    Southwest and their issues

    I was scheduled to fly out of VPS (Destin/Fort Walton) on Southwest this past Saturday at 10:20 AM. I received a text at 4:00 AM that morning that the flight was canceled. You cannot call the 800 number to re-book because you can't get through. Wait times were over 2 hours, I hung up at three...

    Dollywood and Gatlinburg! Who’s been?

    It's actually the "Gauley" River, which is separate from the "New" River. Water will be much colder in fall, but supposed to be very intense. A group of us did the lower New River last summer and it was great. Class III - Class IV rapids. The Gauley in September and October has class III - V...

    MCO Shuttle Car Rental

    Why not take an Uber or Lyft to the offsite car facility? Shouldn't be too expensive.

    Youngstown Ohio

    Suburbs of Youngstown are fine. You will find any type of housing and neighborhood you want within a half hour radius. Weather sucks, cost of living can't be beat. Directly between Cleveland and Pittsburgh, so an hour or so of travel in either direction will get you to all major sporting...

    Lost luggage

    Flight before our Disney cruise: flew in a day early, but to Tampa. Two out of nines bags did not show up on the direct flight. Spent a couple hours at the airport trying to straighten it out, and was assured they would find them. One bag had all of my young son's clothes, and the other had all...

    Oh seriously,, "Tim hand me the gun"

    Wish I could draw you a picture, but... There was the T-Rex enclosure with a small wall and fencing, then the road with the jeep tracking rails / people on it, and on the OTHER side of the road were the bathrooms and a small wall with the drop-off on the other side. So the jeeps were between...

    Myrtle Beach SC

    Have stayed in variety of condo's, from smaller 3-story units, high rise, and in between. VRBO dot com is a good source. Sea Watch and Ocean Creek are good family oriented locations. Anything along Shore Drive wood be good as well.

    Myrtle Beach SC

    I think Myrtle Beach is all in what you make it. There are a wide variety of people who vacation there, all looking for a different experience. If you want more of a "county fair" type atmosphere at night, then downtown Myrtle is right up your alley. I believe every other shop is selling...

    Nyquil/Dayquil formula now?

    I believe they changed their formula about ten years ago. I used to take a dose of Nyquil and I would be down for the count. Now, I can take Nyquil in the morning at work and it has no effect on me at all.

    The walking dead amc #2

    Being bitten means you will soon get the fever, die fairly soon, and become a walker (unless someone whacks you in the head).

    Have you ever been to Dick's Last Resort...

    We have taken our kids when they were younger, and the waiter toned down their "bit" because of the kids. Not really an appropriate place for a birthday party for kids that age though. That being said, we used to eat their every summer while on vacation but are so over that now. If you know...

    AAA relationship ending permanently Jan 2015

    I too am letting my AAA membership expire at the end of the year. I have had it for 28 years. I have it mainly for the towing and my current cost is approximately $80 a year. Technically, only I can use the towing, all other family members are required to have an associate card. I just got my...

    So tell me about the tastings, mixolgy etc

    Agreed, our first mixology class of about twenty was great, so much so that we then were able to book a second private class with our bartender and all of the new friends we met in that class. The second class was just as much fun and we booked a third. Jump ahead to this past Spring, we...

    Cedar Point - Fast Lane - worth the $$?

    We went on a Sunday a couple of weeks ago. Walked through the gates around 10:30 (park opened at 10:00), we went directly to Millennium Force and rode twice with 5 minute waits both times. Headed over to Top Thrill Dragster and had about a 15 minute wait, and less than 10 on Magnum. Longest...

    WWYD? Son wants to play football senior year. -UPD p5

    ehh, not quite. I have children, none currently playing football. We have always stressed academics over sports and my children have done both, and it has paid off quite well. I have seen the folks who think little Johnny is the next NFL star, and that rarely happens (approximately .1%)...

    WWYD? Son wants to play football senior year. -UPD p5

    Regardless of who will be the one teaching (varsity coach, JV coach, student assistant or other football player), someone will need to be explaining such basics as offensive hole numbers, defensive gap letters, proper tackling form, etc. These are things that are taught very early on during...

    WWYD? Son wants to play football senior year. -UPD p5

    Most high school football teams will keep any players as long as they are putting in the work. That doesn't mean he will get any playing time. That being said, let me put forth the unpopular (but truthful) opinion: Some of these kids have been playing that sport, whether football...
