Cast:

Me Lisa 33
DH Kev 34
DD Diana 2


We got up alittle later than usual and since I had not talked to my mom I decided to call her. She then preceded to tell me about the WTC. My cousin and her husband both work for Morgan Stanley. I knew my cousin Donna was okay since she worked on 34th Street. I wasn't sure about Carlos her husband. He works on the bond market--but my mom called my aunt and they were all okay--Thank God. Kevin then turned on CNN and saw the second plane hit the tower. Pretty scary but they were still not sure if it was terrorism or an accident. We learned the planes came from Boston and it was little too close to home. Thought about my fellow travel agent Roxanne since her husband comes from San Juan on the American non stop. At this time there wasn't much news on where the plane was going to. Off to Epcot. Took in Spaceship Earth. Diana was alttle scared she wouldn't let go of my hand. Kevin was alittle scared since it sounded like terrorism. Of course I decided to call work and check my messages. I had a client who wanted to book a cruise and I was working on it. I decided to be connected with my outside agent "have you heard the news?" "yeah about the WTC" "no it is down to the ground" "Oh my God" "And they bombed the Pentagon" "Oh my God" I then run to Kevin and said what I heard. My best freind brother is stationed at the Pentagon--another person to worry about. When then went to the Coke station and tried the drinks. Beverly was different but not unlike a campari soda. We were planning on eating lunch in Epcot. Off to get a fast pass for Honey I shrunk the Audience. We went to the land and saw the film with the Lion King characters. This was something I never saw and it was good. After getting out of the film they said they were closing the parks

It must have been scary-not knowing what was going on. I am glad your family is ok though!
