Well....I get to say it now....WE LEAVE FOR CALIFORNIA TOMMOROW!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a poem to express my excitement....bare with me I have had a chinese drink and a pumpkin blizzard this evening...talk about sugar shock!

"clearing throat..." ahem ahem

Twas the night before CALI....
by me

Twas the night before Cali, and all through the house
Every creature was stirring because of THAT MOUSE!

The suitcases were packed with ever most care
In hopes that at Long Beach Airport they would find themselves there!

My sweetie and I snuggled, tucked into our bed
with visions of Donald and Goofy dancing in our heads!
With tickets and luggage tags all safely in place
It was very hard to wipe the smile off my face.
When down in the kitchen there arose such a clatter
I sprang like a slinky to see what was the matter!
Away to the dining room I flew like the Incredible's DASH
and as soon as I saw them they scattered like a flash..
Amelia and Gordon, our two littlest cats
wanted to join us in Disney and chase Remy and the rats!
They climbed in the luggage and nestled inside..
Little did they know it would have been a LONG ride!

Once all was settled I went back to bed..
Now with more exciting thoughts in my head!

Like Buzz Lightyear, ToyStory, Grizzly and Thunder
Matterhorn, Indy, candy corn and others!!!
SO much to see !!
SO much to do!!!
I can't wait to live it up and report it all to all of YOU!!!!!


I will certainly have internet out in Cali..so be prepared for some updates LIVE from L.A. and Disney!!! See ya real soon!!

Sounds like it is going to be a great trip.
So looking forward to hearing all about the Halloween/Fall decorations.
Living vicariously through your trip should help make waiting for mine less painful.
Hope you have a marvelous time.

Thanks for checking in. The pictures are tiny, by the way. I've had that happen before, where i resized and they still looked huge on my computer, but they were small for everyone else.
Keep enjoying Cali!

I'm so happy you liked them!! Did you go to the one in Glendale? Isn't that place amazing?? Their desserts are really good too. Did you try the potato balls? They are good as well, but the others are my favorite. I could eat so many of those......I won't even say just how many.
