By the way, decided to take the Mac so I'll work on the trip report in Microsoft Word while I'm down. I can do it each evening after I get back so I won't forget the details you guys need to know. :wink:

I hope there is free wifi in the Salt Lake airport so I can be on with you guys tomorrow night as I chill and wait for my plane... gonna be a loooong night.

Good luck with that whole reporting at night thing. You should just jot down a few notes as you go. Spend your time at the parks enjoying every minute you can. You aren't going to want to stay up when you get back to the hotel in the wee hours writing your report. Don't get me wrong, we would love to have it as it happens, but you should enjoy your trip. The report will wait until you're back. I used the notes app on my iphone to sort of keep track of our days. Even then, when I went back through pictures there were things we had done that I had forgotten about.
I hope for free wifi for you at the airport too!!

I wouldn't give it as it happens, because I'm sure not paying that $9.95 for wifi in the room to get on here!! :shock: I figured I'd just spend a few minutes and outline in Word each night so I can copy/paste whenever the time comes to post. I tend to forget things... especially when I am distracted. :wink:

Don't blame you on not paying for the wi-fi; I have a verizon internet that I can take with me anywhere...

The four of us know. It's the extended family that have no idea we are going. Right now they think we're pricing out options :lol:

Soarin': I can't believe trip day is pretty much here already! Hope you have an amazing trip and we all look forward to your trip report and pictures after you come back.

Len90: It seems like in the past you have kept your family vacations to your immediate family anyhow??

Soarin08: You're almost there! No more worries about Slow Time now!
