Not just the American airlines....our ones are cutting back on baggage allowance. I'm sure we'll notice cutbacks in October. Where currently planning our transatlantic cruise next September and British Airways only gives us one x 23kg suitcase per person free to Barcelona. We will have to pay for any additional cases. No way will I be able to get everything we need in two cases.

With all of the room on a 747 that's insane!

The longest I have ever been on a flight is 3 hours. Its just funny how cheap the American airlines are getting. American meaning all of them and not specifically American Airlines.

I remember 15 years ago flying to Puerto Rico and on the 3 hour leg from Atlanta to San Juan, we had a nice chicken lunch. I was always hearing about how bad airline food was and i kind of liked mine.

Try flying from Loring, Maine to Guam with a 5 & 3 year old. Was not fun and we went in January from -40 degrees to 100!!!!

I love the food too.

Back when the kids were little you could special order kids meals on planes. Other passengers would be jealous since they were always better than the basic meal.

Thats a trip and probably was on a military transport, unless it was a charter. My kids have always been great on planes, but have never been on a trip longer than 3 hours on a single flight.

Well said Heather, I am just so excited to be cruising with a few old friends and so many new disney loving friends!!

That is sweet Joanne. I am glad to be totally clueless-I have enough drama and politics at work.

Nighty Night Heather! Sweet dreams!!!

Please skip past this post. It's a bit of a rant.

Can I just say that all this bickering is getting a bit outta hand. We are supposed to be adults and I thought 'friends'. This trip was supposed to be a gathering of friends both old and new for just 7 days. I'm as guilty as the next person for saying one or two wrong things and I have apologised.

I am so sad that people have withdrawn from activities that have been organised to make the trip more memorable, because of what is being said behind the scenes and for which most of us are not privy too, thank goodness!

I have loved talking to everyone on here over the last two years and I am going to be so excited come the 24th. I will not be taking 'sides' and if, because of this people do not want to talk to me, then so be it. Two years is a long time, and we were bound to run into a few niggles along the way, but come on people...this is supposed to be a vacation. Everyone has made so many sacrifices for this trip....please, please, please, can't we be friends for just 7 days?

I'm glad to here that Jeff, Suz and DS are still cruising with us. I will be there on the 24th with a hug for everyone that wants one. It wouldn't be KK2 without them.

I'm sorry if this upsets anyone and understand if anyone is upset at some of my words. But this has been upsetting me for a couple of days now, and I just had to get it off my chest.

Sorry.

I feel ya! I did not spend all those HOURS designing the website, updating the Who's Going Page and making the BOBigator during the past TWO years so people can avoid one another and act like children! This is supposed to be fun!

I hope everyone can leave all the crap behind them and just enjoy the trip and running into "friends" during this cruise!

I originally didn't want to play tag because I was afraid that people were expecting me to out-do my scrapbooks from last time and with watching two toddlers, I just didn't have as much time to devote to my tag gifts. But then I realized that Kira would absolutely LOVE Distag this time around so I swallowed my pride, did the best I could with the tag gifts and signed up for her

Sounds kinda like a military takeover!

Well with all the strategic planning and preparation I've been doing for the past 2 years, it should be

we expect daily updates on your trippie till we leave.

Yeah, don't hold your breath my dear

They were good considering, only the last leg from hawaii to Guam was a military hop. They slept most of the time since it was night. We stayed a few days in California on the way there. Three years later on the way back we stayed a week in hawaii!! that was nice, but after living on an island for three years the kids wanted nothing to do with a beach!!

Joanne,

Did you ever fly on "Flying Tigers" airline?? It was a commercial airline exclusively used for military transfers.

I'm making a mental note to buy a box of Russell Stover, and will be putting a single piece of chocolate in everyones FE for our gifts. No shipping costs!!!!
