1 DAY TO GO . . .

     FRIDAY APRIL 22, 2011

     IT'S GOOD FRIDAY AND WE'RE IN FINAL PREPARATION MODE NOW.  MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED IN OUR BAGS AND ALL THE LAST MINUTE THINGS ARE PUT WHERE THEY SHOULD BE.  I KNOW WE DON'T LEAVE UNTIL SUNDAY, BUT ON SATURDAY WE'RE DOWN TO COUNTING HOURS, SO WE DON'T CONSIDER THAT AS A WHOLE DAY TO BE COUNTED, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE TO GET UP AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING TO GET TO THE AIRPORT FOR OUR 6AM FLIGHT.  LUCKILY THE ATLANTIC CITY AIRPORT IS NEARBY.

     THIS WAS A CUTE LAST DAY THING THAT MY SON DID THOUGH.  THIS IS HIS LETTER TO THE EASTER BUNNY, TELLING HIM THAT HE WOULDN'T BE HOME FOR EASTER THIS YEAR AND THAT HE'D BE ON THE DISNEY DREAM.  HE WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT OFFENDING THE EASTER BUNNY THAN ASKING FOR SOMETHING.  TOO FUNNY.
     WE HAD SOME PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO JOIN OUR EASTER CRUISE FISH EXTENDER LATE, AFTER OUR CUT-OFF DATE, SO I WAS TRYING TO GET SOME EXTRA STUFF INTO OUR SUITCASES TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WHEN WE'RE ON-BOARD.  RIGHT NOW IT'S TOUGH TO TELL WHAT I EVEN HAVE SINCE I'VE GOT SO MUCH IN OUR BAGS!  HAVE I MENTIONED BEFORE THAT I'M AN OVER PACKER?!  LUCKILY, SOME OF IT IS DESIGNED TO NOT COME BACK, SO THAT WILL AT LEAST BE A LITTLE LESS.  I HOPE THE FISH EXTENDER GIFTS WE GET AREN'T BIG!
     WE'RE FLYING SPIRIT AIRLINES (THE KING OF FEES) AND THEIR BAG WEIGHT LIMIT IS NOW ONLY 40LBS EACH (LOWEST IN THE INDUSTRY).  SO I BORROWED A HAND HELD BAG SCALE TO WEIGH THEM BEFORE GOING TO THE AIRPORT AND I'M RIGHT AROUND 38LBS EACH, SO WE SHOULD BE GOOD.  OF COURSE THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE OUR BACKPACKS.  THANK GOODNESS THEY DON'T WEIGH THEM TOO.  MY SON'S ISN'T BAD, BUT MINE'S HEAVY!  lol
     SEA YA REAL SOON!   ºOº
TONIGHT'S MOVIE IS "TANGLED".  I KNOW WE RENTED ONCE ALREADY, BUT IT WAS REALLY GOOD AND IT'S ONLY OUR SECOND VIEWING.  THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PIXAR MOVIES LIKE "UP" AND "WALL-E", BUT WE HAD SEEN THOSE NOT IN OUR LIST RIGHT BEFORE WE STARTED OUR MOVIE COUNTDOWN.
