    Talking The Night Before the Night Before.

    OK.......... so here's my problem. It's nearly 11:30 PM the night before, the night before we leave for POFQ and I'm having trouble sleeping. After all, we will be at WDW in less than 36 hours.

    My DW just said, "you better get to bed, we have a lot to do in the morning".

    All I want to do is sit here with my computer an keep pre-planning.

    How sick am I ? How do you cope when you get this close ?

    I usually end up logging onto Intercot as well, because I can't sleep either the night before we leave.

    I sleep like a baby prior to leaving for WDW.
    It's when I am there that I can't sleep. There is so much to do and so little time.

    Thanks Stephanie. I wish you were going to be with us, but our timing was just a little off this time.

    Tell me about it Pogo! Here's another of your Sunday co-horts, and even though it's mid-day, I still am sitting here instead of cleaning my house so the pet-sitter doesn't laugh at my messy house.

    Tonight is my night-before the night-before, but I'll probably sleep OK, since I seem to have a cold right now (started Monday), and I'm medicating up at night. I will NOT be sick when we hit the parks on Friday (and don't worry, by Sunday, I know I won't be contagious).

    Safe travelling

    Usually, I spend my last hours trying to get juuuust the right font size on my Excel itenerary and I remind my wife about the plane tickets. After that, I try to match my "fill" shades on my planning spreadsheet to identically match the WDW park schedules posted on the WDW site, and I remind my wife about the plane tickets. Following that, I make printouts of the newly improved Excel iteneraries (with new font size changed from 12 to 11), and I remind my wife about the plane tickets. Then...my wife usually forces Tylenol PM into me, and I fade out muttering something like, "gimme dole whipzzzzz".


    Have a great trip. I'm looking forward to reading about it.

    Default The Night Before .......

    I am usually floating around the house, doing everything I can to prepare for WDW. And I agree with others, I stay up cleaning, too. I guess it's a woman thing, but don't you hate to come back to a messy house?!!!

    We wish you could be with us also. We have planned this trip and now it is happening. Trip reports in about a week. Enjoy the good weather you'll have while we're away.

    My DW has been doing that and I've helped out as much as I could. And now I can say, everything has been done.
