Every time you fly, you earn miles...the same as the air mile points on your CC. You need to join the flying club to earn them.

We haven't flown TCD - don't they fly to Sandford?

we flew with them in 2005 and yes they fly to sanford but it not too far a drive to get to orlando,but i must admit it is quicker going into orlando.
we flew first class with them which is like PE on virgin.
they were okay but they changed the plane on the way back and there was no first class facilities. Since then i have heard lots of mixed reports, mainly bad though, they are always cancelling flights. They have also changed the planes now and dont use their own jumbos - using Excel airways now!

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

What is PE and TCD?

I was wondering the same thing.

Hi Joannel
Pe means premium economy on virgin airlines, its an upgrade, better than standard but not as post as first class.
TCD is an airline called Travel City Direct which flies to Orlando.
Wow you get up early on the ship for your morning walk, will have to be very strong willed to get myself out of bed at the time of the morning,

Thanks

Thanks, yes I have always been an early riser. One of my boys was a swimmer, so for years we were up at 4:30 and in the pool by 5am!!! even on week ends if I can sleep til 6:30 that's late for me. I do have a hard time staying awake for those late night parties and the chocolate buffet. But this bunch looks like fun so I doubt it will be a problem

Thanks Andy!! I told Woody I'm getting too old to be out all night and be able to get up and function the next day! I'll ne 30 in 17 days!

Oh, your poor baby, turning a whole 30...............

What's the chocolate buffet, is that on the magic?

Heather- where are you cruising?

Joanne - we are cruising to Cork on the Inaugural cruise on the Independence of the Seas.

 

[GOS]

using Excel airways now!

Haven't used these either.

Funny thing about that, my mom had my youngest brother when she was 36, a year later, my mom became a grandmother as my older sister had her first daughter.

Of course, I also had friskie grandparents as my dad's sister is a year younger than me. My dad was 24 when his youngest sister was born, I think my grandmother was 46 when she had my aunt...........

So I still have a couple of good years left

Here's something else I just read in my allears newsletter from this week for those that have a Wii:

comments: For those of you with the Wii game system, you can insert an SD card into the game and play games on the Photo Channel. You can view your photos as a slide show, draw on your photos, or send your photos to your Wii Friends. My son has fun with the photos he took at Disney by turning them into tile puzzles. The first time he did, I was unaware that the Wii had that capability, so to see his photos on the TV when he was playing the Wii was a little surprising to say the least!

I didn't know you could do this

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

The next Season of Disney show, Disney on a Dime is on the Travel Chanel tonight 8pm central and then again at midnight I've got the DVR set

 

[JOANNEL]

What's the chocolate buffet, is that on the magic?

Yes, I think it's called the desset buffet, but there is a lot of chocolate!!!! Yes it is on the 7 day only.

 

[JOANNEL]

Joanne - we are cruising to Cork on the Inaugural cruise on the Independence of the Seas.

How exciting, have a great time. i want to get to Ireland some day!!

I'd read somewhere on the Dibb that they were changing their fleet to new planes by next year? Maybe that will bring a halt to their bad reputation for delays due top the age of their current fleet. I've never used them either - nearly always use Virgin.
