So I know I said I want going to log on during our vacation, but here I am, sitting in the hotel room in fayetteville, NC, with free wifi plus I decided to bring my iPad, and voila, here I am!
We had a terrific drive down. Some traffic in Virginia, but not too bad thank goodness. I am exhausted and over tired. I couldn't sleep last night because of a combination of excitement, and also running things through my mind over and over again so we don't forget anything...even though I wrote out a final checklist to use this morning. DH went to sleep a little before midnight, and I couldn't sleep so on netflix I watched an old episode of melrose place, the original series from the 1990s, not the newer one from a few years back. It's my guilty pleasure, please don't judge me lol. I ended up falling asleep past 1:00! And we woke up at 4:00 this morning. We left the house around 5:30 and stopped at the bagel store and then at Dunkin donuts for iced coffee for the road.
We stopped between Baltimore and DC and had our bagels and stretched out legs a little at a rest stop. Then we had lunch at Shoney's in Virginia. DH looooves Shoney's and we go there on every trip down south! They were very accommodating for DS9's food allergies as well (shellfish, tree nuts and peanuts).
And so here I am, exhausted and excited, hoping I get a good night's sleep tonight. The beds here are very comfortable so that will help for sure. We are leaving in a little while to eat dinner at Red Robin...no diet until I get home, hahaha!
Glad to hear the first day's drive was terrific and you did not hit too much traffic. I live in Maryland and drive on 495 to work everyday. It can be tough some days but I am very thankful that the traffic is nothing like Virginia's traffic.
I have been up all night packing and getting everything together so we can leaver later this morning. The evenings this week after work did not go as I had planned. Oh well DH will be driving so it's okay if I am tired today. Hopefully I will be able to sleep well tonight.
I hope you had a good night's sleep and the drive today is just a great as yesterdays.
So we had to trek, and by trek I mean get back in car and drive to the main building and get issue resolved. Issue was that room wouldn't clear in system as ready to check into. So I waited at counter while CM Jenni fixed problem. Well they couldn't actually fix problem so they upgraded us for free to a preferred room location on first floor in alligator bayou in building 14 instead of 25. We are right next to main building/bus stop/main pool. SWEET!!! 
We are getting ready for our first meal at O'hana tonight! And I will be doing a dining review after our trip if you want to be on the look out for that when I start it. I will post a link on this thread for any interested people. Have a great night, I intend to!!
