Disney Merrytime Cruise - Trip Journal Entry 12/19/19

***These are actual entries from a handwritten journal J keeps during all travels, so everything is written in the moment.***


10:40 pm
Daddy went through Pre-check, thanks to his military status.
We did not. But we all made it to the plane! About to board the first leg.
We are on the plane to Houston. We'll land around midnight and then get our bags and order and Uber to the hotel near the cruise terminal.  We should arrive around 2am.  We plan to sleep and hopefully sleep in.  Check out is at 11am and then we'll walk to the port. Our port arrival time is 1pm, so we'll have time to burn a bit.
  Getting this far today has been nothing short of an adventure.  We got caught in traffic and had to cancel our parking arrangments in order to park at the terminal to make our flight. So expensive! But saved us a lot of time.  We made the plane with out about 10 minutes to spare.  When that plane landed, we flew across the airport and made it on to the 2nd flight in less than 5 minutes.
Working on her scrap book from her Fairy Godmother on the plane.
  The Impossible Girl has been an awesome traveler.  My Sailor has been damn new heroic, hauling, carrying, and overall making sure we are well taken care of.  I want to really focus on my family and giving them a magical time on this cruise. Praying that our Sail Away party doesn't get rained out.  The rain has been unpredictable but I'm sure we'll have a good time.
  Getting away from work is hard for me, but oh so necessary.  I'm feeling much more confident at work knowing that the business will be there then I get home - which makes it a bit easier to focus on my family when I'm away and just enjoy these amazing people I get to share my life with.
  This is a true first time for everyone adventure.
  And I can't wait.
But... I wish teleportation was a thing, because scrambling through airports really SUCKS.
