Yes, but it's a really slow work day, and iTunes is still broken for new phone activation.

That's great! We've been saving ours for almost 2 years and got quite a bit. Now we're saving all our singles - DS uses them during the school year to buy lunch but once we have enough to make it through the end of the year we start saving them also - we have over $125 in singles alone! I also save all of our recycling money.

That's wonderful! Admittedly it did take a couple of years to save this up as well. Just the 2 of us.

I may be wrong but they need to account for baggage weights of certain sizes because they load the luggage area of each plane by weight. Back to physics...4 bags of 60lbs in the front of the plane and 4 bags of 30 lbs in the back of the plane means the front is heavier. They need to balance 2 bags of each for example to make sure that each luggage zone is even and the plane can handle it. If you have ever been on a small propeller plane and seen the flight attendant walk up the aisle counting the people, she/he is doing a weight calculation - to make sure the pilots are comfortable with the balance of the aircraft. I've been on small planes where they told me I could sit "in this seat, that seat or this one, but nothing behind row 4 and not on the OTHER side of the aisle!"

Unfortunately, there was a plane crash a few years ago that was the result of overloading a luggage area on a small commuter plane; the plane took off, only to climb straight up and then crash. That was a tiny 19 seater and it was also attributed to a maintenance issue...those ground crews usually know what they are doing - even though they all look like Samsonite luggage testers, throwing bags around in attempts to see what they can break.

Other factors might include an overall desire to reduce weight, and possibly extra costs if there are union rules that make the cost to handle baggage over 50 pounds more expensive.

IMO DCL would not put itself in the postion of liabilty if there was any chance of a DCL passenger getting kiddnapped. Having a few friends that are in Law Enforcement in large cities in Columbia, I asked if there were issues of safety for cruise passengers. One agent told me there was more likley the risk of food and water contamination than being a victim of crime. He recommends staying with groups. As with any excursions outside your comfort zone, keep aware of your surroundings, if you get that feeling that maybe you shouldn't go down that road or alley, Don't.
Tell your children about the dangers of drinking unsafe water and not to take any food that you have not checked.
While we are all on vacation, we should enjoy it, but not loose sight of where we are. IMO only.

I think we should get together and insist that Micahel Douglas join us in Cartagena. We know he can handle anything that comes along....
