Hey Amanda
So glad you put up your highs and lows. It was a wonderful trippie and one I'm sure I'll read again - whenever we get round to planning a west coast trip.

My BIG BIG BIG worry about such a trip is all 4 of us sharing a room as we travel around - my teens are a nightmare and I worry we might all end up at each others throats.

Anyway glad to read you're going back in a few months. Looking forward to the pre-trippie

Ah you finished, yay!

Love the trainer pic, so funny!

Fab that you have a new countdown, and a wedding to plan as well - many congratulations as I must have missed an announcement! Will it be in Florida, is it this year, are you going to tell me to wait for the pre-trippie, lol?!

LOL, well, I could laugh (sort of ) about the posh dog poop so it didnt quite get on the list of shame, Flushgate just wasnt funny at all Good call re SF , I do definitely want to go back , there was so much we missed

Lynn, very envious at your upcoming 4 weeks, - I dont know how we will do with 14 days after last year !

Sharing was hard - not least that we are early risers ,always have been ( get up around 5am for work) and the boys are night owls so there was always a tension as by 9pm we were dead on our feet and the boys would sit up for hours on their ipads and then when we were awake at silly o clock they were flat out And as for putting clothes away, keeping rooms tidy and sharing the bathroom with 4 chaps - ahem, lets just say I was super pleased to get to OKW

Trainers, trainers everywhere and not a pair to go running in ...

We got engaged just before Xmas - I didnt post on here ( I did in the Bikini Babes forum, my super weight loss buddies on here) - Andy surprised me - we have been together 9 years so I cant say we were rushing into it ! He has bought me the most stunning ring and I will post a pic of that in my pre trippy. I made such a twit of myself in the restaurant by crying as well

No its not in Florida this year - I did pitch for Vegas and NYC , Andy wants to marry in Italy ( looks sooooooo complicated though) as its a special place for us. So, as we cant decide, we have planned out honeymoon instead ( Australia) and will figure out the actual "getting married bit" at some other point. Oh gosh, that feels like a few trippies in there

I'm the same would go back to San Fran in a heartbeat. LA just didn't do it for us.

Amanda, spent the last few days reading this epic trip report, it brought back very happy memories of our honeymoon in San Francisco etc as well as our favourite places in Florida and California so thank you for taking the time to share and looking forward to reading the new one soon.

Ruth, thank you - I have been looking at some of the West Coast pre trippies for this year and it has made me quite nostalgic for last years trip - but , I am also excited for this year's unexpected return to Orlando and the different things we want to do this time

I have been so busy I have not checked in on the Trip Report section for ages so apols for the tardy replies but have decided I am going to try and read one full trippy each night from now on !
