Not sure which fees you are trying to avoid. I assume it's the unaccompanied minor fee. First, the rule is that for children 11 and under, there must be someone 18 or over traveling in the same cabin (flight and class of service). No requirement to be on the same reservation. So in your...

A few other questions: If only one member of our party has an AP, can that be applied to all of our restaurant purchases, or just the AP holder? Anybody know the actual gate price for multi-day park passes (trying to figure out if 15% off is less or more than $20 off from online)? How does the...

We replaced our windows with Marvin windows and have been happy. The aluminum exterior and wood interiors have been nice in our high altitude climate (Colorado). The Windows America vinyl alternative was one we seriously considered before going with the Marvin choice due to the significant...

Many ISPs provide free AV protection. Where I live, both Qwest & Comcast provide free AV software with their subscriptions. Others, like AVG, are free for home use. I don't have any useful data about which are the best, but free is a good price.

Several points to consider: "Mileage" Cards not tied to a particular airlines are really points cards, like the Disney Chase card. You can accrue points, and then redeem for various awards, but they are basically airline tickets good up to a certain $$ level (e.g, 25,000 points for a...

Do know that Maytag was bought out by Whirlpool several years ago and is no longer independent. I do not know whether the equipment sold under the Maytag name is, in fact, significantly different than that sold under the Whirlpool name (or any of the other brands Whirlpool sells).

I'd recommend a set of earplugs and an eyemask if you want to get any sleep in the back of the plane. A small travel pillow or blanket might be useful as well, but take up a lot more room. For overnight flights, decide if you want/need something to help you sleep (ambien, alcohol, benadryl...

I recommend shopping at newegg <dot> com. Go to Computer Hardware -> Hard Drives, then select External HDs. For a windows box, you can use USB interface. You should be able to get 1 TB for less than $100 shipped; and smaller HDs should be somewhat less.

We have a Roku and like it a lot. We only have a standard-def television, but the picture quality is quite good and we have been using it to introduce our tween to some classic movies, like Back to the Future and some Star Trek. My wife streams several TV shows we didn't watch when they first...

Nalgene sells several different size 8 oz (or so) bottles which come in nice rectangular sizes which are very handy for lunch boxes, etc. They also have nice wide lids and mouths, which make it much easier to get clean in the dishwasher. They used to have free shipping on their web site, but...

Lots of good advice above. Not knowing your financial situation, consider getting a used vehicle. For example, an '05 or '06 Odyssey will sell for 50 to 60% of the cost of a new one, a significant savings on something costing $30,000+. Yes, there's probably little or no warranty, and you'll...

My family and I went on one of the 2007 Med Cruises and I would be happy to answer any questions as folks plan for 2010. I did not post a formal trip report, unfortunately. We did truly enjoy it and I highly recommend it as an outstanding trip. My family and I are also going to the...

We stayed at the Marriott Renaissance Airport for our pre-cruise stay in 2007. I would recommend staying anyplace else--our stay we not very good at all. It took over 30 minutes to check in (not fun after an overseas flight), the fire alarm went off numerous times during the night, and...

Wow. My family and I did a Med. cruise last year (2007) in a Cat 6 cabin and had a great time. We are presently booked to do a 12 night cruise in 2009 on RCCL's Jewel of the Seas which has a very similar itinerary to the 2010 Disney Magic Northern Europe cruises. The two cruises are a year...

We were on the 061607 Med Cruise--2 Adults and an 8 year old. I believe our price (no airfare, or insurance) was $10,900. It was a great trip, but certainly no bargain!

There is no simple answer to this question and it is dependent on some personal factors. Some of the factors are: What is your marginal income tax rate today (federal & state combined)? What do you think your marginal tax rate will be in retirement? If you put money in the Roth IRA...

I would recommend newegg.com as a good place to consider. I am an owner of a software development company and we have bought 30-40 monitors from newegg over the past few years. Read the reviews and compare prices with other sites, but in general newegg is very good.

Without knowing the interest rate(s) nor the amount owed on the cards, it is hard to give advice. However, one middle ground is to split the $500/month in half--apply $250/month toward the credit card and half toward savings until there's a small cushion ($1000 is probably enough). After that...

I am a co-owner of a software development company. There are days where it is fun to be the entreprenuer and things are going well. And there are days when I have to be "the boss" and make unpopular decisions. Being a retired, traveling, part-time student.
