WHEN:
Friday, January 14th-Monday, January 17th

We had a 7:00 flight that evening b/c R & J both had school that day. When I say R had school what I really mean is that he had to work. He is a principal & really does not like taking off from work while school is in session. I happened to be off that day so I was able to take my time getting ready to go & for once didn't feel like I was rushing from work to the airport.

We ate at Penn Brewery for dinner & while we waited for our food R taught J how to gamble!!

He was so excited b/c he won $10.00. Beginner's luck!! 🤣
IMG_3980.JPEG


R decided that he only wanted pierogies that were on the appetizer menu. I tried to talk him into getting something more but he said he wasn't that hungry. Guess who was starving by the time we got to Florida??

There was quite the scene at the gate as the passengers from the previous flight were coming off. See my man standing up with the dark orange hoodie?? Wow.... Apparently he was refusing to wear his mask on the plane & was giving the flight attendants a hard time about it. He was still carrying on even after the flight. Well, he was so busy being a jerk that he forgot his coat on the plane. Now he wanted to go back on & get it. He was told he wasn't allowed. It was very obvious(& rightfully so) that Southwest took their good old time going back on there to retrieve it. It seemed like they were stalling long enough to give airport security time to get there!! Served him right!! All that did was created more of a scene though. Finally, security ended up escorting him out. He kept saying he has the right to not wear a mask. Come on dude, we've been wearing them on planes for the last 2 years. If you don't like it, stay home. No one is forcing you to fly. Where I got really irritated was when our flight was delayed b/c of Mr. Non Rule Follower. I don't want to sound mean but I hope he ended up getting some kind of fine over his antics!!

J started out by reading the beverage menu that evening!! 🤣
IMG_3987.JPEG


He followed up with the safety instructions after that!! 🤣

Fortunately our flight wasn't delayed too long & we landed shortly before 10. Really, 9:37 & our room still wasn't ready??

By 9:50 it was though:rolleyes:

None of us checked in luggage b/c it was going to be a short trip. The car service was waiting for us & we were home in no time at all!!

I really don't understand the whole big thing about wearing masks on the plane. Like you said, if you don't want to wear a mask, don't fly! It's no different than seatbelts, or no smoking in the cabin. Those are the rules and when you check in and get on the plane, that's the agreement you make. There are always rules for everything in life. That's part of living in society. To take part in it, you agree to live by the rules. If you don't like the rules, then don't take part in society. *stepping off soapbox*

Wow....that's really really LATE for them not to have the room ready. What time does J usually go to bed? Had you said you'd be checking in late?

Edit: Looks like I made the first page! That NEVER happens. Where is everyone??

Exactly!! I'm not even saying that I like wearing them but a rule is a rule.

I think he goes around 8 on school nights but stays up later on the weekends. Unfortunately, I was honest & said the truth of what time we would be arriving. Maybe I should start fibbing a bit...🤔

Seems like everyone is here but me!! Work really gets in the way of life too much!!
My wifi stinks at this hotel I am currently in. It makes it impossible to keep up. But I am here.

Lousy wifi is better than having ants like you did that one time a few years back, right??:oops:

FRIDAY, JANUARY 14TH

We took our luggage to our rooms & headed back down to The River Roost. Just like my last time here the kitchen was already closed when we arrived so we ordered a pizza from The Riverside Mill & took it to The River Roost while we had a few drinks.

Grateful that we got to see Bob then b/c the next day was a different story 😞

SATURDAY, JANUARY 15TH

Of course, I started my day out with a walk around the most beautiful place on earth!!
IMG_3994.JPEG


The weather was nice & it looked like it was going to be a great day!!
IMG_3995.JPEG


I could stare at the river for hours!!
IMG_3996.JPEG


We all met up at The Riverside Mill. Not sure if any of you remember from past TR's but R always has to have his fruit, banana & OJ for breakfast so we had to make sure we got that. I decided to get the tiniest, most expensive cappuccino on the face of the earth. Of course, R's stuff wasn't cheap either!! BTW--the cappuccino was lousy!!
IMG_3998.JPEG

Please excuse my wrinkly, dry hands. It doesn't matter how much cream I put on them. Being a grocery store manager(esp. in the winter months) totally wrecks havoc on your hands!!

Yes, this bill was ridiculously high but at least we got what we ordered.....
IMG_3999.JPEG


Poor E & J mobile ordered J's Mickey Waffles long before we got there. The woman in front of E had been waiting 1/2 hour for her food & still hadn't received it. Unfortunately, we had an appointment to get to & J ended up never getting his either. I don't know what was going on there but it was a total shame. I told E she should complain to the front desk later so that she could at least get her money back for the meal but she never did.

We were headed to DS. You know how you always see the DS buses running at 9am & scratch your head & wonder why when there's 100 people waiting for an MK bus that is nowhere to be found?? Yeah, me too. With all that being said I wanted to make sure that things hadn't changed recently since we had appointments scheduled so I had asked the front desk while I was walking earlier if the buses to DS still ran that early. They assured me that they didn't start running until 10:00 exactly(keep that in mind for what happens the next day:banghead:) & told me we would need to take an Uber or Lyft so that's what we did.

POR is super close to DS so we were there in no time at all!!

I just got back from WDW last night and was so excited to see that you started this TR!!!! So happy that you got to stay at POR Riverside once again. I would definitely have complained to the front desk about the food service that E paid for and never received! :oops: I can't wait to hear what you had an appointment for at DS!!!!
I hope you had a good time!! So, you made it back just in time for the monster storm or did it miss you?
She should have complained. But sometimes it's not even worth the hassle I guess.
The appointment was pretty neat-something new!!

We got into NJ around 10:00 pm last night and woke up to the Cyclone Bomb weather this morning!!! I plan on spending the day indoors catching up on laundry and such!
