Ok, with a mere 6 and a half weeks to go, Im ready to start my pre-trip report.
INTRODUCTIONS: Hi, I'm Kelsey. I am 24 and I work in accounting. I'm currently studying to get my Certified General Accountant designation. I love cupcakes, snowboarding and goin out/girl talk with my friends. The other person on the trip is my soon-to-be husband, Jason. He is 25 and does sales and office work for my Dad's roofing supply company. Don't worry though, I got my Dad the employee; my Dad didn't get me the boyfriend. He likes beer, golf and his motorcycle.
This was last September during our first trip to Disneyworld.
Heres one of our engagement photos (My little brother is such an amazing photographer!)
Ok, one more photo. This is where we're from! Victoria, BC. It was pretty cool to see this sign in Epcot, along with the gardens and the totem poles etc. Really made us feel at home.
TRIP PURPOSE: Our upcoming trip is for our honeymoon were getting married at home in my parents garden on the 30th. We got engaged on February 28th (yes, much more romantic than the traditional February 14th) and 3 months and a few days later were gettin hitched. No no, Im not pregnant! Weve been dating for about 4 ½ years and living together for 1 ½ years in the condo we bought together, so we figured a wedding isnt much more of a commitment than cohomeownership! (I swear thats a word, break it down, it makes sense!) Plus, we knew itd be at my parents house, so we didnt have to book a venue, and the best time for pretty flowers is May. So we decided to not wait a full year, and just *ahem* get it over with! Its going to be great, we have it all planned mostly. Fun, casual and cheap thats our wedding motto! Should get it engraved on the rings or something.
OUR DISNEY HISTORY: Ive only been to Disneyland once when I was three-ish. The only things I remember, as in have seen photos of, is a Mickey shaped swimming pool (no idea what hotel it was!) and the carousel. So I consider myself a newbie. J has never been to Disneyland. We both went to Disneyworld last September with our good friends Randy and Karin (who are also getting married later this summer and honeymooning at Disneyworld). We had a good time at Disneyworld, but wanted to switch it up a bit and see a few more places.
TRIP DETAILS: We decided on a road trip because its cheaper, we both like to drive and it lets us visit many places without renting a car. Also, it makes J feel like were going somewhere other than just Disneyland, which Im looking forward to also. We will be going to:
- San Diego for 2 days 2 nights
- Disneyland for 4 ½ days 5 nights
- San Francisco for 2 days 3 nights
- And two lovely stops while driving: Oregon on the way down, and Washington on the way home
The first two days (and the last two days) will be very long days of driving, but well hopefully be able to catch some sleep while the other person is driving. Once were in the three cities, we probably will drive very little, if at all.
Alright, next update will be our plans for San Diego. Hope you will all enjoy my PTR and my TR which will be starting in 2 months. Ok, I really shouldnt be thinking about coming home from our vacation already!
