    Comcast makes offer to merge with Disney

    The thing that bugs me is that back when Comcast was purchasing the ATT business, they specifically said that they wanted to be known as a cable tv company. They were all about the delivery, not creation, aspect of the entertainment industry. In fact, they didn't even want to promote the...

    ORH airport in Worcester, MA

    Don't forget about Providence! It's only about a half-hour or so from Worcester, and they have Southwest. Simba's Mom, they haven't done anything about the Instrument Landing System there, and since the new access road isn't going to happen (they'd be destroying a lot of homes), I wouldn't be...

    Vanguard--NO tickets, NO money HELP!

    just stepped up and said they will honor Vanguard tix where space is available. Might be worth a phone call, but you'll likely have to fly through their hub in Chicago (Midway, not O'Hare!)...

    Fly in to Tampa?

    You know what's funny about this drive? You'll be heading up I-4, seeing signs that say "Orlando 40 miles" or whatever, thinking (at least I did!) ok, about another half-hour or so to get there. Well, if you think about it, WDW is actually west of Orlando proper, so the exits for WDW are right...

    Anyone ever stayed at Marriott Royal Palms?

    Pattinj, You'll love it! We stayed there May of last year. Our unit was in really good shape, I believe they were renovated sometime in '99-'00. Kitchens have all the appliances you need, plus silverware for up to 8 people. TV in the living room was big, smaller ones in the bedrooms...

    Delta

    I did see that DLX will continue to serve the 5 cities in FL that it does now from Boston, just that the frequency will be cut way back. So Micol and beattyfamily, if you're flying out of Boston, it couldn't hurt to call now to see if you can get on whatever's left on BOS to MCO. Also, they...

    Drive from Tampa

    I had no problem doing 75, heck I almost got run off the road in a few places. Saw only one trooper, around exit 22. If you are staying at Disney proper, you can take about 15 or so miles off of the distance to Orlando signs, as WDW is west of Orlando. And before you know it, you're seeing...

    A quick stop at the Boardwalk

    Hi, Just back from doing some work in St. Petersburg, and since I wound up having the last day (9/21) of the trip open, I thought I could nothing better to help our economy than by making a quick trip up to WDW. I chose the Boardwalk because I wanted to grab an ESPN t-shirt as well as lunch...

    Give yourself lots of extra time

    Try at least 3 hours for me! I was flying on AA tomorrow, but they cancelled both my flights, and rebooked me on Delta. So, I have to go to the AA counter first and get some paperwork from them to give to the DL counter people. Should be lots of fun standing in two lonnng lines. Now I'm just...

    Question for Beverly Lynn or anyone else who can help...

    A few years ago some show like 20/20 or 60 Minutes said that in crash landings, most of the people who escaped were in the back of the plane. I distinctly remember watching this show, but I don't remember how the came to this conclusion (what crashes they studied, etc.)! But this obviously...

    Park/Fly hotel Logan Airport

    Kat, Have you tried calling the Hilton at Logan (http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/hotels/index.jhtml?moreDesc=true&ctyhocn=BOSLHHH)? While I don't think they run any "stay here and park for free" deals, they are connected to the Central parking garage. You can park your car there and take the...

    May/June 2001 Trip -- Part 4: Disney-MGM Studios – You Will Succumb to the Dark Side!

    Did you get caught in the rain after all? We got stuck on Tom Sawyer island in MK--talk about soaked! But it was a lot of fun. Great reports!

    "Exit Row" on Delta flights

    I would imagine it's easier to find them on DL Express because there aren't a lot of Medallion-level travellers using it. They would most likely be flying on mainline Delta.
