Off topic but sort of AM related because I was using an AM airline ticket when this happened. I have been obsessively (on and off) trying to see the Disney Magic plane for years now. Well today I was making a connection through Toronto when what to my wondering eyes should appear... The Disney Magic plane sitting at a gate as we were walking to make our next flight.
I walked over to the window, put down my bag of goodies and announced to the people who were sitting there that I was one of those Disney obsessed crazy people and just had to get a photo of this plane.
We continued on our way to our gate and I took more pictures from a different vantage point. It was a great day. I hadn't been looking forward to having to make a connection in Toronto on my flight home but this made it all worthwhile. The new (to me) area for connections behind security is a game changer. I have avoided flying through Toronto at all costs these past few years, until now. Looks like I can put connections back on my list of possibilities.
I am that person as well! When we were heading to DL in February, the Frozen plan was parked at YVR and we could see it on the way to our gate. I was super excited! The Mickey plane was parked at a gate when we arrived in YVR as well on our previous DL trip. I've yet to be pixie dusted with the ability to ride on one yet![]()
Last day of school! I'm letting kiddo sleep in and will take him instead of having to go to daycare. I'll pick him up at the end as well (I expect a full back pack of all the stuff he did over the year). After I drop him off I'll get to Sobeys to pick up some cookies/crackers for those daycare/camp lunches the next few weeks. I may go to Metro as well, my offers are kind of funny there, I have one for spend $5 get 5 AM. I guess they really want me to shop there?![]()
OMG, watch out for the Duck! I'm a beyond excited right now, trip is a solid go now. I was getting concerned because i hadn't heard back from the travel agent with an invoice for the deposit on the hotel and the airfare (had to be paid in full). Also a tad annoyed to get an email from WestJet bright and early this morning telling me about a seat sale that priced the flights lower than i had been quoted. Asked hubby to check the AMEX statement and the deposit was paid on Tuesday but the flights not till late yesterday -- AT THE SALE PRICE!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure what others consider a decent RT fare on WestJet out of Pearson for non-stop flights, but we're happy with anything under $1,000 and they came in at $835 That's for mid-January on Wednesday flights, 7:30 am departure from YYZ and 9:25 pm departure from MCO giving almost full days at both ends of the trip.
Further update that pertains to AM ... they've suggested we pay for the entire trip with our AMEX to get insurance coverage (and maximize the miles) and then they'll issue a cheque for the value of the Travel Vouchers. That will net us an extra 220 AM for using the AMEX card (earn rate of 1 mile/$15 on that $3,300 ) AND one more thing for future reference if anyone is ever dragging their feet over using a travel agent because you'll be stuck with whatever package the airlines offer, that's not the case! They used a company called "TravelBrands" to source the exact hotel we wanted and the exact flights on the airline we wanted to create the package we wanted!
This took FOREVER and caused many sleepless nights (and a bunch more grey hair in my case and missing hair in hubby's) but, DANG, this worked out better than i could ever have imagined. Thanks for putting up with my whining and stress mutterings over the last year.

I was very lucky on a return flight from Halifax to ride on the Mickey plane. The seat backs have stars like pixie dust on them. So they do the inside as well.I am that person as well!

If you have not already paid the full amount on your Amex I would advise that you check into this a little further. That was not an option that I was offered when I used the vouchers and I did ask about maximizing my AM earnings. We actually discussed the number of miles I could earn if the vouchers counted towards payment. I have used a VERY knowledgeable travel agent(both travel and AM) when I have made my AM bookings in the past. My concern is that you get stuck paying the amount that you charge to the Amex.OMG, watch out for the Duck! I'm a beyond excited right now, trip is a solid go now.

As to the reservation options.....all travel agents have the ability to piece together anything that you want....the problem is that most don't know how or won't put in the work required to find what you want. For example, a place like Flight Centre, all you have to do to get hired there is pass the personality test. They do a little training but it's minimal and mainly consists of using the booking system.
Just the end of the yearIs this your last day, like in FOREVER, or just the end of the year? Either way.. it's time to celebrate!!!

Has anyone else received an email from Staples.ca asking you to click on a link and reset your password. "Click on a link" sends up all kind of red flags with me.
When I get around to it I think I will just go to the website directly and change my password there.

I got the same email but when I hold my mouse over the email sender and all of the links (not clicking on them) it doesn't show up as Staples so I wouldn't click on it. When I went into the real Staples website it does prompt you to log in to your account to activate it under their new site. Haven't done that yet though.NO!!!! Don't ever click on that type of link.
There's no way a legitimate email would have a direct link to do change anything related to your account.
Does anyone know if Rexall sells Shell gas GC's?
