Welcome once again to the ABCs of Trip Reporting; An Alphabetical Approach to Disney Touring. (That was the long version of my title that won’t fit on the space for a title.) Here we are… ready to start another thread for our Ladies’ Trip Extravaganza!! Of the 12 days, we have made it all the way through Day 1 and a half. So that right there ought to give you a hint of just how fast this thread moves. OK, so we have a long, long, long way to go, but this thread does move at a pretty quick clip. We may not get through the content quickly, but there is a lot of utterly GREAT chatter. So, I can’t promise this tale will be told in a hurry, but I can promise, updates a couple times a week, LOTS of great company, occasional dubious joking around, support and listening ears in life’s tougher moments, a lot of chatter about who likes cabbage and who doesn’t, gigantic cheers for you when something good happens, pictures of our adventures last summer and a whole bunch of commentary of all manner of stuff. We welcome anyone and everyone, and encourage your participation! (Lurkers, we know how to find you…death by tickling is a tough way to go!) And who knows, contests with some really cool prizes can pop up at any time!

If you’re new around here, and just joining in, you can find the first thread here:

HERE

But the quick version of our introductions is:



From left to right: LeeAnn ,extraordinary mom of 5, wife to a pastor, elected school board member of the 2nd largest district in Oregon, and all-around busy lady- beautiful in every way; Mary (Maroo to most of us), angel in DISguise who pours her life out over and over every day, lover of life, servant to the core. Me, Liesa, mom to 5 amazing kids, wife to an all-around great guy, missionary in Central Asia until last month for 10 years, and instigator of the trip.

If you are interested in the myriad of hopes and dreams resting on this week, or getting to know us better, you can read it all

HERE,, and HERE,, and HERE.

Now don’t be shy! Let us know what you are thinking, encourage us, let us get to know you, just feel free to share whatever’s on your mind. It’ll only be as fun as you make it- remember, as with all things in life: You’ll get out of this, as much as you put into it. Until Next Time…


Have a Magical Day!
 
Now, for those of you who love a schedule, here is a handy way for you to follow along. Of course, no trip report would be complete without a few twists and turns along the way- I’ll leave those swerves off the path to tell their tale in good time.

Yeah, sorry. I learned my lesson last time by not taking enough TOC places. Maybe we need a new saying: All is fair in love and TRs.
