Best Laid Plans

Today is the day we go to Disney World.


Last night I dreamt that we overslept and woke up at 7:30am. Our flight was scheduled to depart at 6am. That would not have been good. Fortunately, we didn't oversleep and woke at 3am. Ugh. Backing out of the garage, I realized that I forgot my camera so I ran back in and grabbed it. Whew!

We arrived at the airport in plenty of time, Princess awake and excited. We went to self check to print our boarding passes only to find that our Portland to Salt Lake City flight was delayed. Very delayed. There was no way to make our Orlando connection. After standing in line with all the others, we were rescheduled on the next available flight to Orlando . . . leaving in about SEVEN HOURS. Grrrr..... We gave Princess the option of staying at the airport or going home for a couple of hours. She chose to stay, so here we sit with lots to entertain us (laptop, DVD player with LOTS of movies, DS, iPod Touch, iPhones). Fortunately, I prepared a lot of food for us. And now, rather than arriving at a very lovely 4:30pm, we arrive at a very late 11:30pm.

I guess we could have slept until 7:30. Man, I'm tired. Please forgive any grammatical and/or spelling errors.

  2. Gotta love Picnik!! We're doing okay . . . just exhausted. I think we'll all be napping on the plane - once we get on a plane.

  5. Oh, no! But at least you have enough stuff to keep you busy at the airport. Imagine traveling before ipods and portable dvd players. Yikes! You would be tearing your hair out.
    Have fun and use sunscreen!

  6. Oh Bernie . . . I can't even imagine not having our modern conveniences! I'm sure we'll have fun, but will pass on the sunscreen. Gotta get some good Vitamin D!! :)
