Congrats Julie! I think it is wonderful that you are adopting. Hopefully, we will get to meet you and your new DD on the cruise.

 

[dzneprincess]

Yep, this is pretty much how it works. I can tell you, if he is trying to say that he had green and you ran a red, his insurance will almost certain deny the claim. I


Again, I stress that every state is different, but I am going to bet that your friend is correct. Since the officer would not rule on fault, your insurance company is going to proceed as if you are telling the truth and his insurance company will proceed as if he is telling the truth. This means that they each will deny the other's claim. This will force you both to turn it in under your own insurance costing you the deductable. They will then litigate the matter between themselves and most likely each will end up reimbursing the other. This is only going to occur because you are dealing with a property damage only claim. If either of you were alleging personal injury. The insurance companies would treat this matter the same. It would result in lawsuits being filed by each of you and a jury would decide fault and award damages. But in a property damage only claim, it is cheaper for each of your insurance companies to go ahead and pay for the other's vehicle than it is to fight over it. Court costs and attorney fees to litigate will be more than they will pay out to fix the vehicle. It's not fair, but it cutting your losses and going on. It's done every day in the insurance industry.

Thanks Gail. That is exactly what is happening :-(

All of our paperwork went to China yesterday, so baring any catastrophes or world wars, we'll have our daughter with us in time for the cruise.

Julie

Yeah Julie! When do you exoect her, if everything goes as planned?

 

[skoi]

Thanks for the well wishes. Now we need some pixie dust-- a lot-- to sprinkle over China.

As for the wait-- once China logs in the paper work (a few weeks from now, probably) it can be anywhere from 3 to 9 months until we go over to get her. It will be our first major non-Disney related trip since 2000. Dd suggested we should go to Hong Kong Disneyland Too bad we won't be anywhere near it.

But maybe...

Hello everyone! We've had a busy weekend so far. DD did not have school yesterday, so we went out of town shopping. I didn't make a hotel reservation, and thank to the Kentucky Wildcats' Midnight Madness, there wasn't a room within a miles drive of Lexington, Kentucky. So, I ended up having to drive all the way back last nigth, and we didn't get home until midnight. We were up early this morning for my DD's basketball game. Her team lost and it wasn't pretty. We were the host team today, so I had to stay and work the consession stand for three full games after my DD's. I've cleaned house and done laundry since we made it back home.

Please someone tell me that they are having a good weekend. The only thing getting through mine is knowing that we are getting closer and closer to September, 16, 2006!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dzneprincess]

47 weeks until we sail!

Gail-

We were just in Kentucky the last week in Sept. for my brother-in-law's wedding in Cynthiana. We stayed in Georgetown, near the Toyota plant. The kids loved it and were ready to move there immediately. It was very pretty, and everyone was so friendly. We hope to go back and visit in Frankfort sometime after our cruise-- which as dzneprincess has pointed it is only 47 weeks away.

Julie

Bon Voyage!

This our official bon voyage to this thread. We could not take another western cruise so we booked for January 2007 this a.m. We were scheduled to do eastern last month, but hurricane Phillip had other plans for us! Which was fine, there are just so many other places to see!

Hope you all have a fabulous time!

Have a ball! Getting to know eachother and on the cruise.

Missy

 

[merry22]

Bye Missy - have fun in 07!!!

 

[ericamanda01]

The first cruise we took CC was our first stop because it was a holiday weekend and it changed some stuff around. I have to admit that I loved it on the last day. I thought it was the perfect way to end the cruise. I'm sure that I will get a little spoiled on this one.

 

[akasleepingbeauty]

We're off to California today so I'll be away from the boards pretty much for 10 days or so. We are so very excited!! Anybody need anything special from Disneyland, Legoland, San Diego Zoo, Sea World? Let me know and I'll do my best!

Amanda - yes I did receive your picture. Unfortunately, I have kept dh pretty busy getting ready for this trip and he hasn't finished getting the "album" together. Promise it'll be up soon after we return

Welcome to our new cruisers friends and farewell to Missy!

Talk to you all later this month!

 

[mommyz]
