.....Things went very well today. Though Sarah is still mildly anemic she is still to the lower end of the range and I will not need the amnio or the transfusion...this week. They will watch very closely every week and the goal is to get to 37 weeks when they will just deliver her. They say she has a ton of hair, I did not see that but I did see her chillin out blinking her eyes and sucking on her hand. Too cool!

Oh that's such a relief! We'll have to keep fingers crossed and prayers said for the next 5 weeks then!

That IS waayyyyyy cool!

Congrats, Jen!!! Hang in there a little longer!

WOW< thanks for the GREAT advice, can I ask a few more questiosn?

I already purchased insurance thru Disney, can I cancel it and if so will it be cheaper with insuremytrip.com

how much do you put for per person medical?

My quote was between 250.00-375.00, is that good?

I am SO clueless when it comes to all of this

Thanks

My guess is you cannot cancel the Disney insurance.
Technically you are insured right now in case you need to cancel for an unforseen reason. It may however factor if you did not pay your trip in full yet. I guess it does not hurt to ask.

My 2007 cruise was as follows

2 Adult, 2 Kids Premium $230.20

Per person coverage (I estimated cruise cost and flight into the 946 pp)
The 946 may be at 125% of cost estimate though. Cannot remember


Trip Cancellation: $ 946
Trip Interruption: $ 1,419
Travel Baggage: $ 1,500
Baggage Delay: $ 500
Travel Delay: $ 1,000
Accidental Death
24 Hour: $ 50,000
Common Carrier: Included in 24 Hour
Flight: $ 200,000**
Medical: $ 250,000**
Dental: $ 750 Incl. in Medical
Emergency Evacuation: $ 1,000,000**
Rental Car Collision/Loss: $ 50,000**
--------------------------------------------------------------------
**Flight Insurance Policy Maximum Limit $300,000
**Accidental Death Policy Maximum Limit $100,000
**Medical Policy Maximum Limit $250,000
**Emergency Evacuation Policy Maximum Limit $1,000,000
**Rental Car Policy Maximum Limit $50,000


Funny thing about insurance you never know how good your policy is until you have to make a claim. Our fellow traveling party had same coverage and had a $350 bill on board in the infirmary. Upon returning they sent her a form and she filled it out along with copy of bill. She had check in 10 days from insurance company.

So for a minor incident I have a confirmed positive experience. Hopefully I will never have a large one.

I'm not sure if you can cancel the Disney insurance and go with something else, but if I could give you some advise stick with the Disney Insurance. I had to use it a couple of years ago when my mother had a mild stroke on board ship (luckily we were still at Port Canaveral) and we were VERY, VERY pleased with them.

[Scrappingjen]

Our hard drive crashed. It was dead dead dead wouldn't even reformat.

I did have the kids pics backed up but everything else is gone to cyper heaven. I keep looking for things and guess what they are not there. UUUgggg but its life.

Glad to read the baby is okay Jen

 

[AQW]

Our hard drive crashed. It was dead dead dead wouldn't even reformat.

ACK! That's a big fear of mine - I'm so glad your kids' pics were okay. I haven't backed mine up in a while, off to do that now!

It's Spreading!!!!!!

Glad to know it's not just me!

Nope, not just you! I spend hours online when everyone is asleep, just surfing for more info.

Where to eat? When to eat there? Excrusions? Things to do onboards? ETC. I am SO EXCITED about this cruise!

 

[FatCat]

Well it is official.

I booked my airfare today. Prices droppped a bit and I wanted to hedge against potential fuel and flight supply issues that may occur.

Got 4 seats round trip for $848.
Not a great deal. But pretty fair for what I have paid over the past 3 years.
When I used to fly out of NY trips to Orlando seemed to be on average a lot less.
Now Flying out of Chicago area and they all seem to average around $200.

This 2nd bag fee if imposed is going to be interesting. My two kids are each under 50 pounds. Perhaps I can negotiate if they give me the extra fuel cost for the extra weight argument. Probably not...

Hi Jen - Glad that everything is OK with the baby! We will continue to keep you in our prayers!

Chris, congrats on becoming "official"!!

Interesting that you saw airfare dropping. I have a fare alert on Kayak, and this week it's increased. Today it went up $1! woo hoo, right???
I'm waiting for Southwest to come out on Thursday...hopefully from that point on fares will improve. Right now the best fare is $288/person with 1 stop on the way....NOT typical at all...of course with fuel costs, I'm not expecting typical.

My two kids are each under 50 pounds. Perhaps I can negotiate if they give me the extra fuel cost for the extra weight argument. Probably not...

 

[FatCat]

Actually what I did was fly two different airlines.
I found that the times I wanted was causing the price to go up.

So I broke it in two.

Aren't you proud?! I haven't had time to listen yet, but hope to one evening this week. Your turn, Erica!

Before my arm was twisted this week, the next most recent CD I received as a gift. It's the Buckeye Blend. They're a barbershop quartet who are of course, Buckeyes! John is an aquaintance of mine and a very close friend to a friend of mine. Besides being very talented, they are MOST entertaining. Very funny men! They come up with some hilarious spoofs to sing. John as well as another guy in the quartet actually compete nationally in other ensembles they belong to and do very well.

What do I desire next???? Hmmmm....

Actually I think I want to create my first CD (I'm not big on downloading songs, so I'm green in this area) with a compulation of vacation music to pump me up when I need a lift. I bookmarked two great threads with wonderful song ideas that you may find helpful, too.

I seem to recall that nearly year ago to the date, we had some conversation around the program "Deadliest Catch". My DVR picked up the first season's show tonight. So for the rest of you who love this show, heads up that it's King Crab season on the Discovery Channel again!
