If you know us at all you know that we like a plan<\/a>. \u00a0We like to try to know well in advance what we are doing and where we need to be. \u00a0In fact I have trips on my calendar right now all the way through September 2013! \u00a0Things might change but there are things that you plan and build the rest of the necessities around.<\/p>\n

Last year we attended the “First Annual” \u00a0Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic. We reviewed our seminar experience here<\/a>. \u00a0We reviewed the tastings on the causeway here<\/a>. \u00a0We enjoyed these events more than most of what we did at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival (and we did lots!). We gave the Swan and Dolphin folks email addresses so we would know when the festival would be in 2011. \u00a0In January they announced the dates, October 7th and 8th. \u00a0I immediately put it on my\/our calendar! \u00a0This would be a can’t miss for us.<\/p>\n

Because we learned about this event late last year – we did not have our choices of all the seminars — sold out. \u00a0I forgot to post that about 6 weeks ago, they posted the seminars and opened registration for 2011! \u00a0If you are interested in details and\/or signing up, visit this link<\/a>. \u00a0We registered the week the seminars opened!!<\/p>\n

Last year we met several of the staff at the event and are so excited to see them again, especially Chad. \u00a0Chad was the manager at Kimono’s<\/a> but since we last saw him (shame on us for not keeping up with him) he has moved to BlueZoo<\/a>. \u00a0Our few experiences at BlueZoo have been most excellent. It is pricey so we only go when we have friends who are interested in going. \u00a0We are frugal so we rarely spend big bucks on meals — unless we have friends to share it with! (This is part of smart spending and creating experiences with your money.)<\/p>\n

Kate and Calvin have also signed up for Saturday night. \u00a0Last year we did not stay late enough to enjoy the music. \u00a0What we did hear, especially the jazz was great. \u00a0We plan to take cabs this year and make a night of the event. \u00a0A plan is made and even for an event that is local and just for an evening – I put it on the calendar 9 (almost 10) months before it arrived.<\/p>\n

Now I’m starting to add Epcot Food and Wine musical acts to my calendar (announced last week). \u00a0ELO is playing this year. \u00a0ELO was how Nora wrote her Master’s Thesis… Well this is what she played at high volumes while she slogged away at an original Mac with only a floppy drive. \u00a0I figure seeing ELO will bring a smile and a grimace to her face.<\/p>\n

Just remember if you want to do things with us – we plan far, far in advance. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
