No room and flights changing. And people wonder why I'm crazy!

If you didn't already need a vacation, you'll need one now.

I lied! They do.

Yes dear... it is... How foolish of me (Kitty giggles)

I get confused between Colin Firth and Hugh Grant and then I get really screwed up when they appear in BJD!!!



Pack umbrella straws... CHECK....

I hope you know that I was not mocking you. I am really not up on Jane Austen. I think I may have only read one work, Sense and Sensibility. Austin was always considered chick-lit.

I did just reread for the third time a fantastic companion book, "What Jane Austen Ate, What Charles Dickens Knew." It is the essential book for explaining everything there is to know about 19th Century England, from titles to land management, to money, to which fork to pick up at dinner.

I feel it is alway best to prepare for an unexpected rip in the fabric of space and time. One never knows when one might be on the Michigan Avenue bus and unexpectedly be hurled through a time warp into 19th Century Bath.

I like to be prepared for these sorts of emergencies.

Michelle, I'm impressed that you could pick out the names of the houses.

A gal who knows her cottages!

Is the DIS just crawling for anyone else other than me?

Did someone sneak in an over 250 page thread?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Most airlines would send you an email or such... but I always check to see what's going on and especially the day before... I call to confirm!!!

Thanks Michelle, that is very wise and good advice. I will do that.

Yes it should! I told ya'll I was going crazy. I changed it in the original post. Thanks for pointing this out!

Ok, so I have to admit that I have an agreement with my best friend.....If ever I am in an accident or something, don't come straight to the hospital...first go to my house and make sure it is presentable!!!
I have promised the same for her....after all, what are true friends for....right?

That sounds like you have a great friend there!

Some places around here are starting to go back to paper bags instead of plastic. Some towns have actually banned the use of plastic bags.

There is a store here that charges 5 cents per plastic bag. They have always done that since they opened up. In addition you get the benefit of having to bag your own groceries. They say that it results in savings that they pass on to the consumer, but truthfully I don't find their prices that much cheaper.

OK, back on my soapbox here. Other than for bagging dog poo, I HATE HATE HATE plastic bags. I argued with the people in our company about going to such a high degree with plastic. We still offer a choice, and I don't care what the plastic bag guys say, the plastic bags are impossible to pack well - compared to paper. I could beat the pants off of someone if I was packing paper and they were using plastic. Plus, I bet your bread would not be squished either!

This not even mentioning the environmental impact.

We'll probably leave about 6:00-6:30am......it takes a half an hour to get to the airport and we'll need to be there at least one hour in advance. It's my first plane trip since 911. So all the rules are foreign to me. This should be an experience. I love planes, John hates them and gets sick, which is why we always drive.

I'm getting the same thing and was wondering the same thing.

I was about to do a reboot on my laptop. Guess it's the DIS then if you're getting it too.

Hi,
My son (10) is sitting right here with me. He plays both Pokeman and Yu-gi-oh. He would be open to playing and/or teaching the game, he is considered intermediate. He would be open to some trading. And he will be bringing his cards along.

Joseph

That would be awesome...my son will be so happy...he loves games and learns fast...he'll be happy to bring his cards. My DS is 7 hopefully he won't mind..but he's a quick learner. Are you going to any of the miniDIS meets in CA ? We are not sure yet because its the March one we could go to due to their spring break vacation and its a Sunday holiday weekend

My flight to MCO has changed AGAIN! We were suppose to arrive at 11:30 and now it's 2:15.

Airtran - this is the 4th time!

No room and flights changing. And people wonder why I'm crazy!

we don't think that

I have a question for the Disneyland regulars...
We are only going to be able to stay over Sun and Mon at Disneyland, and haven't been before. What are the don't want to miss things you suggest?
It's me, DH, and 4 kiddies, ages 12-4. Thanks for any suggestions.

I grew up on WDW so was excited to go to DL for the first time...I liked California Adventure though it does not take that long to see most of it....loved the Alladin show there and tried to ride those rides WDW doesn't have or no longer have like Mr. Toad's wild ride and the bobsled ride.....it was fun for us...but I do like WDW better since there is more and its bigger

shouldn't this be Fri the 9th????

I was thinking the same thing but was thinking what do I know everyone knows so much more than me


gotta run...DH waiting to watch the invasion with nicole kidman...hope its nott scary ..I don't like scary movies.

 

[iankh]

I've been wonder who else here has pets and what are you doing with them for the 15+ nights?

[EllaEnchanted]

Yeah, I saw this earlier too and didn't notice. Oh well. We definitely need this vacation to get here.

John, I think that would be pretty easy to do. I use powerpoint pretty regularly to prepare my class lectures, but I always do the whole thing on one computer...so the only part I don't know about is how much time it will take to add a bunch of pages to one report. I will have my computer on board and it does have powerpoint. I wonder if people can email me that page ahead of time so I can come onboard with that portion already prepared? John, if it was done in powerpoint...would Sophia have the ability to open and use it since it isn't your program of choice?

Sure!

I actually like the new MS Office for the Mac, and unlike the Windoze version, it comes in a cardboard box which was very easy to open!

You're talking to someone who just did at least 5 weeks of Jane Austen on Masterpiece Theater!!! I do pack P&P for every vacation because just incase I do run out of things to read and I'm stuck somewhere... I can always get a good read out of P&P....

We'll probably leave about 6:00-6:30am......it takes a half an hour to get to the airport and we'll need to be there at least one hour in advance. It's my first plane trip since 911. So all the rules are foreign to me. This should be an experience. I love planes, John hates them and gets sick, which is why we always drive.

Just remember - especially because of your legs...that you must take your shoes off now and put them through the xray machine... I recommend slip ons... Mocs are my faves...

I've been wonder who else here has pets and what are you doing with them for the 15+ nights?
.

I put off adopting until after this trip, but I know that near me there are boarding places that are like pet condos... I know one of the women out by you have used them (the one room her dog uses is Winnie the Pooh decorated...makes her feel less guilty)

Cameron gets along with most kids, as a PK, he has to spend time with children of all ages. We are only able to be at the April "meet", since we are part of morning church services. We will be at WDW on May 7th, and attending the "meet" at DTD on the 9th. If we don't meet up, we will figure out how to get them together. He's excited now that he knows there will be someone else who would like to play.
