Hi everyone. I'm back with yet another Trip Report. I hope to actually complete this one.
I am a semi-single mom to three grown adults (18,24 and 25). I own a busy massage practice outside of Boston and work part-time as a litigation paralegal because Imposter Syndrome is real and owning a business is not for the faint of heart. In my free time I'm on the Disboards, planning a trip, or claiming that I am not returning anytime soon.
This trip was planned as a solo celebration for my passing the MBLEX (Massage Bodyworks Licensing Exam). I have been a licensed therapist for about 10 years, but the state I practice in doesn't require you to pass the MBLEX. I live in a state that does require it, and I want to move my business closer to home. I've dreaded this test for about 10 years so passing was a big deal. I had a minor surgery in March which kept me out of work for 4 weeks. I was planning on doing this trip then, but I forgot about April vacations and I didn't want the crowds or prices. Can I add that I had a psychic reading in December who told me I would be having a big celebration in May, which I assumed would be my opening a second location. Turns out there were two "big celebrations" one of which was this trip.
Southwest had a pretty sweet sale about 5 weeks ago and I was able to get round-trip flights from Providence for under $200. Then I was able to find Port Orleans for $555 for two nights. So it was done! Driving home from work a friend from high school called me and I told her my plans. Now, don't get me wrong, I love JP and have known her for over 30 years, but man are we different. She is a neurotic, nervous mess. I'm more of go with the flow, nothing bothers me. Many many years ago she worked for me as a helper for my special needs son. I came home from work to find she re-arranged my kitchen applicances! She's a nut. But I love her. She suggested she come along. Since she isn't impulsive at all, I thought the chances of her actually coming along were slim to none so I said "Sure, why not". While I was on the phone with her she booked her flight. Yelp. Looks like the solo trip is now a girl's trip. While I've known JP for over 30 years and we've done day trips together we've never spent any extended amount of time together.
Who: Me and JP
When: May 28th thru May 30th
Where: Port Orleans
The Plan:
Sunday: day drinking. She excitedly told me that she has packed coffee cups with lids so we can drink wine by the pool. Trader Sams and a monorail ride
Monday: Magic Kingdom
Tuesday: Disney Spring, explore hotels, hand at resort and return home.
I'm off to finish packing. We leave in less than 12 hours!!!
