[msnsad] Today we should have flown to Florida [msnsad] As many of you may recall we had booked for four weeks flying out 30th July, but due to our business getting a large contract starting in August we had to postpone in till next July[msnsad]
What made it even worse was seeing the Virgin flight take off this morning from our back garden[msnsad]
Don't know if we can wait till next July. we are thinking maybe we should bring it forward and go at Easter.
I feel really fed up[msncry]
oooohhhh poor you i would bring it forward to easter......
for me the soooner the better....can't wait to get back to florida:D
Maybe you can squeeze in a little Florida Christmas shopping too ? [msnwink][msntongue]
....OR even Christmas. You don't mean that you are going 2 years without a break,do you?
I would like to go and see the Christmas lights etc, it just a bit difficult with school holidays, but will see what we can do[msnwink]
Its the one time of year we have not been[msnsmile]

The way to look at it is that there are far worse reasons for having to cancel your holiday.:D:D At least hopefully by next summer the business will be more established and you can then hopefully leave it in someones capable hands. Next year will soon come round and you'll appreciate it even more if you have waited a little longer.
Sorry to hear that you had to postpone your holiday, as you said watching the plane take off must have been so sad. Looking on a brighter note you have something to look forward to next year and a bonus is you have a large contract for the business. Good luck with your next holiday in Orlando. Christmas, Easter anytime is a great time.
Deepest sympathy Mach !
Can Liesa, Jan and I do anything to cheer you up ? (ref. our efforts to make Liesa smile in earlier postings in Off Topic! )
Good for business, but not so good to miss out on your planned trip

Anything would be very welcome, whats making matters worse is the fact that its cold and cloudy here[msnsad] I could cope more if it was sunny and warm[msnwink]

I am totally impressed that the Virgin flight took off from your back garden. You must have some lawnmower Lucy!
Don't worry - it'll be all the sweeter when you do actually get there.

Definately try for Christmas, especially if you haven't already been. We took our lads out of school two days early, they weren't doing anything the last week anyway! This made the flights nearly half the price of actually in the school holiday and allowed us to get just over two weeks in. It was really magical, go on you know you would love it, spoil yourself.:D
You must be really disappointed, but at least you can plan it all again!!
I have never been for Christmas because my husband cannot take the time off because of his business.
Hopefully he will be able to retire soon and we will be able to get out and do all the things I have read about on the forum!!

We have transfered the flights over to July 15th 2006, but not booked the villa yet, but Im seriously thinking we should go at Easter as we could do 3 weeks without the little ones missing too much school[msnwink]
If they are very little ones I don't think it matters
My suggestion;2 weeks at Christmas and 2 weeks in August;something to look forward to when you are working hard
When we started our own business,I quickly learned to factor in holiday times that were sacrosanct,otherwise you never stop!
HI Julie I can understand why you are fed up today but just remember when all those people have returned from their holiday and are back to the day to day toil you still have yours to look forward to and you can never put enuogh thought into planning a Florida holiday. Also after the success of this business deal you will need a good holiday . If you really get desperate for a wee Florida break I was looking up Aer lingus website for November and there were terrific bargains , I was tempted but thank goodness my husband is the practical one in our house ,also he muttered something about unpaid visa bills . Julie I hope your businessprospers and when the holiday comes have a ball.
Julie never mind, your hols will soon come round and look at all the extra money you are making, that you will be able to send on your next visit. Why not try a small visit for Christmas or New Year,we are going for New Year and have also never been at this time of year.
I would definately book for Christmas, you will feel a whole lot better for it and just think when most of us will be freezing cold in December you will be enjoying the warm sunshine in Florida [8D] [msncool]
Dave.
Thanks everyone!!! [msnsmile][msnsmile][msnsmile]

Im researching[msnsmile][msnsmile][msnsmile]
I hope this will make you feel better. Recently the weather in my mind has been awful. It's either been inches and inches of rain or temperatures in the late 90s to early 100s which is way too hot for me and my kids. Park lines (as confirmed by my kids - and more recently myself at MGM this weekend) have been a joke. Certain rides at MGM were two hours long in that heat! Then when that wasn't bad enough the heavens opened on us suddenly and absolutely drenched us!
I can think of far better times to be in Florida than right in the middle of July-August, which in my opinion is the worst time to be here for a number of reasons...traffic, too many tourists, hot/rainy weather, absurd waiting lines at the parks...I could go on....

Everyone that moves to FL from up here treats the FL summer like they do winter.....its the time to stay indoors.....do up the house......and think like there is 4ft of snow outside.....then have spring and fall as summer....
Mucho commiserations, This year we had to cancel the day before travel due to a close relative being gravely ill. Hopefully the insurance will pay up. We have also booked up for next year!! Now all we have to do is watch the countdown timer for another 11 months.
