    BEWARE: First Love Bug Sighting!

    I just returned from WDW today and didn't have any issues with the love bugs until yesterday. I spent the afternoon at the Coronado quiet pool and was annoyed by lots of bugs landing on me. Yuck! I never noticed them at the parks. I thought our rental car was dirty...it was the love bugs...

    September 11, 2001 - Did Disney Close that Day?

    We were scheduled to go to Disney 9/21/01. As our trip approached, it seemed that airline travel and life was starting to return to its new normal. As we did last minute preparations for our flight from Logan to Orlando, the TV was reporting a raised terror level. Sand bags were being placed...

    Cape May Cafe

    Is a carved beef (like prime rib) always there, along with the ribs, chicken and yummy seafood? Does anyone have an idea on current pricing? Sorry for the questions, we are planning a dinner for 6 people with some different tastes. Thanks!

    Cape May Cafe

    The All-Ears menu is from 2009. I would love to get updated pricing, and an idea of what seafood, pasta and meats are available. We have a reservation for September, but don't know if we will keep it. Thanks in advance!

    Boston-Accommodations for families of patients

    Bedford is probably over 15 miles, but at least a 1/2 hour (no traffic) from the Longwood Medical Center area of Boston. Cambridge hotels can offer good deals, but still it would be a drive/cab ride/T ride to reach your destination. Good luck with your search!

    Annual Salary Increases - What % does your company give?

    I work in a public school district. No raise this year, 1.5% in 2011. Woo-hoo! DH took a 10% paycut and is travelling 50% of the time (which adds expenses that aren't fully reimbursed). We are grateful to have jobs, even if they aren't dream jobs.
