[Patricia]

Whee! I'm packing my bags.

My computer is needed here at home as some of us have to stay home and keep working.. but I will try to keep notes about the trip details. So, maybe there will be a report later.. I'll be sure to keep the details of our Club33 Victory dinner!

This time tomorrow I'll be in Disneyland looking forward to our dinner at Blue Bayou.. Yum!

[JPL]

[mickeytinkerbellprincess]

[Randypandy]

have fun patti. Don't overdo it on the race though. Be sure to take pictures for us. Have a nice dessert and tell us what they have there in food. Are you going to be running in any marathons at WDW? I will be helping out in a marathon in January. 2 of them actually. I'm getting a free WDW ticket for each day i help out.

[terri.m]

Have a wonderful time Patti!!

If you see someone on the side of the road holding a timmy's cup in one hand and a suitcase in the other it's me waiting to be picked up

[Patricia]

Tea where were you??

So, yeah... I'm in Disneyland. So far our trip is rockin'. I was even able to arrange a little ride on the Lilly Belle for us. I just now came back to my room after watching The Main Street Electrical Parade. We were planning to see Fantasmic after.. but the insane crush of people running from CA to Disneyland changed our mind for us. We'll see it Sunday instead.

Blue Bayou was great..I shared the jumbo ribs and afterwards all six of us shared a cookie boat. I can't tell you my amusement watching them try to decide if the sail was edible or not. By the time we left, it was in little pieces all over the plate. Our waitor was excellent.


Tonight we had dinner at Rainforest Cafe. Every thing was tasting pretty good after that Rainbow Colada thingy I had.

[Patricia]

Oops, my phone froze. I only have a few minutes left til it dies.

Did I mention I saw Cat this morning? Of course it was complicated by an eye infection I seemed to have picked up. Cat, whom was only staying an hour, ended up driving me to a clinic to see a Doctor. I told her to leave me there to walk back but she waited for me and drove me to the Grand Californian. Thanks Cat for looking after me. (Yes JP, we shopped.)


Tomorrow I'll be heading to the health and fitness expo at the Disneyland Hotel. I need to pick up my number for the run. I'll probably roam Disneyland for a bit too.. I have some serious shopping to do.

[Patricia]

Woot!!

I did it! It was pretty cool. I got a high five from mickey at the end. Im heading out soon for a victory celebration with see.low at the ever popular Club 33.

I ended up joining a three hour pace group to keep me from going too fast. I got ahead of them a couple of times but used my lead for a bathroom break. In the end I said goodbye to them at the 12 mile mark and ran it home the last 1.1 miles. I really wanted to finish under three hours. It was killing me to go so slow all the way, but I had little pain so it worked. I finished with a 2:55:34 time. My original goal was 2:30.. So, I'm happy to even have completed with my troubles. The medal is so pretty.

[terri.m]

Congrats Patti!! Have a wonderful time at Club33 tonight and give See a big hug for me!

I'm so jealous!!

[Patricia]

Woot! Club33 was over the top! Uh, we took pics of the washrooms. Alastair was our amazing server, he rocked! We had a wonderful evening of friends and food. Can you imagine watching Fantasmic from the Club 33 balcony?? See.low and I proudly wore our medals.. Even though we never found each other at race time(14,000 people) we were running very close together through parts of the race. Ok, I have to go back to Cabada now.. More later.

[Ed]

Ok, I have to go back to Cabada now.. More later.

Cabada ? Is that the country just north of the Ubited States?

Glad to hear you did well and didn't damage yourself (or others) !

Well done!

[trackbarroness]

Ed me thinks someone had a few too many to drink whilst at Club33, or it was the eye infection causing her to umm mispell her country's name? me thinks the latter.
Oh by the way Patti awesome job can't wait to see pics girl.

[See.low]

Wow patti! You are quick. I just got home and you have already posted.

What an exciting adventure you have had and I'm so happy that I got to be a part of it. The "Happiest Race on Earth" was so much fun, even though I couldn't find patti anywhere. It didn't help that I was looking for a yellow tank top and mini skirt. heh
Dinner was definitely the highlight of the weekend. Our reservations were at 6 and I think we finally got out of there around 11. I watched both Fantasmics from the balcony while patti was able to see the first showing in a VIP area down on the river front and then got back in the Club to see the second showing from the balcony and finish her dessert. (she's such a VIP)
The service, food, martinis and wine were extraordinary, but the company was even better. We ate with some other former VMKers, HarborKat and QueenMichele, so we were able to do some VMK reminiscing during our dinner.

Today, I'm a happy girl because I finally got to meet patti in person. She is a joy and it was a pleasure meeting her. We are already planning her next trip down here.

[See.low]

Congrats Patti!! Have a wonderful time at Club33 tonight and give See a big hug for me!

I'm so jealous!!

Aww big hugs back to you girl. Next year I'm thinking you should hitch a ride with patti!

Ok, I have to go back to Cabada now.. More later.

Cabada
That is hilarious!!!

[terri.m]

Cabada???

How long were you gone girl???

Have a great flight back and hopefully next time I can tag along!

Now where are some pics??

[Chescat]

Amazing part is she ran and didn't fall down this time.

I'm also laughing at the part where she said she used her lead for a bathroom break. Wow is that part of the course?

Glad you had such a good time, you deserve it.
