TY for the link, I went online and got a "guesstimation" using Aug 08 and it was 881 for four R/T.

Like I said before we would much rather fly down but the Auto Train is a good back up for us.

Harry-

I have to give myself a big fat DOH (is there a smilie smacking itself on the forehead?) about shoes and the running segments on the Wii Fit! I just got done with it and the running is so much easier with shoes on. Who'd have thunk it? Yeah, I AM blonde!

 

[kritter]

OMG Kristin, 10 minutes?! I did the advanced step for the first time and I'm better at that than the beginner step. What's your favorite thing to do? I like the running and slalom, but there are alot of games I haven't done yet.

I know I felt like I was going to die......I do the advanced stepping and the 30 minute free stepping.... I do like the running I loved doing it actually but it was hurting my chest way too much. The impact of it....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jajomo0118]

Hi Ed! I was wondering where you've been. Now why is my name first on your list? I am an angel people!! Haven't I already told you that?! Harry makes me say bad things.

Speaking of road trip, tonight DH said we may be driving to Florida next August. I don't think so!

Oh Just think of the fun.

Licence plate bingo, car sing a longs.

Confusing road side signs. Going down the road we saw a sign that read Lee's quaity tires. But we thought it say LESS Quality Tires. We laughed for miles.

Your're first on the list, cause its Ladies first

 

[caitlinsdad]

Sorry Ed, yes, how is Caitlin's toe? Harry will take care of the kid that tripped her up.

Caitlin is doing ok, I need to retape the toe even couple of days, but she is doing ok

 

[caitlinsdad]

Sounds good, since Abby will be doing all of the 24+ hours of driving, I will bring a cooler of uhhh... "cold beverages", yeah that's it, and since Abby is the desinated driver, we can be the designated drinkers. Sounds good, right guys??

 

[caitlinsdad]

We definately are driving, autotrain home. DH's cousin works for Amtrak- and I am going to try for a discount!!

Hey if you can , go for it

 

[caitlinsdad]

I hope, I think it might be the auto train for us if things don't level off. I knew we might pay more in 09 but i'm not ready to pay just as much for airfare as at the cruise.

We have used the autotrain in one direction the last three trips down,
Not sure if we will next year or not yet. but its Autotrain or drive the whole way.

They have done this the last couple of summers.

It cost the three of us Car included about 820.00 last year. for 1 way.

But we rented two cabins adjoined. We have also used the family bedroom. It's a little cheaper if you go couch, but then you are in a section with many people and you sleep in reclining seats.
