Things are coming together

Well I think the driving idea is now out the window. We will leave the same time and probably spend a little more time in Florida and less time on the road.

I just don't know which is going to be cheaper in the long run. Well lets see. There will be no wear and tear on the vehicle for one thing. So there is a plus. If the car breaks down well that is not fun. No flat tires to worry about if we fly. Unless a pane gets a flat. Not good there.

Okay so lets put into prospective. Driving. There will be a motel room every night. Or we sleep in the car. Have done that before. Not fun!!! Then there is gas to pay to get where you are going.. The food as well. It is starting to add up. Along with the wear and tear on me. I think I will be pretty grumpy by the time we get there. With my aches and pains and having to spend a week in the car with hubby. The thing is we only have five days to get to where we are going. Then we have a time share we are using for a week. The heading back home. Another week of driving.

Okay now flying. You get there within a day. One plus. More time to see all that you want to see. We have almost three weeks to look around. I am getting tickets for stuff to see while we are there. Well there is the price of a plane ticket. then there is the rental of a car to get around to places we want to see. i have been looking on line right now. Not too bad prices. We would have to take two flights. On to Toronto or Calgary and then onto our destination. On the way back through Toronto and maybe stay a couple of days and visit family. Well that might be a plus. It may cost about the same or maybe a little more to fly, but will work out a little better in the wrong run.

We can fly out of Abbotsford and that is pretty close and cheaper to park at then the Vancouver airport.

It is looking better and better to fly to our destination and enjoy more time where we are there.

We don't have to have a car the full time. Just when we think of taking a bit of a tour somewhere. Walking is our usual way of doing things. That way we get to see the neighbourhood around the area.

Okay so tomorrow I am heading to marlin travel to see what I can put together. Need room down there until we are able to get into time share. Have to have a car to rent. And all places have to be close to what we are going to see so we can walk instead of figure out how to drive there and back. Then talk over with hubby and get it ready to go. New only have a month before this is under way.

Well so much for driving. I think this is a better choice.

So now motel rooms there instead of across the country. Well at least won't be changing rooms every night. Just in the middle to get to our time share. Maybe we will head down to the keys as well and take a look there and maybe have a place somewhere around there. Maybe around the gators. So now I think we have it decided. No driving for us. Not to be an adventure but if we run into trouble along the way and not get to where we are going.

Well at least I got to use my airmiles for something. Have passes to Disney, universal studio, sea world and Busch gardens. So am all full up for things to do and see. So if can do the walking that is involved it is going to be a good trip. I am looking forward to three weeks just enjoying my self and no worries about what is happening around here. The house is not empty. There are other people in the house. And my doggies as well. They have to be looked after.

Okay decided. Flying is going over driving. Last minute change but I think it is for the best.

Vacation under way. Planning stages

Well I just got rid of most of the airmiles I had in my account. Now what.

Out of this I have ordered tickets to Disney, Busch gardens, sea world, universal studio and night stays at the best western. Bye, bye airmiles. Hello to some places to go and places to stay.

Well the thought of using my airmiles to go to Jamaica are now out of the question this year. Maybe in a couple of years down the road now, have to think about it.

It is now a month and half before we head out on a road trip. Driving. The two of us in a vehicle together. Driving through the country side. Enjoying the scenery and probably getting sick of each other by the second day.

Still have to pick a route to get us from here to there. The there is Florida. With the use of a time share for a week. I am just hoping that there is not much snow in the passes we have to go through. Or it will be a short drive and us stuck someplace and not getting to where we should be by a certain date.

Well I have worked it out that we can get into some of the amusement parks for free now and hopefully a few stay along the way won't cost us anything. Then while we are in Florida are staying in a time share given to us to use for a week. So it will be gas and food and maybe a few places to stay along the way. Hopefully I have made the trip a little cheaper then what it would have if we where paying for the whole thing.

As usual will be writing about the trip.. Hopefully will be exciting enough to tell everyone about. The bike trip we took last year was fun so am hoping this will have some excitement in it as well. Not just driving to get from one place to the next. Well we do have a time limit but am hoping to see something or rather besides the flat top. Have to start looking at ,aps and such and tour books and start to figure this out.

Well so far excited. As the days get closer will I be dreading or just happy to get underway. Traveling with my hubby is an experience in itself. When he gets it in his head to be someplace we just drive and drive and drive. That is when I say I got to get out now. Can I at least pee someplace. Well there is a tree over there. Hmmm!! Thanks allot.
