Glad you're having a good time!

Have you been to Bert's or the Sanitary Seafood restaurant yet?

No Brack, I was just telling Amy that on the way back that I had to get a photo of Bert's. Boy this place is changing though . . . they demolished another restaurant (Squatters) and are putting up condos - starting in the $600,000's

 

[Jhalkias]

Hey PJ, just to let you know, I tried calling DVC today, and they cannot book us for Grand Californian yet, as it is not released, even though you can make reservations 11 months out . . . I HATE that. What should we do? Should we wait for DVC to open up, or is that too risky with the Holiday weekend?

 

[Jhalkias]

Brack,

Did you buy an iPhone?

 

[pjpoohbear]

John with the cash prices for the GC I think we are ok. Most cash ressies at GC seem to wait for a discount, so I've read on the DL board. I read that ressies for the Disney Collection will be open in August or so for DVC booking.

 

[pjpoohbear]

In December, worst comes to worst I will bring an air mattress and me and Sophia can rock, paper scissors for it each night, lol.

Well, I am going to wait then . . .

PJ, does Frontier fly to where you need to go?

We have been discussing with Vanessa trying to get the same flight on Frontier . . .

How about Alex hanging out with these Canadians?

That is a shame but they are building those things everywhere and what suffers are the really historic things at these places.

Enjoy it while you can.

John, i looked at Frontier when V brought them up. They don't but Airtran their sister airline does.

I haven't found a flight that leave after 3 pm on any airline but Jetblue (although United has an 11pm flight, but I would bet that flight gets cancelled or changed several times before flight time.) So, I will have a long wait in front of me, I would guess November/December before i can book flights.

One sec, V is flying to Sarasota and you need to go to Ohio, I am easily lost or missing something?

John, it nice to know that the Cuncks are treating Alex well, even across the pond. Hopefully he is having a great experience.

Brack,

Did you buy an iPhone?

Not yet because there is a very good rumor that once all of the "Super Geeks" buy them at the regular price that Apple is going to cut the price. Also, our rep for our work service says to wait a bit.

Having said that I do plan on getting one.

 

[Bella2000]

Bummer. The pics didn't work.

But....

What a Hey there Patsy~!

Early adopter always gets you with them but you'll still love what you have - you'll just be envious for what the newest is....the Macbook rumor for Oct looks cool also.

PJ . . . we would be on the same flight leaving SNA to Denver, then we would part ways . . . at least a little more time with some friends.

Hi Carla! We are at the beach, and I am finally able to use someone's WiFi who has it on here . . . I feel bad, but I could not even get dial up here!

 

[Bella2000]

No, at worst, you will sleep on our couch, and Sophia can sleep with us.

If you know who doesn't get his act together re his tickets we'll have PLENTY of room (LOL)

 

[Bella2000]

I need to go take a shower and go to bed. I am now adjusted to mountain time so of course I am not tired. The only thing I know for sure since being home the past couple of hours is that my nose is running and I have a tickle in the back of my throat - ahhhh the joys of home and allergies.

Hey John! I was sitting on the floor at DFW using the ibook on its last legs - I was able to connect through boingo and ZIPPO cellphone reception. Odd. I was supposed to get home at 6:15 but thunderstorms in Texas. New Mexico weather was beautiful.

 

[Bella2000]

Good night!

Night - popped a zyrtec.

PJ, it will be eaiser for us to stick the mattress in the car than for you to deal with it on the plane. Just let us know...SERIOUSLY!

I don't think you will miss Jungle Land mini golf brack.

 

[klineyqueen]

Hey guys . . .

Amy and I are at Ben and Jerry's using their free Wi-Fi. Weather has been really nice - sunny and not too hot. Met up with Lisa yesterday, and she is coming down again tomorrow with the kids.

Hope all is well with everyone.

The Geek at the Beach . . .

I am glad you are having a nice week. I have been thinking about you guys and Alex. Enjoy that sun!
