I realized that with only three more days to go, I ought to do an update to my PTR soon to be TR.
It has been a stressful past few days... my grandmother just passed away and I am dealing with the family drama that happens when a loved one goes. It's been difficult. Part of me feels weird about going on vacation, but I know she would have wanted me to enjoy my self.
I have been axiously awaiting the trip. I have spent the last few weeks eating, breathing and sleeping Disney. I have watched every Disney movie that I could. Including but not limited to...
Cinderella
Sleeping Beauty
The adventures of Icabod and Mr toad.
Monster's inc
Sword in the Stone
The three caballeros ( I forgot how weird this one was)
Finding Nemo
Alice in Wonderland
The Muppet Movie
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Song of the South
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
That's just to name a few... When not watching Disney movies I am either on the DIS or watching disneyland related videos on Youtube. It is gonna be murder in the next few days. I have no idea how I am going to be able to wait.
Well, my roommate is driving us to the airport and picking us up so we can save a little bit of money on super shuttle. ( Yay for Cher!) I offered her my car since there is no way on earth that we will all fit in her car with our luggage. That would involve her emptying her back seat... and that just won't happen. I need to clean out my car and trunk over the next couple of days so we have room for our luggage. I am afraid of what I might find... it has been a long time since I have cleaned out my trunk.
I booked super shuttle for pick up at SNA and return from DLH back to the airport. I really hate not having a car with me in California. Yeah, I know that we are only doing Disneyland, but I wish my mother would have let us drive out to Cali instead of flying. It costs me about the same if not cheaper to drive from Phoenix Arizona to Anaheim. It is only about a 5 hour drive and I love doing it. I love stopping in Cabazon and seeing the Dinosaurs and I love passing the windmills along the 10. I don't mind the distance... it really is not too bad. The one thing that makes the drive unbearable is the stretch between Blythe and Indio. There is nothing to look at. I really think that I have more of a sense of freedom if I have the car available... even if I do not use it. It will be nice not to have to leave at 4:30 in the morning though.
Here are the reasons I like the drive along the 10 into California.
The windmills may not look like much in these pictures but they are quite impressive in real life. They sprall for miles and miles over hills and mountains all across this highway. It sure is an awesome sight of American ingenuity to behold.
I love the "Dinosaur Museum" in Cabazon.
My other grandmother gave my mother and I a little bit of money for our trip. It's not much. But it is greatly appreciated. It will at least pay for dinner at blue bayou and get me a couple pins. I'm very content with that.
I hate the idea of packing. I'm not good at it. I either bring too much or not enough. I"m not good at folding items or keeping track of them. I don't think I have even completely unpacked my bag from last time. That is sad. That was over a month ago.
I still need to go get more things from walmart- first aid and painkillers, 5 hour energys, snacks and other things that I am forgetting right now. Thankfully I have thursday off! Too bad it wil be spent doing errands. Well, the end result will be good.
I cannot wait to stay in the DLH. I'm very excited about it. I really want to see the grounds more extensively than I have been able to in the past.
I still need to get a teacup... (I'll explain this once we get back and I do the trip report)
I also need another memory card for my camera. I plan on taking lots of pictures.
I promise to bring back lots of food porn to share with everyone.
Well guys and dolls, I think it is about time for me to say goodnight. So I will see you later.
