Another trip planned - finally

[Wendy]

This is a first, me doing a pre-trippie :)

OK, as usual there will be me ......... Wendy and DH .......... Chris.

All I have done is finally booked the flights. I am amazed that there were still some flying club seats left at this late stage. I managed to use miles and upgrade vouchers and I got 2 premium economy seats for £477.52 :207: :207: If they hadn't been available we wouldn't have been going anywhere this year so as you can imagine I am really really happy :wiggle: :wiggle:

We are going on the 21st September and won't be home until 12th October :happybounce:

The things I need to do asap are:

Book the Hilton for the night before.

Book flights from Gatwick to Plymouth on the 12th October.

Find somewhere to stay - I'm not 100% sure what we will do yet, Chris would really like to go down to the Keys for a while, so I'm thinking maybe stay at a villa or possibly onsite for a week, go down to Keys and Everglades for a while and then back to a villa.

Book the rental car.

Already got annual insurance.

We have annual passes so we don't need Disney tickets.

I can't think of anything else - any ideas :D

Oooooooh! What fun--planning another trip! :D

What about a split stay? Part of the time on site (think free dining), then switch to a villa and visit other areas.

[Mari]

How fun!!!!! :)

Im so sorry we will miss you by a few days :(

I was thinking about a split stay Taja, it would depend on the cost though, but I will look into it.

I want to make this one different and a bit special, Chris is 50 in a few weeks and we weren't able to do what he wanted for his birthday :sigh:

[Wendy]

Im so sorry we will miss you by a few days :(

That's fantastic news Wendy - so glad you have another trip booked :hug2: Not too long to wait either! :wiggle:

[MystikPiglit]

So pleased to hear that you have a trip booked! Happy planning! :mickeybounce:

[Tink]

Hmmmmm, you could drive to Ft. Myers and take the high speed catamaran to the Keys. :yes: :D :D That would save a bit of the drive (and whoooooeeee, it's a long drive). Not sure how you'd feel about that, and if you wanted to stay a bit more than overnight, it might not be the best option. :unsure:

Sounds like your holiday is off to a good start though. :yes:

[Johnie]

Woohoo!! I LOVE planning!!

We're going to be there Oct 6-12th.
