Thank you all for the pixie dust and kind thoughts
. We are trusting that God will take care of what we can't. Besides, after the miracle of Lysi surviving Neuroblastoma and chemo and low counts and related illnesses.... how can this be a big deal?
Trip preparation proceeds apace (I have always wanted to use that word).
We still have not found Misting Fans, so I guess our trip to Orlando will include a visit to Wal-Mart
. But, I have that marked on Google Earth... LOL. I still can't see Give Kids the World Village on Google Earth due to clouds, even with the updated satellite images. Lysi is convinced that GKTW is hidden by a magical mist
. It sure seems like it. That will just add to the mystery and magic.
Knowing how I try to PLAN for EVERYTHING... you will not be surprised to hear that I have begun tracking Tropical Storms. I am not sure how I think this will help, but, hey, if you are going to be obsessive, why leave the weather out?
Someone mentioned entertainment on the plane. I am in the process of "ripping" audio files into MP3 format for my player
. We can use it on the plane. I have the entire books of Psalms and Proverbs (KJV-Dollar Store disks), a kids musical, the Disney "Friends" song CD, LOTS of my favorite music and am adding the last book in the "Mitford" series, "Light from Heaven." We are still planning on a Leap Frog, and have some Disney books for me to read to her. We plan to check out some books on tape with "read-along" books. Add coloring/ activity books and renting a video player on the plane, and that should about cover it. Oh wait, I forgot about travel games. She loves card and dice games. This could be some really good Daddy-Daughter time for us on the plane
.
Time is starting to fly.... if only we could figure out where her Disney rain poncho is.... stay tuned for updates on that.
