, that would be something I’d choose to have as a luxury.......clean fresh sheets every single day.........perfect!! Now if I just had a housekeeper to do it for me.......
Hurricanes and weather are one thing we don’t worry about.......absolutely nothing we can do about it.......I just mentioned to someone on the trip report we were 2 days late getting to Orlando in 2017 due to Irma, had an extra 2 days in NYC because of it.........just have to go with the flow if it does. Airline is monitoring the situation.
If they delay the Sunday/Monday flight in, it’ll impact us of course.......at the minute there’s no changes, but could change anytime.......we have a full month in Orlando.......so, we’ll still get there. Won’t be checking any weather reports till the weekend, not much point until then......speaking to a friend in Orlando he said the same thing......it can change last minute.......I feel bad for people who only have a few days for their trip.
Thursday again........few bits of shopping to pick up this morning and something for the rest of my cards I need to get for September......
August has just flown past!! Actually the whole year has flown past!
Time for tea.........
Yes, I agree. I feel for the families who only have a week, and this is there vacation, due to work schedule can’t rebook for another year.
I hope you have smooth sailing, you’re right, not much you can do about the weather so go with the flow.
@schumigirl I'm surprised there are no changes as of yet. Sunday, I can understand perhaps a little as at the most the very outer bands
might be brushing up against FL, but Monday, the eye is supposed to be right next to us Monday morning, no matter where it's landing, so we'll definitely be feeling the impact of it Monday. Either way, I'm glad it doesn't seem to faze you and you'll have a great time once you get here. Besides, considering all the stories I heard of Disney resorts (I never heard many stories of Universal resorts) of what they do during a hurricane, it sounds like a lot of fun compared to being at home. If I had to be anywhere during a hurricane it would be at one of those resorts if I could afford it.
Hope you stay safe and don’t have too much house damage.
I’ve heard about the WDW resorts too, probably Universal does similar. I’d have no problem riding out a hurricane in either place. Those resorts are well built.
We were flying out of MCO during the outer bands of Katrina! It was interesting!
Morning Sans family
Hopefully it will change its trajectory and head out to sea. If it stays on its present course the cone will pass over the town where my home is. While it’s upsetting no doubt.......we can’t control the weather. I have been receiving updates from our HOA and the shutters will go up tomorrow if storm stays on it’s present heading.
You will get to Orlando for your vacation for sure......might have a slight delay. You are right others who have short vacations planned will be affected if flight delays occur.
Prayers going out for all who are in the hurricanes path.
Hyundai makes nice vehicles. I had a Santa Fe many moons ago and it was a great SUV.
Have lunch plans with sister and niece today.
Have great Thursday everyone.
So many here in the hurricane path. Time to batten down the hatches. I’m sure you’re well prepared. Stay safe! And Enjoy lunch!
Hello
I had a busy day yesterday but today is a lot slower. I am cruising the boards today and watching the news. The weather is about the same temps wise. It rained yesterday but is nice and sunny today. Liv is waiting for a friend to come by for a few hours. Most of her friends from high school are doing local colleges so she can still see them.
My friend that I visited this week lived in Daytona for over 20 years. She is not happy that we are moving next year she is going to miss us. We are one of her closest friends. She was texting me last night about the storm going to Florida. She finds any little thing to get me to think about not going
i know she means well.
It is weird to think about next year this could be me waiting to see if a hurricane is going to hit. I am watching how things go down there. It wouldn't change my mind but would make me think about what type of house I want.
Mac, Charade, Tink, Monykalyn, Squirlz, Pumpkin, Sue and the rest of the family. I hope everyone has a good day!
That’s nice for Liv that her friends are still around. It’s common to stay here for post secondary. We have 2 excellent universities and quite few very good colleges.
I feel your friends pain! My dearest friend is going to move probably next year. It will be a 3-4 hr drive away. We just live around the block from each other and have been friends (more like sisters) for over 30 yrs. We see each other daily. Go out walking almost every evening. Among other things. It’s going to be a big adjustment.
@bobbie68 You'll get used to it once you live here. If she's lived in Daytona for 20 years she probably had seen a lot and I don't mean just storms. We're actually going to evacuate not that far (only 10 minutes away from our house
) and stay in a hotel like we have been the past couple of years. If there is ever an evacuation in our county, the first to go is our area. We're mainly going to have a more probability to either not lose power, or if we do, have it restored rather quickly, especially since I'll probably be considered to still work. As for staying on Disney, I only say that, because either way you're stuck with people (whether at a resort, or at home), so at least at a resort you're more likely to be entertained since when a hurricane comes through they increase the amount of activities and things to do on site.
Are you evacuating to WDW? That’s what I’d do! Or Universal. I’d feel quite safe at either.
bobbie, we were at RP when there was a tropical storm and they advised everyone to stay in the hotel, might have been 2012 or thereabouts.......and they also were brilliant with entertaining kiddies and so on.......it wouldn’t worry me being there again.
Been a busy day........not exactly sure doing what......but we got a lot done! Love days like that where you just feel all your hard work was worth it. And all the books for the book group arrived today instead of tomorrow......not bad service.
Dinner was home made general tso chicken.......I spiced ours up separately as Kyle doesn’t like it too spicy.....but it was lovely.....made some coconut ice cream and baked a Madeira cake, almost like pound cake, whipped up some meringue and made mini Baked Alaska for each of us......delicious. Although Kyle’s had shop bought chocolate as I didn’t make two ice creams.
We are very full.
Off for a cup of tea........tomorrow I have leg waxing and Saturday is hair appointment.........it really needs a cut and colour too!!
We were staying at HRH during Tropical Storm Fay. I was so dissapointed I never got to enjoy the pool or outdoor areas. Rain never stopped, the system stalled over Orlando. No one could operate the lockers in the parks. Everyone’s fingers were water logged!
Wow, that’s impressive! Made icecream, cake, baked Alaska, impressive! Do you have an icecream maker? Every so often I look at them, then ask myself where am I going to put it lol.
I’ve booked my pre trip appts too! Haircut, sparkle touch up, nails..
Monyk, I happen to like and have Cardinal bobble heads from when they first came out.....
I keep them in a curio cabinet so I can always see them.
Since my preferred AP started back in 1993, it has the old, original numbers on the pass, with my picture on it.
It is a hard plastic pass and nothing has faded on it for the 2 scanning sections
With the last system change few years back, I can not get into the AP website.
I always have to call to get ap info as can't get into the site by going online.
Hope you don't have to move mountains to get the motherland to work with you to switch those tickets to what will scan at the gate.
Is there a separate AP web site? Other than the main website with the links on top for Annual Passholders?
Monykalyn always entertaining hearing about the chickens. Funny the new ones are so bratty! Hope the meds help your older one.
Every time we have chicken for dinner I feel guilty!
I love fresh sheets too, but not changing the bed daily! Pity, cause it’s so enjoyable!
Today was busy. Had massage therapist appt. this morning. It’s really a pain getting around town, and she’s in the next town over. So much road work no matter what direction you go. I don’t ever remember it being this bad before.
After appt on the way back I passed by a Winners (TJ Max in the states), but didn’t find anything.
There happened to be a Wendy’s across the street. My fast food guilty pleasure so I got a burger and my fav, a chocolate frosty, mmmmmm!
Then stopped by church to fold bulletins for Sunday.
Mr made tacos for dinner! And I made the salad.
Tomorrow spending the morning in the office filling in. Our secretary I’ve been told will be off a long time. I hope we hire a temp soon. I’m glad it’s a long weekend. 3 free days!
Keishashadow when do you return from DL? I was just there but seems like long ago! So strange.
Lynne, belated Happy Birthday to your little one
16 days to go, almost time to pack!
The book club sounds like it is going to be a good one.
.
Oh boy. I think the sis in law and MiL know how to “do Disney” but I suspect they might be in for a bit of rude awakening,..they are going end of October.
