Just popping in to say I just watched the Disney Wonder ship sail out of port. Used the Two Palms site, Jetty Park cam. Sure was a nice reminder of good things to come.

Update on my ticket situation. Come to find out that I get one courtesy change to FF tickets with the airline I'm looking at using for my backup. We can change up to 1 hour before the flight.

My only downside is, as it stands now, we'd have to change to a flight before April 15th (their calendar doesn't go any further than that). We weren't planning on using these FF tickets until June of next year.

I can always move them for $75 each, but maybe we'll just have to look into a WDW trip in spring instead (or a Wonder cruise).

So I think we may have our backup set. Based on what we're doing, I almost want to scrap the current plans and go with the backup. However, if Midwest is flying, I'd rather get my free flight out of them now since they'll be gone soon and wait on the other airline.

I pulled the trigger and secured the back up flight. We are now flying AirTran into Las Vegas the night before our original departure to Los Angeles.

It is only $75 for the rental car from LV to the Alamo office near DL. We can get a room in LV off the strip for $40. The cost of the FF tickets is only $25.50 ($2.50 each for 9/11 fees and $6.00 each for seat selection - not rolling the dice with 3 different confrimations ).

We'll still get into the hotel near DL the same afternoon as the original flight would have gotten us there. We may take our time before we leave LV since Suz' really good friend lives out there (might do breakfast or lunch with them before heading out on the 3 1/2 hour drive).

That is a relief for us now. Doesn't matter what happens in two weeks with the airline, we're set.

O.K., time to cut the grass. Talk to y'all tonight.

Hello? Is anyone out there?

We've had a busy weekend....found out from a neighbor that the power was out for 2 hours....which meant the sump pump did not have any power for 2 hours during the thunderstorms....yup, water once again in our basement ...

I am getting ready to move to Arizona where they don't have any rain...

Other than that, the weekend's been fun. Lots of seeing friends and hanging out and such. This week, I have to get packed for our jaunt up to Door County!

Nancy - thanks! Your letter arrived today and the pics are up on my fridge

 

[oybolshoi]

Hi Jen! I've been lurking and blogging and just generally goofing off.

Sorry to hear about your basement woes. I live in mortal fear of the power going out during any heavy storm for exactly the reason you just gave. Stupid water that doesn't know enough to stay outside and water the grass and the plants and the street.

 

[Verandah Man]

That's it for me folks, I'm heading off to bed. I have another very busy week come up at work, it's time to start the Business Books tomorrow..........

 

[Verandah Man]

A bedtime FO........

 

[Verandah Man]

Good Monday Morning All........

 

[Verandah Man]

WOW!!! No one posted from the time I signed off last night, and until the time I signed on this morning, where did everyone go???

 

[goofyfreak]

Morning. I'm heading off to work. Have a great day everyone.

We dropped Alex off at church camp yesterday with Tanya's DD. They were excited to see each other and be at camp they barely could even tell us goodbye. And the funny thing is we usually have to talk them into going each year. And then they absolutely love it.

 

[goofyfreak]

Now I just need 2 more camps for the week...........maybe a Mother Goose potty camp for a little guy I know that has suddenly stopped sleeping in his bed and finds ours just sooooo comfy! And a camp for a little girl that on the second day of Pre-K day camp found a boyfriend! I'm thinking she would like a cinnamon camp but she will always go to camp VERY close to home! Don't know if we can trust this little one. Warning to all mothers with little boys...........watch your boys carefully on the cruise or they will be given lots of hugs from a certain little prissy girl from Va.

Hi Lori........

Heading off for my morning workout, see y'all later.....

Hmmmm, MG Potty Camp eh? Well, if I recall my "little boy" was potty trained in the car on the way down to Florida one year. We had his car seat on one side and a potty chair on the other. If it means another trip to Florida, then count this Mother Goose in!!

Have a great day everyone. I've got nothing to read, so I guess I'll get an early start to my bike ride then.

 

[disgrits]

just a drive by post, y'all........

We're here and having a great time, even though it is raining like crazy! We even had a little magic thrown our way. Our first day, we headed to HS on a whim since I hadn't planned on being in the parks on our first day (thought we'd arrive too late). So we go to guest relations to claim our annual passes. Well guess who's name it's under and who forgot her ID at the hotel.....and the hotel is SoG which means limited bus service...Yep, I did a bone-head thing and forgot my ID. So we started to walk away defeated, when the CM starts hollering at me through her window---"Sharon! Sharon!" (my first name, and it's the name on all of my ID's) so we go back and she says that she can sell us 1 day tix and then on the next day when I have my ID, we claim our annual passes and they credit the 1 day tix (which totalled $366 for my family ) We were so happy and I was off the hook for ruining the first day of the trip...lol. The magic was the next morning when we got to Epcot to claimthe APs and get a credit for the 1 day tix. It took a whilefor the CM to get it all done because the CS from HS had made a mistake when writing dowm the claim number on my claim ticket. So he was finally able to do it and apologized for taking so long. I said I was just happy that he could crdit our cc. So to give us a little pixie dust, he gave us a fast pass to any ride in the park! We were thrilled!

Ok sorry if I have a bunch of typos, but I've gotta go---Rob's waking up everyone and we're off again!

Glad to hear you're all having fun, Paige! And woo hoo for a freebie fast pass!
