Thanks! You should get one email of details and four of pics (stupid gmail attachment limits) - turns out I took 19 pics. If you need info/details on any of them, just let me know.
I am a punctual person, and people who are late drive me insane! Especially those who are perpetually late. I have 2 ways to deal with this. The first is that I purposely tell the person a time 15-30 minutes earlier than I really want to meet, so when they're ';late' they actually end up arriving when I want to see them .The second is that I just leave them behind. This is the approach I would have taken with your SIL: if she is late, then everyone just go on ahead and she can catch up when she is ready. This is why people have cell phones, right? It's not like she couldn't find you later.
Well, that is advice for another trip. I can see why she drove you nuts, and I am astounded at your patience. You really do deserve a wonderful trip to DL!
She was holding back her family and no one met us at the meeting time....and trepan Edo does not seat you till your whole party has arrived...so we were stuck. Very annoying. The whole trip had stressful elements but also amazing ones...the rooms, the BC, the pool, seeing fireworks while riding big thunder, all amazing. The kids got to ride pretty much everything...they had fun...dad had a blast...success!
White Rose: why is your brother married to this shrew? I'm glad you were able to do this for your dad, but geez!
I think you are wise to not vacation with your SIL in the future. It sounds like you did a great job of carrying on despite all theMy SIL hates something so much and we made her bear it for a week. She did not make it easy on anyone, yes she is a royal PITA..she is still family. I would have dealt with it differently if the shoe was on the other foot...I would not have complained about a free trip.
Sigh. She raised 5 kids, and they are great kids. There are good things to say about her, I just will never ever go on vacation or plan a vacation involving her ever again.
Let's just say...It will be quite awhile till I spend a lot of time with her again. Lol.
I'm thinking there is a bit of confusion about loading the scooter...what I remember is that when a bus pulls up to a stop (resort or park) if there are scooters or wheel chairs waiting, they will load first through the back door. Only the party of the scooter/chair person can board with them. Everyone else waits, some more patiently than others, and when the driver finishes loading, securing, and bringing up the ramp, then others may board through the front door. If there are people already sitting in the seats where the scooter will be loaded and secured, they must move to other seats. If you mom is apprehensive about driving the scooter on or off the bus, and can walk, the driver will drive it for her.
Not True!!!! The drivers are not supposed to drive the scooters for you. They are very helpful and very patient, but they don't drive the scooters up the ramp. If you had an experience where they did, they were overstepping their role and responsibilities.
Last year was my first time with a scooter. OP, I never had trouble getting on a bus at the BC stop.
Good Luck to your Mom.
I've seen a driver help steer a scooter as the user had got themselves into an Austin Powers situation!
