First off welcome back - glad to see you didn't get eaten by a bear!

You kept telling me to write.
And when I wrote,
you kept telling me to
write some more.

Who me?? I don't think I can be held responsible for this! This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope!

"Please make it stop! When will it end?"

Stuck in a moment you can't get out of...


Nary a note as far as the eye can see.

Notes that would be cheating! Notes are for the weak!


Yeah... not so much.
I'll be relying on my memory there.
And since I can't remember yesterday....
And this trip was in March.......

Try July 2016! "Yip looks like my family at Disney!" Maybe I should just post the pictures and my readers could write the story. Do you know I could be onto something here!

What all good TRs should have,
naturally.

So that's what I've been doing wrong!

The winner gets...
Canadian chocolate.

So if I win do I have to come and collect it or will you hand deliver it?


The critters in the above photo
are capybaras.

I knew that - Peter did a talk on Capybaras in prep school. It was most informative.

You weren't allowed to touch them,

Spoil sports - need to upgrade to the premium package!


Hmmm....
It's not that far from Phoenix to LA.

I like your thinking!

Shall we begin?

Let's!

:wave2:

I'm in! Dropped by your previous TR (after months of hibernation- DD says our annual Christmas newsletter is going to 5 pages long this year....) and saw that this new one had started. As usual, I won't participate in the quizzes so don't hold any updates waiting for me!

Never been to DL but it's on my list. DD went there with the high school band and loved it. We are heading to WDW for the the F&W Fest on the 19th, though, so I sure hope Irma finds someplace else to visit.
 


Hi Pkondz
I thought I may have made it a bit late but here are my answers

1 :- 06:00 hrs a's your leaving time
2 :- You fly and drive.
3 :- You are asked Do you have writen documentation for Kay to leave Canada.
4 :- Thin mints
5 :- The decor
6 :- Ice cream
7 :- Login
8 :- Reclining seats with foot rests.

Yes I had to Google Sauce Qui Pet I now now what it means you learn something new everyday when you read the dis thanks for educating this bear with very little brain.
Hope you had a good weeks holiday in the Candian west coast.Did you see the whales?
Can I have my alocated bonus points please for mentioning the word :- What

For reals? I missed by one post?

Yep!

(LOL! Obviously STILL can't count, eh @Captain_Oblivious ?)

Hmmm...
Obviously something I'm not
aware of here.


Was busy getting everything set for the collection of our Care Kits going with us to Sierra Leone, Africa. So exciting to see folks coming together to be a real and tangible blessing to a hurting world! If any of your readers want details, send them to me!

You heard her folks.
It's for a very good cause.
I've donated, myself.

I haven't donated myself,
because who would want that???

But I have donated.


Yes, I will be back to read and comment on Monday.

Standing by.

Have to... I invented this concept of giraffes and exploding helicopters. (I should be receiving royalties, you know. ;) )

Absolutely!
I'll give you 10% of all income.

Of course this TR actually
costs me money to run, so...

Shall I send you a bill for your share?
 
I did -- and I don't think google translate did a good job. "Save which can." Typing into google it says every man for himself. I guess google translate doesn't get idioms.

No I guess not.
The latter is more correct.


1. Presumably you do an early flight. I'd bet if you were by yourself, you'd go for the 6 am flight -- but with a teenager, you opt for the 8 am flight. So you leave your house around 6 am?

2. Fly to phoenix. Drive to LA? Looks to be a 5 to 6 hour drive.

3. Are you still constipated?

4. thin mints are a must eat

5. cute waiter

6. ice cream.

7. Ghost in the shell (I wanted to go with BATB -- but I'm guessing you opted for the D-box seats...and BATB wouldn't add much value with D-box).

8. all of the above. The new seat set ups at the theaters are nice. If all of the above is not an option, then I'll guess D-box since that is probably something you can't get in Canada. hahaha

Noted.

And of course we have D-box in Canada.
Except we hire Americans
to do the shaking for us.
 
Why yes, yes I am saying that this very moment. But it has nothing to do with your report.

I believe you.
I know how busy you are right now.
:hug:


I'm so glad you clarified that. I'd have worried.

That was for the benefit
of my many blind readers.


Of course. Ask me how I know. :rolleyes:

How do you know?

Tanya! (@mom3sonstt ) STAT! His giraffes need parachutes!!

Hmm... More things I don't know.

That list keeps growing!


Moi!

C'était difficile!!

J'espère que ce n'était pas trop dificile.

Can the winner request dark chocolate?

6:55 AM
Fly
Are you constipated??
Savannah Smiles
the cute waiter
Ice cream
BatB
reclining seats

Noted.
 
Yup. Totally had to google it. And thought about joining . . . but . . .

But? Another But?

What's with all the buts around here??



Um....


Don't answer that.

But (see what I did there?) :welcome: to the TR!


I will put up with a lot of ridiculousness for the chance to eat some chocolate. Yes, I could probably buy my own chocolate to eat for much less hassle, but FREE chocolate tastes the BEST.

::yes::

Oh, no. This is where the failure begins . . .

Nah. I'm sure you'll do just fine. :)

1. I don't think Kay does early. But I don't think you do late. I am going to go with 8am. She might be more amicable since it is the start of the trip.

2. BOTH!

3. Oooh. Apparently I haven't been around as long as I thought- or I skim more than I thought, because I have no idea!?!

4. By Girl Guide, I am assuming you mean Girl Scout? Is it called Girl Guide somewhere? You get Thin Mints and only Thin Mints because those are the only ones worth eating. (Oh wait, that might be MY opinion and not what you did!)

5. I don't picture Kay as the kind of girl that moons over a cute boy, so I am going to go with her favorite dish!

6. Ice Cream!

7. Beauty and the Beast

8. All of the above?!?

Noted.
I see the Girl Guide/Scout question was answered.
