I know Pete was surprised.

I did also think it would be better to buy in when we have a better exchange rate, it would end up costing much less for us if we had more pounds to dollars! Obviously! On our first trip we got over $1.70 to £1...unheard of for many years...It's another reason in favour of the dining plan as £1000 spending money doesn't go as far these days.

I had been wondering if next year we should try to go at the end of August instead of the beginning as this would be different for us with all the Halloween stuff and the possibility of getting to a MNSSHP. But of course Max will be getting GCSE results next year so that's an added complication.

This TR really has been a joy to read along with

Can't wait to hear how this summers trip goes.

I have to say I love the cocktail summary - reminds me that I must make time for the Brown Derby Lounge for the margarita flight!

oh so now i'm blushing

Now I feel like I should be making a cocktail list for our trip in May. Hmm... I'm missing a planning trick! I'm most excited that Cali Grill has the Sake Martini back... and I really want another boozy night blossom in Pandora

Your trippiest are so detailed it makes for a great read. My favourite bits are seeing Max’s beaming smile in all your pics 😆 and your cocktails are inspirational

Sake martini? I've not heard of this! I do like a martini and I have booked up the Cali Grill for dinner so I might have to add that to the list!

I love looking at his happy, smiling face in the photos too I'm glad you enjoyed reading it as we had a fab time and it was fun to share it with everyone on here.

Aw what a lovely roundup!

Thank so much for taking the time to write this report I've really enjoyed it all, I almost want to start on your pretrippie now and the Paris report but I have actual packing that really needs to be done!

Sorry I'm so late to finish reading and bumping all your threads up again- I made a decision that I wanted to put a reply or comment to all trip reports that I read as an acknowlegment of the time people have put in actually writing their days so needed to find the time to do it! I know you've replied to me aswell but I chose to forge ahead and finish your report first but I will check them out late! Thanks again!

I'm grateful for all the comments you've made. I'm glad you've enjoyed reading the report. I'm the same as you, if I read a trip report I like to comment as I feel like it's an appreciation of the effort.

It's been fun for me to share it all again and remind myself of all the days. The days popping up a few weeks later is actually quite nice.

You do need to get your own packing done. The other reports aren't going anywhere and will all still be there when you get the time to read them.
