8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #4

[m&m's mom]

I actually knew better but had too much time waiting for "surgery".
In 1996 when Megan was born we had the internet but it was not what it is today. Later I researched Megans Necrotizing Enercolitis. Thankfully the key word is later as I would have been worse off if I known the very high death rate. She beat the odds (again).

Ok here is your funny for the day. I was talking to my neighbor the other day and she casually mentioned when she took her shower that morning the cat was dirty so she .............took the cat in the shower with her For anyone that has cats this is probably shocking! She said she held him and washed him and then when finished with him she put him down in the shower and finished hers. She has no idea how odd it is for a cat to do that as this is her 1st cat.
My cat would scratch me to the bone if I tried that.

$10?????? What??
I was excited with $75 tickets home.

Well, $75 tickets is still VERY good! And there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, we are flying into Burbank, so Super Shuttle to HoJo will cost us a little more. But it is a non-stop flight to LA!!! On the trip home, we have a 2 hour drive to St. Augustine Airport and a 5:58pm departure. It is also non-stop, so we will arrive home around 8pm. Finally, we have to pay $10 for each bag we check. All things considered, I know we got a great deal, and I'm very grateful I was able to snag them.

Skybus sells the first 10 seats on every flight for $10 each. We took 6 of them on our flight, the 4 of us plus my parents. Within minutes, the price of tickets on that same flight went up to $105 each.

Isn't that a great feeling! I would definitey say your "score" makes up for the small inconveniences you will have. Timing is everything!

 

[goofyforlife]

drink lots of water or Diet coke!

Diet coke will take paint off cars and you're drinking lots of it?

Diet colas in general should be a no no as the chemicals in them are a diuretic and if your body is dehydrated it doesn't function properly (ie lose weight)

If you put water, sodas, liquor etc in carry ons or check ins and if it is found, it will be confiscated

So no more carry-on water or liquor? Has this been confirmed?

ok now what do i drink for 15 days.... i don't drink fountain drinks and i won't drink they're water (tastes funny) and i don't like their bottled brand either.

i better be able to carry on.

Believe me whne I say they will outgrow the ST age. I have a 38 and 34 year old that made it!!

And i'm only a little older than your 34 yo remember MOM......

My st's carp makes me look like an angel....

Yeah...I was a nerd.
Still am.
But I'm a fun nerd!

I was NHS president my senior year...it wasn't a big deal in our school... i was kinda a smart slacker though....

Some young singer once said something like "when I was 18 I thought I knew everything, But I really knew nothing... Now I'm 22 and I still don't know anything, but now I realize it"--something like that.

Yeah i don't think she'll make 18.... but she better have a place to live then because it won't be under my roof. I'll put the house up for sale and move if i have to. (and we won't be giving out our forwarding address either.)

I called DCL to ask about the carry on rules for liquids (rum and the likes )
They said that their rules for this have not changed. It cannot have any ice, no hard sided coolers and must fit in the scanners


If the port rules have changed it is up to them what they will accept or not but the rule for the ports has always been that you could not ship liquids or anything in glass containers. If they are no longer accepting shipped boxes it is because they were getting too many and could not process them correctly therefore it is a safety issue. Liquids, wine, beer, soda, water, cannot be in your checked luggage. The rule doesn't apply to toiletries, shampoo and such those can be in your checked luggage

 

[buckifan]

: ok now what do i drink for 15 days....

Lots of Rum!

 

[poohssmum]

We're flying home on Skybus We'll be flying home from Punta Gorda on Tuesday ... FIL lives there, so it's a nice excuse for the kids to see their Grandpa. So what that they'll miss the first day of school, right I'd been holding out booking our flights home waiting on Southwest to open their flights up for September ... then I got scared when they were talking on the TV this morning that flight prices are going to do nothing but soar over the summer For the price of a one-way ticket on Delta from Orlando on September 1st, I can fly 3 of us home on September 2nd DH is going to spend a few extra days in Punta Gorda w/his Dad, so I haven't booked his flight home yet.

Happy Wednesday everyone

[captaincrash]

No...thank you. Deanna's been so diligent in checking every morning and was great in sending me a text message this morning when she saw they were released. I've never been so happy for a 6AM text message on my phone and it simply said "Skybus NOW!". We scored $10 tickets too. Thanks again Deanna.

We finally have our flights!

I scored $10 tickets both ways with Skybus this morning. Thanks to a tip from Joel....Thanks again Joel!

I am so glad to scratch that one off of my list!

Congrats! I am VERY impressed with your bargain prize! And you all KNOW how Alicia and I love a BARGAIN!

We're looking at $204 for our flights home on Delta - or we might fly Air TRan for $185 a connection. For my taste the $15 is not worth stopping enroute. We gotta settle on our flights prettty soon.

Kandi--that's great! How nice you will get a visit in! We have to fly home on th 1st because our kids will already be missing a couple of school days.

I wouldn't wait too long on booking your dh's flight, though. The prices can go up FAST! Good luck!

Lucky for you, you only have to book flights for one leg of the trip! I would go for the non-stop!

Good Morning All

What a bargin!!! That's fantastic! Still looking for flights home...We would prefer to fly into Modesto but so far nothing under $200... ouch. Will probably fly into Sacramento then have an hour drive home... yuck.

Thanks Deanna ... actually I can't book DH's flights home yet because the dates aren't open. Since I'm the family travel agent he should probably be on his best behavior until those dates open up, or I just might "forget" to book him to come home

Okay, I will tell you what I have learned about Skybus......the pattern seems to be that they will release dates on a Wednesday morning at 6am. I would look out for more dates to open up next month sometime, since June and July were released on Feb. 6th, at 6am. But this is just a guess.

Don't panic yet!!! Lots of the WB people have no rooms yet either!!! If we have to....we will hide you in some of the lifeboats!!

Wow $10.00. I just feel like taking an airplane ride for that price Who cares where you might go.

No...thank you. Deanna's been so diligent in checking every morning and was great in sending me a text message this morning when she saw they were released. I've never been so happy for a 6AM text message on my phone and it simply said "Skybus NOW!". We scored $10 tickets too. Thanks again Deanna.

That is great news!!! Drinks are on you with all the money saved.

I did the worst possible thing: I researched my Mohs surgery on the internet.
Scared myself silly. I saw a case study that showed the exact spot and seemingly same size I had so I thought it would be a good one to see. WRONG!! The poor man had a gaping hole all the way through his nose. I called the nurse and asked if that was what I should prepare myself for. She was pretty appalled I had even thought that. She said to definitely expect stitches though. That I can deal with- gaping holes- not so much!

Happy Hump Day everyone.

The internet can sometimes give you too much information. I had my mole operated on again yesterday. I was allergic to the Neosporin I was told to put on for the last three weeks. I was wondering why it was crimson colored. I thought it was infected and Dr. would not be able to operate to get the other bad cells. He just said to stop using the medicine and I need to put Aquaphor on the new stitches. This time insteat of 2 stitches.....I got 8 stitches. The good news is he said it was like having a line removed from my mouth without paying for plasctic surgery.

 

[smeecanada]

My cat would scratch me to the bone if I tried that.

Mine too! I can't believe she actually did that and the cat cooperated. Lucky woman.

Arrived at the Disneyland Hotel about 8:30am Friday morning. Got checked in, but the room wasn’t ready yet. Trevoy and I headed into the parks via the Monorail. Crowds were not bad and we were able to get in Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Storybookland Canal Boats, Big Thunder Mountain, and Haunted Mansion before heading to Goofy’s Kitchen for brunch at 11am....

Even though I'm relatively new to this thread, I enjoyed reading the trip report and viewing the pictures. Thanks for sharing. It does look like a fun group. Our family is relatively shy (well except for my DW and youngest DS), but we are really looking forward to meeting all of you.

Wow. I had never even heard of Skybus. I'm hoping to snag $60 to $75 one-way tickets on Southwest.

 

[sk8ingmom]

See.... everyone agrees!

so...you and I are everyone now Tom?

Diet coke will take paint off cars and you're drinking lots of it?

Diet colas in general should be a no no as the chemicals in them are a diuretic and if your body is dehydrated it doesn't function properly (ie lose weight)

Yeah, but what's going to keep me awake in the afternoon?
Besides, I don't have any car paint inside of me to worry about.

 

[justmestace]

Hi!! A very quick fly-by posting this morning.....company keeps me hopping...but I love being "tour guide".

Thank you so much for the great birthday wishes!! I DID get roses, but they weren't quite delivered by anyone resembling the guy in the picture here! My family really went all out, and they touched my heart with decorating the house in the wee hours before I woke up, flowers, gifts, balloons and a really wonderful dinner that included our visiting DIS friends. Doesn't get much better than that!!

Thank you again, I really, really appreciate it!!


Off and running!
