Pre-Trip WE HAVE TO GO BACK! (April 2016)

Wow.

Well, this is quite a surprise!

We JUST got back from Disney on 9/26!! I hadn't been in ten years, and honestly didn't expect to be back for quite some time, but as luck would have it, it looks like we are going to be back in just SIX SHORT MONTHS!! I'm seriously still kind of in shock!

So here is a bit of back story to explain..My co worker has told me that her and her significant other are going to start trying for a baby...right now. I'm totally cool with this except that we normally vacation in September, and really any way it plays out if she were to be successful in the new few months, it would mean no vacation or any time off for me for up to 3 months. We always go to the beach, and so my brain started racking. We could go in early spring, but no, too cold, and basically it just went like that and me calculating out how many months from each month and blah blah. It got overwhelming. I knew that no matter what, I'd be pretty safe in April or May but it's not warm enough for the beach. Disney briefly came to mind but I thought "no way will i be able to talk my husband into going back this soon!" So all day today I looked up prices with the help of my mom (remember, she planned out entire vacation!) and I came home in hopes of trying to convince my husband that I think this is the best thing to do in regards to the uncertainty of my coworker being out next year. It didn't take much convincing! He was surprised that we could stay for as cheap as we could and that was it! We decided we are going to do it! I am giddy like a school girl!

I LOVE my beach trips, and the fact that I'm so excited about this is a bit surprising! So that's that! This is SUPER early in the planning process (and that step is OMG i'm still in shock!) and I know all of almost NOTHING right now except that we will be staying in a Value this time around since we are footing the bill. LOL

Anyway, that's all I've got right now. I honestly can't believe it! Stick around!

Thank you! We are hanging in there!

Maybe take a few phone numbers with you for Centra Care (walk-in medical clinics) that are in the vicinity of Walt Disney World, just in case Harper might need a doctor's visit and/or medication, while she's down there. I'm assuming she'll be fine by the time you leave in a few days for WDW, but I figure it's always helpful to keep information like that in your purse. Also, the hotel front desk CMs or concierge services can direct you as well. if a family member becomes ill. (Some of the walk-in clinics also offer transportation to and from the clinic.) Again, I doubt any of your family will need assistance while down there, but having some information handy while traveling, might be helpful in a pinch.

Very excited that you are going down there in just a few days!! Enjoy your trip! :)

Thank you! This is something to think about and not bad information to have! I think we will be okay as DH and I just have colds. Tired/exhausted but still able to function. Harper seems to be doing okay. Snotty still, but she's back to her old self!

Thanks everyone!!!

Good news: Harper is back to her normal self, and I feel better today than I did yesterday, and I think DH does too! So we're going to be okay, I think!

DH is the first person who will be able to say "I'm on vacation!!!" He leaves work at 2:00 today , so he's only got a few minutes!!

I need to make it until 5:30 and then I'm outta here! I'm getting my nails done after work today so that I don't have to worry about it tomorrow morning!

I doubt I will be back before my trip is over, so I will be back when we return and start my trip report!!

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!

We are back :(

3/5 of us are sick in some way.

Harper has been throwing up since we left Disney. *sigh*

Reality is not so magical!

I promise I will start my trip report very soon, but I have a lot of work to catch up on!
Sympathy like. I'm so sorry you're home already and Haper is not well. Prayers and pixie dust for all
