Something About Nothing............ #14

Yes, a very happy thanksgiving to Sue and all the Canadian homies.

Good morning everyone. I’m at IOA today. I’ve already ridden 2 rides and done a little window shopping. I don’t want to venture too far into the park just yet because I am meeting Mac in Citywalk at 11:00.

 

[Lynne G]

Enjoy the parks and somewhere where you’ll get lunch today Charade.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. My short vacation has come to an end. I leave tomorrow morning. Today I got to meet Mac, Keisha, and Disxuni. I also had dinner with Bobbie. I rode Hagrid’s motorbike for the first time. It was fun, but it is also at the top of my roller coaster comfort zone. I also rode the Jurassic Park water ride for the first time. I don’t know why I’ve never ridden that one before.

Glad you`ve had such a lovely time Charade.......and happy you enjoyed Hagrid`s, it`s an amazing coaster and JP is a classic, but I do wish the drop was steeper.

Have a safe flight home and look forward to reading the rest of your TR when you update it.....

Nice lunch!

lol......nice picture!! Good to hear you`ve both been having so much fun........





I think yesterday was one of our quietest days ever. We did get a good haul of clothes for everyone in the morning with only visiting a couple of places which was ideal, and stores weren`t too busy, but I did see more Christmas items are being laid out now. Yes, far too early even for me, but it does look nice to see it.

After that the day disappeared but we have no idea what we did. Beef in ale was beautiful, slow cooking for hours is the only way to do it, went with some creamy mash and roasted carrots to mop up the gorgeous gravy.....empty plates all round.

Today, back walking this morning, weather looks to be cool, but dry with some sunshine, that`ll work. No idea for food tonight yet, but breakfast muffins and tea before we head out today. I thought I had a hair appointment this afternoon but it`s tomorrow, cut and blow dry between highights and it needs it, it`s growing so long very quickly.

Have a wonderful Monday

I’ve loved hearing from both of you while you’ve been there and you both certainly have had fun!

Sleep well…….




Sun is up now and time to head out…….

 

[macraven]

Hahaha
By the time I do get to sleep it will be when the sun comes up…

I can never get to sleep for hours well after I leave the park after a night of hhn…

 

[Charade67]

I’m all packed and ready to go. It’s been a fun couple of days, but now I have to return to the real world.

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels, Charade. Was very nice to meet up with you, and enjoyed that meal we had.



Yeah, already back to weekday routine. Yep, that certainly feeling bleh Monday. But hey, after a cool week here, yesterday was 85, today, 80. Yay to not having to quite yet out those shorts away for another day. Rain expected later in the day, but for now, overcast sunrise.

Yay, for Mac and Keisha having some HHN fun. Hope you got to sleep Mac.

Schumi, yay for morning tea. Me too, as well as haircut tomorrow. I’m ready to be pampered after all that hot and humid, sunny time.

And so, it’s that ooh bought donuts and pastry yesterday, hoping done is left for breakfast time. And more tea.

Marvelous Monday homies.

And yay for a day shorter week day routine this week.

 

[keishashadow]

After that the day disappeared but we have no idea what we did.

Sounds like my idea of a good day at home

Morning all first day of trip I’ve slept to 9:30 am. So late for me, too much vacation. Ima lightweight

2nd day pool closed at SF. Yesterday due to guest “breaking glass jar of honey in it”. Today, “chemical imbalance”. I’ve given up the ghost lol

I’ve always touted the property in the past, if FOTL would be among our top picks here. Love the vibe & design

Messy checkin process Saturday. unfortunately, discovered my Room had multiple mechanical issues.it should never have been put into service in the first place IMO

once I did speak to right person in management yesterday late afternoon, they hopped to making things right. A lovely lady, very gracious & apologetic about things, restored my confidence enough to keep our planned end of month trip in place here.

Have already received follow up contact today inquiring as to my satisfaction too

& that is why we will continue to patronize Loews properties. You will encounter a few bumps, if not mountains lol, in road when traveling. It’s all about how they eventually respond to smooth your path!

Nice to head home tomorrow on a happy note.

 

[Lynne G]

A-shame that pool was not open, and room had issues Keisha. Other then being next to the elevators, and heard road noise in my paid more upgraded view, that had I known that room, I would have saved money and just booked standard. Lesson learned next time I book SF. And yeah, I do like the size of the rooms and the resort decor, including the bar. Safe travels tomorrow.

Ack, is it lunchtime yet?

And just like that I blinked...and it was Monday The weekend just flew by.

Busy weekend puttering/cooking in the house most of the weekend. It was a cool, extremely windy weekend. My hunters came home empty handed. They found a couple of areas that are promising to bring home some big game. Even though they came home empty handed, they love going out together. It's one of "their" things to do. Not my idea of spending the day . I'll stay inside and whip up a warm yummy body warming meal for when they return.

I was able to drop off a few meals for my friend and her husband. They definitely appreciated it. I'll see if there is another one or two I can whip up as a freezer meal for her to put into her crockpot to cook all day.

It was great to read all the trip updates in here from everyone!!!!! It sounds like everyone is/was having a great time. I can't wait to hear/read some more trip reports!

Well, I should start shuffling some papers.

Have a great day everyone...stay safe!!!!!

 

[Lynne G]

Pumpkin, oh well, no game food to cook after their hunting trip. I’m with you, like to be where warm. Yeah, weekends fly by, that’s for sure. Hope all are doing well, and nice of you to drop off meals.

With only little one and me for lunch, soup it was. And picked up challah bread yesterday too, so with real butter on that bread, goes great with dipping it into the soup. Full now.

Thinking if rain holds off, burgers on grill for dinner. Picked up some ground beef on our kitchen stocking run yesterday.

 

[macraven]

Janet and I are stuffing our faces on park food now

Healthy eating begins when trip is over and back to cooking at home

 

[keishashadow]

Only took one hour & 20 minutes for mobile order at Simpsons Good thing it was crowded lol

 

[Lynne G]

Gosh, Keisha, I stood in line, paid cash and was eating in less than 10 minutes when I ate there. At least you were inside where AC was sort of felt on. Glad you are enjoying last full day there. I eat there once in a trip. Just chicken and tots. The chicken thumbs are usually plenty, never remember to ask for kid’s meal, and tots are usually hot in temp. And while those flaming moe drinks look good, I just get glasses of ice water.

Eh, that mid afternoon drag. Sigh.

 

[soniam]

@keishashadow Sorry to hear about your room and pool. At least the room got fixed.

I like the coconut shrimp at Fastfood Blvd.

I arrive this Thursday and will be there through Monday, 10/11. Just a long weekend trip unfortunately. If you see me, say hi You can also PM me, but I don't see those until I check my email.

 

[Charade67]

Just got home. Will post later.
