The century mark

 


Yes.  

There are exactly 100 days until we go to Florida.  I initially thought that the hundred day mark was Monday, but it turns out that I suck at calendar math.  Of course, we need travel restrictions lifted to allow us to do this, so the carpet might yet be pulled out from under us.  But I'm choosing to be cautiously optimistic just to change things up.  Weird for me, but I'm going to give it a try.  All updates on restrictions will be found here although they'll probably be old news by the time you read it.

Today's date is Tuesday June 29th, incase you too are calendar illiterate.  (This is merely an announcement.)  

On July 10th (my parents & Elizabeth and Brian's anniversaries) it'll mark 90 days until we go and it's also the day that I'll reveal our route.  I know what you're thinking, there's not much more that can be said about this stuff, but I aim to find something new for you.  

Ten days after that on July 20th, with 80 days left, I'll be mapping out what's happening on our arrival.  You know when I pace around the kitchen and dining room?  I'm planning in exquisite detail every moment of our first day.   Then with 70 days left it'll be an outline of our first FULL day.  

That's all I have planned between now and then, but I've got thirty days to think of what to do for 60 days, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 day left.  Why?  Because it's fun and planning things about our future makes me happy.  So there.  Future editions should be full of sex, drugs and rock and roll!  Okay, probably no drugs.  

Meanwhile ... what is going to happen in the next hundred days?  Here are a few highlights.  

  • I'm going to buy new running shoes. (yes, that's a highlight)
  • We're going to walk to go walking approximately 70 times (not counting weekends and there might be the odd rainy day we skip)
  • I'll have gone from a portly 205.2LBS to a svelte 175 LBS.  Actually anything between 170 and 180 will make me happy because I have some f'n pancakes to eat when we get there.  Plus there's about 2 weeks coming off this diet with no weight gain so the pancakes won't actually make much of a difference.   

That's all for now, I hope the 90 day message takes you a little longer to read.

Cheap Things to do

And suddenly there are only 60 days left.  Just two scant months. I think this one might be a day early, but whatever.  It's close enough. Happy August 8th!  We've made it through the hard part of the waiting. Actually, I'm pretty much resigned to the likelihood that we won't be going to Florida.  The state is an unmitigated disaster and even if we kept to ourselves it's just not worth the risk.  I'm thinking we do a long weekend Buffalo or even Niagara Falls.  Just to get away a little.  Nonetheless, I'm going to do this edition + one other because they'll be relevant whenever we go.       We've agreed that there will be no Disney Parks on this trip and I don't intend to change my mind about that, although you can feel free to try.  However there are some other less expensive options that we could try and occupy our days with.  Not quite free, but super cheap.  How cheap?  We could do 5 of these things for the e...

First Full Day

Happy July 30th and 70 days left until we leave.  This trip is largely going to be Seralago and Old Town, however there are a few must do's that have to be addressed and we'll start on those right away.  By right away, I mean on our first full day.    We are going to wake up from our full and restful sleep ready to take on the world!  If my prediction of the previous day is correct, it'll already feel like we've been there a few days when we get up on Saturday morning.  Also, we'll have slept more than we realize between napping at the pool and our nap in the room, so we'll likely wake up bright and early and feeling pretty good.  And you know exactly where that day will begin, don't you?  Sure you do.   Well I'll have been craving them for 20 months by the time we get there, so this has to be the first stop.  I already know that I'm going to need two extra forks because I'm going to get syrup everywhere!   I'm literally s...
