Something About Nothing ... #12

[Bluer101]

We're arriving Sunday, staying at RPR.

We leave Sunday, short trip. We are staying at SF to give it a try, plus it was real cheap, $109 a night, plus platinum upgrade to a suite, not bad.

Going to spend most of the time using the resort and pool relaxing with pcstang's family.

October, bluer, squirlz hope you and your families have the chance to meet up !

I think you all have things in common and would enjoy spending time together with the families

Hope you enjoy it there

I went over to the place three times and dont think it would work for me

It was the food .......
And you all know I love to eat

We are doing it for the price really as it was too good to pass up.

Yes, both you and us love to eat so we will try. If not we can go next door to Bula!

To be honest, the biggest turn off is no EP. But this trip is not about doing rides really, just relaxing and doing Xmas stuff.

I think there is a lot to do at UO besides doing parks everyday

I think you all will be fine

Do EE for less wait in ride lines and hit the pools in the afternoon at the hotels

Does the decorations come out in the parks around dec 3?
Hotel decorations around the same time?

If I was there at that time I would spend a couple of days just checking all that out instead of rides

Have fun!

Well months have gone by with zero rain for where I live

Rain has started to fall
Whoopie !!

But with that, no tv
We have dish and lost our signal with the rain

It goes out for a bit and then comes back for a short time

Me and my insomnia won't like this later in the early morning hours.....

But I can sacrifice tv for the needed rain

Hopefully it will put out some of the fires we have here in georgia

Kolelby Sounds like your having an amazing time. Truly jealous! Here's hoping the weather is nice for you for the rest of your time there.

Schumi I'm hoping treezilla will last for a long long time. It may take up a large portion of my living room but it looks fab.

Ah Mac it's your son that hikes. I bet it's much better views in the US. Makes the climb worth while.

Icy this morning and the train hasn't got its heating on. It's freezing in here! Happy Tuesday everyone.

And to all those going to USO soon have great trips

If you're heading toward London BagO, wave to Hagrid on his bike. LOL Hope the heat on the train came on shortly after you posted.

Well, we have warmer weather, finally, at 40 degrees, but that means rain and not snow, so I am happy.

Sorry Mac's cats, she doesn't want a dog.

In and out today for errands

We leave Sunday, short trip this time. Are you coming in early or late?

Mid afternoon.

You might not need EP. I'd expect Saturday to get a little busy a time times, but otherwise, crowds shouldn't be too bad.

We're here for a while - I moved to Orlando two weeks ago. Hubby got a job working at Universal and started about two months ago.

Has anyone done the Gaylord Palms Ice thing? My SIL gave us a trip to it for a Christmas gift. It looks really neat but then I read about it being only 9 degrees in there! Please tell me it feels warmer than 9 degrees. I struggle in temps well above that.

Oh yes! I'd completely forgotten about the move! Whats it like living there? Is it everything you'd expected it to be so far??

Personally this trip don't care this trip about EP. This trip is about relaxing with family and friends.

Never did it, as my kids have no interest. But Gina did it, and said there are big warm jackets to wear while you tour. So, I think you will be fine. And from Gina's pictures, the hotel is gorgeous decked out in Christmas decor. She even decorated cookies, so maybe check on that if think kids would enjoy that activity too.

We will be down a couple of days before Christmas until NYE. So, if want to say hi, just let me know. Kids are not ready to go to Universal this time, but we will surely hit up CityWalk for some Toothsome.

Loving it!

Long day yesterday........got most of my shopping done thankfully, but I forgot how busy cities are at Christmas.......yep, pretty obvious but I usually avoid like the plague........but it was fun......at loads of street food at the Christmas markets which was nice........

Needed this morning to do some housework and laundry, so once that was done.......time to chill.......need to make a start on wrapping things at some point.......

Putting the trees up over the weekend so will wait till that's done I think........

Have a great Wednesday everyone..........

 

[Lynne G]

But, in honor of Schumi's Christmas present shopping, and Keisha's need for a camel (Since it is Wednesday today)

It was a dark and foggy.... not night, morning for us. 55 and loving the heat. LOL Everything is a soft gray. Hoping my luck is good, and the chance of severe storms is not in my favor.

Ah, yes the Christmas spirit, like the picture Robo.

Well, kids were not keen on a 5:35am flight, so we booked a flight that leave 10:30pm and gets in at 12:50am. They are night birds, so you'll see me probably sleeping most of the flight. Good thing though, we get a whole extra day that way. And not as tired. What do you think would be better for breakfast, The Kitchen or Trattoria del Porto? I figured we'd have a nice breakfast to start, and walk around CityWalk when all the crowds are in the parks.

So, have a great Wednesday, and yes, the week-end is slowly appearing in sight.

Fire up the coffee maker, put the tea pot on the stove, and enjoy the day.
