    OT: Can I cry? Dd didn't get accepted to college she had her heart set on..

    What a great solution the Spain program is! Also, as a former college admissions professional and someone still in higher education, doing that program (if she does well) will make her more attractive to selective colleges. :cool1:

    Thought I would be doing the happy dance, but. . .

    Thanks, all, for the good thoughts. :lovestruc and Pixie Dust. He is still in the hospital and will be for another couple of days. So, plan F, G or H (forget which we are on right now)! Our travel agent is talking to Disney to see what our options are. If he gets out of the hospital on...

    We're pulling our 1st grader, but she will only miss one day of class. Here are the skills she is going to work on during our trip: * Souvenir items: She's bringing money, and it's her sole responsibility to count and budget her souvenir money for the entire trip. * Park navigation: She...

    Is the insurance worth the 100 dollars?

    I really think it is worth it, because my Father-in-Law's appendix burst yesterday and he was supposed to go with us on our trip Thursday. :sick: He will not be going, and if my Mother-in-law goes or not depends on how he is doing by Wednesday. Since there were to be 9 of us going, 2 have...

    Thought I would be doing the happy dance, but. . .

    Okay, I'm in serious need of some Pixie Dust. We are supposed to leave on our Disney trip this Thursday. However, yesterday my Father-in-law went into the hospital with a burst appendix. :eek: The cast was supposed to be my Mother-in-Law, Father-in-law (who are paying for the trip), my...

    Coral Reef

    We're eating there for dinner next Thursday, 4/1. We're looking forward to trying it. At the very least, my Mother-in-law will be excited to choose between the chocolate wave and creme brulee! :)

    Don't be afraid of a predicted crowd level of 10

    I'm dreading being there during Easter week, but it is the only time a family member (teacher) could go. My family of three has been before (we have gone during October in the past) and we'll go again, and the other adults in our group haven't been in years so they don't really know the...

    Flip flop suggestions?

    I just purchased some Nike Comforts for our upcoming trip. They have a gel inside them that is really great, so they might be worth a look. They kind of remind me of memory foam pillows for your feet. :rotfl: I found them at our local sporting goods store. Good luck in your search!

    Taking your kids-why you love it!

    My DD(6) has traveled with us all over the place. People always say that she won't remember, but I'll remember when she saw Cinderella and believed with all of her heart that it was the one and only true Cinderella! I also believe that every family is different, and you have to do what...

    "What Not to Say"

    Thanks to all for this list. As a newbie, it doesn't scare me off, it makes me more comfortable! I've been a lurker for awhile, in part because I didn't want to get 'jumped on." However, I will say this is one of the most supportive online communities I've come across. Knowing what the...
