So this whole packing thing...yeah its kicking me in the bum! We spent all day ok well a few hours today packing up somethings in our living room, not only was it hot but it was muggy and boy that did a number on me!

Ended up taking a 2 hour nap and woke up wondering what train had hit me! Houston we have a problem! Next weekend, we have family and friends coming to help but i think we are way over our heads here with the packing!

That and if you live in the same house for 30+ years expect to find the weirdest things. And if you ever collect Disney Memorabilia you will end up having a hard time deciding what the right set of things to put up in your 2 bedroom apartment will be!

We have too many things and well are not going to be giving up any of them! Too much money invested in it!

So hopefully we can be creative on how to display all of them!

The walls are bare now and it looks so naked! Today I tried to get up and go to work and then remembered oh wait I don't have to I am unemployed!

So thats where we are for the packing, if i don't update i might have packed myself in a box and marked it "ship to Orlando, She is done with this packing thing"

On another note, we got more plans made for our trip back to Connecticut for my cousin's Confirmation!

So now we have:

Airfare to CT
Rental Car from National
A Suite at the Hilton Garden Inn (for the same price as a regular room! SCORE!!!)
Airfare back home to FL

So we are all done planning that trip!

And my grandma is all set for her ticket back to CT. We just have to figure out how to get her to the gate since we won't be able to.

I have to find out if there is a way to get her escorted there for safety concerns. While she is pretty there, she doesn't travel, and we are afraid she will not find the gate, miss the plane and will be stuck there.

EEK!

Oh and we are now contemplating driving the whole way rather then take the autotrain to try and save money as it will not cost as much to drive all the way.

Will keep you updated!

I will try and take photos of the boxes and the dissaray if my mother doesn't flip out!
