Wow... I just checked the thread numbers... I haven't been in the top 10 in a LOOOOOONG time No wonder Randall was asking who hacked my account

I've been lazy this month and not posted much. So lazy I must have missed the post with post count. Where can I find it?

Hey Paul. Looks like I'll be having Lunch with Canadians before we get together again. Imagine.....20 miles apart and unable to meet. Let me know when things slow down and there's some time.

Unacceptable! How is next Friday? Lets put it on the calendar!

Drinking and planning a Disney vacation are not good partners.

Incorrect.

Wrong. Drinking goes well with most everything.

Correct.

EasyWDW is one of my favorite Disney site. After you start reading a few of his posts and start becoming familiar with Josh's personality you start looking forward to new updates all the time. And the cost for all this information is FREE.99$!!!!!

On today's blog post this made me laugh:

"Sure, you could stay at the Ritz for less, but do they have Mickey stickers, asbestos, and pixie dust? I think not. Or maybe the asbestos and pixie dust are the same thing."

Hahahahahahaha dude is funny as heck. Also, his recommendations for park days are pretty much always bang on. And he explains his reasoning for each day.

PS. It's really FREE.00$ but its funner to say FREE.99$.

Good morning gentlemen. I just shaved off a four day beard. Really don't like looking in the mirror and seeing the fuzz is more grey than red.

That would be about $4.50 a dozen based on the today's exchange rate. Higher than I would pay but better than the price they are trying to charge here.

It seems like the farmers have jacked the price up the last few years. I remember the stands being $4 and the "baker's dozen" we bought being $5 not all that long ago.

An old dog can learn new tricks. Although, teaching a woman not to pack extra stuff is impossible.

I see a man law

Morning everyone...Staycation II is officially over, time to trudge back to work....BUT 7 shifts, 8 days to go!!

Way to look on the bright side.

Good morning.


Do you ever wake up feeling like someone beat you with a 2X4 while you were asleep and have no idea why you feel that way?

Every Monday.

Doing a little planning here...

Any Virginia folks on here ever fly out of RIC?

This will be our first trip with a child, so I'm sure we'll over pack. Thanks to Southwest's free baggage, I'm not too concerned other than getting the luggage from the car to the terminal. For those who have, what's your experience with getting a luggage cart in the garage. At some airports I know luggage carts can be difficult to find other than at baggage claim.

Also looking at using an off-terminal provider. They advertise that they will pick you up at your car and drop you off at the terminal. So that is another option.

How did they take moving into the same room? I know mine hated it when we downsized to a 2 bedroom for a year.
Do you know yet are you having another DD or did you luck out with a DS this time?

Well, we haven't actually moved them yet. The 2 yo still ends up in our bed every night. Occasionally the 7 yo ends up sleeping on our floor. These are both habits I want to break them of. Hopefully putting them in the same room might cure their 'lonelyness'. This not the long term solution. Eventually we plan to upgrade to a bigger house, just not sure what the timeline is on that at this point.

We have a boy on the way so that is exciting! Finally a reason to buy new action figures.

Haven't flown out of RIC yet. That would be an hour and a half the wrong way for us Not sure if you've flown Southwest yet or not... just be aware that there is a 50 lbs limit on the checked luggage for free. After that they start charging a fee.

I'd love to fly out of PHF, buy since AirTran made their last flight, prices are just too high. $120/person round trip was hard to beat. It's just shy of an hour for us.

Yeah, I know about the 50 lb limit. I sure hope we don't pack more than that in one suitcase!

Whoa! $120 round trip?? I haven't seen that price to MCO in years. Great score!

Not sure I ever congratulated you on the boy on the way so big congrats! And enjoy being able to go down the action figure aisles when out shopping

Also, how are the Bears looking? They are not getting much coverage on ESPN nor NFL Network.

I haven't gone there with a luggage rack, but I was at RIC twice this past weekend. Looked like you should have no problem. I'll be back there on Saturday and will take another look.

The park & ride is a great option. If you are coming in off 64, turn down one of the side roads by the Wawa. There are probably signs for it. I've used their service many times. Way cheaper than parking at the airport itself and a short ride to the terminal.
