You gotta be kidding me for I had a story about 'submarines races' and thought it would be too much to post. Here goes: Early in the 1950s my husband who was then my BF warned me about 'submarine races'. In 2000 I was parked at the lighthouse and two young fishermen were talking between their car and mine. One was saying how he had picked up a girl and told her he would take her to the 'submarine races' that night. I started laughting and said, "You guys are still using that line? My husband warned me about submarine races when we were young and just dating. This is too funny." We talked a little and then I left. Here was this old lady and at first they just looked at me.

Submariens don't stage races on the beach, it is just an excuse to take the girls to the beach at night. Why not a clambake with a group instead?

Time for an update, but I'm not quite ready yet!
I better get busy and come up with something

24 days Kenny....you are so almost there

[Kenny]

I know, Meg! I don't know how to act! And that's just me.... DW was in the fabric store yesterday and found Disney scrapbooking stuff (paper,stickers,etc,etc) and couldn't wait to show me before I left for L.A.! She is now officially as excited as I am!! It's too late to turn back now.... hmmmm that sounds like a line I heard in a love song once!

[agnes1956]

Wow Kenny!! Your Cruise is almost here. Disney ships look the best. Have a wonderful vacation!! We will be waiting to hear about your cruise when you come home.

See? Even us stodgy New englanders can get excited for stuff.! Which state is your wife from (if that's not too nosy for you)?

[Kenny]

Am I that bad??!
She's from Rhode Island, but likes to say she's from Massachusetts for some reason.... but she was living in New Hampshire when we met! So I say RI 'cause that's where I would want to be from if I was a "stodgy New Englander".... but I'm not.... I'm a West, by God, Virginian!

Well, I'm partial to NH myself!

And no, you're not that bad, I just didn't want to overstep any privacy boundaries....

[Kenny]

I don't have many privacy issues... which makes Brenda and I a good pair, because she thinks I talk too much (probably true) , and tries very hard to keep me in check!

[Kenny]

Every day I get a little more excited. If I count in my trips for work, I only have about 4 trips left before we go! I am now on my way to Los Angeles and should get there Friday sometime. I try to do trips to the west coast or so that take 4-5 days. It doesn't always work out that way, though, so I might end up with another trip or two in there. I suppose here would be a good place to post a picture of what I do for a living:



We call it piggybacking. We deliver new trucks to dealerships in the US and Canada.

I found some Halloween Mickey heads, orange with jack-o-lantern eyes and mouth cut outs, on the DIS boards and borrowed them. I added "DCL/WC" and "10/18/08-10/25/08" on the ears and printed them on magnetic paper, 12 to an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet. We figure to put them on our door expecting others to take them if they want. I also found ears for our door number. I made up some magnets of the names of our ports of call to add to the door, and Brenda had found the Princess magnets. I think we may find some other items to make our door stand out a bit.

I called DW last week and she told me she was having a "Disney Day"! She had recorded three Disney programs from the Travel Channel for me to watch. Samantha Browns favorite rides in both WDW and DL, another one I can't recall the name of right now, and one about Disney's best kept secret - the DVC. She got on the phone and called the number and talked to a CM about the DVC and ordered the information packet! She also cut out our door magnets. And then she got the mail and there was Disney Mail! It was just more luggage tags from DME, which were wrong , we do have the right ones now, but it was still Disney Mail! So she had a "Disney Day"!

Up Next: Final thoughts and plans before the Magic.

The door decorations sound awesome - and what a neat job you've got.

[Colexis Mom]

Great update Kenny!!

[DyanKJ130]

Oh my gosh - what a cool photo!!

I would be so afraid to drive that, but it must be such an adventurous job!

Thanks, Cheryl.... It's a job.... the best thing about it is the FF miles I get to accumulate.... makes vacationing a lot easier with free airfare!

It's not too scary , but it does take some getting used to .... as far as adventurous.... well, after a while it is just a job . I get to go all over the US and Canada, but you can't park a truck just anywhere (i.e. WDW or DL) so, most of the time, it's just a job! And I do like to drive!

[retiredkid]

Oh, Kenny...... its getting closer and closer and closer for you. Sorry I haven't kept up, but for some reason, I am not getting any update emails...
plus, I have been busy planning my next cruise.

I'm gonna hijack for a moment or two.



We booked my dream trip....... I know, I know it's NOT DISNEY

BUT

I have dreamed of it for years and years and years........(and years)

WE BOOKED THE YUKON AND ALASKA!!!

Nine day land tour of the Yukon and Alaska.. and then a 7 day cruise southbound through the glaciers.... !!!

I can't stand it! It's not until June...... what'll I do? what'll I do????

End of Hijack (sorry Kenny)

I also think you have a interesting job. But, like everything else (except Disney) the novelty wears off.
