Look at that make-your-own waffle!! YUM! I like the Hampton Inn chain of hotels too.
Groceries, extra clothes and half of Walmart!! Well.done.you.two.
Thanks!
Did you have to buy an extra suitcase for all your Walmart goodies?
When I was a kid, we went to an absolutely awesome seafood place in Galveston...the boats pulled right up to the dock and unloaded directly into the restaurant...but sadly when we went back it had burned down.
Hope Casey's turned out to be good!
Jill in CO
The suitcase with the wine in it was purposely underpacked, it also had some water and sodas that we drank in Galveston. Additionally, Fran has a pouch that goes on the back of her scooter. We had it in the suitcase for the flight, but stuffed it full of purchases for boarding the ship.
Additionally, we carefully measured the weight of our bags for the flight. For the ship, we just made sure they zipped closed!
Casey's update coming soon.
I really like the Hampton Inn line too. In fact I've got it booked while I check out other Miami options but wanted to have it just in case. I've seen less expensive options but always know what I'm going to get with the Hampton/Hilton family. I also really like Marriotts.
That's nice that you were so close to a Walmart. When I read you had 5 bags I was wondering if one was maybe empty so you could pack all of the stuff you were planning to purchase at Walmart. I had no idea that Walmart sells wine.
Hope Casey's was yum. Glad you decided to take it easy and recoup from the late night/early morning flight. There's nothing worse than being exhausted on vacation due to never catching up from the travel.
We like Hilton chains, especially since that's where we have a credit card with points.
Some Walmarts sell wine, others don't, it just depends on the location. This one also had tuxedo jackets, presumably for those guys who didn't realize their cruise had a formal night!
I only found out about it a few years ago when my sister and I were flying in from somewhere and she had to go to that terminal for her connecting flight to San Jose.
OK...back to catching up on the thread....
That's weird, I used to fly to San Jose all the time and never did I have to use the mini terminal.
Bummer about the wine snafu.
I was thinking the same thing, how did you pack all the Walmart stuff to get on the ship?
Your room looks really nice.
I'm so glad Fran is having fun
Lots of cramming in, and lots of removing stuff from it's original packaging.
Sorry about the wine, I have never thought of packing the bags of wine... Have you done it before with success?
I like Hampton's but again I am a Hilton family person, so I try to stay at family branded hotels...
That was a small purchase at Walmart, but I am curious if you got it all in your suitcase?
This was my first time with the bags, and obviously a mistake. It was tight, but we got it all in. On the way home, we're going to need another suitcase.
