To all who come to this happy place: WELCOME!!!
I'm here to tell you about our amazing trip to the World! It was magical in so many ways but especially one in particular...we'll get to that later though!
How about some introductions?
I'm Candace...unfortunately sometimes known as Candy much to my chagrin Mostly, though, known as Can or Candace and sometimes, much to my...well, the opposite of chagrin, "that girl who's obsessed with Disney."
And here's a more accurate representation...
My partner in crime...
That's Joe. We've been together for three awesome years and he's the best. We went to high school together and have been friends throughout the years. Three years ago we went out for a drink at a really classy establishment (aka a smelly dive bar in the city where we went to high school) and the rest, as they say, is history. And a more accurate representation of Joe?
Hands off now...he's taken .
Joe and I are both 28 years old...how we graduated from high school ten years ago is beyond me. Here are a couple lovely pictures of us together representin' some of our teams...
And I'll throw in a "GO GREEN!" and see who bites...
So the reason for the trip? Ha, that's funny, as if you need a reason...
How about "the excuse I used for going to Disney again?"
That would be my graduation from graduate school! After 16 long, stressful, awful, tear-filled months I was done. And Joe had stayed with me through it all so we both deserved a vacation! Joe also had not taken a real vacation since he started working after college.
With these two things in mind, we decided a nice long vacation was necessary. AKA I was able to get away with suggesting a longer than one week vacation . I graduated mid December and while I would have loved to leave right after, the drastic price jumps during the holiday season were too difficult to justify. We decided to go early January and booked in July after the Play, Stay and Dine promotion came out. We'd be arriving January 5th and leaving for home on January 16th.
One more piece of information though about this trip. I hate flying. Absolutely, positively hate it. Joe, on the other hand, LOVES it...one of his life goals is to get his pilot's license. The notion of opposites attracting could not be more true here...
So, we ended up deciding to drive. Much to Joe's dismay. We would leave Sunday January 4th, stay the night in Georgia and head home sad1 Friday January 16th where we'd stay the night in Kentucky and then finish the drive on the 17th.
PHEW.
Are you ready? Please stand clear of the doors.
