I cannot believe i won!  I've never flown before, never traveled that far away from home, never been to florida, never been to the ocean, which i will simply HAVE To go see while i'm that close, and i've never been able to give my family something like this, and know that i probably would never be able to afford it...i mean, it's almost a  $11,000 trip!! 

 

Just wanted to Thank Disney and Bryan at eBay, and the folks at Strobe Promotions, (Myra)...you've all been a great help and really did make a family's dream come true.

 

Now that's we're a family of 6, We have won the grand prize of eBay Holiday Dreams Sweepstakes!  BUT IT's only good for 4 people!!

And with my husband missing almost a month of work, and now only working half his hours due to an injury,....we cannot afford to take the other 2 with us.  Two kids will have to be left behind....  HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU CHOOSE?  

It's still going to be terribly hard,....our 15 year old daughter and our 15 year old niece both say they really don't want to go since it's going to cost so much...but you can tell they are just trying not to make us feel bad.  My 8 year old son offered to give up his ticket to our niece because she's "new" to the family...even though after we won, he Literally did a happy dance for about 30 inutes and called EVERYONE we know to tell them...i cried when i found out....seriously...been dreaming about disneyworld since I was a kid, and never made it..now's my chance!!

this is going to be torture!

Leave the kids at home and take friends. That will solve the choosing.

I'm planning on starting listing this week, but we have court dates all week pertaining to getting guardianship of our niece. there went $500 of our vacation money!!

We have to have the trip taken by December of 2007. and we have to decide the dates and who's coming within about 10 days to send it all in...so they can book the flights and hotels...
there's no way auctions would work....there's just not enough time, is there?

Get started today, list what you can when you get home from court each evening. Set your mind and you can do anything!
