Hi.
Hola.
Hello.
Wat up?
How's it Going?
Anything new on your end?
I mean in your neck of the woods so to speak, not actually your end.
Unless you may have gotten a tattoo.
Then by all means please do tell.
Picture are welcome also of your end with a tattoo...
as long as that end is connected to a body that resembles Shemar Moore
and not Dudley Moore. 
Notice the difference:
Hot:
Not:
Anywho, I digress and need to remember where this was all heading...
Oh yeah...Which way do we go George? Which way do we go?
You see this sums up this PTR perfectly.
Encase you are younger than a Cabbage Patch Doll, the originals, not the, squeaky clean refurbished ones of recent years, I will link the cartoon this classic line (albeit altered slightly)is from.

So which way DO we go?
You see this spring break is unique for us. I have three children who usually travel in a pack and now, that pack is down to a solo kid.
Treyner, my oldest, Sophomore in college, is off to Playa del Carmen, with his girlfriend and her family.
Carsyn, the daughter who is a senior in high school, is heading to Jamaica with 5 girlfriends and a set of parents.
So that just leaves Baylor. Freshman in high school and soon the lone wolf of the house. Braces off recently and ready to have some fun!
Originally Baylor's Dad was going to do something with him but plans changed and he is going to KC in April for a family reunion with Baylor and Carsyn.
This meant we could do something with Baylor. But what do we do?
I have been a DVC member for 10 plus years now so WDW is a yearly thing for the kids but there was also the want of going somewhere new and or a BEACH!
We live in Minnesnowta and I am sick of the cold (a balmy -30 windchill this morning) and snow.
Here were some of our options:
#1 We have friends coming in from Ireland to Austin, TX for a music concert week the same time we have spring break but they would be mostly busy with concerts and it was not something we wanted to spend a ton of money on.
#2 We thought about South Padre and hitting up some sights on the way back but according to everyone...the same time we would be off, so is Texas and the beaches are jam packed with College Spring Breakers who are a bit more wild than what I want Baylor around.
Or me for that matter!
Lying in the sun while dodging beer bongs
and vomit
is not my idea of relaxing.
#3 We then contemplated WDW plus throwing in the gulf in Alabama and a short stay in New Orleans. Problem with that was fear over cool weather in the upper Gulf area that time of year. We also thought it would be a great destination for the whole family the next time we could get away. None of us have been to New Orleans.
#4 So...that brought us full circle back to WDW and the beach.
Baylor asked if we could not go back to Key West again this year.
He is a smart boy. Jet ski rentals, boat rentals, etc.... will all be so much cheaper since we only have one child with to suck the life out of us.
I mean thoroughly enjoy on vacation.
So I scoured and found us a great deal!
A 2 bedroom small house on a canal in Marathon Key, for less than an All Star during peak season.
We can have a kitchen and save money on food to spend elsewhere!!!
Originally we booked at AS movies but opted for a stay again at POFQ.
That happened this morning due to a nice pin code!!
We are infamous road trippers but...
with only three of us, it is not much more expensive to fly at all. Especially with current gas prices going up and it would mean putting a ton of miles on a car Carsyn will be taking to college. Renting a car from here was ridiculously expensive as well.
So we are flying...
Into Atlanta.
That's right Atlanta again!
Why you ask?
Because Orlando wants my money and yours and your neighbors, to even cross into their flight patterns over spring break.
So we will fly into Atlanta on the evening of March 9th. Head down to Florida and check in to our hotel room early on the 10th...if at all possible!
I have heard of some people checking in as early as 3 a.m. for that days check in if they have rooms available.
If not, we can crash in the car like homeless people.
Baylor will have slept the whole way anyway in the backseat.
Then we will spend 4 night at POFQ on the dining plan.
Yes I already have ressies!
Up next will be to leave the morning of the 14th for a 5 day stay in the Keys and returning back to WDW for the nights of the 19th & 20th.
Leaving really early the 21st to hit the road for the airport since our plane leaves at 10:30 from Atlanta home.
Or we may change plans and leave the 20th at night...staying at a airport hotel.
Not sure of that little factor yet.
I do know I am psyched to be heading out the door with Dan again.
This would be me & Dan for those of you out of the loop.
Up next:
Dining reservations and more info!
