We just read that he must come within 6mo of visa issuance. So, that's a kinda short window since he hasn't been able to find a job in the US (maybe now and with the visa that'll change) and he's very scared to quit one job before he's got another. And he liked his job. And I might be moving because I'll go anywhere in the US he can find something. So, big changes! And, we probably won't book our WDW trip until this stuff is settled. Of course, being together after seven years is worth the hassles!
Originally Posted By ophellia Amen to that Dreamin...being together will make it all worthwhile... thanks all, Iam so lokking forward to this move...I adore this area...I will miss it, and the friends I've made here. I have some big news to reveal soon, Good news! I must be patient as I complete this move... suffice to say...I am VERY happy,and can't wait to breathe some sticky deep Southern air...I'll be only 65 miles from WDW and will go often...I'll be living on a barrier Island just north of Daytona...and performance oppertunities abound! Singing for fun AND profit and a Community Theater as well...much fun! My move is in late July, butIam waiting til September for WDW.
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Cool, ophellia! I am glad to share in your excitement. I am also not into sleeping on the hard ground anymore. But, that's what my parents did when I was in scouts. I wonder if I will be doing it when I have kids. I think taking an RV on a road trip with future kids to a national park sounds fun to me. (I know, random.)
Originally Posted By ophellia I tried an air mattress once....forgot batteries for the pump and had topay HI $$$ for them at the store at the camp ground it lasted for 1 year, then deflated one night while I was sleeping and I woke up on the cold cold ground... it filled my little tent, but was comfy

Originally Posted By smedley Not that weird over here really. It started as just the zoo and some slot machines many years ago, then the theme park side of it developed. Check it out www.draytonmanor.co.uk They have a great inverting rollercoaster called G-Force which doesn't have shoulder restraints and the initial pull takes you to inverted before you drop
Originally Posted By ophellia whoa, sounds scary! I'm doubtful I'll ever go o ToT either...I don't know...anyone been on it? Is it as scary as I fear?
Originally Posted By smedley You know I really don't think it's very scary at all. You're inside so you don't really 'see' the drop as such.. I am pretty sure I could find someone to take you on and hold your hand next October

Originally Posted By ophellia hhhhmmm, well I'm inspired...and perhaps I'll get caught up in The Magic and go for it...maybe... I'mm getting boxes packed for shipping...and taking 100's of pics of this area as I really do love the beauty here...but I know I'll also love the beauty in Forida...I will be living on a barrier island and everyone there refers to 'The Mainland', I think that's funny! So how's Summer treating everyone?

I LOVE the PacNW where Iam now, and it's hard to leave here...but a whole new adventure awaits... where is everyone???
