the one where no one knows where we're staying or how to get there!
Apologies for this not being as pretty as I would like. I need to get a handle on the coding here.
Anyway, hello! Welcome to my first PTR! I suppose I should start by telling you who will be in attendance,
This is me (Emma) and my fiancé Shane. We got engaged just over two weeks ago (squeal!) after being together for nearly two years. It's a very long distance relationship since I am from the south of England and he lives in SC. But we have a a very strong connection. Today is a very bittersweet day, as he flew back to the States after a two week visit. And while I am so excited as we have been planning for disney, I am missing him very much at the same time.
Anyway, I shall do my best not to mope and focus on the fact that We will be at WDW in 9 weeks!! Last year we decided that I would come to the states when I went on summer break from university. A simple visit to meet his family has now turned into an almost six week road trip starting in Orlando and ending in NYC, stopping to do at least one thing in every state we pass through. So Disney is just one part of a very long and exciting journey. BUT the Disney portion of the trip is mine to plan, since that is my area of expertise
. Have I said Disney enough times in this paragraph? Disney.
Now, the last time I went to Disney was 2004 and I was 12. I has been dreaming of going for six year and it was even better than I could have dreamed. WDW obsession is in my blood, as my mother used to pore over guidebooks bought for her by Canadian relatives. My parents even had their honeymoon at WDW. Shane, however went last year with his best friend... Of which I was obviously not jealous. Which brings me nicely to explaining my title. Adventure is a banned word when either of us travel. It's a jinx. His last florida trip was dubbed an adventure and he got pulled over by the cops. Since then every time it is used during travel something bad happens. Therefore, at no point shall this trip ever be referred to as an adventure.
Anyway I'm afraid I don't have much to talk about in the way of actual plans yet, since we have nothing concrete. I know, I know, we have left it very late, I can hear a lot of the old hats at this weeping at the thought. But in bettween university, work, rehearsals and life, time has got away from us. Right now I do have a suitcase, and about $480 in cash to take with me (thank you to my uncle, who apparently just has that sort of currency just left over, need to be really nice to him all the time in future) We have many options for flights and accommodation and ticket, we are basically waiting to see what the most affordable ones are since we are poor people who are now saving for a wedding!
I will hopefully be updating weekly or when I have more plans in place. Sorry if this has been kind of long winded and boring. But I hope someone out there will stick with me as I plan this ad...I mean journey.
