Well today is the big day! The day I go on my muggle vacation. I still don't understand how they can fly but not be on brooms. I am so excited I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep. It's just after 1am and I have to be up at 3:15am. I'm all packed with everything I could ever need.

Small change of plans though. My muggle uncle and cousins can't make it til Tuesday, so I'm thankful that my aunt is already down there and I can stay with her at her hotel until the conference is done. We'll just meet up with my uncle and cousins on tuesday in stead of monday. I cannot believe I get to go to Disney World!!!

Have a great week everyone! I will post when I get back on Saturday!

My goodness, have I ever been busy lately. Classes are going well but that doesn't mean there is less work. Witch watchers is helping me though, and I've managed to transfigure 6.2 pounds of me into thin air. I just wish there was a way to chose where to splinch ones self while apparating. That would make this business so much easier.

More about my muggle vacation.

Well it turns out that March is a very popular time for muggles to travel to Orlando to visit Disney World. The flights are so packed that we can't fly on my uncles passes, so I had to book a flight today and it cost me 560 galleons! I was shocked, but that was the best price. Some placed wanted double or even triple that! None the less, I'm very excited. 12 days til I get my muggle passport and 18 days til I get to leave. I couldn't be more excited!

20 Days to go!!!

I went down and got my forms handed in for my muggle passport today. I need it because in 20 days I will be flying, not by broom, but by airplane to Florida with my Aunt, Uncle and 3 small cousins. We are going to be going to Disney World!!! I couldn't be more excited than I am right now. I've known for a couple weeks now, but now that I am certain that my passport will infact be here in time, it's a go! I've already got the time off work and paid for my passport. So pick it up 2 weeks today and then go! I get a cheap flight because my uncle is a muggle and works for the airlines so we can fly on his family passes. It would be cheaper for me to go on my broom, but as I've never flown that far by myself before, I'll pay the 200 galleons and go with them. My young cousins are 6, 8 and 13 and the youngest has never been before. It will be fun to discover the parks with him, him for the first time, me for the first time in 10 years!!! Anyway, back to work, I had to share though. Have a great day everyone...I know I will!
