Just found your TR, hope you have a great time! You're brave for driving down!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

I'm here and ready to read ALLLLL about it when you get back!!!!!!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Wait!! Just realized you are probably getting on the ship like RIGHT NOW!!! I'm going to find that web site where you can watch the ship leave port. I think you set sail about 5pm if I remember right. Just know we are waving at you from the internet like a couple of nerds. Just me and little man today so we are bored and this is making us excited for our cruise in June!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Well, it appears that Leyla and family and friends have set sail!! I love watching the ships leave online. If you ever want to watch go here: www.cocoabeachsurf.com

Here are some screen grabs I got from the web cam just a minute ago as the Wonder set sail.....

And away they go....

Oh my gosh Cherie, that site SO cool! You got a little picture preview!

can't wait to hear!

Hi there! Thanks for reading! Will probably start writing on Monday so be on the lookout!

 

[pierresgirl]

Well, I'm going to start y actualy trip report on Monday BUT I CAN tell you it was good , bad , and sometimes a little ugly MOSTLY GOOD though!!!! I think we put about 2600 miles on my car. The car that came OUT of the shop 30 minutes prior to leaving yeah. THAT be one of the ugly parts! Thankfully it's fixed. Mostly.

Pierre went out this mrning and the brakes on his truck are done. Gonzo. He's lucky to be alive. uggghhhh when it rains it pours ya know?!

See you all Monday!


My poor counter....... need to fix that STAT!!! OR did I?

 

[postalcop]

hey can't wait to read about it.. saw some pics on FB..

 

[pierresgirl]

Dun, dun dunnnnn!!!! A rather ominous start to our vacation, doncha think? Now mind you, a lot of it was preventable if I wasn't so lazy (orcheap) sometimes but every time I take my car to the dealership they try to guilt me into doing a lot of stuff. I SHOULD probably DO all that stuff but that's beside the point. I feel like they always want to rip me off and luckily when I've had problems it's been a recalled issue. Heck, I even got a whole new engine for free last year! YAY me!!!

So I had my emission test in May and it failed. Dun dun dunnnnn!!!! 60 days later I was SUPPOSED to take it back for a retest but I kept imagining it would just disappear or pass all on its own while I stared into the clouds. Do you know, boys and girls, that that DOES NOT happen? Not even when you wait 120 days.

No, despite knowing the test person and begging, it still didn't happen. PLUS my registration was due so I was panicking but was told I could pay the state (shocker) and worry about emissions later as long as they knew I did bring it back to retest. OK, I can deal. But there were a few things wrong with my VW that really needed to be taken car of before driving to FL from 1300 miles away. My neighbor is OLD time autorepair shop owner and as long as he doesn't have to deal with computers in the car he can do it. He had it for about a week and the night before we were leaving he said it would be ready in the AM. Of course that was after Pierre put the heat on him.

9 am, nothing. 10 am nothing, 11 am nothing, noon, finally!!!! We went to pick it up and I was waving the checkbook around but he said not to worry about that yet. Till I remind him we're gone for 10 days. Yeah. THEN he takes $500. FOR PARTS, I TELL YOU!!!! PARRTTTSS!!! Drop the P, R and T thankyouverymuch.

At home the car is loaded up, the kids are tossed in the backseat and off we go!

Here's Bella, i-Touch loaded and ignoring us already!

Here's Cooper, he was annoying, I mean entertaining!

See, I don't even know how he did that. The image actually loaded upside down! So weird.

Need to save this one for prosperity

Did I mention I drive like a grandma (no offense Mother) and I white knuckle Pierre's driving. Oooopph, makes it kinda tough, ya know?! Driving *sounded* like a great idea last year when I planned this trip. Now? No way! Ah well, too late to complain about something I did on my own accord. So you know what THAT means?

I can complain about everything else!!! YAY me! Haha Pierre! Anyways, we sailed though NYC and Bella booed Yankee Stadium. One of her fav sayings is that the “Red Sox spank the Yankees” lastnightnotincludedthough. When we got to NJ I, of course, had to make all the RHoNJ references (that's Real Housewives of New Jersey, YO! ) cause I sweat the dramz. Like I need to watch a show for that.... I was talking in my best Jersey accent about prosti...-whor-ah etc and I hear a chirp from that back seat copying me. Huh? I thought only 2 year olds did that! It was very quickly talked about NOT to talk like that!

Well, D. Staub of NJ got back at me by brewing up the worst storm I have. Ever. Seen. All cars put on their emergency lights and drove 15 miles an hour for about an hour. It really was unbelievable! I'm talking literally buckets dropped on the car, mud flinging, wind whipping kind of storm!

So by this point we had made like 8.8 bathroom stops cause no-one can coordinate their bladders and the kids are making this a “Bathroom Tour of America”. BTW the best stop is in Maryland but I can't remember exactly where so if you are driving through there you should look it up. They were also making it a “Eat Crap In Every State Tour” and THAT was in addition to the whole LOAF of sandwiches, 50 snackbars, bag of apples, bunch of bananas, box of juiceboxes, bag of pretzels. Need I got on? Didn't think so.

Will continue our drive down the coast Wed! In the meantime.......


I give yous guyses a fuucha look at my trip repo-aht. Dang, them housewives!

Umm, seriously, the cops? Broward County, bad boys bad boys! I'm innocent officer

Tossed in the bin already

“Hey Bella make sure you get from the waist up ok?”

“Is this where I sign up for the booze cruise?”

Assaulted by the Hook!!!!

You'll have to wait for more!

AHHH Can't wait!!!!! Write more..... Write more.......

thanks for reading! Going to try today!

Loving your TR! Cannot wait to read more!

Hi there! Glad you like it!


So my boss let me use her portable DVD player for the drive and told me you break it you buy it. You guys know where this is headed, right? Well the kids were watching it in the backseat, AFTER I spent a good 10 minutes tryin to get that dang cord lined up who makes those things anyway??!! A few hours later I was watching something and the screen kept going greenish so I asked the kids and they said it kept doing that for them too. Later on I ended up busting the cord (I think) because I pretty much have the patience of a flea not to mention they only watched about 30 minutes of EACH movie I Redboxed for them BTW Do NOT waste your time watching 'Solitary Man' with Michael Douglas unless of course you are driving down the entire East Coast. SOOOOO, my boss told me to drop off her DVD player today and I mentioned the screen thing butnotthecord and she said her boys never mentioned that to her. great JUST great Hopefully I can sort it out today and maybe it has something to do with the cord so if I get a new one the color will be okay.

You guys think it will be okay don't you?

I wrote out my second installment on my laptop yesterday, was inerting the pics and BAM it died contrary to the belief of my family I actually did NOT to anything to it so I'm pretty mad cause I didn't get to the "save" part. I'm home this afternoon though so want to redo it then!
