    Thank you so much. We do plan to stay the last night but so far the entire resort is sold out. It's Miss America's Outstanding Teen week.

    Not staying at Lowe's Pacifica but need to get there.... question on parking

    Hi, My daughter has a conference being held at Universal's Lowes Pacifica. We are not staying on property. Is there a way to park at the Universal parking garage and walk/boat over to this hotel without staying at the hotel? The hotel parking is $48 a day which seems steep. We're hoping the main...

    College selection vs cost

    Hi, May 1st just passed and my son decided on the school that was the right fit and the right cost. His heart was set on a school that was 78k a year. He earned their highest merit scholarship, but would have needed to take a significant loan. We ran the numbers and gave him the info. He just...

    IHG hotels

    Our best redemption was the Holiday Inn in Aruba. We stayed three nights x 2 rooms for free using our anniversary nights (husband and I both have a card) and our sign up points. Sadly, the points required for this resort have now gone up but I would definitely stay there again. Absolutely...

    How does DDs School Know I Haven't Filled Out FAFSA Yet?

    Seriously, fill the FAFSA out. My son is no academic genius either. He has learning disabilities and graduated HS with a 3.0 but he was so involved with community service that the college he attended gave him 20k in merit scholarship. We received NO financial aid. I, too, would be thrilled...

    Can any recommend a company that ships prepared meals?

    I noticed no one responded so I'll give you my best advice for what's it's worth (free). Google search caterers in your friend's area. I know a caterer in my area that always has meals to go for families and singles. It seems to be very popular and she delivers. It's worth a shot and you'll...

    Need to get a new credit card asap!

    Chase Sapphire Preferred. I wouldn't open any credit card unless they are willing to pay me at least $500+ to open it. Chase Sapphire gives 50,000 UR points which is one of the most valuable in the miles and points world. You can transfer it to airline partners like Southwest, hotels, etc...

    Can I avoid the counter at MCO with priceline?

    Thank you for this advice. I ended up going with Budget through Priceline. Alamo couldn't come close in price. I called and added my Fastbreak to the reservation and can now avoid the counter. Thank you again for responding!

    February 2018 rental car watch

    Just wanted to share that I used Autoslash and found a price I can live with. I ended up with a reservation for a minivan through Priceline and Budget. It was $407, taxes included, for 10 days with a drop off at a different airport. I ended up calling Budget with my confirmation number and...

    Can I avoid the counter at MCO with priceline?

    Hi, In the past, we've always rented from Alamo or National so that we can avoid the counter and go directly to the garage. Priceline has a better price for a rental through Alamo. It says I can pay at the counter. Will priceline send me the option of paying on the day of pick up online or...

    February 2018 rental car watch

    Still over $600 for a minivan with Alamo. I'm losing my mind. I never spent over $300 in past years.

    2017’s States with the Most and Least Student Debt & MORE!

    You are correct! I did use cost of attendance including room and board. College is much more reasonable if you can commute. LOL.

    2017’s States with the Most and Least Student Debt & MORE!

    University of New Hampshire is a four year, public school. It's 32k a year not 15k unless they are looking at one semester only. Keene State is $26,753 (instate). I'm just saying that I wouldn't trust all of these figures to be correct.

    2017’s States with the Most and Least Student Debt & MORE!

    The New Hampshire tuition is definitely off. It says average tuition is around 15k a year including room and board. I don't think so. UNH is at 32K, Plymouth State is around 21k plus room/board. The private colleges average 40k and up.

    Would you choose ‘07 Lexus ES or ‘07 Honda Accord for $6k

    I've been researching used cars for my 16 year old. The Honda Accord is listed as one of the top 10 best used cars. I would definitely go with the Honda with that amount of miles for a teenager! Good luck!

    Hello, Has anyone found a decent price for a minivan rental in February? I'm getting discouraged as the prices don't seem to be going down. Please share if you found a code that works! Thank you so much!

    Other than Disney...

    It really depends on what type of experience you want. There are two sections we have stayed at: Palm Beach and the condo section known as the low rise section. We prefer the condo section as it is quieter with fewer people on the beach. There are also waves which my kids enjoy. The Palm...

    I don't think anyone mentioned Aruba. We have flown SW three times to Aruba and it has been fantastic! They are out of the hurricane belt also.
