I am killing time at work until I can leave at 3pm. I will then drive to my boyfriend's house, switch cars, and then off to the airport we go.
Unfortunately we couldn't find a direct flight to Yellowstone National Park so we will be wasting some time with a layover in Atlanta. We fly to Atlanta with an hour layover and then fly to Bozeman Montana. A shuttle bus will then take us to West Yellowstone where we will spend the night. Tomorrow afternoon, a snow cat will pick us up and then take us to Old Faithful Snow Lodge. Yeah!!!!
I am not thrilled with all the waiting time before we reach our final destination but I am prepared. I have a big travel bag filled that contains plenty of stuff to do. I always carry around my nintendo ds (I'm addicted to tetris type game that uses viruses instead of blocks). I also have a netbook that I can use to access the internet or write up some reviews. And last but not least I have a new sports camera that I has some features that I need to learn how to use. My boyfriend also has his own netbook and nintendo ds so we don't have to fight over whose turn it is to use what.
Is it 3 yet? Arghhh, only 11:30am.

1 Trip down, three to go...
I am back from a wonderful vacation at Walt Disney World. I actually got back last Saturday but I have been busy catching up with work and household matters.
The vacation was great with only a few issues. The first issue was the weather. Apparently Florida had record lows during our trip. Hmmm, good if you like the cold but bad if the intention of going to Florida was to escape the cold. We left 10 inches of snow in St. Louis to low 30's in Florida. Luckily I had my ski jacket and gloves so all was good.
The second issue was the crowds. I am use to going to Disney in off season so crowds are usually very low. Plus everyone keeps talking about a bad economy so I thought Disney would be uncrowded. I was so wrong. Yeah I am sure it wasn't as busy as July but the park was a little more crowded then I am use to.
Other then those two minor annoyances, we had an absolutely wonderful vacation. We enjoyed several good dinners with the highlight being a delicious dinner at Victoria and Albert's. We met up with my sister and her family several times; which was great for me because my niece Haley is adorable and I loved seeing the parks through her eyes.
Everyone (including employees and fellow vacationers) was extremely nice during this trip. We struck up conversations numerous times with other guests and enjoyed their stories and friendliness. We definitely felt like we were in a magical place and was very sad when the trip came to an end.
