Wow it's been a while since I updated!

We now have just over 6 weeks to go so I'm started to panic a little about having everything we need.

I am just over half way on my spending money schedule.  With the amount I have saved we can just about survive there for two weeks!  Still need lots more in order to pay for all the meals I have booked and some extras.



I'm going to update here everything I've booked so I have everything in one place.

Flights booked and paid for.  Details arriving in the post in the next few weeks.
Hotel for the night before booked on booking,com, not yet paid for.
Car parking booked and paid for with avios miles.
Travel insurance paid for with avios miles also!
ESTA's done and screenshotted.
API's done.
Passports ready.
Money off vouchers printed.

Now that's the boring stuff out of the way!

'Ohana on the 25th at 9:35 for our last day.

Booked Alyssa and Charlie into Lilo's playhouse at the Polynesian for a few hours of activities, dinner, snacks, and possibly characters.  While Cameron and I will be peeing our pants at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios!

On the 15th we will be spending the day at Discovery Cove, snorkeling with sting ray and tropical fish, holding tropical birds, seeing otters and sloths and all sorts!  We wont be swimming with the dolphins this time as Charlie will be just under 6 (although they wouldn't know) and it's an extra £240 for that half an hour.

We will be getting our Seaworld tickets included though so I will make sure he gets to feed the dolphins there.  We'll have Aquatica tickets too but I'm not sure we'll have time for this.

And speaking of Seaworld, I have also booked and paid to Dine with Shamu.  We've done this before but before Charlie and it was brilliant so I wanted Charlie to have this experience too.

In the next few posts I'll be posted more detailed descriptions, with photos, of things we will be doing!

Currently Cameron, Alyssa and Charlie are convinced they are going to Scotland.  I've tried not to make it sound too exciting and we dont' really talk much about it so fingers crossed they won't be disappointed when I tell them where we're really going :D

I still have to figure out how and when to tell them!  I don't know whether to tell them on the day at the airport, in the hotel the night before, or before we even leave.  I don't have much time to figure it out!
