I have had a rather busy second half of the week culminating in a team night out at an escape room and a celebration team meeting. So trip preparations have gone a little on the back burner. I still got everything done that I needed to do with just the packing now outstanding. Having said that, about 75% of what I need to take is all piled up in our spare room/ walk in wardrobe. It just needs to find its way into the suitcase. A few things that I am planning to take are not quite dry yet and have been moved to the airing cupboard. I hope that they will be dry by tomorrow afternoon. If not, I can always add them to the suitcase later.
I wanted to share the piece of jewellery that "accidentally" fell into the shopping basket the other day. I had a "Heart of the Ocean" in my twenties and loved it. After many years of wearing it, I lost it. Now I have a new one, which will work really well with some of the dresses I am going to take.

Speaking of dresses, I have spent a happy morning trying on most of the dresses and I really like them. I have yet to try on the new gowns and the blue birthday dress, but i will put this right before the go in the suitcase.
I did own up to having a reservation for Boma this morning. Graham was OK with this as long as I pay, which I was happy to do. Of course, when I checked the price so that I could budget for this, I had a look at the menu. I noticed that they had completely revamped this and all my favourites have disappeared including the zebra domes. So I have now cancelled this. Instead, I made Graham promise that we will visit Jambo House one evening to get photos with the Christmas tree and get some zebra domes from Mara. He was only too happy to agree to this.
We have now come to a conclusion what to do for Thanksgiving dinner. The restaurant at Disney's Vero Beach Resort is currently being completely rebuilt and may or may not be open in time for Thanksgiving. I had kind of assumed that we would just eat there. I had a look around what other options there are and to my delight, I noticed that there is a Cracker Barrel in Vero Beach. That settled our dinner plans for Thanksgiving. I have to say, I am rather excited about having access to cheap and cheerful chain restaurants like IHOP, Cracker Barrel and Sweet Tomatoes. I suppose after 13 nights of multi course dinners, this will be just what the doctor orders.
