Also popping in to wish you a wonderful trip!!! So close now. I am pea green with envy and looking so forward to living vicariously through your trip report. Have a blast Gina!!
Hi, I just wanted to drop by and wish you a wonderful trip. I have followed your TRs and really enjoyed the time and detail you put in. Your family seems like fun! Also, my sister is another one of those no cream cheese/sour cream people so you aren't totally alone.
Hi - just found this thread a couple of days ago after seeing you over on the transportation board. Finally caught up and really enjoyed reading it! I hope y'all have a wonderful time! Our dates and times are pretty darn close - if our plane is delayed at all I may just see you in the Alamo aisle Saturday morning! We are hitting Universal Sat thru Monday morn/afternoon and the heading over to POR and wrap the trip at Disney. We are hitting MNSSHP Tuesday but alas no HHN nights planned - DW is like you say in your title , a halloweenie...maybe my son and I can sneak out...
Thanks for continuing to check the car rental rates... I really did just say to myself, hmmm let's check to see what Gina found out today re cars...Ha! I think I'm dropping my Budget one and opting for the June Alamo one and picking my own from the aisle. Anyway here's to a wonderful trip and thanks for all your tips. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a pirate couple at MNSSHP - I'll buy you a dole whip...no cheese in that, right?

Safe travels to Orlando.....your time is almost here too! Your journey there is much, much longer than ours, so I hope it goes smoothly for all . No delays and no turbulence!
It looks like Orlando is enjoying some hot and humid temps right now, so while your unusually warm autumn is making packing more of a challenge, its probably a good thing in the long run.....you will be able to adjust so much easier! We're dark, dreary and damp here, so we can't wait to bask in the glorious sun of the south (though we'll probably die of heat stroke the first day or two!!).
Is your DD getting excited for this year's adventure? Her friends must be super jealous! Are you doing MNSSHP again this year, and if so, what are your costumes?
Fingers crossed that we manage to cross paths at some point at Universal. I know its a long shot, but I will be keeping my eyes peeled for ya just in case.
Yes 9 hour flight is one of the disadvantages for us from England. We are flying out direct this year so not too bad.
Yes my DD is very excited but keeps correcting people that we are going to universal not Disney. We are doing MNSSHP 18th. DD had a witches dress and i'll just wear my mickey Halloween t shirt.
2 days for you..have a great time
Hi Gina!
I'm not sure if I will be able to get on the boards in the next day or two, so I wanted to wish you a wonderful trip and safe travels as well. I hope you and Steve have a fantastic time in Orlando! I can't wait to read your trip report when you get back!
oooh it's getting close, and I hope it's a 24 hour bug or something not intending to be long or full blown. Hope you both feel better fast. DD hurt her hand last night while playing soccer. Need to go to specialty doctor. Oh, just one more issue I have to deal with before I leave. Ugh.
9 hour flights are not fun. Luckily, my flight is also about 2 and 1/2 hours too. Direct. Still hoping we have no rain and really nice weather. Making sure my shorts are washed, so I'm ready to be wearing them again. Since a week or so ago, pants are required. Cool autumn has set in.
HaHa. I'll be doing that Saturday night.
I just got the most lovely and generous gift from one of my bosses.
He came into the office this morning, and handed me a small brown envelope. On it, he had written "Christmas came early this year".....and inside was $300 in US cash (which with the exchange rate would have cost him $400 Canadian).
When my mouth fell open, he says to me "I just want you to know how much you're appreciated around here. Go have an incredible trip."
I think he's in line for Employer of the Year .
Aww that was so nice. Just being able to get off is the best I get. Oh well. At least that will buy a few butter beers!
its almost time! Hope to meet some of you Monday night!
What a sweet boss! I've been MIA as we planned our trip ....sorry.....Just wanted to say that I hope everything goes perfectly. Shake those sniffles too, won't ya? Selfishly, I also hope the weather isn't as rainy as it seems right now since we'll be at Universal on the 13th in the middle of our Disney-ness.
Have a wonderful trip! The weather looks grand...i will be praying for no rain on your HHN and MNSSHP nights!!
There are 5 of us plus my seeing eye dog heading down this month. No plane ride for us...instead its a 24 hour drive. Luckily my DS has his drivers permit to help DH with the driving this year. We drive straight through without stopping. We are pretty used to this trip (going own since 2004) but we also drive 20ish hours to see my mom and dad in South texas every year. We love seeing the country and spending time as a family. Thank God for good kids!!!! We've been driving long distance since they were babies so they are used to it. My bum on the other hand is feeling its age!!!
What a great boss
Are they hiring at your office?
I also had an 'awesome' gift at work yesterday. It was the 10 year anniversary of the facility that I run my business in. They had a team anniversary lunch.....get ready for it....get ready for it......they gave us grilled cheese and a plastic wallet.
