We all have grown up fantasies and Fairy tales and always wondered how it would be to be in a fairy land or the Magic World. My dreams seemed to have come true , only a bit late in life! Well i am walking into the third decade in my life but still excited about going to the Disney World Orlando.

Our trip starts with a jinx , first with the shuttle breaking down on the way to the airport and second with our flight ...

... stream - see video below. Julie stood next to a huge stuffed alligator in a gift shop on international drive (see picture).

In the afternoon went to wet n wild and had another go on some rides. I carefully stayed out of the sun to give the sunburn chance to heal.

all told a lazy day .... but a nice one. Also had some chocolate covered pretzels... yum yum...

... along the way - Lonely Planet travel guide, phrase book, currency (coins and bills, including a 10,000 yen note worth over $100!), Japanese newspaper, plus assorted food products covered with Japanese writing and imagery.

As we approached Brooklyn the roads seemed to narrow and the Denali seemed to grow in size. Entrances and exits appeared quickly and Babs and Laura had to keep a sharp eye out for all of our turns and they kept telling me to "just breathe.". Then came the side streets where we were to drop off Laura: one way streets with parking on both sides and the cars double parked. The Denali left very little room for error and Babs was often hanging out ...

... like the one below taken at Alma)! As always, will keep you guys posted... Besitos... xoxoxox Cindy August 26, 2008 Another week of exploration adoration! I made friends with the musician that lives across the alley from me. As I sit in the living room typing away (even now) he is hard at work practicing for his local solo gigs. He is a singer, acoustic guitar, and songwriter. I really took to one of his newer songs he has been working on, so I shouted across ...

... home.  The surgeon said that it IS a simple procedure and he can do it right there in the office.  He won't have to shave off any of her hair and my dad can stay right there in the room.  The only thing is that she would need to keep the stitches in for two weeks and she doesn't want to go to Florida with them in, so she's going to get it done the week after we get back.  Whew, at least that all worked out. It's always something ...

... to visit some Disney resorts. I just LOVE the Disney resorts, they're all so magical, unique and exciting while still remaining completely relaxing. Some resorts we'll be visiting for their restaurants and some we'll be visiting just because we love them. My favorite resort on property is the Polynesian so we'll be spending a lot of time there. Actually, our favorite Disney tradition is at the Poly! On every trip we spend a ...

... at its best. We went into Mickey Mercantile and looked around. I wound up buying the Hawaiian Stitch that I had wanted and it was only $13 which I thought was pretty good. I also wanted a Minnie stuffed animal to go with my Mickey, but I decided to wait and see if I could find it cheaper outside of Disney. Mom bought Mickey coconut patties which we wound up eating the next week and were so good! We then walked around the entire top ...
