w00t w00t Wednesday WLS Express!
Looks like I'm driving today. EXCELLENT! (she says in her best "Mr. Burns" voice)
Just a quick drive by. Its already 6 and I still have to pack our lunches and get dressed. I actually slept through to my alarm at 5:30 so I know I'm tired. I usually am up on my own between 5:00 and 5:15.
Best friend in town tonight so headed out to dinner with him. YAY! I haven't seen him in almost 2 months so I'm very happy.
Ready for the weekend already! Have a great day everyone.

Morning Jenn and TMB,
Hope you are feeling better Jenn. I am stressing this AM about the trip to Galveston. Stephanie got me thinking last night on FB about me leaving monday AM for the trip. Now I am reconsidering that and thinking of going down on sunday. Now though I have to get approval of the other 3 ladies riding with me. It will cost us more money if we do that because we will have to get a hotel room. But I know for a fact it would take lots of pressure off me since I don't usually drive on trips. I hate driving long distances. I usually try to go to sleep at the wheel. UGH decisions !!! I know I would really enjoy the first day of the cruise more if I weren't so tired. We will see. That is pretty much what I want to do though. I am trying to wrap up what I am going to wear and take on the cruise......hard decisions not to over pack. LOL Anyway prayers still going out for Meggie, Eric, Debbi and new Ms. Natalie and Phyllis friend. Have a great day !!!
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Vivian,
It's a straight six-hour drive to the ship if you don't dally along the way. If you want to arrive by noon, you need to leave at 6 a.m. Your check in can go as late as 2:30 p.m.
Here's what I do. I drive as far as Huntsville, stay at one of the cheapy hotels, and drive the rest of the way the next morning. 3 or 4 of you splitting the La Quinta will be minimal (pretty much the cost of a meal out) and they have free breakfast. You can leave the day before about 5 and get there about 7, rest, find the pool if you want. There are some nice inexpensive restaurants in the area.
Just a suggestion.
I've made 7 cruises out of Galveston and this works for me.
I drive the 6 hours coming home with no problem.

Thanks for the info Janet. We decided to leave on sunday and spend the night in Galveston on sunday. That way we won't have to worry about rush hour traffic or anything and we got a hotel there for the price of a meal too.

Thanks George and glad to see your smiling face here. That is one reason that I convinced everyone riding with me to go down on sunday rather than leave in the wee hours of the morning on monday. Much safer for everyone. I do OK when it is light outside but when it is dark. I get sleepy. LOL

Trying not to be too jealous over those of you going on the cruise.
Spending this weekend w/ the youngest son and his pregnant girlfriend.
And then next Saturday (10/2) is my birthday....A big one at that - so pondering how I want to spend it. Spending at least part of it with my mother (of course!)
Have a great Hump Day all!
