Ok I am going to try again. We originally had called the day before we left to set up for a cab to pick us up to carry us to the airport. We have had friends do this with great success. I called for a minivan cab to accomodate us and our luggage. I also requested it to pick us up at 6:30 for a 9:15 flight. We are only 15 minutes from the airport put I was allowing time for a flat tire or gas stop. It doesnt hurt to be a little early for the airport but hurts if you are late. We were in the driveway waiting and 6:45 comes around and I decide to call the cab company. She had the nerve to tell me just because I call doesnt mean the are going to have one available to send out. I was wanting to blow up but knew I needed to keep my cool. I calmly explained to the lady I had called the day before. She said a pick up was on the way. At 7:00 I recieved a call a cab was on our street and we would be picked up in moments. I look down the street and see a CAR!!!!!! I immediately call the compay back and she says "ohhhhh...now I see you requested a van". She of course has one on the way. William gets on the phone and lets them know if we miss our flight they are going to pay. At 7:20 a van arrives to pick us up. The guy gets out and said "my van cant carry all that luggage". William said "oh yes it can" and raises the back door to the van and starts to load it. The whole time the foriegn guy is saying "my tires are going to pop, I cant do it, My tires are low" William loaded the van, we got in and seatbelted up and my poor devoted husband rode in the floorboard!!!!! The man tested my nerves by going 30 miles an hour in a 50 worried about his tires and everything was fine. He should have been more worried about William since seatbelts are the law in TN. He should have been worried that I was fixing to rip his head off because at this point we were all on pins and needles. We got to the airport, checked in and boarded immediately. That is so not me typically. To top all things we were quoted 18.20 (earlier in the morning I had given William 25.00 to cover the tip too) and when we got there he told us 29.00 and told william his tip was not included. William told him what the office said and he said we owed him 29.00and the NW check in lady said he was trying to rip us off. William paid him the 29.00 and no tip. I was livid and my sister called yellow cab to complain because I wouldnt. She also called to tell me when we were getting off the ship that she would be at the airport to pick us up. All the way home I had to hear I should have let her take us and next time I will.
My most memorable moment was mine and Andreas story. It was just like wow and I knew the rest of my trip was going to be the same enjoyable moment. It was very cool to think of the thousands of people there and we met the first night unplanned!!!!!
My best family moment was the Illuminations cruise while at the parks. If you ever get the opportunity....DO IT!!!!! It was unbelievable. To make it even more special, it was the night of the Shuttle lift off. We have some awesome pictures.
I couldnt say my special moment on the cruise because our whole family loved the whole cruise. While William and I loved our alone time, we found ourselves missing our children. After all, this is a family vacation. We laugh everytime we think of how excited they were every time the came back to the cabin.
Sadly, I went online to check on the disneys adventures for 2008 to check on a London trip and got my heart broken. I had NO idea. It will cost approximately $20,000.00 for the four of us with airfare. So....I will have to keep watching for a better deal. The children said the would settle for another cruise!

Now I know they are calling my name. I am now having to work in Williams office because his secretary has almost completely lost her eyesight. It is Awful for her. It is not so bad for me. I dont have to be tied to the desk. If the children need me or I want to get my nails done, etc........I can! Hey...maybe thats the key....a year end bonus.
Baby steps, I guess. Now, we do have two 7-day B2Bs booked for this fall on a different cruiseline, and he is fervently counting down the days to that, so I don't know what his damage is! What's 14 days v. 15 days? Silly, silly man.
