Yay, I'm SO excited. Even though I'm travelling light, I'm thinking of throwing in a few clothing items/ accessories that I no longer want to see if anyone wants them. Maybe our own little swap meet?

Sorry to be MIA - the perils of being a freelancer! I'm on an urgent last minute project that looks like it may continue tomorrow.

AJ - I have your cell, and will leave mine in a PM for you!

We will miss seeing you Kim and Tarzy!

I just realized why I missed all of these threads (duh!). The "other" threads don't show up on the home page, do they?!

Claire, find AJ then hit "view forum posts" and it will show you a list of all the posts I've written.

Thanks AJ! I thought every thread ever posted started on the home page.
I'm having a packing crisis. I wonder if black pants would be too hot. I hate being cold. Maybe I'll just come with my hand bag and buy everything I need!

Aida

Veteran

Claire I have no idea what to pack either! I'm doing it tonight (talk about procrastinating). I plan to bring a pair of black jeans, and otherwise shorts. I figure I can toss those jeans on if I need to? Looks like daytime temps around 80 and I assume evening temps around 65 (because full-on low temps are 58, but we likely won't be outside for that). I MUCH prefer to be cold and add layers than hot and unable to remove layers.

Aida, I think we should have our suitcases in the trunk all day in case we need to do a costume change!

Aida

*giggle* I was considering NOT bringing the small KS bag and instead bringing my largest tote and stuffing ALL of my clothes into that so I could change in any bathroom as I felt Weather Stressed

AJ

I'm bringing full length leggings to put under my skirts if I get cold. Which skirts...I haven't a clue yet!

I LUV the idea of keeping our suitcases in the trunk!! Brilliant!

I am here, hot, exhausted, and happy. I can't say I look fab but Disney is hardly a hotbed of fashion. It is HOT! We are crashing early as the redeye wiped us out. It is supposed to cool down to 70s by Sunday. Hugs and see you all soon!

Yay Una, get some good rest and we'll see you soon! I don't care if you're wearing Crocs as long as you make it to the meet-up!

We're here in LA everyone! I arrived first at John Wayne Airport and got a Starbucks while I waited for AJ. We knew each other instantly when she got off the plane. Here's what we traveled in. We have already changed our toppers and probably will again before we go out with Aida later tonight! Before long we will be sharing clothes like teenagers!

*edited to mention that while we were hamming it up at our photo op, we almost missed the hotel van. Luckily, our driver found us and escorted us to our carriage.

Claire is so lovely!! Isn't she cute with her ruffle top and cardi combo?! Also she is wearing leopard flats....so stylish!

We are chatting it up and enjoying the bit of cool breeze and low 70's weather! We're impatiently waiting for Aida to get here! We've already stocked up on late night snackies...let the slumber party begin!!

Just arrived, and before dinner we had to do some photos and a group shot! AJ is just as cute in person and Claire just as gorgeous. I expect we are going to have WAY too much fun together

Yeah! So glad you made it! I'm wondering if Aida's flight got delayed by the fog at all? Its pretty foggy here in San Clemente tonight! You guys might have had "Weather Stress" while packing - but, I LIVE here and I'm having "Weather Stress" too! Its been so hot all week - and then today the temp dropped over 20 degrees and it was chilly! I think I might have to bring a change of clothes with me as well tomorrow - just in case I'm too hot - or too cold - who knows???

SO STINKIN' EXCITED!

Marley

OMG - you guys posted that last pic while I was writing my response! Yeah Aida made it - you all look gorgeous - have a great dinner - and don't stay up too late tonight - you have to be "fresh" for tomorrow!

what a gorgeous picture of the three of you. I do hope you got some sleep and didn't keep the rest of the hotel awake with your late night partying!

Aida, thanks for the update! How do you look so fab and fresh just off a plane??? Wow.
Happy to see that your new bag accompanied you.

What a gorgeous group! Claire, the color of that top is just phenomenal on you. I am totally loving AJ's black dress too.

Look forward to hearing more. What a great weekend!

You guys all look SO fab while traveling! You're the ones that always catch my eye (as I'm on airport duty for some other lucky family member and you look savvy and stylish!

I'm enjoying the updates and pics as the weekend progresses - helps us all feel a little bit of the fun

Wowie Zowie!! I had such a blast today!!

It started off with me fretting about what to wear because it was warmer than I was hoping. Luckily I did pack a pair of shorts at the last minute and came up with something I wouldn't have thought of before. Yay!

Vicki invited us over for brunch and words can not even describe how KILLER to the power of killer is her decor. Vicki and her hubby, Mike, are so FAB and welcoming and gracious hosts!! The food was DELISH!

After talking and taking our bag and shoe shots, we headed off for shopping day #1. Everyone bought something FAB, but Aida hit the motherload of ultra FAB stuff. (Angie get ready for liftoff!!)

We ended up hitting two shopping centers and had a AWESOME dinner at a yummy mexican restaurant.

I'm being vague because a blog post will be written in the near future, so stay tuned for that!

Y'all everyone is even more amazing then you would think from the forum. I am having a SQUEE-ing good time!

1) The Mojito was AWESOME!!
2) I promise that Rae only had one drink!

You guys, this is just the limit of awesome!! I can't believe you have a whole YLF weekend going on! It sounds like entirely too much fun and I can't wait to hear all about it!

Should we advise your families that you all will probably not be returning home? Sounds like they're going to have to go to LA and drag you all apart.

Can't wait to hear all the juicy details! Sounds like the weekend to end all weekends!

what a lovely start to your weekend!
