Holy moly, that girl you described had a whole lot of Dooney Bags! How on earth did she pay for her vacation too!?

Can't wait to hear your wrap up thoughts on the trip.

I haven't mini-golfed in years. Looks like fun! What a great idea for killing time on leaving day.

So sad it's over. Get to planning another trip so I have something to read.

Thanks for writing this...your a really good writer!

I hope you get to go back in the fall to see your brother!
It was a great trip! Very different from our other trips as it was so long!

Yes, I hope that I can go down in October, it would be fun to get to visit!

I bet you're about ready to be done with this by now! Can't believe it's been over 11 months now since you've been back!
It is a bit of a relief, although I think part of my problem was trying to update while in school. I was always so tired by the time I got home that I never had any energy to put into the report.

Does Alex shoot guns? My dd gets stopped all the time in security to get her hands swabbed, because of gun powder residue.
Nope, no guns in this family.

We will see!

I'm glad you guys made it home with no trouble and I'm sure you were really happy to be home and comfortable. Its always the worst to be sick away from home.
Yep, I had a great trip but by the end I was just so grateful to be going home to my own bed.

Yes, definitely try out one of the mini-golf courses, they are lots of fun!

Awwww, it is so sad when you are leaving a resort that you only stayed in for five days for me much less two weeks, uggghhh... must've been tough And wow, that's crazy you got to the airport so early! A very prompt family I see... yes, I do see But at least you got to have Chick-Fil-A, though I'm sure I saw it at the Mall I visited in Quebec... maybe it's just in Quebec
Hmmmm, maybe it was something similar to Chick-Fil-A, unless they have come to Canada recently.

Glad you got one last dose of Disney magic at Winter Summerland. I love playing there. So much fun.
Nope, two weeks is the perfect length, you are ready to go home by the end whereas with just a one week vacation you are left wishing for just one more day

Well, the next "vacation" I need to plan is my trip out West to visit my Dad at the end of the summer. It will be just me going, Alek and Erich are going out in June before Erich heads to Disney. Since it will be just me my dad said that we can do things "my way". That means more sightseeing and less dangling over cliffs for photo ops.

I really enjoyed your TR. I would love to do 2 weeks one day. I don't think I will ever convince my DH though. MAybe if I tell him we can do Universal and Sea World and maybe a trip to visit my family while we are there. I have cousins in Orlando and an aunt 20 minutes away drom Disney and I never even call when I am in the area.

The trip to see your dad sounds nice, especially not hanging over cliffs for pics.

Yeah, throw in some non-Disney stuff, that will sweeten the pot. I don't think Alek and Erich would have agreed to the two weeks if it hadn't been for the addition of Universal to the itinerary.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip with us

The mini golf course looks very cute. We have only been to the Fantasia one, maybe we can try the summer one next time.

I can't wait to see where Erich winds up in WDW. He is probably going to run into many Lifelong Dreamer fans who have seen him on your TR.

I just caught up with the last few installments, its been very crazy around here. I started a new job, and took Nova to Disneyland this past weekend to celebrate. While there Mom called to tell me my Grandfather had passed away (Saturday).

I'm going to miss these updates very much.

So when is the next trip?!

I can't believe it's over. (:

I loved following along and meeting your family.

Glad you got in a round of mini golf (Mark always beats me by one or two...so infuriating. So glad you liked CSR.
