(how about a little but of some Disneyland Gumbo) = YUM!!



Just sent out an email to a TA who is currently out at the D23 Expo.....
expressing interest in doing 9 days out in So Cal -
(I am thinking this is easier on the TAs than an overseas DISney adventure)



3 days at Napa / Sonoma
3 at San Fran
and......

3 out at DISneyland:woohoo:
for either April or May '18.


DAPPER DAYS???? I just thought about this......



So .....

Quick update.......:-)



Coming into work today, saw three car accidents on the highway in just 20 minutes.......
etc etc etc - So heck yes, I am driving very defensively and being aware that we have A LOT of first time visitors in our city. Staying safe as well -



Very surreal - like when we hosted the Super Bowl -
ie = the whole dang world is on our front door step.....


Very very busy -
and we are only on day one of this.


AND.......
the second reason for this real quick update is
-



I called GoCollete.com
to inquire about this vacation (because a few weeks back, New Orleans and some surrounding areas were having issues with their levee systems).....


and they said that they are aware of whats going on and should there be issues that would result in a cancelation of this vacation they will email me / voice mail me.....
and she proceeded to ask me a few questions to make sure she has all the contact info she needs just in case -:sad:

Got off the phone & I tell you what, I just sat there for a few minutes in stunned silence before I began to see and hope for the best for all in Cajun country as well as us here in Texas.


SO everyone, please be aware that Collette is aware of my alternatives (they are suggesting if they have to cancel, I could get my money back, find alternative vacation in that time frame or what she like to hear was I don't mind rescheduling for this one or an alternative Colette vacation come April or May '18) - so cross your fingers on this one.


and with that - until Sunday -

A very appropriate song to play as this one was played during Katrina...


and it was during that time it was
a very humbling experience when you are at work and you look up to see a bus load of people coming your way (from Louisiana) and one lady asked for a cup of water...

I gave it to her and just sat there in amazement as she was crying with her hands trembling holding the water - so appreciative of my little act of kindness -:)


State Farm is here -
Others as well.........
We are ready to assist.:grouphug:



More updates to follow I promise -




ANYWHO -
Pssstttt!!!!! I finally finished buying a gazillion things from Ebay and Amazon for my birthday December 30th:bday:
(will post a pic of ALL what I have bought as what you saw earlier was just but a small sampling of what I have been up to)

with 'Mannheim Steamroller' on the 28th....Details will be up on my Adventures n America TR
