I like vodka. But my poison is Malibu and pineapple. I like my alcohol sweet and unnoticeable.

I could go drinking with you, I love Malibu rum and pineapple too.

Hope everyone is doing well after last weekend's weather.

Well, looks like my turn for a little bit of tropical weather....no beach this weekend, wasn't really planning on going to the beach, but I know others were for the long weekend, maybe this storm will be gone by Sunday and Monday. Hope no storms next weekend, we have a beach wedding to go to in Destin. DH will be watching college football all weekend, actually he'll start tonight, University of South Alabama is playing, its there 3rd year and they are undeafed. Definitely watching Alabama on Saturday, the quarterback (AJ McCarron) is the son of one of DH's friends (he also works at the fire dept. with DH)

Talk to yall homies later.

We always budget for our vacations ... unfortunately hubby's business year end is Aug 31st and the accountant estimates we'll most likely be paying double what we paid last year - so with personal taxes, business taxes and source deductions we're going to owe close to $30K (that's one of the downsides of having a good year)

You are waaaaay too honest

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

You are waaaaay too honest

I know ... it's one of my bad habits

I was going to cancel the trip completely but hubby said no - he needs the time away for his sanity - plus everything is already paid in full (except for our flight - which I still need to book! )

That sucks. But at least you have me to come by and cheer you up while you're down as well, lol.

My birthday wish came true!! We got power back!!! And cable, internet and phone!

finally - a banana congo line & power restored. Did u have food go bad in freezer?

Woke up & discovered my xmas present keurig had died. They already have a new one on it's way to me but it doesn't make me feel any better about drinking old instant coffee i keep on hand for one of my relatives when they visit...tastes so gross...even worse than disney coffee

Everybody have a safe holiday weekend. Keeping an eye on the weather here, may be putting kabosh on our plans to go away.

Hi all! 29 days!! Started my TR, link in my siggy!

 

[schumigirl]

We`re back .........and jet lag is just as awful as I remember it to be

But.........it was the most wonderful trip ever........planning on doing a trippie........at some point

Highlights.......

RPR......or home.....as it`s known to us by. We fell more in love with it this year, it is the most wonderful place. Everything was perfect, staff were fantastic as usual they could not do enough for you if you needed anything. We adore the atmosphere of this hotel and just won`t imagine staying anywhere else.

US/IOA..........Amazing. Loved both parks as usual but seemed to enjoy them more this year. We always have the 14 day unlimited park to park and we really made use of that. Apart from 2 days we went in either or both at some point every day, sometimes just for a few hours or till around 4. IOA we never took advantage of early entry.....we`re on holiday who wants to get up early, but did go later in the afternoon some days especially for HP as it did quieten down a fair bit the later it got.....and it`s so beautiful lit up.

TM`s........amazing as always. We found all TM to be fantastic, if we needed any kind of help or just ask a question they were always helpful and so friendly and not in a forced sweetness way.....they were very genuine. We could have spoke to some of them all day. It`s so nice to find out where people come from and their story as to why they are there.

Also when they are in character, like the Jaws and Mummy TM`s....they are so good and so enthused at what they do it really is infectious.

Meeting up with Todd (Metro West) always a pleasure and a highlight of our trips. Had a great meal at Bubbalous and a really lovely evening with him. A true gent and all round great guy.

Weather............hot....hot.....hot.......it was gorgeous. Only got soaked one night and had to walk back to RP as the boats had been stopped.......we were drenched......but it was fun. Last time we went in August we struggled the first few days with the heat, but this year we were fine, only one day I thought it hit me hard and we left the park at around midday and went off somewhere cooler. I really miss that heat now!!!!!

Food..............Wonderful as always. Discovered Longhorn Steakhouse this year, don`t know why we have never been before but it is fantastic.......knocked spots off the Outback Steakhouse. Red Lobster was gorgeous as always, and a few other places too. Did not enjoy Thunder Falls this year. This is one of our places to go for lunch but it wasn`t the same this time. Food not as good, well ribs specifically and it was cold. Staff were not the same either. Maybe it was a one off..... but disappointing.

Shopping.........Mall at Millenia was perfect as always. This is the only Mall we really go to, and got a few things but not as much for me this year as boys each got a laptop and Kyle got an Ipod touch he wanted. Got some lovely bedding.......and another discovery for me this year.......Bed Bath and Beyond.......great store, could have came home with sooooo much stuff, got some clothes and bits and bobs from Yankee Candle, Macy`s and Bath and Body. Also Wal-Mart.......don`t laugh......we love strolling around these stores as they are so much bigger than what we have and a much better selection of products. Who knew you can get Strawberry, Blueberry and Pineapple Philadelphia cream cheese We don`t get those flavours here. We also don`t get Bud Light Lime so had to buy a few of those

No real lows at all......apart from coming home as always It was so sad to leave the parks and hotel for the last time........(Todd...if you`re reading this you guessed it.......I cried )

So had the best time ever, did not want to leave at all......but I know we are going back next year, so that made it slightly easier to leave. As soon as Tom knows his holiday schedule for next year we will get the hotel booked up again

So I gather it`s a holiday weekend in the States........have a good one

 

[RAPstar]

Sounds like a great trip! Glad you had fun!!
