Hi there! No tag here and I'm almost to 1000 posts!
Just kidding.
However, we all remain hopeful and in the meantime we have a whole lot of fun on this thread!!
We're flying into Manchester, NH because it was $60 less per ticket than Boston. We will be staying in Danvers, but most of the trip is dedicated to Salem. We have one day in Boston planned as well as a short trip over to Concord to see Ralph Waldo Emerson's house and grave as well as the battleground. This will be our first Revolutionary War battleground. We've been to several Civil War battlefields. We may also take a short trip up to Maine since neither my sister or I have ever been to Maine. In fact we've never been to NH, MA, or ME. So we will both get to cross off 3 more states of our lists. Its going to be very busy, but I'm sure it will be lots of fun.
While in Boston we are going to do the Freedom Trail, which I'm very excited about. I've always wanted to go to to Boston and Salem, so I'm really looking forward to this trip. We had thought about going to WDW, but none of our friends wanted to go so we changed it to Salem/Boston. I'm hoping the weather will be nice and the leaves will have changed some. I love autumn! I can't believe how quickly the time is flying by. It will be time to leave before we know it.

It is one of the benefits of braving the heat and humidity of Florida. Though I am getting a bit jealous of all this talk of fall and changing leaves. The only change in leaves we get is from alive to dead. And it won't be cooling down here for a few months.
Do you guys deal with those down there? How about Deer flies?....do you have those?? They are the bane of a northern summer. They just hover around you and bounce off your head looking for a place to land and BITE. I've dealt with armies of mosquitoes in Alaska and the Yukon and would take that any day over Deer flies and yellow jackets.
Well, just when it cools down here and gets real pretty and the fairs start up and people just generally want to get outdoors, the yellow jackets come out (in force...!) and they are nasty little buggers. My DS5 got stung on the face the other day doing nothing more than jumping on our trampoline (and no, there is no nest nearby). They sting without warning and without reason!!!
Belle's Mom - painting sure doesn't sound like a lot of fun. I see you sell PC, I do too! I took a (long) break and went inactive, but I'm trying to start it back up again. I'm excited about some of the new fall products. Sadly, I didn't earn any because I was inactive all Summer.
). For some reason I never did that cuz I didn't think I could. But I see the PC link, SO!...if it's ok then I've got a scrap booking company I'd love to put a link in for. I just signed on a month or so ago but you can't have too much exposure, esp. when any income you get from it will help pay for that next trip!
As soon as I have that $200 deposit in the bank, I'm booking with Dreams Unlimited! And, if we end up moving down before that time, it'll save me the airfare!!
I noticed a couple of trees in our area starting to change. I love all the pretty colors. I hate raking up the leaves, but they are so beautiful when still on the tree. I'm sure we will have lots of fun. Hopefully we don't get lost! I'm a little nervous to drive out East, but it should be fine. I've gotten quite good at driving in Chicago and have driven in Washington DC and from Michigan to Florida. We're taking the train from Salem to Boston to avoid driving there.You should have some great foliage in another month. I'm sad to say (in terms of summer ending!) that we already have some Birch trees dropping yellow leaves and the small "swamp" Maples are turning reds and oranges (we're in southwest NH). End of September is usually peak up in the mountains and plenty of color down in the hills and where you'll be. I hope it's a good year for it! Have a great time!
Oh darn! And since our brother from Detroit is taking us to the airport he will also be missing it! Darn. We are all just so heartbroken. 
My sister and I are also going to miss out on our one cousin's bridal shower. We don't really know this cousin well at all, so I don't feel bad. I don't think I've seen this cousin in 15+ years. So we timed our trip perfectly!!! 
I've paged through most of these posts and after looking at the "join" dates, methinks I shall heretofore be known as:
Oldest Living Tagless DIS'er......... (sigh) countin' down since 1999!!!!
to do before we head out for our quick trip to WDW. 
Even though it's one night, we'll need clean clothes for when we come back. Hope you all have a great weekend (an extended one for those of us in the US.)
