Ok, now I am sure most of you know we were driving to WDW on this trip. We were pretty excited. DS went to school, DH went to the bank and filled up the Suburban. I started to finish packing last minute things, go tanning and come home to shower and pack up the truck. DSS called at 9:30 letting us know he was on his way from N. Jersey to our house (suburb about an hour N. of Philadelphia). Plans are falling into place. Nicky (DSS) will be down by 12-12:30, pick Ant (DS) up from school and we should be on the road by 1:30-2:00. I leave to go tanning and get home at 10:30, run upstairs to jump in the shower and here "You are kidding me!" I look at Bob (DH) and he says Nicky's car is being impounded. I nearly had a heart attack. I had to call the school to have them tell Ant to take the bus home because we did not know if we would be home in time to pick him up. Now we have to drive up to Raritan, NJ to pick up Nicky and get his car. Turns out an officer ran his plate while he was stopped at a light and his license was showing it was suspended. Apparently when he moved he changed insurance carriers and there was a lapse and he never received the letter from DMV. Well his Grandparents straightened out his license, we had to go to the police station to show them he had his license back and get approval to pick up the car. Picked up the car and drove back home. Now I am panicking We finally get home, I run in the shower, Bob and Nicky pack the car and we head to Wawa to pick up sandwiches. Bob starts to feel like he is getting a migraine so I am doing the first leg of driving We get on the road at 5pm. Great "Rush Hour". Takes us over an hour to get out of PA. Panic sets in again as we guaranteed a room in SC to stay overnight so we have to make to the hotel. I drove until about 9:30pm, then Bob drove until about 11:00. He was too tired to drive any longer. Nicky picked up driving until about 1:00am and I finished the leg, getting us to the hotel at 4:00am. I set the alarm for 7:00am and I must have been asleep before my head hit the pillow: We get up shower, eat and head out again. Bob drove the rest of the trip and we finally arrived at the Polynesian Resort at 1:45

Will continue......
