Good morning ladies!
Well here it is Tues. and the cold is still lingering and about the same. I tried a Mucinex this morning so hopefully that will kick in soon and give me some relief!I have to get better before my treatment on the 11th.
I may have mentioned way back when about our upcoming 3 day weekend at WDW. We're still going to do it as long as I feel OK. We have a room-only res. so I can cancel it before the 5-day point if I have to. Now here's the annoying part...I was on the Dis a couple of weeks ago and checked the news area and lo and behold the AKL pool is closed at the time we'll be there. I immediately got on the phone and tried to switch it to the AKL Villas but they wouldn't honor the rate for me and its just too far to trek from one resort to the other for me right now. So, I booked us at PO Riverside and used the savings to rent a car which will make it easier for me to get around. I was really ticked about the pool closure cause we haven't stayed at AKL in years and I was so looking forward to it.
I'm beginning to get excited about the trip and have some plans in my head for our itinerary. My bro and sil may even come up from Ft. Myers to visit with us. I hope that works out! We decided that we'll visit AKL Villas and have lunch at Saana. (sp.?) I'd also like to try another new restaurant and I think there's one at DTD. Anyone know anything about that? There's the new Cat Cora place at the Boardwalk so that may be one to try also. We have a gift card for Bonefish Grill and there is one nearby in the Orlando area so we could go there too. I've never been to our local one so going to the one in Florida would be a new experience.
Since I'll be limited with my mobility this trip I'm trying to think of fun and easy to maneuver activities. Has anyone done the balloon ride at DTD? That might be fun for us to try. We'll also catch Bob Jackson and Elliot Dyson at the resort. Then there's Dole Whip at the Poly and maybe fireworks too. Any ideas that you might have for us would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
I also asked about getting a wheelchair at the resort, and they noted it on my ressie just in case I need to go that route. There's a $300 plus charge that gets refunded to your credit card when its returned. I'm going to check the Spirit Airlines website regarding wheelchair assistance just in case I need it at the Orlando Airport. I have visions of us in mile long security lines which will be really tough on my knees. I'm trying to cover any scenarios that might be difficult for me to handle this trip.
So, enough of that! Its a new year and time to get a fresh start and get a handle on things around here. I'm going to tackle our home office today and begin to get things organized for tax time. I bought a huge box of brown envelopes just for that purpose. I also plan to take a walk at the mall which my Dr. recommends to build my strength and stamina. My gym membership is on hold right now due to the surgery and treatment. I may re-activate that soon so I can get back in the pool. At least I won't have to worry about my hair getting wet cause I barely have any. LOL! I will wear one of those silly bathing caps just so I don't scare anyone. I never realized that I have such a fat head but when I order head wear form the ACS/TLC website, I have to order a size large.
Tracy, We did have a nice time at our get-together. It was a late lunch, early evening type thing so when everybody went home I just crashed for a couple of hours and left my kids,their spouses and hubby to fend for themselves.
Julie, most of the pictures of Scott are on my DD Lauren's website...smalley.smugmug.com. I also have a few on my Carepages site. If you PM me your email address, I'll send you an invite to view it.
Amy, Scott had a very Merry Christmas and is blessed to have such a loving and generous extended family and group of friends. Lauren and Sean are so touched by all the gifts he received starting with the 2 showers then the gifts after he was born. And to think Lauren was worried that she would have to go out and buy a boy wardrobe but everyone else took care of that. Then came Christmas with more clothes and toys. What a lucky baby!
Before I go, I have to mention a great gift that I received for Christmas. My son Steve and his wife Sue bought me a Sony Reader!!!! I was just so surprised and thankful for such a perfect gift that I just started crying. Of course I've been so emotional lately with everything that is going on. They know how much time I have on my hands right now, and how much I love to read so it truly was the perfect gift!
So with that said, have a wonderful day everyone!!!!!
