Vacation Part 2



Posted by: Roger Crawford
Vacation, Disney World

Well I hate to say it but my vacation is winding down and it will be time to gear up for more fun and adventures working for HTS. We had a great time on vacation and are already planning on where to go next year. My wife is thinking we need to go on a drive about which if you knew her she always wanted to fly places well I don’t fly and am thinking I am getting her converted into the driving mode of life. I know we was going over Mount Eagle Tn and they said man this is pretty and cool. My comment was wouldn’t have seen this flying. So we will see what next year brings even though I do still have time left this year to be able to do something more this year yet.

I am glad we put the time into exploring the different options for the Disney World trip. Like I have mentioned you can find very affordable places to stay 2 stop lights away from the different Disney Parks. We stayed at a place called  and used a service called Disney Neighbor and stayed in the Windsor Hills Resorts in a 3 bedroom townhouse for about 125 a night which when there is 6 of you the townhouse was pretty good idea. Plus we had a little 10 by 10 pool right out our back door all to ourselves. When you are looking at 250 and on up a night to stay on the Disney property that was a good deal. Plus we cooked some of our own meals and saved money on that also. So if you are planning to go to Disney World I would sure do your homework and save yourself some money.

Vacation Part 1



Posted by: Roger Crawford
Vacation, Disney World

It has been a great week of just doing mindless wandering about and wandering aimlessly around the world they call Disney World. I think back to one of my favorite movies The Matrix and when the one Dude tells Neo maybe you need to unplug man. Well that has been me. I have unplugged and joined the masses in doing nothing but walking, riding roller coasters and whatever else Disney World has to offer. I have learned Fast Passes are a good thing and are like gold for the must ride rides and that these need to be gotten early. We skipped staying onsite at Disney World and picked a townhouse in a gated community 2 stop lights away from the main Road to all the Disney Resorts and this has been a great choice. Saved money for one and we have had no troubles getting to or from and we can come and go as we please. We also can cook or whatever we waned to here and have made the trip easy to swallow because of the different places we saved money. The biggest expense was the Disney Tickets for 9 days but oh well we are seeing everything and sometimes twice.

We are off to the waterparks today and it will be a good day for it as it is suppose to hit 98 degrees today. Oh life is so tough……

I know I have been Bad

Vacation

It has been a while since I have posted and I know I am bad. I was gone for a week to the HP Train Event and that was all about learning about the HP MSAs and EVAs. The last 2 weeks since getting home from that was getting whatever work done I had hanging because guess what? I am off on a 2 week vacation to Disney World in Orlando. We all are excited and it has been a non stop list of things to do and sadly the blog has lost out. There are some things I can’t talk about that also has been taking up my time but when I can I will when I can.

Is it vacation time yet?

Vacation, SBS 2003, SBS 2008

I don’t know about any of you out there but I have been busier than busy the last 4 or 5 months and it seems like more than normal. Are you experiencing this in your world or has it been slow for you? I know I was talking to one of our other techs who concentrates more on the networking side and he has been in the same boat as me. 

Plus my wife and I are looking into adding onto our house. So add this to my work and there is not a lot of time left in the day and that is not counting the normal everyday things that comes with having 3 boys in the house yet from Plays, Band, Marching Band, Choirs, Track, and whatever thing they have going on and the 4 out on their own that still play into what you have going on and it can be plain nuts at a time.  Ok most of the time but it is rather enjoyable keeps you young.

But we are going to Disney World in June for 2 weeks so that is something to look forward to so of course there has been going over the books and things to do and one thing we did was get ourselves a rental town home right outside of Disney world. This saves us the cost of the on-site sleeping arrangements and the ability to come and go pretty much as and when and whatever we please to. Plus we can eat there before adventuring off for the day. I can’t wait for this to get here.
