I called all my cards to compare their "conversion rate" or whatever they call the fee for using the card out of the US. Mine ranged from 1% to 5%. I recommend if you have more than one credit card to call all of your card companies to find the best deal. We have three Visas...I have no idea why since we only use DV for everyday stuff and the other sit in the safe. I'm digging one of the other cards out of the safe for this trip so we only pay 1% in fees.





I wondered that - did LaTanya have a Cat 12 or do you think maybe someone is getting a surprise upgrade?

I think that was probably her cabin.. 2021 which was a 12...(I am pretty sure it's a 12)

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

hmm..cat 12 is gone...I guess maybe someone is joining us?

ANDY!!!

How ya doing'

we miss ya buddy!

Doing good Crash!!!

We're going to WDW the end of this month for 5 days, then Angelina will be starting Massage Therapy School on 9/15. I started going to the gym every morning since July 4th. So far I have lost 9.5 pounds and several inches. I put in a 45 minute workout during the work week, and a 90 minute workout on the weekends. I have seen a great increase in my energy level, and my knees are actually feeling better with all the exercising I have been doing. Angelina joins me at the gym during the week, but she sleeps in on the weekends. We are there when the doors open at 6am.

I can't wait to hear all about your EBPC cruise!!!

24 hrs from lift off! I am getting giddy!

DW is all done packing... (thank you darling... but she is never on the boards... so she will never read this)

More good news... the last item i need for the FE arrived (my FE has 6 parts and requires assembly - which I will do while flying tomorrow). Its a 'creative' gift (though not as creative as the Roaming Gnome)... I hope you guys like it!

Sil, are you staying near the airport before the flight? I heard the Jade East has nice rooms.

[m&m's mom]

wow a real vaction i am jealous. . i work until friday and then have to be back on the 2nd.. bright eyed and ready to go..


but as one can tell since i am here several times today.. that my brain has switched into vacation mode... but i still need to go through the motions.. I was gonna work from home tomorrow but partner just scheduled a meeting so.. I guess i be here.. but friday I am definetly working from home.. ( famous last words )

I am close. working til 2:00 on Friday (my normal time) and I thought I was going to have to be back on Tuesday but my boss reminded me I took it off.
Since I work from home it should not be too bad starting the work week on Wednesday.

Did you check USAA? My Dad said they waive the conversion charge.

Hey Andy!!
Glad to hear everything there is going well!

Some really great rooms can be had at the Jade East!

Andy.......glad to hear the knees are doing better. No more There-A-Gesic???

Glad to hear everything is going well. Keep up the exercise program. I got to throw away my high blood pressure pills once I lost weight and exercised.

Maybe someday our paths will cross again.

Do you really think we will have another pirate before we all leave??????????? What could still have to possibly discuss!!!

About when the shopping fairy will get my DH to the store, when the packing fairy will get to my house, when the cleaning fairy will arrive...


Oh yeah, when the teleport fairy will get me to CA so I don't have to fly.

 

[micmse2003]

I will do my part. Hey it might be the only way to get myself a I can talk to myself.

I bet you get the right answers too!!





Glad it worked out. I just found out today I need to re-book for next May while on board. I know someone who's getting married.
( Note to self.......need to get a job when back to reality )

Okay so who is getting married??

Last minute cruise question....

Do you pack your door magnets in your carry-on or checked bag? We've never had them, so I don't know!
(Sorry, kind of a silly question, I know). My brain is overloaded and tired right now.

Thanks!

A couple of quick prayer/good thoughts requests.....

1) That our SIL's mother makes a full recovery. She has lung cancer that they think they caught early. She's already had the surgery.

2) that the couple that are trying to buy one of our *extra* houses can quailify for the loan. We are giving them a tremendous deal (dh knows them) and he was going to be doing the *fix* up work for us to get it ready for sale anyway...Dh told him that he would sell it to him for $40,000 off the going rate for the neighborhood if we didn't have to do any of the clean up, fix up, etc.... Most of the fix up is cosmetic (all of it is upstairs -- the bathrooms up there needed to be updated) since we had the downstairs completely redone in the last 2 yrs. All new kitchen, etc.....

I have her in my thoughts and prayers.

I haven't had to use any Thera-Gesic in awhile now!!!

Gotta run, all 3 of us have dentist appointments at 6pm. Hazel and Angelina for their six month check-up and I have to have a filling replaced, lucky me!!!

Thanks, Andy. I wish you were going with us, though.

PV Zip Line Taxi Sharing

There has been a little discussion on the PZ about meeting up and sharing taxis for getting over to the Los Veranos office. The plan is for anyone who wants to share, meeting up in the atrium (by the mickey statue) a little before Noon for the 1PM tour. Other groups may be arranging similar things, but the 1PM tour will definitely be doing it for any that are interested.

We figure it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to exit the ship to the taxi area, another 20 minutes to the Los Veranos office and they ask us to be there 20 minutes early on the confirmation.

Sounds great
We're interested

Not a silly question. I pack mine in carry-on because not sure what they would look like x-rayed???? I figure at least I can explain what they are for.
