Day 1 I actually made a mistake and this day will be the same no matter what. It is day 2 or 3 that will have different scenarios. So Mr. Cheapo made me wait to buy airline saying they will go down. They have not and they have really gone up. So we found a good deal on Southwest flying out of Islip. It is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from us but it will be early in the morning so should not be busy. Our plane. Ok maybe not our plane but it should look like it. ;D Flight is 8:30 so I think we will leave around 5:30 so we have a little extra time. I have never been there so need some bearings. Maybe stop somewhere and grab breakfast. I figure we should be at the resort no later than 1pm. Now comes the best part of the trip. Leaving at 9:57 am from Florida and getting in at 12:30 pm will be Scott and Aubrey and Scott's gf. Now you may ask who are these people? Well Scott is Vinny's son and Aubrey is his granddaughter. She is a senior this year I believe. They live a few hours away and will be coming by train. We have not seen them in 4 years I believe. Very excited to see them. Vinny is not happy that Scott is bringing his GF but oh well. Now I think I said earlier this is not a scenario a or b but it is. If they have tickets for the first day or not.... Up next, both plans.

Islip is a great airport to fly out of, the long term parking lot is a walk across the street and I believe it is only 11.50 a day to park, I love to fly out of Islip. I will wave as you pass by There are only 2 places to eat that will be open in the morning a Starbucks and a sandwich place that serves breakfast. That is nice that Vinny will get to see his son and granddaughter.

Maybe you'll get to fly on one of the fancy SW planes. Sadly I have only seen them at the airport in Orlando.

I noticed the airfares did go up. I'm so happy I booked when I did. My return trip went from $196 to $210! I might of backed out of the trip.

I have heard really great things about Southwest, although I have never flown them myself. Your trip is really just around the corner!!!

Now it is $14 which is still not bad. I think it went up last week. The website changed all of the sudden. I will honk the horn. Starbucks sounds good to me. That may have changed with Scott. I will tell more when I know more. That would be nice. I have seen it there only too. Well thankfully you bought the tix in time. I am so afraid for my weight. I have heard horror stories. 37 days. IO cannot wait. I hope so. Hope they don't charge for me for 2 seats. I have heard stories.

I will update tomorrow. Vinny spoke to Scott last night and he was then going to come up for Thanksgiving instead of Disney. It went fine till Vinny told him his gf could not come. He said book the tix. When I text him to ask about the return flight he said to hold off. Still waiting....

Bad trip writer.
Things have changed so much. I think I will not write this but will definitely do a tr.
Dining has changed so much.
No Scott or Aubrey.
