What does this Acronym stand for! Woops I got it running a little slow as I am also fighting a chest cold!

Yes & Opera & Disney Podcasts & Bruce & Bob Segar & 1000 plus other titles on my Itunes!

I knew you would get it eventually.
Sorry about the chest cold. Keep a watch on your cold, I've had one friend that's had pneumonia already and another who's DD was just diagnosed with h1n1 virus.

I will try!

Its funny how 'colds' suddenly come around to everyone, here and in the USA, but be the turn in season, everyone I know has a cold, mild but also inconvenient. Mild sore throat, runny nose, fatigue, and a dry cough.

I had it, on Sunday, went to my chest, got over it generally today.

Just stopping by to say when you are booking your airlines make sure to check on Iceland Air. We just booked Minneapolis to London and then Barcelona to Minneapolis (stoppover for a couple of days in Iceland on the say back) for less than $1000 per person. They don't fly out of many places we found (Minneapolis and Boston are the only 2 I know of) but they were WAY cheaper than anything else we found.


And all these college discussions but nothing for the midwest colleges?

My coughing and hacking is from allergies and I have them year 'round at home. When I go to FL they are much better, as they are when I go overseas.
Glad to hear you are feeling better.

I'm so jealous of you going to Iceland for a couple of days. That's the next place on my list to go and I keep looking into it. It will probably wait until DD is in college since she doesn't want to go.
Iceland Air flies out of Boston, JFK, Orlando, Minneapolis, and Seattle. I've seen some really good rates to Europe. Now that I'm thinking maybe I will into it for next summer, I don't like the idea of driving to JFK but it wouldn't be the first time.


Sorry we haven't included midwest colleges, but DD wants to go to school in FL.

So why is it better in Florida or abroad, ? I know London and the tube isn't good, travelling a lot in the capitial triggers my Asthma.

I have outdoor mold allergies and it's whatever is in our soil where we live that triggers it. There are a lot of people in this area that have them and when they go out of the area they are much better. Even with all the rain in FL this past summer I felt fine.

Not to worry! We are from Eagan, Minnesota and DS17 is doing college applications (or he should be, maybe I should check).

We just booked Delta nonstop to Heathrow. Iceland air involved a change of planes in Iceland and was $20 cheaper than Delta. Not worth the knocking around for that, but thanks for the tip. We just decided to book now as the fares seemed to be going up, not down.

What part Midwest? Any suggestions. Had a friend go to Arizona many years ago. She lasted 1 year. Said it was to darn hot.


Any and all recommendations taken.

Interesting.

Have a good weekend everyone.

QUESTION

Who else is doing a private tour with Anastasia Travel Company, in St Petes? We should get our planning shoes in now, I expect a release of shore trips coming soon. I think my DCL shore, booking date is 20th March 2010.

I am, and have a preliminary itinerary from her . . . she had said she would have more accurate costs some time this autumn . . .

And here,

I think I will go DCL on all other ports, but would like this one to be 'magicial'.

We are as well. I need to contact her again for more ideas now that DCL has altered the times from when I first contacted again.
I certainly hope the arrival times gets changed again and we get in earlier. That 12:30 arrival time is a killer on touring and you lose more than half a day there.

I dont think DCL can make there mind up, the lastest update I had when I paid off more in September was 11.30am 1st day arrival and 10.30pm, leave 2nd day.

Now it's 12:30pm arrival and 11:00pm departure. Don't they know we have planning to do?

When were you told of that, as I knew they changed to that a few months back, but now I understood they swapped back again. If yours are correct, that means they swapped for a 4th time.

I got the times off DCL's website: http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/c...s/12-night-northern-european-capitals-cruise/

Yes, seen that, but not for the first time the website might not be correct, I understand its 11.30am 1st day, leave 10.30pm 2nd day. Unless that have changed for 4th time.
