Hi, Homies! Just thought I'd pop in for a minute. I can't keep my eyes open, so I'm taking a very late nap. If I sleep too long, I'll be playing Uno with Mac tonight. ;)
 
You better watch out.If you fall asleep playing uno with mac,she will win everytime:rotfl: (so I've heard)
 
Where is Mac btw?? Oh... where are you, mac??? :magnify:
Maybe she's getting her school supplies together? :confused3
 
Well homies,its not looking good for the westcoast of Florida..

Going to batten down the hatches,buy gas for the generator and a good supply of ice and BEER......We got more can food then the local Salvation Army..Were good there..The only thing that scares me is the tornado threats..

Keep all us here in your prayers.And lets hope this is a rainmaker...

Got a couple of hours of daylight left to check everyting out..

donaldduck- I'll be praying for all of you in southern and central FL :angel:

Sharon- have a good trip :cool1:

Tizzy Meliss- What happened at Knoebels? Where is that in PA?
Not familiar with that theme park.


Mac must have gone back and done some deep cleaning like a good girl :laughing: :rolleyes1

Hang out in your bathroom, that's what we do when the tornado sirens go off, as we don't have a basement. Our bathroom is very small but 3 of us can fit(me and the kids). Can fit 4 of us if need be.

Ahhhh the good ol' days of waiting out Florida's weather. I lived on the eastcoast of Florida for 12 years, I know what you are going through. Will be keeping you in my thoughts hoping it is a rainmaker. :)

Tizzy Meliss- What happened at Knoebels? Where is that in PA?

Yes, its in Pa, Elysburg near the mountains. We have never been and heard it was a nice family friendly place to go. Nice and shady, up in the mountains, out of the way no one really knows about the place, food network gave the food a thumbs up, no admission price and no parking price as everything is pay as you go. Tickets are $1.00 per ride, $.70 per ride, ect, kinda like going to a fair. We figured we'd give it a try. It was supposed to be a 2 hour 15 minute drive, no problem, we got there in 2 hours, only had 4 1/2 miles to go, nice ride, until we hit traffic. I am not lying when I say this, it took us 1 hour and 30 minutes to go 4 1/2 miles. :scared1:

They only have a 1 lane road, and this place was busy, I'm talking Six Flags busy, with one lane for the entire park to enter. We sat in our car and moved 1 mile in 20 minutes. It was so bad that after the hour went by our truck was going to over heat, and there wasn't anywhere to turn around, we were stuck. When we finally pulled up the place was jammed packed. Long lines, rude consession workers, filthy bathrooms, parents with out of control kids, people with their dogs in the park as it is allowed, just a mob scene. We will most likely never return. Ever. :sad2:
 
afternoon all!! 21 more days!!!!
YAY

.... 51 more days for us :cool1:


Todd or Donald

Can either of you suggest a driving route from the Orlando airport to Daytona? It will be during the evening rush hour when we arrive. Someone told me to avoid I-4.

Let's hope the storm holds off long enough for me to land in Orlando Monday!
Unfortunately I-4 is probably your best bet .... I think you could also take 417 north but that ends up hooking up to I-4.

Keeping an eye on the storm from up here and keeping all of our Florida friends (& those who are visiting right now) in our thoughts ... :grouphug:
 
All my Florida buddies & those visiting now stay safe. I hope the storm doesn't give you much trouble.

Sharon have a good trip.

Sharon...the best bet for that time of day is...fly into Daytona! Just kidding! :rotfl:

You should probably take the 417 to I-4 which will avoid the downtown traffic and bring you out around the Lake Mary/Sanford area. You'll still have traffic but hopefully not as much.The only other way is doing the local roads and I haven't been on those to tell you what to expect.
 
Maybe you could have dinner before heading to Daytona and avoid some of the traffic?
 
Hey everyone!

We have been watching the weather every chance we get!

Went to Typhoon Lagoon today....nice, but really hot. The Olive Garden for lunch, back to the hotel and hit the pool. Then Old Town. It just started lightning so we are in for the evening.

Let's hope this thing doesn't get too bad....
 
We have arrived safely!

It is humid and raining!

We are also going to get hit by Fay! Help us! ;)

21 for Andy:yay:

61 for us:banana: :dance3:

mac should be around a month?
 
The quickest route is I-4.It dead ends in Daytona.

You can take the BeachLine to I-95 and head north.But this is way out of the way..

I-4 is a nightmare for me,all the switches and speed limits(the state troopers have no problems of giving you a gift).Once your out of the metro area of Orlando,I-4 is not that bad..

Since Todd lives here he might have a better route.I'm only in this part of the state a dozen times a year.He drives it everyday..

Keeping a eye out on the storm.You should be fine on Monday!!!

Sharon...the best bet for that time of day is...fly into Daytona! Just kidding! :rotfl:

Thanks guys, looks like we will be taking 528 east to Rt 417 north and pick up I-4 east in Sanford to Rt 92 which should bring us to Daytona Speedway. The college is right next door. Will have the GPS with us, but I don't trust it!

Maybe you could have dinner before heading to Daytona and avoid some of the traffic?

thanks Lori, thats a great idea. I think we are going to eat at Margaritaville. But it will depend on the weather. DS's friend who is going to the same college and lives in the same town as us is not leaving until Tuesday. I really doubt he and his family will make it!

You better watch out.If you fall asleep playing uno with mac,she will win everytime:rotfl: (so I've heard)

i love old town.
i don't care what anyone says about that place, i love the little shops there.

i have not been there since 2003 though.....


sharon, have a safe trip.
hope the weather and traffic is not a headache for you.

is this the first one off to college for you?

Can I come too? Or will you at least have a big margaritta for me???

Thanks Mac, so far looks like I should be ok on the flight down. Heading out when the stores open this mornin for some rain ponchos! I'm hoping they still have the banquet at the yacht club for the honor students and their parents on Tuesday night. Move in day is on Weds. Looking like a pretty wet day. :rolleyes1

A few years ago now, Embry Riddle University (where James is going) lost every single one of their planes (100+ to a tornado! They had new ones within a month!


is this the first one off to college for you?

Nope, 2nd and last. Amanda started out at UCONN, did a year there and hated it, transferred to NOVA Southestern in Fort Lauderdale for two years. Got tired of the hurricanes and is now going to our state U. Hopefully she will finish this year, but prolly not till next year, seeing as she changed her degree program twice.....:rotfl2:

Cause of the weather situation, DH does not want to drive in the opposite direction to get to Margaritaville. :sad2: Can't say that I blame him thou.
 
Looks like I'm the first up this morning so...

GOOD MONDAY MORNING EVERYONE!!!!
 
Morning all.Its Monday again:sad2:

All the kids are on the bus.This summer went by fast..

Have a great day all.
