to the evil ATM 
I cannot believe the ATM story! That's just awful! I would have been bawling!! So sorry you fell-- never a fun thing, ESPECIALLY when you're super stressed about something else, too!
Courtney: You totally should look into a shoot with David & Vicki for your honeymoon! That would be so fantastic!
Love the $10 Friday idea! Great way to save!
Can't wait to see if/when you get that camera!
You should totally get that camera! I have a basic point and shoot (Sony Cybershot) and I'm always in awe of the pictures Dis'ers take with their DSLRs! The ones of your daughter at the beginning of the PTR are fantastic!
Have you thought about upgrading from a P&S? A DSLR is a little bit of a pricey initial investment but the quality of the pics is so worth it! Plus, when you go to WDW, you can get low light pics w/o using flash 
I'm a mess sometimes. I broke my ring finger one time as we were getting on a plane for a trip to DC, sprained my ankle couple days before Aisling's first WDW trip, and fell down an entire flat of stairs and flat on my back 2 days before my DISmeet trip. 
Does she have a DSLR right now? If they are used regularly, they only have a 3-4 year lifespan of prime performance. (which is horrible given how much you spend on them). Mine has started to do some funky things (throwing error codes and such) so I decided that it's time. I'm terrified to think of being on vaca and having it die (let us not forget the lens dropping incident last year
hers is only 2yrs old
she think she sleeps with it
it is her baby
ugh I remember seeing your posts about the ATM but didn't know you got hurt too
(Aisling and my BFF's daughter were having a natural backyard photoshoot for Christmas pics for our parents so I wasn't supposed to be in any pics)
And this pic of Ash and I that would have been super cute if I had makeup on or my hair done
Wow, is your nickname Klutzy Kristine?! I hope you don't seriously injure yourself in these escapades you have!
I would love to buy a nice camera like that but 1) I'm afraid I'd break it and 2) I'm too cheap to buy one
I think 14 hour bus tours have bad karma or something, because when we went on our's to Pompeii, that's kind of how our day ended up - just one bad thing after another. 
And did you have enough money for the trip? And did you ever get your money or card back???? And And And And... 
Yikes on the ATM and falling incident!
Oh my gosh, that is quite the story!
Hey, hey....let's get back on track...its Friday night and I am dying to know the rest of the story. My guess is that the person was a decoy and his partner took your money and atm card while you were giving directions...am I right???
. The phone worked but the internet did not. So we couldn't email for help. Which meant we had to make some more phone calls (at this point we were still believing the claim that the card could be replaced ASAP). So when the tour was quiet and we were just driving through the country, we would make a call. And then we would get nowhere. None of their emergency numbers worked. They kept passing us off to other numbers- who would hang up on us. Yup, we got nowhere. So we decided to give up for awhile and just relax and enjoy the scenery.
, we decided to call in re-inforcements. Namely, my mom! But really, even I can do basic math and at $1/min, I knew these phone calls were adding up. So I put my mom on it and asked her to make what calls she could from the states. At this point, we realized that we weren't getting our money back until we got back to the states (if at all ) so we were done making phone calls for the day. And I knew that if anyone was getting our money refunded...it was a momma bear whose baby bear was in another country with no cash.
