    Flying with child who can't sit up

    I don't know what type of device your child uses, but the FAA does allow the use of "Orthotic Positioning Devices" that meet certain requirements. Additionally, parents have successfully petitioned for exemptions from certain Federal Aviation Regulations to allow the use of Child Restraint...

    Carseat/Airtran vent

    Check out the verbiage in quotes that is found in 14 CFR 121.311(b)(2)(ii)(A) and (B). As it is quotes, the crew should be looking for it verbatim (even the red lettering). If your car seat says anything other than the verbatim phrases, (or the sticker has rubbed off), you run a strong...

    Dyson Vac- worth the $?

    Okay, so the vacuum thread inspired me to finally ditch our old DirtDevil that only cleaned the hardwood floors well (um, so does a broom!). I went out and got the Eureka Smart Boss rated the Consumer Reports best buy and I am shocked and amazed at how well it does. The carpets are clean...

    Holiday wine in Germany?

    Nuernberger Gluehwein. Spiced wine with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg. We buy it at at the PX (hubby is in the Army), but anything labeled "mulled wine" is close.

    Flying with wheelchair?

    Please do your research before reserving a bulkhead! The armrests in bulkhead seats do not lift, as the tray tables are stowed in them (no seat ahead of the bulkhead seat). Therefore, it is more difficult to transfer a wheelchair passenger in and out of them. They are also occasionally...

    SOG Diners - menu items

    We were at SOG from 10/20-25. We did the Garden Gallery buffet at least 2, maybe 3 nights and never had a baked potato bar. I believe it is only on certain nights, as each night is "themed." I believe we ate there on Saturday and Monday nights, maybe also Thursday. How can I already...

    **UPDATED 2005 INFO** Mickey's NOT So Scary Halloween Party Central 2005 ***

    We were also there on 10/23. We stayed until about 1130 and were glad we did. The HalloWishes show did go off at about 945, althought they did not do the perimeter fireworks. They also did a parade about 1030. The crowds really diminished (understandably). We finally left because all of our...

    Have you ever met Maid Marion, the female fox character?

    I saw her too as a kid. If the "73" is a reference to your DOB, we were probably there around the same time! :rotfl:

    Never flown before, questions?

    We also live in Indy, and that's an excellent price. (FWIW, I work in aviation too). We are also paying about $100 round trip (with AirTran) per person. FYI-our tickets one year ago were $250 each. I don't understand how fuel prices can double, but airline ticket prices decrease by half...
