They have there own "wing" at MCO it looks like. Terminal B, Airside 4, in the 90's gate area. Maybe next to each other, but for sure in the same area of the airport. Based on when we're getting our rental car after the cruise, we will be in the terminal early so that we don't go over the 24 hour period on the car.

Yeah, I reserved my car I think from 8:00am to 10:30am

Samantha was not happy yesterday afternoon. She had her annual physical and had to get a Chicken Pox booster and get her finger pricked. She was not happy about that! All we heard all night was, "my arm hurts, my arm itches."

My DS is done until age 12, and he reminds us of that everytime we go to the doctor for his annual check up.

She probably is now as well.

As soon as I got her at school she said, "Dad I don't need any shots do I?"

What was the upcharge for that extra 2 1/2 hours?

I was thinking, since we have nowhere to go after the cruise, of maybe going for late breakfast, taking our time off the ship and then get the car around 9:00/9:30. Then return it at the same time on Sundya.

I know when I priced it, it was about $20-$30 more for the "over 24 hours".

That sounds like it could be about right. I got a full size from Avis and the price with taxes is $90 for the 26 or so hours. We could always take our time getting off the ship I guess.

I don't care too much, but didn't want an early flight. The price, flight times, and convenience of no parking fees, or no lodging fees, made driving to Maine worth it.

It's always worth driving to Maine!!!!

We're off in an hour for Kira's allergy tests Not looking forward to that, she's not going to be happy with me!

Good luck Kira

No posts from Karen this morning She must be having fun with Ellis

Been busy this morning doing spellings and maths with Ellis, then took him to Moms for the afternoon and then went shopping!

I got myself a new mobile phone... a purdy little pink one! Real girlie and cute! Ellis has been nagging me for months for a mobile phone...

What I have done is buy an easter egg, carefully open the bottom of the box and slide the egg out, unwrap the egg without tearing the foil paper, then pop my old (still new actually, but I dont like it *** its black and I can never find it in the bottom of my handbag)) mobile phone inside the 2 halves of chocolate egg and re wrap it all back up. I'm going to give him easter egg tonight - cant wait to see his reaction

I was just wondering how many were playing on this trip. So that I could make up a budget

That's not an exact number, just a guess. Cass' site should have the running list.

I'm thinking that I'll just be chucking clothing overboard will be cheaper than paying that 2nd bag fee!

Ain't that the truth. Maybe I'll shop the clearance racks at the end of summer to get my stuff. Stop at the local Goodwill store and drop it off afterwards.

Avis is about $50 for 24 hours, $74 for 24 1/2 (maybe 25) and $90 over that.

Budget wasn't any cheaper, but gave a little longer "grace period" on the 24 hours (maybe 30 or 45 minutes).

I still haven't booked my final one yet. I know I have a ton of ressie out there, I just need to sort through them. Won't be doing that until I have all the taxes done. I'm off next week with DS, so maybe I'll find time then.

Karen, you're liking the chiropracter?
I have a herniated disc, but also some arthritis, don't know if chiro helps with the arthritis.

I've heard about a new procedure: spinal decompression.... some kind of manipulation that is supposed to put everything back in place.
Anyone know anything about this?

I wouldnt say "liking" exactly, but its sure doing the trick

I had never been to one and wasnt sure what to expect, it shocked me just how much he pushed and pulled etc and the noise of the air between my bones cracking was real scary, but I feel 100 times better now than I did before I went so its a thumbs up from me

I had a full examination the first time, incuding a heat thingy (technical term) which measured how much heat my back muscles were giving off - this indicated how hard they were working and therefore where he needed to concentrate etc. He did a full report and talked me through it, then started my treatment. It is a teeny bit painful, and he does use his full body weight on me at times to manipulate different joints.
The last time he used a sort of punch hammer all down my back- this hurt more in parts than others, but it seems to shock the muscles into relaxing - I felt great about half hour afterwards and still feel "loose" today.

Its not cheap, but its worth every penny so far.

Afternoon Karen. How are the first few days of spring break going?

 

[JLDSMD]

Another FO?

 

[Karen Mouse]

Well, the sunshine is over

We're forecast cloudy windy weather with showers

Typical school holiday weather

Afternoon Karen. How are the first few days of spring break going?

Good so far. I have a huge list of stuff to do to keep him occupied. He's at Moms this afternoon, fetching him back at 6pm.

Is L free to play Wii this evening (our time) or are you busy?

He's at his friends tomorrow for a few hours at lunchtime, and we're having another friend over on Thursday. After that I'm not sure what we're doing. Depends on the weather.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Jeff - ignore me - I thought L was off this week, but I realised its next week.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Neils just got up (he's on night shift tonight) and told me to type a "hello" to you

 

[Karen Mouse]

Later peeps

Oh no we rapped $100 bills coz we thought they were lighter than the $50 ones......Maybe we'll just swap them for a Candy bar instead....(Y'all like my new all American accent Ladies?.....

I like EVERYTHING about you.

At least now the kids can roll their own suitcases in and out of the airport! It used to be I had to be creative in manuvering them from the car to check in, and then back to the car!

Why not have Elaine haul them all Christian. Dawg does that to Robin all the time.

And pull tabs from Boddington cans don't count AFEG.

I'll have to see how much Suz is planning on spending on the tag gifts this time.

Wouldn't it be fun if I just made up 20 (or however many people are playing) blank envelops and stuff different bills in there? Most would have $1, a few would have $5, a couple with $20 and one with $50. Then, I wouldn't know what I was giving and we'd have to see who the lucky people were that got them.

People who got my gift early in the week and only got the $1 would be searching out who I was giving to next and go steal their envelope and replace it with the one they got.

Just remember who you have a connecting cabin with. You don't want things to go bump in the middle of the night now do you?

Just figured it out. Of course you did!! If there are 25 people playing, it would cost me $115 to do a "bill" gift.

1 x $50
1 x $20
1 x $10
2 x $5
5 x $2
15 x $1

Maybe I should put the other kind of bills in there, like one of my drink bills and the person who gets that has to buy me one. You all wouldn't know I put that in all 25 envelopes, would you?

Again, don't forget where my cabin is in comparison to yours.

Dan might be carying a large handbag too!!!!

Pictures plz!

I draw the line on certain things...

Usually it starts rather balanced, but then she gets frustrated and slow, so I just grab it all.
