I fooled around with the Carlisle website at work yesterday. I couldn't find the room I needed through them and didn't like the service fee concept at all. I went to expedia today and booked my room. I will be at the budget inn, which looks like a real crappy place, but has more stars than the knights inn. I knew not to expect too much this close, but I was afraid to commit until a few other details worked out.
The twins are great, I have neglected them horribly since their arrival between work schedules, other priorities and my inability to run nonstop anymore. I have some stuff to sort out on both, and I don't know yet which I will bring. I might not decide until the day I leave to be honest.
My plan, as of now, is to run the auto train from Orlando to DC. I figure it wont be too far off the cost of fuel and easier on the car and me (I haven't even tried a trip of more than 2-3 hours since my gut issues) I really don't know how well I will do with the road trip and I don't want to do myself in early on. I have a few stops I may make between DC and Carlisle to visit family.
After Carlisle, I plan to drive over to PGH to visit mom. My dad still has a house there, but IDK if he will be in town. He moved his main residence to AZ a couple years ago. I might be interested in checking out a PGH area cruise night, but I need to return to Orlando before the weekend so I can enjoy more work on Monday.
All plans are subject to change. I have no one else to accommodate on this trip, so it will be nice to do things spur of the moment... which I prefer.
