Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 To All That Want To Listen (Read) To Me Vent: As some of you may know, was granted a wish from A Special Wish Foundation to go to Disney in Florida. We left northern ohio on Tuesday August 31st at 2:30am. We travelled by Amtrak to New York City for 9 hours. We then transfered trains and started down on the 21 hour ride to Miami. During this entire time we managed to cram 4 adults and one child in a handicap sleeper! Well, things were going pretty well until we just left ville. We were only 1 hour away before I got the dreaded phone call. Joe is one of the people who helped us with s wish and he called to give us some bad news. He said that we needed to turn around immediatly and when I asked why he said that hurricane Frances was supposed to be twice as worse as the last one. At that time I didn't even know there was supposed to be a hurricane. He said that Disney was already shut down and Give Kids The World was sending people home. (That is the village where " special " children and their families stay.) Well we ended up getting off at Paletka Florida. (I believe that is how you spell it.) We had to take the next train to Washington D.C and transfer again to Elyria, Ohio. So all in all we spent 4 travelling on a train for no reason. They said that we could rescedule the wish for anytime but we may have to wait until next year so my dad can go. So I just wanted to say Thanks Frances. You have officaially ruined a childs wish. PS: Good luck to those who live in or have family in Florida. Liz mother to 2.5 yrs _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
