7 flights, 6 hotels, 1 cruise ship and a major stuff up...brace yourself UPDATE!

[Marlea98]

That's exactly how we're looking at it

DH still hasn't been to San Francisco so that will probably be on the next, .

We loved San Fran. I can strongly recommend Franchino Restaurant in Little Italy (347 Columbus Ave) for the best home-style Italian meals. They're only open for dinner, though.

3 nights to go, I'm not counting down, I don't want to go home at all.
DH is talking of coming back here, it is a really lovely place.
We're already talking the next trip

We also found a little takeaway place called Chipotle Mexican Grill, so cheap and so tasty!
It's like Subway but Mexican! If you see one don't hesitate to try it

Love the next trip is already being planned!

I have heard great things about Chipotle from a few people now. I know there is one right near our accom in NY so it's on my list. Even the kids meals looked great there!

We've been to Chipotle twice now, and I'm a fan even better DS who is a fussy eater is a fan and it is so cheap, wholesome and filling.
Tonight we're off to The Cheesecake Factory, not so wholesome but very filling

Oh Becpee, have just caught up on all this! Wow, you have a good case to argue with Delta as that Delta agent on the phone should have cancelled that MCO-LAX flight while you were on the phone with them and should NEVER have told you that no-showing the flight was okay. When res agents are on the phone to pax, they should technically make notes in the booking of everything they discussed with the pax so it would be very interesting to know what booking notes are in that booking of yours and whether Delta will be honest with you if, in fact, the res agent recorded the facts of the conversation correctly.

On the positive, so glad that you are enjoying Palm Springs. When we lived in L.A. when I was a child, my parents would sometimes take us there for long weekends which we all enjoyed.

My girls are not fussy but they are not very adventurous eaters so I'm glad to hear your son liked the food

We're on our way home
Sitting in LAX using the free wifi, just had The Last Supper at IHOP, and all we did was sit there saying " I don't want to go"

We'll get home and the planning and saving begins again.

A plan for a 48inch mark on the wall, and when DS reaches it we book another Disney trip

My tip of the day? Do not use hotel phones for long distance calls
We both called our workplaces last week, DH was on the phone for 4 minute, me for 10
$100 later and that's after they refunded $47 for calls made that didn't even connect. They refunded those when I asked for itemized calls, that's my only compliant about the hotel though

See you on the flip side, with pics I'm going back to work on Thursday, that'll be fun...not

[Caroline NZ]

Hope you have a safe trip home. And roll on the next holidays

 

[becpee]

Just heard the funniest thing yet, Delta can't fly to San Diego tonight because their crew timed out, so they're chartering a bus.
Delta is a circus...

 

[battymum]

Enjoy your flight, Becpee - look forward to your tr!

 

[WAMUMOF4]

I think he's about 44-45inches now, so a little bit to go yet.

Is it sad that I'm sitting in the departure lounge pricing hotels in Palm Springs for next September??
DH wants to do 10 nights...
I might try and coincide our trip with my sister so we could take off to Vegas for a few days

 

[Andona]

Hope the trip home goes smoothly! And there's nothing wrong at all with you thinking about the next trip!! I just call that being prepared

We got home a week ago and haven't paid of the credit card bill yet...but I'm already considering options for next year....

Have a good trip back Bec and enjoy the first night back in your own bed - that part of going home is always nice

Can't even imagine how it would feel to get to an airport expecting to board a plane and being put on a bus! *eek*

Safe trip home!
