Something About Nothing..........# 9

[minniejack]

WOOHOO. Just booked an impromptu trip to Disney for 9-10 thru 9-15. Our friends have been hounding us to show them and their kids around Disney since they have never been. Yesterday we got an offer to stay here for $33/ night. Dana just came back and told me to book the trip. She didn't have to tell me twice!!

Wyndam Star Island

I just want too say to all the homies living in Irene's path,PLEASE take actoin now to protect family and property.This hurricane is going to hit HARD when it travels through the Outer Banks and the mid-atlantic states.

Nothing but thoughts and prayers for the people this will effect!!!

Ok so I broke the bank and am leaving two days early for our trip to WDW !!

WE are staying at the Beach Club for the extra two days but will not have the dining plan or tickets to the park but we will enjoy great times at the pool !!!

Looking forward to the escape but am very sad to leave my DH and other kids home for a week even more now that the storm is approaching !!

Hope everyone is safe and sound for the remainder of Irene !!

Will post a report upon our return !!

Thanks Donald...we are getting ready. Patio furniture is secure, grill is secure, going to head to the grocery tomorrow. We live here: (see dark line)

So it will be quite windy here and probably have some nasty storms. Hurricane Fran (1996) just destroyed our area. So we will be prepared this time!

awesome deal ... ... and glad you are able to cancel up to 3 days before you arrive with no penalty! I had visions of another Robbie room deal gone bad

So they have begun the evacuations on a few of our barrier islands here. They are now asking people to consider leaving the south shore areas on Long Island.

I got a message on my answering machine that my area should start seeking out more inland shelter.....went from exciting to actually scary in just a few moments.

We are in the "extreme"...

CoasterMom - glad you are getting out early!

This is all getting pretty insane. I just heard on a weather station what a category 2 will be like on a building higher than 25 floors. At that height it will be measured as a category 3. It hasn't hit NYC at that level since 1893. With luck it will slide East and be just a reminder of how powerful Mother Nature is. My relatives in Homestead got a big dose of reality when they got slammed by Andrew.

I wish all of those in the path of this thing the best thoughts and hope I can give.

that storm is bad.

don't know where everyone will go that are on the east coast when they are told to evacuate.

one of my sons is to fly back into reagan on sunday.
don't know what will happen to that at this point.

Hmmmm....you know...I just did a little research on TA. I'm thinking I may have to take a look at other accomodations. Sheesh! The only thing that would make me feel worse right now was if I was wearing Sex Panther.

He won't get out Sunday. He needs to either leave early or stay put later.

They are already canceling trains for the weekend and such.

NJ shores are being evac'd. Can I just say I'm glad to live on a mountain...even tho we'll get wind and rain...not on the coast...whew!

No, I don't think we will have to leave...we will move the cars up North though. Some businesses have boarded up their windows....its getting very eerie right now because the weather is so calm.

Going to go move some of the porch furniture and secure some things down.

Catch you all later!

i
d like to think i missed something. I did see the hidden mickey in he electrical socket aboard ur sweeeet ride. cool tent camping is a ton of fun, but my back doesn't miss it a bit.

don't be afraid of priceline in Orlando,especially if bidding on the resorts as it's really easy to use the zones/info on betterbidding to narrow down & rebid. I'm happy w/my score @ Hyatt Grand Cypress, would've been good with any of them including the DTD hilton for price i paid. Confess it did take me several hours to figure out the methodology but plan on doing it again in the future when I can't get right DVC accommodations.

marci congrats on all the good newsMy youngests was deposited yesterday. Found out yesterday I have to provide copies of dental xrays to army & possible DNA sample. IMO no need since he's just taking a military science class vs full ROTC commitment for scholarship.

middle DS was thrilled to go for training to the beach on Wednesday, now he can't wait to leave Deleware on Sunday w/the storm heading north & all.

good weekend all
