Ohhh.... that makes me sad. That's the place my Grandma used to like to go for Mother's Day. *Sigh* I miss her so much.

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!!

Gina - I just saw that you started a TR (I was off of the boards for awhile). Cute poem. I can't wait to see CA through your eyes. One day I would love to go there as well.

Ok now you are making me question my decision to do Steakhouse 55 instead of Napa Rose with your "holy drool"
Glad you are having a great time.

Well today is the last day! We are taking the red eye back home to Boston tonight...I must say i am Ready to get home to our animals and our newly painted house..I can't believe after 3 years I will no longer have boring white walls!
Luckily we still have today to buzz around until our shuttle pics us up at 6:10.We've had a great time out here and i have about 700 pictures to show for it..so be prepared for a VERY picturesque trip report when we return
I do have an awful cold going on though...and last night we just stayed in the room instead of heading to DL for the fireworks ...luckily we could see them from our balcony so all was not lost!!
I will check in once the jet lag wears off and hopefully have an update up by Tues evening...it will be fun to go back and start from the begining of the So-Cal portion of our trip..it seems so long ago!!
See ya real soon!!

Hope you will feel better soon! Nice to bundle up and see the fireworks on your own terms.

Looking forward to your scenic journey TR!

Wishing you a safe and uneventful flight home.

I'm torn on the subs. I like the view, but my friend Carol was riding when the DL earthquake happened, and she said it really sloshed around like a toy in a bathtub. DH has a disability, so maybe I'll talk him into going to the handicap accessible version.

 

[travelmel]

You know how I feel...

Love The Subs!

 

[kaoden39]

I hope you feel better. I look forward to the rest of your trip report. And I for one won't do the subs. I was scared to death of the subs as a kid. I am claustrophobic so they are my NO.

 

[Mark Mason]

Well...it's the 12th already! Are you wasting time unpacking before you post? LOL! Hope it was a good trip!
