7 days!!! (Samara not welcome... *eek*)

*hack* okay, time for an update *wheeze*

I’ve been sick since Monday (it’s Wednesday now) so I’m channeling my inner surly old geezer.

Get off my lawn!… ehm sorry… couldn’t suppress it.

Anyway, before I fell ill Monday I was doing the single digit dance. That means we’re getting so close to the holiday we can feel it. I love that feeling. As of today we only have a week to go, which means the Noodles have started the ‘by this time next week’ game. Well, it’s not so much a game, as us fantasizing how great the holiday will be. Because we’re a little bit nuts (the happy kind, though)

So by this time next week we’ll be in the airplane and… oh never mind, I won’t bore you with the

details. Pretty sure my butt will feel like a wooden board by this time next week, and I’ll be counting down the minutes till landing. *kicks inner surly geezer* Down, surly!

Back to what I was saying… what was I saying? Oh right, a week to go. I found out I had accidentally booked a 2 door car, rather than a four door one. I don’t know what happened there, but I must have had a lapse of sanity. Of course my first reaction was to stay calm and fix it, since that way easy. I lie of course, and there may have been signs of Chanti panic.

 

In the end it all worked out fine, and we got a nice 4 door car. We even got €3,- back, so yay us. *sarcastic smile*

Getting the car is one of Daan’s favourite moments. I’m less fussy, though I really don’t want to drive in a car that kind of looks like a white banana again. That’s just embarrassing. Or one that’s the size of our shed. Okay, maybe I’m a little picky. *sticks out her tongue*

Anyway… the ‘crisis’ (and I mean that in the lightest possible way anyone could ever use the word crisis) was averted. Elora will have her own door to get into the car with, and all is right with the world. There will be no throbbing veins on my forehead.

Let’s see, what else is new? Last time we checked the flight still looked good. We fly standby, which always gives me a miniature ulcer. It’s worth it tough, the price difference is quite significant. So fingers crossed it will remain good.

Universal tickets came, so yay on that. We talked about not going, because the ticket prices are getting more and more ridiculous every year, but we had to really. The temptation of Harry Potter’s Forbidden journey, and the new ride we haven’t tried yet, were too great. Let’s not forget the Butterbeer… another great incentive to go *grin*.

 

It will be a hoot. We officially got Elora off school too, so no stress there. We’ll arrive 3 days earlier than planned, and so I’ve decided we’re going to take a trip to Universal on the Friday, before we actually stay at the Disney hotel. We have some extra time to kill, and it should be a laugh.

Counting down the days. Am glad I’m sick now, so I will feel better when we go. Of course, knowing our luck, Daan and Elora will get sick during the holiday, or right before the trip. Last time Elora had a double ear infection when we had to fly. It was a jolly trip *cringes*.

Despite my slight cynicism, I’m really excited. I hope I won’t be too tired to blog during my trip. I flaked out on the blog during the cruise, and I really regret it. I love capturing a little bit of the holiday magic and reading blogs back.
