Pre-trip countdown

[Johnie]

lol that is a fun summer haircut!

[Dawn]

It was actually cheaper than his regular cut because it's all done with clippers instead of scissors.

[Esmeralda]

Wow! Love that haircut, so cool! Way to go Steven!

Just been looking at the BBC weather forecast for Orlando.

32 and rain everyday sinking to a mere 26 at night.

A lot can change in 17 days though
I admit to being weary of the rain too for our trip nearly as much as the heat! When we usually go in December, we very rarely see rain.

Wednesday 28th July

TINK!!!!!

Weather!!!! Come on girl, sort it out.

Anyway Adrian didn't completely flip over Steven's hair.

Last night I repacked Steven's hand luggage for the second (and definitely not last) time. He has colouring stuff, a few little maths toys his DS, his lanyard and pins, and his camera. He'll get a new game for his DS at the airport as a surprise but Daddy needs to sort that out.

We still haven't got the bags down from the attic (have we Adrian) so still have random things sitting in an open suitcase on the dining room floor. Auntie Jo doesn't even have a bag or case yet.

Steven is off to a friend's house shortly so I might rearrange all these things and then repack his hand luggage. Oh and need to order a couple of extra SD cards - 2 cameras and 2 video cameras.

Toy Story 3 on sunday.

Sounds like your well organised Dawn.

Am so jealous, got ages before our trip back

[Dawn]

Auntie Jo phoned earlier to ask me how big the hand luggage could be. I think she was actually stood in a shop with a measuring tape but I didn't like to ask.

Friday 30th july

Two weeks today we'll be leaving for the Gatwick Travelodge.

I had cake for breakfast today.

Adrian has been ordered to get up into the loft and get the bags down tomorrow.

Steven has his first senior karate class tonight with his nunchucks.

[Dizneyblonde]

Great to talk to you mate!

Just a thought though...are pins allowed in hand luggage?

We didn't risk it last year just in case but would hate for them to be confiscated

[uscwest]

Sounds like you are well organized Dawn. My goodness that is a lot of money that Steven has. I don't think I normally have that much. LOL.

The next couple of weeks will just fly by for you.
