We rolled out of Elmira on Tuesday, August 12th to begin our adventure... we were so busy we really didn't even have a chance to be sad - it was just a giant puzzle to see how we could get all of our stuff to the plane! Fortunately, our neighbor, Sue helped us out and we were ready to go... until the flight was delayed! The flight was delayed getting to Elmira which put us at about an hour later than we thought. Then we had to sit on the runway for 45 minutes while they decided whether there were 49 or 50 passengers... there were 49. Then we had to wait before taking off for a few minutes - there must have been a glider in the way...
We finally made it into the air and made it to the C terminal in Detroit - 40 minutes before our connecting flight was to take off... SO we literally boogied through and were pretty much the last ones on the flight. Fortunately, we were able to look out and see our luggage going on the plane - minutes before they closed it all!
The views from the flight were stunning. We flew over the Rockies and the Grand Canyon. Then as we approached LA - there was literally nothing but desert and mountain and then suddenly there was the sprawl... Pretty amazing how FLAT it was.
Our luggage was the first off and we were off to the shuttle - I do believe it was Grumpy that picked us up - he was not happy at all that we had so much stuff and grumbled all the way. He did not get a tip... But we arrived safely (and HOT since he didn't use the AC) at the Disneyland Hotel and all seemed well! You just can't be tired when you have tinker bell on your wallpaper and little shampoo bottles with Mickey heads! We ate dinner at the Hook's Pointe restaurant and pretty much crashed shortly thereafter... The kids definitely had visions of all things Mickey... Nicholas simply couldn't wait until we found some pins and Sydney wanted to see her favorite princess, Belle!
