Kholby, I like Marleys food.

The music is always so loud in there each time i have gone.
Very difficult to talk to your friends until the band takes their breaks.


The key lime pie i get in Georgia is so much better than up North.
I don't make it but get it at the Ingles grocery store.
They do all the baking at the store daily.

Aww, come on, all the talk of key lime pie. The clock is ticking down for our birthday girl's KW get away, and I am surely going to get some pie. Her, ice cream. We do have some good key lime pie here, but the best I had was on a beach shack near St. Pete's, and it was still warm. Yum.

Never ate at Marleys for some reason. Glad Kholby was enjoying good food while the storm passed over.

Oh it's a dark and raining morning, with heavy thunderstorms to keep the temp in the low 70's. Getting out a long sleeve shirt feels odd.

But, lest the DIS not work for some time, it is a Monday, and it definitely feels like one.

Ahh, thanks for the list of August homie birthdays. Seems all us are lions except for Goofy. Like my little one, a week late to be a lion.

Time for tea. Have an awesome Monday homies!

Cracked another crown, it shattered, such a lovely way to start the week. Not sure whether to pick off the pieces or chance swallowing them until i get to dentist. Hey it's gold lol

Hahahahaha
I remember Andy and his switching hotels even up to 3 days before he flew out


Believe you have already topped his record of hotel bookings

I'm the wiener!

Keisha, never been to AoA, but have been to POP. I swore I would not stay there again, but the pocketbook, short number of days, and newly decorated rooms with a queen, and I am at POP again. Kids swore off it too, so at the holidays, we are at FQ. For KY, I am at my third hotel, with that third hotel, the third change of room type, and I think I am done. So happy that not only did the rental, but the hotel, all reduced prices for our sweet 16 trip. Rental almost went half price. I am so ready for vacation.

Now what to have for dinner.

Half price woohoo! She shoots &. Scores. A very special trip for your DD, she'll remember it forever

We've hit construction at PoP. Glad not to be assigned to those far flung buildings. Worse than the walk back to country section from lobby @ ASMu lol

It feels a bit more upscale than the other values to me yet it's rarely on my radar as more expensive.

I am curious re the new rooms with Queen & wall bed configuration.

Hmmmm . . . I do have some leftover from Bunco. Now how to eat it without the kids catching me?!



I'm back from a busy weekend ready to rest for a couple days before heading out. On Alligient. So fingers crossed for no delayed flights since they only fly wed and sat and my flight back sat is their last one for the summer.

I ate at Bob Marley's last night. The jerk chicken was amazing! They sat us way to close to the speakers at first and music was too loud to talk at all. I've very glad I requested a table further back after that as a quick storm came through and our table and food would have been splashed. I heard that storm knocked out power at IOA. We did some rides after dinner and noticed several rides were down and wondered why since we were clueless about the power outage. I'm glad I was eating amazing chicken sheltered instead of on a coaster when it hit.

Oh, lucky you. Scary to see people stuck on RNRC.

Bunco as in the card game? Not very popular here once the casinos were legalized. My mom told me they used to be more of a socialization thing with the same group of gals but it morphed into $ game over the years & she quit.

Jammin man

We didn't feel comfortable there our last visit, first time ever. I understand the concept of tables being saved for diners but appears many were being saved for servers 'friends' who arrived late and didn't order food.

Skipped it entirely our last 2 visits

I feel for you with your crown problem. I have a 5 tooth bridge that needs to be fixed.. not looking forward to that...


I've stayed at ASMu in the Country Section... That's what taught me that it's worth spending the extra money for the preferred buildings (especially at a Value where it's only $10/night extra).. I was seriously hurting by the time I got back to my room after a long day in the parks.

When I first moved to Atlanta (from Southern California), I thought Ingles was a Spanish supermarket because I when read it, I sounded it out as "Ing-glaze". (In So Cal, Spanish supermarkets are kinda common)

Bunco is a dice game. We play $10 per a person so not very expensive. It's really an excuse to get together and socialize. It's been an easy way to meet my neighbors. We also play left, right, center which costs $3 to play. So - those winning money aren't winning a huge amount. That way, it's still fun if you don't win anything.

Janet

Oh no
Not tooth problem again

You can't catch a break ...

 

[schumigirl]

Oh No Janet.........awful luck.......I know that feeling only too well........thought my crown saga over 2 years should have its own Facebook account..........hope it gets sorted quickly......

Talking of FB........do we all know someone like this..........I do........








Lol........I'm sure we do know.


Busy day today.........think I'm competing with Janet for changing hotels........changed our NYC hotel again today.......couldn't resist.......better one came along.........

Ready to settle down with glass of wine and watch this week's Game of Thrones.........been a long but fun day.........

 

[macraven]

Hotel change?

Which one this time, one you have stayed at before?

 

[schumigirl]

Hotel change?

Lol........no haven't stayed at this one before.......

Lotte New York Palace........looks amazing!!! Not changing this one........although I said that when I booked the Sofitel too.......

Tom called them direct today as he had a couple of specific requests, I haven't to ask too many questions about what he's booked apparently.......

 

[macraven]

Maybe he plans to surprise you for your anniversary at that hotel


Bet something special he has planned for you!

 

[schumigirl]

Yep, it'll just be nice being there together. As you know he's never been to NY, so I'm so looking forward to showing him all the sights and sounds there........hotel is a big bonus though........told him I should surprise him with something.......he said no, that's his job to spoil me....... lol.........

Lol i have a video of our one night in country section, we were back by swamp. Headed back to pool after 10 pm. Sounded like being out in the swamps. GD freaked out. Could hear it all night

That's a big bridge! I have a 4 part one.

Well, today i had to put on safety goggles at the dentist. Let's just say what followed was a bit unnerving lol. I'm still numb.

Back in 2 weeks, swelling should be down enough to figure out if root canal has failed. If not, going with new type of crown if my insurance agrees. Lifetime warranty. Not holding my breath there.

Youngest DS back from Miami, insisted on taking me out to dinner. I took a few bites and bagged the rest, was afraid I'd bite off my tongue lol. Yet again, chicken parm. I am nothing but predictable.

Yes that's it, the 'losers' switch tables each turn. Here they add in a poker run feature of sorts. Money stakes much higher our neck of woods.

As i recall from filling in a few times the pot-luck food was stellar and drinks were cold

Lol........no haven't stayed at this one before.......

Hehe love it

Last "Sleep" before Baltimore! Weather is a bit threatening though. They still steam crabs in a downpour though, right?!

 

[macraven]

I know you will have a fun stay and eat a lot of crabs !


You are so lucky to do all these fab trips!!

Safe travels buckeev

Tuesday again, and it`s raining again........

Laundry done this morning, lunch then DH has ordered a new kettle and mahoosive toaster we apparently needed.......and he calls me an impulse buyer!! So will nip into town to pick that up. Quicker than their delivery....

Won`t be doing much else.......fed up with all this rain.......

30 days though........

 

[Lynne G]

Safe travels Buckeev. The rain that gave us a rainy all day we had yesterday is now out to sea, and the humidity is again climbing that dew point high numbers. Even though Baltimore is south of me, our weather is generally the same. So, Baltimore will be just right for a crab pot. Not too hot, and just a little steamy.

Gray start to the day, and with over 2 inches of rain yesterday, we're still feeling damp. Tuesday it is.

End of summer is coming fast. My youngest will be 16. Oh my.

Good Grief! Safety Goggles? Was dynamite involved???

I am having empathetic tooth pain in your honor I hope you feel better soon!
