Inspection Trip to Walt Disney World, February 2001
This photo album are pictures taken during our whirlwind
tour of Walt Disney World February 9-11, 2001.
We flew down to WDW to meet with Diane, our Fairy Tale Wedding Sales Manager,
and to inspect the different Ceremony and Reception locations. We also managed
to squeeze in some park time, even though we were only in Disney for a grand
total of 40 hours!

Our
First Christmas As Husband & Wife - In Walt Disney World!
This photo album are pictures taken during our "First
Christmas in Disney" Vacation, December 19-25, 2001.
Not only is it our first Christmas as husband and wife, but it is our first
Christmas ever in Disney. And Christmas Eve was our four month anniversary!
What better way to commemorate the occasion than to spend it in the place
where our Happily Ever after began?

California
Layover - Universal Studios & Disneyland - May 27-30, 1999
This photo album is from the Layover we took in California
on our way to the French Polynesia in the South Seas (most people call it
Tahiti, though that is just one of the islands). John had always wanted
to see the Jurassic Park ride in Universal Studios (it wasn't in Florida
yet) and, being Disney lovers, we just had to see Disneyland.
French
Polynesia - May 31-June 9, 1999
This photo album is from our vacation to the French Polynesia.
It was so beautiful!! I hope to return some day. It truly was like a dream.
This was originally going to be our honeymoon, until we needed to postpone
the wedding due to financial and other reasons. However, as we had already
paid for the honeymoon vacation and had not purchased trip cancellation
protection, our choices were either to go anyway or lose our money. So of
course we went! We spent 4 nights/5 days on Moorea, 3 nights/4 days on Bora
Bora, and 2 nights/3 days on Tahiti. Moorea won by far as our favorite island,
though nothing could ever come close to beating Bora Bora in terms of the
most beautiful lagoon.
