20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 4

[webray]

Yup! Etta lives in Salem--Kenosha county--we made it here a couple hours ago. Fly into MKE whenever we come to visit. Midwest absolutely can't be beat. They had an AWESOME mushroom fritata for breakfast $7....with a spinach sauce, yogurt bowl, and a fruit bowl. They brought back "signature service" from Denver, so we got comfy 1st class seats.

Going to dinner at our fav german restaurant in Kenosha tonight, then relaxing and getting her last minute things packed. Leave at 330 tomorrow for FL....

I packed a suitcase in a suitcase, so I have an extra---wanna ride?

(Dialup stinks!!!) See you all soon---oh, and Margaret? If ya gotta ask, you can't afford it.....I have a standing appt.....love ya!

We fly Midwest whenever we can going home to WI. Midwest is wonderful!

Kay,

What is 'airborne' and where do I get some??? After work tomorrow I'm going to do my last minute shopping at Walmart or something like that... would they have it? (sniffle, sneeze, cough, whine...)

Okay... another redundant question that I know has been discussed but who knows what was going on that I didn't pay attention properly!

What was the consensus about a pickup time in LA? For those of you getting van or limo service to DL... what time did you tell them to pick you up? We don't want to miss any of the festivities at the port.. but also don't want to stand around once things are over. We were thinking about a 10:30AM pickup... does that sound too late?? Any input will be appreciated. Yes, we have procrastinated on this big time and have not arranged anything yet.

Our car service recommended 10:30 pick up, told me that was the usual time for port pick ups and said if it was going to be earlier just give them a call.

Help!

Do any of you medical experts out there have a good way to kill a cold fast??? My trainer breathed on me!! EEEWWWWWWW!!!!! Now I feel awful...

Renae

You are not allowed to get sick NOW - BAD MOVE

You should take "AIRBORNE" right away. Wish I was coming up tomorrow, I would bring to you.

Is anyone there that can take some "AIRBORNE" to her???????????????


She is in desperate need of some right away

Grab some at Walmart..the shelves here are full of it.

Kay,

Don't worry, DS won't get anything from me. I'm staying away from everybody and avoiding touching anything I can't clean... Same goes for you guys! No bugs will get past me!

We booked a rental car with Enterprise. They have a location at/near the port with free shuttle service and you can return the car to LAX for an extra $25. The port location is closed Sunday & Monday. We paid $41 (plus $25 for airport drop-off) for two-day rental of a standard car. Make sure you tell them you are the Disney cruise to get the special rate. The phone number to the San Pedro location is 310-548-8060 - they are very nice to deal with.

Enterprise rental is so great.

Leslie and Kay,

AIRBORNE is a pop-pop-fizz-fizz that was created by a school teacher when her kids kept getting her sick.

It is an efferscent. There are 10 tablets per tube.

Here is a site you can go to

Enterprise rental is so great.

I like Enterprise also.

But we rented from Hertz. In Ft. Lauderdale to the Port and they are not charging a drop off fee in Cape Canaveral.

Then in San Pedro and dropping off in LAX, without a drop off fee. The rental with the other car rentals companys were the same as Hertz w/o the drop off fee.


Plus we will get 500 FF miles for each rental.

Using all my FF miles to travel first class to Hawaii on Sept. 27th. Can't beat flying first class on a long trip like that.

Yes i did call the LG2 location and they said they had discountinued this service last Oct.

Make sure you were calling the "LG2" location. That location does indeed have a courtesy shuttle. However, keep in mind that the car rental office is not conveniently located... it is about a 15 minute drive from the port.

They have a shuttle... they may not refund the taxi service if the shuttle is running. When we got into San Pedro a couple of years ago, we were off about 30 minutes before the FIRST shuttle would even run and they were kind enough to reimburse the cab farr (after first calling them). I wouldn't bank on it though.

Honestly, with the mass of humanity coming off the boat and the number of people that are going to be getting cars... it may be easier to pick a different alternative and let someone else do the driving (Supershuttle/Execucar for instance). At least that way you know that they will ensure capacity. Budget may have a car for you.. but you could find it a challenge if they only have one or at the best.. two vans running that morning. That is what pushed us to book Execucar this time.

For those of you who were thinking of Supershuttle/Execucar.. there is a discount code out on the Americawest.com web site that will get you either $3 off the shuttle or $5 off the private car. Heck... that's at least one more drink of the day!

Hope everyone has a safe trip to the port. We are looking forward to meeting everyone and to a great cruise. See ya real soon!! Alex
