I heart SW airlines... You can do IMs.... or, you can just jog, ride your bike a bit and go to Disneyland instead  Average daily high in Anaheim in Oct - 80F Are you implying that there's more to life than triathlon? I have to admit I'm a little jealous. Where are you staying? We went over the break between Christmas and New Years last year, and although it was nice, we wound up going to D-land on the day they posted a record for attendance. Apparently, they closed the entrance shortly after we went in. So. Crowded. Take advantage of the ride express lines -- where you "reserve" a spot at a later time. I wish we had done that. And, if you can make reservations at the little restaurant near the Pirates ride, that might be nice for dinner. We didn't plan ahead enough, and wound up having a mediocre dinner at one of the places in the old town area.
Disneyland Grand Californian. They're running a fall special for $269/night. Dawn/The Blonde wanted a vacation... her X would never go anywhere. They went to Dland one day several years ago and he complained the whole time. I, OTOH, love vacation. Its the only reason some days I get up to go to work. I have been to Disneyland before, in 1977, as a rather sullen teen for part of one day. I imagine its changed a little bit... Weird! I was in D-land in 1977 too! I was the cute little seven year old with a striped shirt, and a little sister who was too young to ride the rides. That was an interesting trip, even for me at that age. We borrowed a big car, and drove the whole way from Louisiana to California, with both my dad's and my mom's mother in the car. There were never two different types of grandmothers that you could get to be in the same car at the same time. Oh, the memories!
My ex could never AFFORD to go on vacation, but that never really stopped him. Of course, he'd never go where I wanted to go. And, if he did, he would complain the whole time too. |
