That's the place I was referring to when my husband tried to check it out. :scared: Beth

Our small dog is so spoiled that she could never be kenneled. So we have made an arrangement with a neighbour who takes her to their home for the duration. We don't want to get into the pet swapping thing so we pay them $20 a day. It's a win/win for both of us and our dog looks at it like...

A very sobering message. My heart goes out to her and her family. :grouphug: Beth

A co-worker just got back from WDW yesterday and flew from Buffalo for the first time. They spent the night prior at the Days Inn. Not good. :sad2: I've heard good things about the Holiday Inn Express though. Beth

Nope - nowhere near the GTA. I heard about this from a friend who had his van stolen in broad daylight last year. When he called the police, they didn't even take a report and told him to call his insurance company. There's something so not right about this. No wonder our insurance rates are...

I'm making the assumption that your're taking I-95, I-26, I-77 to I-79. If that's your route then that's a tough one because half way would take you to north of Charlotte NC. You'll find hotels in the area but not much in the way of shopping. If you're planning to stop in Grove City though...

I hate to break the news to you but I rather doubt that there is a single drop of water on the planet that hasn't passed through someone or something's body many times. :drinking: Beth

Yikes!!! Our largest local mall has at least one car stolen a day. The police don't like to let that information out but it's true. :eek: Beth

I think someone is pulling your leg. Heck in the Ft. Lauderdale neighbourhood where my daughter lives, people who moved in from out of state still don't change their plates to Florida plates years after their move. There's some sort of financial benefit to them not to. You certainly won't be...

I got a good deal on some big-ticket items from Future Shop yesterday. All I went in for were speakers for my laptop and I came out with a new laptop for my husband and a small HDTV for the kitchen. They were both such good deals that I had to do it. :blush: Beth

Southwest isn't always the best for rates. One of the things that I like about flying out of Buffalo is that you have your choice of many carriers. So far I've used Delta, US Air, Southwest and AirTran. They were all comparable so it all boiled down to who had the best route and rates for my...

We also have several local airports but we're talking about international flights. That limits which ones are viable. I have children who are US citizens so I know what your taxes are like and trust me, you have no idea what a heavy tax burden is. There is no comparison. ;) Toronto has...

We considered this option before we realized how affordable my regular cell phone was. The only catch is that nobody at home knows the phone number with the throw-away phones. While it may work for us calling them, nobody at home would know how to get in touch with us. Hmmm.... that might not...

I also am on a monthly Rogers plan and use my cell phone all the time in Florida. Granted I'm very conscious that the cash register is ticking and keep my calls short. But even with that I've never had the outrageous bills that I keep reading about. :confused3 My calls cost approx. $1 per...

My understanding of international flights is that you MUST be at the gate at least 2 hours prior to departure. With that in mind, the closing of the counter makes perfect sense. Beth

That's a shame that you encountered that. :sad2: We've been very lucky because we travel with very little cash, using credit cards everywhere we can. I'm not comfortable knowing that I have a lot of cash on me. If I lost it, it's gone. At least with the credit card, I can get compensated...

It might only be Pilot along I-75 so far but in the south part of Florida, you could run into that at any gas station. It isn't even consistent through the company. I know of two Mobile stations in W Ft Lauderdale where I can't swipe my card but at others I can. There really doesn't seem to...

I just got an email from AirTran with seat sales to MCO for travel until the end of Feb. 2008. One way from Buffalo $79.00. I don't need it, but maybe some of you can use it. :thumbsup2 Beth

We ordered a new Maytag range a couple of years ago but when it was delivered, it had a chip in the enamel on the top, so I told the delivery people to take it back. A week or so later the replacement arrived, also chipped in the same place. Back it went. By this point I'm ticked. We went...

There are a lot of us who no longer fly out of Canada. Other than a flight to Jamaica earlier this year when I wasn't the person making the arrangements, I haven't flown out of Canada for a US destination in years. (I just re-read my post and yes - I do realize that Jamaica isn't in the US...
