Vacation is almost over for me.

Head back to the real world after five days on Daytona beach shores in an Oceanside condo, two nights at Disney for a concert. Going to get in a few hours at the beach in penesocola tomorrow evening before heading home Monday. I heard it is really nice in Indiana, ready for fall temps. But love the ocean/gulf time.

Sorry it is ending. Waking to the sounds of the waves is definitely enjoyable, but hearing those crickets early this AM with temps in that pleasant 55F range remids me why I like the midwest.

Be carefull on that trip back.

Fun area. My mom lives 20 mins from there. Did you go up the light house or look at the grounds/lens museum? Very interesting.

I tried to make it up the light house, made it up a flight of stairs before my fear of heights kicked in. My wife made it to the top.

I don't like heights much either but had to carry my 3yo up it. At one point I realized I was carrying him on my outside arm and he was basically over the railing. Awful feeling at that point. I was way more nervous after that gut check.

Fall temps are here already. WUnderground.com's forecast calls for the highest high in the coming week to be 86°F on Wed. and 65°F next Saturday. Again, those are both daily high temps.

Sounds like you did better than I. I have been on vacation this week also. A friend got me to come over to his new place, needs work. So I have been putting up paneling, touching up some drywall, fixing a lot of screwed up outlets, few new lights, and now waiting for them to finish painting the trim so I can put it up in the bedrooms.

On to work tomorrow to rest up, then this coming weekend to finish up. At least it will be cooler. Was hotter than heck in there this week.

Been a very long time since I was there. Been thinking of taking the wife unit there. What does it cost anymore??? How bad are the on site hotels??? Thx Probably be a little while before we go.

It's costing us around $4500, for 4 people, 6 days in the park, staying on property in a value resort. That includes dining. We go every year, and it gets cheaper for us each year as the kids get older and can't go for one reason or another.

We've stayed at Pop Century resort, and Art of Animation several times, both were great, this year we're staying at All Star Movies, just to see how it is. Never had a bad experience at a Disney resort.

We stayed at all star music. Holiday inn type rooms but cheap (100 a night).

Also, so, magic bands are awesome. We didn't take cash in the park at all.
