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

Went back to sleep and slept until just after 10:00. I really needed that. I think I will stay home today and take it easy. I have some laundry to do but nothing else is important. I picked out the clothes I want to take on my trip and put them aside. I wasn't going to buy another Scooby Doo shirt, but found this one and had to have it.

I’am pretty much done decorating for Halloween.
It all looks fantastic.

I did finally settle get a rental car for the trip.
I seem to be the only one here who doesn't rent a car. I never leave the resort or parks when I go, so have never needed one.

put my time to work after Charade's post jogged my mind.

finally, a small drop of $10 a night for us. little victory will buy the mr a beer each night = man math
Every little bit helps. I check the rates every morning.

that's a low rate & deposit, i'd jump on it as it's flexible rate
I booked my hotel for my January 2026 trip back in January before I was even certain we were going. I found Helios for $227. I figured I would never see a price that low again and I had plenty of time to cancel if the trip didn't happen.

Two weeks from right now I should be boarding a plane in Charlotte on my way to Orlando.
 
Rentals are crazy priced right now. But I do believe in doing that rinse and repeat until a lowest rate I see, until the day I leave or the day before. Still kills me almost half of the rate is taxes and fees. But I tend to stick to Alamo in Orlando, and seem to be sitting at a lowest one I got a week or so ago, as once again to be trending higher lately again.

Glorious sunshine yesterday and today. I think little one wants to go to that further away outlet today, as they have a Disney outlet there. But last time we went to that store out there, we walked out with nothing. With that store in particular, we either see quite a few things or nothing. We will also hit those stores during our trip, probably the one closer to Universal. They also get the same results as our local one.

Woot! This week, our evening arrival. Little one and I are stoked to have found the rate and switch hotels 8 days out, at our first part of trip mouse stay. Also got the difference between the killer great rate I got for RP in December last year, and the recent good rate at HRH, down enough, I think I will most likely cancel my RP rate. Thankfully, I will keep checking this week hoping for a further HRH drop.

Talk about shopping. We had breakfast out yesterday at our favorite diner, then, since was half way between our home and that shopping area in the far flung suburb where farms around it, we decided to drive further and did quite that shopping spree. Besides other buys, bought a perfect colored carry on bag that you can slide over the handle of luggage, and at a nice discount. Love it, as has lots of pockets and some have zippers. Seems to be well made. Will be nice to toss in the overhead, and push my smaller sized backpack under the seat.

Maybe more shopping today. Have to see if little one is ready. I’m always up early no matter which day of the week it is. Tends to also be during my vacation days too. Though with our late nights planned on consecutive nights,, this trip, I may be a later morning riser a few days. Are we getting excited? Yep.

Super Happy Saturday and hope all are having a Wonderful Weekend. Good morning. ☀️
