    Best purse/daybag for solo?

    I've used a regular backpack for years, this is the first trip(solo!) that I'll be using my cinch sack back. I use it all the time on daytrips in NYC, so I figure the principle is the same. I've sorted my items and put them in mini ziplock bags so I'm not forever digging around trying to find...

    Adults and Solo Trips Central

    Going this week! Now I'm wondering if I should have booked MNSSHP. Never done it, didn't actually see the appeal much, even though I enjoy Halloween. Hmm.

    USWNT VT Game at Citrus Bowl

    Oh, lucky son of yours! Seems as though Orlando is a pretty enthusiastic soccer city, so I have a good feeling about the game. Glad to hear the Citrus Bowl is a good venue. I've seen mixed reviews when I went digging to see where I should be parking. People think I'm nuts for doing Disney...

    Home Renovation

    Lucky that your insurance covered the damage. I had a similar situation and I had to pay entirely out of pocket because it was water damage, and since I don't have flood insurance, it wasn't covered under homeowners. They also threatened to drop my policy if the repairs weren't made in a...

    JetBlue not flying to Lax from EWR?

    If for whatever you do end up having to switch from JetBlue, I'm a BIG fan of Virgin America. They're a little more expensive than say something like Southwest, but it was the best flight experience I've ever had. I'm not a good flier by any means, and I found a cross country flight to LAX...

    USWNT VT Game at Citrus Bowl

    Apologies if this is in the wrong section of the forum. \ Just wondering if there are any soccer fans planning to go see the US Women next week for their victory tour game. Got my tickets, it'll be my very first soccer game, so I'm excited AND nervous. Gonna do 2 Disney days, probably a...

    Solo budget

    Even when I'm not solo, I tend to pay the bulk of the bill, so I'm probably not the best adviser on this one. Hotel for me is always the big one though. I'm heading down next week for the USWNT soccer game, and a couple days at Disney. I set myself a 2000 max limit. The hotel is going to be...

    ALAMO car aisle Photos?

    Ohh, I like this idea. I'm forever dickering back and forth about what size to book simply because I'm a pick when it comes to rental cars. It's why I don't rent through anything but Alamo and National.

    Does anyone know about Vegas Brazil, LLC Alamo discount?

    Anyone use it recently? I'm holding two identical Alamo ressies, same car class and whatnot, one with the Brazil and one without, about a 70 dollar difference. Mine doesn't seem to include the insurance though, and I've been randomly checking the last two weeks just to make sure.

    Alamo Premium Selection at MCO

    Just booked a Premium for a 5 day trip in two weeks. Used the Brazil code and got a really good deal, but still have my backup EA ressie with National in case something twitchy happens in the meantime with that code. Really hoping for something sporty. I was tempted to book a convertible...

    1st solo trip ever and NERVOUS

    Thanks to all of you for your kind replies. I felt a bit ridiculous being so unsure. I'm in my early thirties, but I've always had family and friends around me, so I suppose I was just feeling a little strange for the first time not having that. You've all done a great job reassuring me that...

    Parking Rate Increase at WDW

    I pay less for full days in NYC garages when I get a good deal lol The RV parking in comparison seems like a good deal, only $2 more.

    1st solo trip ever and NERVOUS

    I'm leaving for my first trip solo to anywhere, ever, in two weeks and I'm having some stress about it. It wasn't my original plan to go alone. I'm a big US Women's National Soccer team fan, and there's a Victory Tour game in Orlando. I figured I might as well get a quick Disney trip in and...

    The Official October 2012 Car Rental Thread

    I pay for being picky honestly. I like being able to select my own car from the aisle, so I always use Alamo. This go around I found the cheapest rate to be with National. I needed an SUV for us girls and all our luggage, which I got for around $300 total for the week. We're also driving to...

    Touring Plans Predictions Oct 5-12?

    Looks like they were off about today too. It was listed as a 1 and the MouseWait indicator seemed like it was much fuller than predicted.

    Crowds: I'm no expert, but......

    We're going for just the day this Thursday and I'm hoping for lighter crowds. But looking at MouseWait today, it looked like the crowds were pretty heavy. I would have expected the heat to keep people at home.

    The Official October 2012 Car Rental Thread

    Leaving in a couple hours for LAX, and my rental rates never dropped. In fact they're more now. I know it's a little different than MCO, but still, I'm surprised.

    Touringplan predictions changed!

    Well honestly I'm a little concerned. I only have one day in DL, we're not even doing DCA, so crowds will be important for me. We're going Thursday Oct. 4th.

    Uggggg..Routine Dentist visit, what is your cost?

    My insurance works in that I have to pay my dentist upfront, and then they reimburse me about 80 percent back. And usually my routine cleanings are around $80. I had a filling replaced last time I went and that was $90. I'm in southeastern PA, far enough outside of Philly that I'm not stuck...
