Hi, Y'all !
Haven't been around much for a while, only the occasional drop in. Just got word this weekend that our 2011 trip to Vegas, Grand Canyon, etc. has been kaboshed.

DD17, our special needs daughter, is now refusing to go. Can't leave her home, so we had to cancel.
Right. . . . . here's the most excellent news, though, she said she wants to go back to Florida . . . specifically Hard Rock and Universal.


If we can mirror our 2008 trip, we think she can handle it. She got out her park maps and posters, and her hotel room pics and put them back up in her bedroom. She said that we MUST have the same room as before at HRH. . . . yikes, hope I can manage that. She will obviously be 3 years older than last time we went, and while she has made some improvements, her autistic tendencies seem to get worse as she ages. She is so unable to handle stress and change and absolutely must stick with her schedule and routine. . . no variables unless we know waaaay in advance and plan for it.
Sorry I got off on that tangent, just came by to share my bad then really good news about 2011 vacation.
Guess I'll be spending some more time around here again. . . if I can find that time these days. Been out of the loop for a while and going to need lots of updated information. I'll probably just creep around and read for a while (that sound creepy and weird, doesn't it

).
Looking forward to reacquainting with everyone.
