    The Final Frontier (An Alaska Trip Report - UPDATED 4/25)

    Hi :wave2: Sorry I've been MIA again. It's the usual excuses, a gas leak in town, flat tire......oh....wait, no, those are the Amtrak excuses for why the train is stopped. Hang on. *Flips through notes* Ah, here we are. Busy time at work, parenting a toddler. Those sound more like it. I did...

    The Final Frontier (An Alaska Trip Report - UPDATED 4/25)

    I'm here!!! And going to try and stay here. I mean, technically he was in Hawaii if memory serves. Which it might not. I have a toddler, and she takes up most of my brain power.

    Oh gosh no!!! You didn't have to explain yourself at all, the timing alone (being in the middle of a pandemic and all that) was enough for me to know why. I'm not mad at all, and please don't take anything I say as critical. I'm more just bummed we seem to always miss each other due to things...

    Hi. Me again :wave: Seriously, next time you decide to play Tobacco Road you have to let me know. It's only about 45 minutes from my house, and @pkondz can vouch that I'm excellent company. Not necessarily on the golf course. I think the maximum number of holes I've made it through is 5. Then...

    What is one thing you regret not doing when you had a chance?

    Competing in the Miss North Carolina pageant

    DVC members (spouses) having separate DVC site accounts

    I feel like I set up my husband's without having to call. But it was a couple of years ago, so I'm sorry I don't remember exactly how I did it. I just know I did because he saw the tapstile turn purple with mine and wanted to know why his didn't :rolleyes:

    What has been your most emotional house move?

    It's the same for me. Our new house is our dream forever home, but I still stood in DD's empty nursery the night before we closed and bawled my eyes out. It was the house DH and I started our life in, and the one we brought both our furbaby and our human baby home to. Funny story though, about...

    Sitting with your significant other

    My husband has always sat next to me in booths. I thought it was weird at first, but now I'm used to it. The only exception was Jersey Mike's, because their booths were smaller and I needed the elbow room to eat my sub. However ,now that we have a toddler, we tend to sit across from each other...

    Outer Banks?

    We absolutely love Miller's Waterfront Restaurant in Nag's Head. The food is great, and it sits right on the sound so the atmosphere is perfect. We like to get an outside table around sunset. It's a little bit of a drive from Duck, but there is an aquarium on Roanoke Island. It's really fun, and...

    Pool hopping

    We are going in early May, and I know that the DVC site still says "in the first phase of reopening" that pool hopping isn't allowed for members, but does anyone know if this is opening back up? Are we still the the "first phase?"

    10 weeks pregnant

    So I had HORRIBLE morning sickness. Found a SeaBands brand gum that I think was ginger and mint. I told my husband that it helped with the nausea only because it was so weird tasting that it distracted me from how I felt :rotfl2: I don't know how long you have to travel, but I went when I was...

    Can I get a name for the order?

    I use my husband's first name, as it's a one-syllable, 3 letter name. Mine can be misheard so I'm never 100% sure it's me being called. On a funnier note, I was ordering at Starbucks in MK, and since I know lots of people give fun names, I gave the name my husband calls me "Pookie" because I...

    Borrowing Points Restriction

    Any rumors on when this will be lifted? I'll admit that I've been somewhat under a rock lately, and we hadn't seriously started looking at our trip for next year until the last couple of days. We bought a low points contract (only 60) because at the time it made sense for us, and the idea that...

    Ours generally has a rack AND a little display. We're fancy. It's changed a lot just in the last 5 years or so. A lot of what I remember from my trips in high school has either changed or been torn down. But I'm always up for a trip, so it doesn't take much to convince me to go. One of the...

    I loved that line!!! That and his response in the chat when they tell him that everyone is watching I feel like they're getting better, but I do agree. Only so many costumes and plushes my kid needs. No. Verbolten replaced Big Bad Wolf. It's only a 3 hour drive from us, so I've been there...

    Joe is a Ravenclaw, much to my annoyance. We have Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw ornaments for our tree. I'll be interested to see what Eleanor sorts as. I highly recommend the movie. It's on Netflix, and it's a good fantasy/comedy/romance/adventure. It has something for everyone. The Martian is...

    Sooooooooooooooo......................yeah. Hi again. Remember me? I used to be a faithful reader/follower, then, I dunno.....had a kid or something that sucked up all pretense I ever had of free time. And then I went back to work, struggled with Postpartum Anxiety, and then, oh YEAH a pandemic...

    This Trip Report Is Under Refurbishment For Your Future Enjoyment (UPDATED 9/13 with final bonus chapter)

    So I'm still catching up on the last few chapters. But this made me think about the conversation I had with my husband. In the past couple of years, it's become a tradition for my dad, Joe, and Dad's friend Craig to go play golf. And nowhere fancy, just a small local course. That evening as we...

    What are your weird eating habbits?

    I do this too! It's always awkward at potlucks because everyone will exclaim "Oh the ______ is delicious!" and I have to admit I haven't gotten to it yet. I also have to eat eggs first. I can't stand anything less than steaming hot eggs, so I shovel them in before they get a chance to get cold.

    This Trip Report Is Under Refurbishment For Your Future Enjoyment (UPDATED 9/13 with final bonus chapter)

    Isn't this the only reason Disney trips end? Oh no. No no. I would be so hangry. Actually last Sunday I got tired of waiting at the breakfast place we'd picked (it had been 45 minutes) and deliberately chose a cafeteria because at least then I knew I wouldn't have to wait for my food. You...
