Before I lose you all to insane verbosity, here’s a little summary of what we did:

7/10/06-7/11/06: Drove from Carmel, NY to Santee,SC, then to Walt Disney World

7/11/06-7/22/06: Walt Disney World (got married on 7/17!)

7/22/06-7/29/06: 7-Night Disney Cruise to Castaway Cay (twice!), Costa Maya and Cozumel

7/29/06-8/1/06: Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld, Discovery Cove

8/5/06-8/15/06: Walt Disney World

8/15/06-8/16/06: Drove from Walt Disney World to Fayetteville, NC, then to Carmel, NY

• We stayed in 7 hotels as well as a stateroom on the Disney Magic.
• We ate at 31 restaurants, not including those we went to twice (or, in the case of Jiko, several times) the restaurants on the cruise, on the way to and from home, or snacks around the parks (like Turkey Legs and Mini Donuts!).
• We visited Mayan Ruins in Mexico and spent enough money on spa treatments that I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life.
• We went on safari twice, toured the world on segways, and went onstage several times. There’s a ton more, but hey, I never said this was a complete summary. You’ll have to wait for the best stuff.
