"Will we ever move house? How about a trip?"

Background

So, some of you might remember our trip back in December to see the Osborne Lights one last time which was booked about 2 weeks in advance.

We got home and decided that we would put our house on the market (despite only buying it in Jan 2015)... so our house was officially put on line and about 9 days and after only 3 viewings (one repeat) we had agreed a sale for the full asking price to a cash buyer in rented.

We found a house to buy and started the process of getting our mortgage etc and about a month later we were ready to exchange contracts... except our buyer changed their mind!

Since then we have been on a rollercoaster as we agreed 2 further "sales" which resulted in more delays and who also pulled out after varying lengths of time.

We have finally found a buyer who seems to be serious although that has not been straightforward either due to a very awkward surveyor but we have finally ironed out the minor issues. So, we should be all sorted to move, right?

WRONG! Now, the seller's of the house we are purchasing have a boundary issue on the property they are buying and we are told it will take several weeks to resolve

So, we've decided to go and ride some real rollercoasters instead and have a break. Hopefully when we come back we will be able to move fairly soon.

The Trip

We are flying out with BA in economy and have booked 4 nights at the 
Buena Vista Palace for a reasonable price of $480.

Then we are going to drive up to Delaware, stopping for 1 night along the way, to stay with Jen and Tom.

After a few days we head back down to Orlando, with a stop in Charleston SC for one night. 

We will have 3 nights at the Dolphin for around £470. It will be our first time at an Epcot area resort and I am really excited!

Flight home is in World Traveller Plus for a treat :)

I haven't yet booked tickets or any meals but we will visit Sanaa as normal :)

We just need to figure out where to stop on the way up. We want to aim for somewhere about 9 hours away from Orlando but not too much of a detour.....
