Trip Report "And The Award For The Most Dramatic Goes To....."

Hi Friends!! Here I go again....with the sincere intent of not taking anywhere near as long as I did with the last one. To help with that I was going through my pics & seeing what I could eliminate & what really wouldn't be important to this. The sad thing is I took really good notes for this trip but in the interest of this TR not taking me 6 months to finish I may cut back a little on photos or commentary. Alright, enough said. Let me get moving with this!!

WHO:
Yes, it's going to be one of my more confusing TR's b/c there were 9 of us!! Sorry, I know I did that to you a few years back too!! The good news is you have met all of us except 1 before so hopefully it will be a bit easier this time around!!

There's my sister C & her husband, D. Their daughters are A(birthday button) & E(to my left). I assume you all remember R? And of course, you know E & J!! One of our nephews, JC(in the red) wanted to join us on the trip. We had the room so his mom(my sister) told him she would buy his airfare for his birthday but he was on his own for park tickets and spending money. He agreed & was added on to the trip!!

Here's a more typical family picture that you're used to seeing from us🤣🤣🤣

WHERE:
Saratoga Springs Treehouse Villa
IMG_0960.JPEG



WHEN:
Tuesday, July 13th-Tuesday, July 20th for E, J, R, JC & myself
D, C, E, & A got there a week before us & stayed off property at their timeshare. They met us on the 13th & returned home on the 20th with us.

REASON FOR THE TITLE:
You'll see......

I dropped everyone off & parked the car. We met up at Penn Brewery for lunch.

R had gone to Hudson News for something & was irritated that they had to give him his change back in all nickels. They blamed it on the coin shortage.

I got grilled cheese with sauerkraut as my side. JC got grilled cheese but he added bacon to it. He said it was excellent!!
IMG_0930.JPEG


J got pretzel sticks & E got a salad. Not sure what R got & I didn't take a picture.
IMG_0932.JPEG


We all(the adults, that is) had some beers!!
IMG_0933.JPEG


JC(since his flight was booked later than ours) was on his own reservation. He lucked out by getting an A boarding group!!

R went with E & J for family boarding.

While I had to wait for B42.

I'm sorry I'm late!! Is it too late to vote for all the pictures and stories to be included, even if it takes 6 months to finish? I'm willing to be patient! Some of us are living vicariously because no one wants people from the Netherlands visiting their countries right now....we're spectacularly failing at keeping covid contained.

TUESDAY, JULY 13TH

Finally it was my turn to board the plane. Everyone else was already settled.
IMG_0937.JPEG


J saved me the seat next to him!! No SVU or Chicago PD this flight--neither one was on!!
IMG_0938.JPEG


While talking he "pinky swore" that he was going to ride EE this trip!!
IMG_0940.JPEG


Instead of taking the ME I booked a car service. We had an early dinner reservation & I was worried about cutting it too close with taking the ME. While on the plane I got this message:
IMG_0945.PNG


We headed to baggage to meet Rudy.
IMG_0946.JPEG


In no time at all we were getting in the car. Funny thing, since that initial time I have had Rudy as my driver two more times!! One of my sisters arrived in Disney this morning & she texted me that he was her driver also!!
IMG_0950.JPEG


On our way!!
IMG_0951.JPEG


Does anyone out there get annoyed by this song that they play on the ME? We do. So, I purposely played it for a few laughs!!
IMG_0952.PNG


R had sat up front with Rudy and they chatted about sports the whole time!!
IMG_0954.JPEG


This car service was so worth it!! From the time we landed until the time we got to Saratoga was 1 hour & 10 minutes!!
