Ha ha, thanks! I can't work out how to get it next to my wedding photo though (like how yours is laid out). It took me about an hour to re-do my animated sliding userbars thingy...and I'm supposed to be the one in our house who is good with technology!!

Great post, Cheryl!
I would love to go and since I'll be hopefully "retiring" in 2011, this will be a great retirement gift!
Right now, I just have to wait and see. Since I've never flown out of the U.S., I would have so many questions, which I'm sure fellow world travelers would love to answer!!
This is definitely on my must-plan-and-think-about list!

I had to work and work on that too. Try putting and "L" at the beginning and the end of "IMG" on your BRIDAL picture. As in "IMGL" and "/IMGL" but with the [ ] brackets. It should hold your bridal picture to the left and push everything after it to the right.

My DH thought it sounded like a good retirement trip also. He'd retire a few months after the trip. he has flown overseas before but I never have. So it'll be a learning experince for me as well.

Yay - it worked, thanks Minnie Lor!!

"It can't be a belated birthday present" I thought, "we've only exchanged one letter each so far, surely she wouldn't be going to the expense of sending me a gift?". So I opened it reeeeeeally carefully, and inside (meticulously wrapped) was this:



HOW SURPRISED AND EXCITED WAS I??????

Actual merchandise from Tokyo Disney!! Bless her, she knows I love Disney and living in Tokyo, the parks are only 40 minutes from her office, so she went after work one night and bought me these - an insulated cup, two Stitch pens and some Japanese candy!! There is even the DisneySea 'Spring Carnival' themed carrier bag that they came in.

I was absolutely blown away by her generosity when, to be honest, we barely know each other yet. It has absolutely made my day, week and probably, month. And I just wanted to share it with you all because I know you'll be so much more impressed than my DH was..!

NB Apologies the pic is so big - I resized it in Photobucket but it refuses to display it any smaller than this here..??

How sweet is that?! That was so nice of her. Thank you for sharing. It brought a smile to my face as well.

That is so neat!! Very cool!! Sounds like you found yourself the perfect penpal!

DH said yes! We are in, and the kids too!!! We are DVC members so, it shouldnt be that hard to save the airfare and tix over 3 years..

That's awesome! The numbers continue to grow...

Perhaps we should start a list of who's going, so we can keep a count?

Oh wow - what a wonderful thing for her to do. With generousity like that, she'd fit in here on the boards. I can't begin to imagine how delighted you must've been when that arrived.

By the way, I love your ticker - it's so cool that quite a few of us already have them... anyone else?

Thanks for the hint - I was having problems with mine, that's a good tip.

I'm so happy to see so many other PassPorters interested in this! And now I've got some good websites and books to check out, so to everyone who posted that!

Caty~Bug (the birthday girl) picked out our new ticker!
