Merry Christmas everyone. Hope everyone is having a good holiday.

I've been out of order for some time. I posted on my TR thread what I've been up to https://www.disboards.com/threads/ptparad-trs-and-shenanigans.3806963/post-66486919

I do hope everyone had a wondeful and merry Christmas. We had a great morning with the girls, then a quiet afternoon and evening as they headed out. Tomorrow Melissa and I head to the mountains for a anniversary getaway.

About 25 days till I head south for the 24. If weather forecasts get bad we might leave earlier to get south of any potential snow even it means waiting in out a few days somewhere.

Just started to look at the seasons RV trips. Right now looks like at least TN is July, looking for a good Spring trip for Melissa and I, maybe I 81 corridore for some different area to explore.

Anyone got any planning going on?

My RV planning is hindered this year by 17 days of scout summer camps this year. I'm taking DS, and about half the troop, to the summer camp I went to growing up and then to summer camp the troop always goes to. I also have to use a few days of vacation to drop him off at Philmont for a national youth leader camp too.

I think we will do a few local long weekends here and there and a K State Football weekend, but no big RV trips this year again for us.

James, your food pics looked great.

We have a trip to Gulf State Park in February (a long weekend) so I can hustle around a half marathon course (another half here at home in March).

I have been watching the Fort/WDW webbie for anything that might impact our trip in early May. Right now FW discounts (15% if available on your dates) are/were available through April 30, 2026 so I am watching for the post-May 1 discounts maybe availble after New Years (fingers crossed).

But regardless of discount or not, we still comin'. To quote Ed O (not my former HC but I love the guy- I speak Cajun like a native):



Locally I got spring college baseball coming up here soon. I can sneak into afternoon practices in about 3 weeks then the intra-team scrimmages will start (Crimson vs White, etc.) and the season starts around Valentine's Day. About 30 home games this spring which is great for a retiree who loves baseball in the best/toughest league (SEC) in college baseball.

That's what I'm planning on/for. I can't wait to hook up the camper again and pull out of the driveway soon.

PS - I used to work in sales with customers along I-10 in Louisiana with most customers SOUTH of the interstate (and deep in Cajun culture). But I know a little French and it was like talking underwater. It took me a few seconds (initially) in conversation to listen and decipher then understand. But then it was not that hard (en francais) to reply - just a little bit - in French back which my conversants appreciated. The more I listened, though (through the day or two), the quicker I got. I might have been Cajun in a prior life?

PPS - that's a pretty Christmas tree, Spencer.
