I'm back....but it sure was a bumpy ride
(Moderators, I wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this so if it's in the wrong place please feel free to move it. Thanks.)

I will do a trip report - I've been writing it up slowly but for such a wonderful trip, this is one week I kinda wished hadn't happened. On Monday, our last day at Disney, mom called me - the Auto Train cancelled on us which means we were forced to drive home. Tuesday, as we were driving, mom called and told me Gertie, our bunny, died . Wednesday, because of all the stop and go traffic around DC, our left front brake overheated making it very difficult and stressful on us. And yesterday, the front left tire blew out. We did make it home safe and sound but it's just been a rough week.

I'll get back with the TR as soon as I can but it will probably be a couple of days.

Sorry to hear about all of that, it's not the way anyone wants to come home from Disney.

Darlene,

I'm glad you made it home safely -- sorry about all the problems.
I guess Amtrak cancelled -- probably because the line was flooded or was in danger of flooding or Sanford was messed up -- I'm glad you did not have to go out of your way to learn they cancelled...
