We interrupt this exciting TR to announce that the author has a new ticker!!!! July 8-15 2013 WDW with kids and grandkids!!!!! We did our planning last night!!!There are 10 of us, so I guess that makes us a Grand Gathering!!
Only downside ......... 
Congratulations on the new ticker AND trip, Tammie.
we are going to miss you by about three weeks next summer!
We started with planning June, but the boys ended up choosing July, thinking that right after the 4th might not be quite as crazy 
Bummer! Last night I had a dream that you told me you were leaving on the 7th, and I was trying to add two days so we could see you!
, we are leaving September 7th. 
If you liked the movie, you would like the book- I loved it, read it when my girlfriend finished it in Punta Cana.
And yea- the Hawaii research is in overdrive! I think I'm done for now tho- end of school year has me hopping!
Hey! That's great!
Tammie, you were right with the 7th. Only thing is that you got the month wrong
Maybe we will get to see you in 2014, when we are vacationing in California.
We should be able to pull that one off - unless we are cruising with DBIL at the same time. Your trip will probably be long enough that we can make it happen, though!
So I told them to have a wonderful day without me! Jesse opted to stay with the ladies and go shopping. Of course they were right on time!
and for the airport too. It can be a little noisy, but you soon adjusts to the noise and tune it out.
I grabbed my towel and book and moved back under a shelter a few feet away - and the sun came out again! 
Everyone was struttin' their stuff KWIM? I believe the hubbies are pilots -they get training in strutting and the wives get trained in all of the social graces that requires, I believe. Have you seen Army Wives????
What a beautiful way to start your day! This is the view from the patio
This is a wonderful little beach - the only drawback is that it is right next to the flightline for both the military jets - so I could see that the boys were really working.
I slathered on the sunscreen, donned my hat and shades, settled in with my book and......
Yep. It clouded over and started to drizzle.
Back to the chair, settle in - start to read -
and it clouds over and starts to drizzle!
This went on for most of the morning!
Isn't that just the way it goes? Glad it finally cleared up for you later on.There were a couple of couples from here who were a little freaked out by it - it was comical to watch them. The bikini clad girls were all set - beautiful new tans from the tanning salon (remember they are from here, so I knew) beautiful new bikinis - and of course bodies I am jealous of!
Ahhh, sweet relaxation!
I get misty eyed, just thinking about it.
See, right there. It's like we're twins. We almost say the same thing.
I would say, "GET ME AWAY FROM THE BEACH!"
Really, close. Uncanny, no?
Somehow I knew that would be your response.
That was one of the spots on my to-do list, but we never made it. I think we had enough at the international market anyway.
I considered it, but it wasn't really the type of shopping I wanted to do - more like the International Market is what I had in mind
Okay, you must really love the beach if you're going to pass up shopping in favor of it.
That's a definite, especially when there's only one sunny day to be had!
!!!
Nice!
Did they at least stop the car? Or did you have to tuck and roll?
Well, they stopped long enough for me to jump out, then peeled out - throwing my chair, etc. out the window as their tires screeched on the road -
Typical tropical scene. Sun, waves, palms, 747s.
Such a shame that you don't have any pictures. It would be so funny to see them running back and forth.
Yeah, that's the reason.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sure that is the reason
Just curious. Did he have trouble getting started?
No, I think he just headed for the swimming area and Michelle went out to tell him where to go, which did not make him happy.
Sounds good! Thanks for the chapter!
Looks like a really relaxed day at the beach (even if it meant running for shelter now and then
The beach looks just really nice, even with the planes coming inand count me in to the ones who love the photo of your toes in the sand.
Good choice on the beach! I really am not a big shopper- so I would definitely have done the same- shop at home! Go to the beach in Hawaii!!
I'm thinking she has a fun job. Anyway, she couldn't talk and said she'd call back. I didn't hear from her again - figured she was busy. Then after we were back it dawned on me that my phone was wonky while we were there and I should have tried her again just in case.
What's a beach day without a little excitement, right? I think PKondz would have way more fun jumping up out of his chair and running every 10 minutes than just sitting and reading - I read that somewhere
