MY ADVENTURES N NEW ORLEANS & OTHER ASSORTED SILLY STUFF TRIP REPORT; NOV '17

SOME CAJUN MUSIC TO GETCHA N THE MOOD FOR THIS ADVENTURE......:goodvibes


Learned some silly facts about the water park section of the Great Wolf Lodge...that great big ol bucket that dumps all that water out approx every 15 min? That bugger holds 1000 gallons of water ...so I got curious and stood under the water dump area.... Wowzers! That's a lot of water coming at ya ! - luv it! And with that about to bring this to a close and head on over to Free Play.popcorn::

Going out to Cracker Barrel in a while for some much needed breakfast ..... Then check Ladybug paw:
out of her hotel for extremely spoiled pooches as we then slowly make our way on over to Duck Creek park for a nice two hour walk..... Feels nice to not have to return to "Reality Land" until Friday ....

Reading and want to find the magical way to how you lose weight

If it works for you it might also work for me

Hoping you take a pill and wake up a pound lighter

(Wishful thinking ) lol

POSSIBLE CHANGE N THE WORKS...........:scratchin




It appears as if vacationing n2 the France area is trickier than I had originally thought....
Again, my adventures n DISneyland Paris, Paris, Burgandy, etc seem to be stalling AGAIN -
From the USA dollar to Euro conversion issues, Vendors not wanting to commit until the last second, etc...... RRRR!!:upsidedow


So, I have put in a rather shall we say, a serious inquiry about going to "that DISney park" you see shown in the above video.
and the vacation month will be May '18.
**IF ALL GOES WELL, BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ME TO 'SUSPEND' MY DISNEY FRANCE TRIP REPORT AND BEGIN A NEW ONE**


FYI - I this does happen, I have my work cut out for me cuz all i I know is "Hello", "goodbye" and "May I have a glass of water" in their language......::yes::




So,
I will know by Wed or Thurs this week what the answer is......France or 'that other place.";)



ANYWHO -
Not to be left out, I will begin working on incorporating the Great Wolf Lodge next in my vacation planning as I feel that a very nice place to unwind and relax....especially after 9pm.:laughing:

Just submitted my vacation proposal to my TA........pixiedust:

the funniest part about all of this is...........
Remember when I went to Universal Studios last year and along the way, I previewed a Tv Program for a few extra doilars to spend while out at the Park...


and I couldn't stand the show that I previewed??



Well



ANYWHO -
I am going back now and rewatching it.......:blush:

AND i WILL TAKE IT!!:woohoo:
Hmmmmm....wonder where I lost those pounds??
Do I need to check the "Lost and Found?":laughing:




That and I just got an email from from my TA stating that she has gotten in touch with the
Japan vendor and and now working up some magic for me on just what in the heck I am or should I say will be up to early next year........:)




Plan on contacting her Wed to see the status should she not contact me before then. Thus, I am choosing to wait / hesitate a bit b4 starting "My Adventures n Tokyo Disneyland, Osaka, Tokyo and Other Assorted Silliness Trip Report".........popcorn::



That way I don't jinx it -;)

:santa:IT'S CHRISTMAS N JUNE BECAUSE.....




Just received
a very unexpected email surprise from my Travel Agent yesterday......popcorn::




He has completed putting together & confirming everything on the City side of my Paris France adventure!!party:






I literally had to re-ask him to state was he said three times I was in either total shock and or disbelief!!::yes::



He is now putting in informational request to the DISney side of this and submitting it to DISney Paris today......



OH MY!! SOMEONE PINCH ME!!:dancer:



This adventure is now officially up and off the ground. So many starts and stops - so many TA's came and went.......BUT CHA KNOW......




:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:



IT'S ABOUT TIME DANGIT!! More details early next week as I 'OFFICIALLY" unveil just what it is that I am doing over there......
(yes, it will be listed on my Paris France Trip report).....







OK......WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR REGULAR TV PROGRAMpopcorn::

and with that piece of FAB news, I feel why not?





Ok......so from here on in, THIS Trip report is now hereby n a CHristmas mode;) -

Ummmm.....
COUGH COUGH!!


Need to make a "slight":rolleyes1
edit here ......



That's THANKSGIVING MODE.......
and Chistmas -:santa:



To explain.....
for some unknown and crazy reason, I seem to be running up against Travel Agents whom just do not know what they are doing....

SO -
I have had to fire....
yes I said FIRE not one not two
but THREE separate Travel Agents last Monday over this huge DISneyland Paris debacle!!:upsidedow
No, I am NOT going which STINKS but ya know, when I am spending that kind of money to go on a vacation (be it DISneyland Shanghai, Tokyo or Paris) I expect to be treated more than a cash paying Customer trying to check into a Hotel with no identification what so ever.....
Over promising and under delivering with me ALWAYS being the one to have to literally BUG them into providing me with updates, I was very patient with them all but to me enuf is enuf cuz....... Whole flipping thing (most recently vacation plans to a DISney park overseas) never even got 100% off the ground!!

Moreover, I really had my heart set on going to see either one of those three parks listed above and not going has really thrown me for a curve......:crazy2:


BUT....:)
No worries, I did have fun going on Social Media detailing my displeasure over them treating me in this fashion.......via Yelp.com and PinInterest.com and Trip Advisor.com....:mic:

(I know they are not too thrilled over my eval of them and well....TOUGH!

So......
I have chosen to once again, move that vacation out a wee bit (any kind soul who does know of a competent travel agent who is interested in helping make my dream come true, feel free to PM me or reply on this thread)....updates on my NEW TR after New Orleans will be up in a few weeks so no worries.....



So enstead of Paris in April, I am
choosing to opt instead for -
**MACEYS THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE FESTIVITIES up in New York CIty**


Why not?
Different -
unique -popcorn::


Close to my birthdayparty:





Now here is the kicker.....
I am also looking at Sonoma / Napa Valley for April.......



Yes, details forthcoming in the next few weeks I promise.popcorn::
