***A COMPLETE*** 4 weeks of - A Mi11ion Dreams = 2018
Welcome back!
Or Simply Welcome if you are reading for the first time. The earliest ever start to a trip report and you never know all of those Autumn and Winter weeks of waiting for another day to appear will be sooner than you think - well the aim is to beat the early finish for the 2017 report! Every comment is always appreciated as it really does make me keep typing and I do try to reply to everyone with a question either on the main thread or by PM. If you click on the Thread Tools Icon above you can subscribe to this thread and receive an alert when a new day is posted - I will ensure this index is updated with each post Hope you enjoy the journey. Welcome to 2018 Now there is a certain tradition in all previous reports that I list all that has gone before. They are all contained in one central clickville here OR 2013 is a click here - Bel13ve 2014- Meet me in the land of hope and dreams 2015 - SpectroMagically Taking on the worlds Five weeks of magic and more 2016 - Follow that Dream. 2017 - A decade of Disney Dreaming As always, In Glorious Spectromagic... I present 2018 - A Mi11ion Dreams = 2018 It is possibly impolite to add a bit of music - but it may add to your reading of this title page - and for once it does not include Bruce Springsteen! Welcome The Cast Me - chief planner/ dibber and the person who has a piece of paper from a court of name versus American Airlines and proud! Click here for the detail My DW, who simply puts up with my own desire to be in Florida, yet also knows it is her only time in the year in which she does not need any allergy medication nor an inhaler for asthma. Answers on a postcard please! As mentioned in previous trip reports - and worthy of mention again – it is her full time working that means we can do all of this stuff. Thank you! Eldest DS Josh 14 – Current junior club captain at the local golf club and possibly a bit peeved to be missing out on a lot of competitions that will take place during our holiday. He did get the choice! He declined instantaneously. Youngest DS Joe 11 – and just finished Primary school. Drummer and comedian in the family ( sometimes inadvertently) his golf has improved 100% since last year so a bit of a point to prove. Now, A Mi11ion Dreams = 2018 might seem a rather strange trip report title. It came in an instant during Joe’s final day at school. I had never watched The Greatest Showman, yet when the song was played in his leavers assembly, it suddenly hit me as a song that would make a great soundtrack to our holiday but it had to be our title. It could have been a comfortable fit for every trip report I have ever written as the song resonated, it was so special to the school leavers and seemed a song that could describe every single Florida holiday. The 11 bit in the middle follows on from the decade title last year. The = bit is so special to all of us (something that we never expected when we set out) but something deep inside I had dreamed and it exceeded even that! I hope you enjoy sharing it with us. Here we go here is 2018 Pre trip Report and a bit of background to reveal too is a click here away.

I think it is possibly the sun and aircon combined, she does not even touch an inhaler whilst out there yet within hours of returning home it is back to the old routine. Allergic to the UK I thinks - we should just move out there!
Hope your wheezing clears up soon as it is horrible to suffer like this on a daily basis. Hope you enjoy this journey as much as the last and appreciate your continued reading of all this stuff. Thank you
