We stayed in NSB 3 years in a row and love it. Small town, not too touristy, clean beach. But remember, cars drive on the beach there.

What was the best "deal" on a restaurant in the Orlando area that you've ever gotten? And by deal, I mean it was good food for the money spent, not necessarily the absolute cheapest. We are spending 2 nights in Orlando next week (no Disney this year) before heading to Indian Harbour Beach for a...

Does anyone have a picture of the soft-sided cooler they take into the parks?

We save all of our change, from the end of one vacation to a week before the next one. It is rolled and taken to the bank (saving the fee that coinstar will charge). Also, I do My Points and surveys on 5 different sites. I netted a little over $100 just on Pinecone Research. Some survey sites...

My son is going into 6th grade and still using his (red digital camo) LL Bean backpack we got in Kindergarten. My middle daughter stopped using hers in 6th grade because it was too narrow for her band folder, but it is still in great shape. Not a backpack, but many years ago my DH and I...

The kids all agreed that TS is just not that important. So, snacks/CS will be what we do for meals. As far as park hopping, they want to do at least 2 parks. After more discussion and research, we've decided to pack a cooler and take fruit, veggies, frozen water bottles, veggie wraps, chips...

Thanks to all. We had thought about doing AK first, then Epcot or DHS for mid-day then ending at MK. The main reason for this was because one of the teens has never been to WDW before and we wanted to show him as much as possible, but we aren't commandos. :) My middle child (youngest teen) was...

We are going to Ormond Beach in 2 weeks, and will travel 1 day to WDW. We will park hop as much as we can. My plan is to go when parks open, do as much as can outside in the morning, then spend time at indoor stuff through the hot part of the day, then go back out until closing. I need...

My best rate so far is $318 ($411 with taxes/fees) for 9 days, July 26-Aug 4. That is renting through our local airport with unlimited mileage. I'm wondering if I can do better with Priceline...

My husband and I have 2 checking accounts, one for all household expenses and the other for everything else (school stuff, eating out, etc). Both accts have a automatic $1 added to each purchase when we use our debit cards, both online and swiped at the store. These extra dollars go straight...

I haven't bought school pictures in years. Spent $200 in yearbooks for 3 kids this year. Haven't seen a movie since last summer. And we rarely go out to eat, even fast food, unless we have coupons/gift cards.

I have a pay now rate at Budget of $347.55 before taxes and fees ($449 after), for a 9 day rental of a minivan. Is this a good rate, and is it likely to go down? this is from my hometown airport location. July 26-Aug 4 are the dates Thanks

clothes $40 for a tee shirt. $100 for ripped jeans, $100 for shoes that my son will outgrow in 6 months, and you want how much for a bathing suit that won't cover my teenager's butt???? :eek:

I have a pay now rate at Budget of $352.55 before taxes and fees ($454 after), for a 9 day rental of a minivan. Is this a good rate, and is it likely to go down? this is from my hometown airport location. Thanks

I am about 5 miles to I-81, but 77 is north of us. We'll probably hop on 81 to 26, then hit I-95 near Savannah. Estimated to be about 10-11 hours. Anyone have any tips on where to stop?

There are 4 of us with phones in my house, all are prepaid. My husband and younger DD have Verizon prepaid, and the $20 unlimited texting option. They have unlimited minutes to Verizon customers for calling, but it costs 10c per minute to non-Verizon, and unlimited texting to anyone, no...

We are driving down from SW VA at the end of May. We'll take I-26 down to I-95. But I'm very concerned about driving 95, and delays and traffic, etc. So far, I've not seen anyone take a more "scenic" route. Does anyone not go I-95? And is there a website where I can get information on...

Does anyone not do I-95? I hate 95, and we usually like to take roads that aren't quite as busy. I know we might not be able to drive as fast, or make it there quicker, but I'd rather be comfortable in my drive than road-raged and mentally exhausted. ;) So, does anyone have an suggestions to...

My husband just totaled his 1988 Subaru Justy. Mileage unknown, since it didn't have an odometer that went 6 digits. He loved that car and hated like anything to give it up, but it was completely unrepairable. He didn't buy it new, and only did minor things to it plus maintenance. In 2004 he had...

We are driving down at the end of May. Any suggestions for where or where not to stop? Scenic routes? Interesting attractions? Does everyone go I-95? We will have 5 kids with us, ages 8 to 13. Driving from SW Virginia
