I've been a lurker for a while...well since you started your TR and thought I would say hello now. I live in Northeast Florida and when I saw the pictures you took of the iron bridge and of downtown Jacksonville I was so excited! I drive that everyday. They have since shut that bridge down and re-directed traffic onto a new part of the expressway. Anyway I just wanted to pop in and say hello!

BTW loving the trip report

Thanks so much for reading along and taking the time to say hi! I love Jacksonville; it always looks o bright and airy!

I love it too! I just hope someday our trips will overlap, otherwise we'll just have to plan a trip to go ourselves..Me, you, and xoktenox!

Oh a girl's trip would be SOOOOO much fun! We have to try to plan that sometime!

Oooh I love that pic of the monorail with the sun setting! Very awesome!

Yes! Wishes from the beach! Wasn't it awesome?!

Wow, this report is incredible! Great job so far!

I'm a semi -local - in CT!

Looking forward to your next installment!

Hey Mel! I'm still here, don't think I've abandoned you!

Watching Wishes from the Poly is definitely one of my favorite things to do at WDW so I'm sad Ali wasn't thrilled with it Glad she did enjoy the night at the arcade of the Contemporary though

I kind of know what happened this night of the vaca because I read your blog! But still anxious to hear more...

Hey girl! I had to laugh at Ali spilling the neon stuff all over the car. When I was younger we used to go to this teen club that had the glow sticks you put in your mouth. Well, stupid me bit it and my mouth was glowing green! I thought I was going to die of some kind of poisoning lol.

I loved the update. I'll say it again, I have no idea how you were so close to MK and didn't go in! Riding the monorail right in front of it?! I would lose my mind lol.
Those mustache pics cracked me up.

Can't wait for the next update!!

Hey Kristen! You already know all the plot twists I think I talk to you more on Facebook than the Disboards! We still have to try to get together sometime soon, that would be so much fun!

Oh my gosh girl, what a not-so-fun way to spend a day of your vacation! I hope you're doing alright now.

Sorry I've been so behind! I went to California and have been sick since I got back But I'm caught up now!

Bahama Breeze looked awesome! I want to try it sometime. And, I don't blame Ali for kissing the Jonas Brothers on the front of the magazine!

I am SO SO sorry about your whole hospital ordeal. As soon as I read your symptoms I thought to myself that it sounded like a panic attack. I've had a couple bad ones before and they are TERRIBLE! One time I was at Target with my little sister and just started freaking out. I felt bad for her b/c she didn't know what was wrong. And then when I got home it just got even worse! My other bad one was freshman year in class at college. So embarassing. My professor ended up driving me back to my dorm b/c I was such a mess. Glad you are feeling better now though!!

Aw thanks so much! I'm definitely a lot better now than I was then... no idea what happened! It put a damper on the trip but thankfully we still managed to have a lot of fun!

Hey! I saw that you went to Cali on Facebook, hope you had an amazing time! Panic attacks are the WORST. I always heard they were bad but you really don't realize how horrible it feels until you have one. It's like a heart attack and ridiculous paranoia all wrapped up in one... good times! I'm just glad I'm feeling better. I don't even know what I'd have done if I was at school, that must have been horrible. I'm glad you got through it!

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

Thanks girl! I am glad you are feeling better, too! I think it's easier once you know it's a panic attack. Because my worst ones were before I really knew what was happening, so I thought I was having a heart attack/dying! Now I just try to tell myself to relax because it is just a panic attack and that definitely helps! Can't wait for the rest of your TR!!

 

[TrueEeyore]

I knew this happened from your blog but it's still scary to read again! I'm glad you're ok. I know exactly how you feel, I suffer from anxiety myself. I had one really bad panic attack a couple of years ago and I felt like my heart was going to explode. I had to go to the ER too and they also gave me Xanax.

If you're ever out of Xanax, just carry around a couple of Unisom tablets with you. It will help calm you down without the need for a prescription drug. I always just took a quarter of a pill and it helped without making me too drowsy. Just a little FYI for ya

It's definitely easier once you know what it is and can calm yourself down. Those things suck though! And thanks again!

I remember you telling me about the panic attack you had. They're so scary! I'm glad you were alright though! And thanks for the tip

I always live through your TR's of Universal..I just can't bring myself to go there yet.

Too bad your meal was disappointing. I know you guys love it there. That was a HUGE pile of nachos!
