Alex's Make-A-Wish Trip: Day 1

once again i have waited too long to post. with so much going on its hard to get time to write a blog. but this semester/quarter is over, finals are done and i am ready for my break. and  a great start to my break is alex's make-a-wish trip to Orlando. got up early this morning and made it the airport. got through security, which was a trip lol. with damien's implants and alex's wheelchair. but, got through that and on to waiting for the plane to arrive and breakfast. have i ever told anybody that McDonald's sucks. we got to go on the plane first and get good seats, so that was a plus. then the two little boys got to meet the pilot and sit in the cockpit, it was great. donovan got so bored during the flight... his DS died, he didn't want to color, didn't want to do his brain teaser book, nope on reading, nothing. alex got sick, more nauseous than anything. i gave him 1/2 a dramamine and he fell asleep. lena and walter read their books and colored. walter didn't get sick till we landed though. he's had an upset tummy since we landed, ended up giving him a dramamine and felt a bit better. other than needing her usual nap, lena faired pretty well. damien had a nic fit. by the time we landed, he needed a smoke real bad. me, i just sat back and read my book. till we started to land, then i got so queasy. i just knew i was gonna throw up, but somehow made it to touchdown. all in all, we did pretty good.


we are staying at a little private resort for special kids called Give Kids The World. and they have been so great since we landed! we had a greeter meet us at the arrival gate, help us with our luggage, and show us through the airport to baggage claim, and to the rental counter. once we got to GKTW, they fed us, showed us to our "villa" and even provided us with tide and cokes. its great! later, the two boys took a bath in a water-jet tub and ate pizza for dinner. now we are all winding down and getting ready for bed. going to EPCOT tomorrow, and will have LOTS of pics to post soon. 


later!

Blessed Be All...
