August and Everything After WDW - Trip Report - Day 1 complete **Updated 8/29** About This Page:

[mestitch]

Well folks, it's that time again. That time where I just barely finish a TR before starting a new Pre TR... I am always so good in the beginning. All that pre trip excitement just eats away at me. It's the post trip blues that slow me down

So since this is Pre TR number 4 in 7 months I've decided it's time to change things up a bit. I mean, you gotta be getting bored of the same ole same ole from us by now right?

If you noticed my countdown ticker (and why wouldn't you? I mean c'mon, let's not forget that all important memo about the world revolving around me from my March TR ) then you noticed we've named this trip. Well, Andy named it. It has been dubbed the "August and Everything After WDW Trip". To begin the usual Friends references I will say that the meaning of the name is threefold:
1. the trip is in August
2. the trip is to WDW
3. there is a lot of everything after including back to work for me and back to strict saving money to build back up our savings and checking accounts which feel depleted in this busy year of trips and economic downfall.

Okay so I had to stretch the second one to make it threefold...but whatever, it works And how we've managed to do so many trips in one year is beyond me. It probably won't be this way again for awhile...but I am thankful for this year, that's for sure!! And the fact that we've made some great new friends and gotten closer with some old friends that have the luxury of living down there hasn't helped us in wanting to cut back on our trips either

Now, all this jibber jabber has been written to prepare you for the Pre TR. This was sort of the Pre Pre TR I suppose We have decided to do it in a silly way. Since the name of the trip comes from a Counting Crows album (one of the best albums ever in my opinion) that this Pre TR will be laid out in a way that is similar to an album's liner notes, or a CD booklet (and for those of you kiddos that have been sucked into the iTunes downloadable world, just go with it)

So without further ado... We present to you:
