Relax gaylean...I'm taking a book called "the historian" on board. Among others. I would love to finish this book, I am about 3/4 the way through it. It's similiar to the Da Vinci Code in style (factual historical places) but all about dracula. I am also bringing The Other Boleyn Girl, and a biography about a woman who was raised in a polygamist lifestyle and subsequent marriage. I'd like to bring Jenna Jamiesons biography too, but the title of the book worries me...not very disney.

OK you can send one over my way when you're done with it.

Good morning from the East Coast.

Remember all my trouble with Travelocity last year and I SWORE I would never use them again......well Vanessa was going to see her best friend in Alabama (exchange student her name is Ea) when Ea's granmother had a stroke earlier this week and then passed yesterday.

Well, Vanessa had booked her trip though Travelocity....so I have been trying to help her change her flight to later in the month. I called AirTran (the airline) they said no problem....there is a $75 fee.....so we found two flights on Airtran that Vanessa wanted and then called Travelocity. We held for 1 hour.....got transfered around to three different people who could not speak much English...I asked the 3rd rep to take my phone # in case we got disconnected and he said they are not allowed to make any outbound calls. I guess it is to expensive to call from India.....

Anyway, he fought me all the way on the changes and he said he had to call Airtran....so he placed me on hold, and then he came back and said AirTran had a 20 minute wait, I said Fine I will wait and the next thing I know the phone is ringing like I had made a new call.

So all of a sudden I did not have the Travelocity blerb playing in the backround it was saying something about Frontier Airlines.....after another 20 minute wait (now I have been on the phone for over 2 hours with nothing accomplished) someone form Frontier Airlines answered the phone.

Now how did that happen.....no one hung up.....I asked them if Frontier Airlines was the same as AirTran and she said no...I explained what happened to me an I think she thought I was nuts. and of course she thought I was nuts!!

So I got up at 5am....to call Travelocity back and I have been on hold for 35 minutes now ....her flight is tomorrow morning so it need to be cancelled 24 hours before.....

Lisa

[nskjerven]

Ian, Am I on the list??
Lisa

[gaylean93]

I can't believe you are up this early after all that chatting last night!

I woke up at 6:00 and came to see what was going on. I couldn't sleep. I just didn't talk because well I'm not a morning person. I didn't want you all to mistake me for Nan. Mean.

 

[tink1963]

Why thank you. I think the chat began way after I was tucked up in bed!!!

Me too. And I'm a left coaster too.

[taysmom]

Does anyone ever notice that renee zellwegers eyes are open in all her movies, but when she is doing interviews or at premieres...it looks like she has smoked a little too much???? She was just on Regis and Kelly and her eyes are little slits...what is she doing? Do you think it's in her movie contract that she must keep her eyes open when filming? hahahaha...ok my rant on her for now.

I saw this place on the food network, so would love to try it out.

Pj

It's a great place. We go to both the LA and LV locations. Actually, I hate to admit it, but we have a membership card so we get dollar credits when we go there. We have a special right now for $99 per couple and are going in LV in a couple of weeks. It's awesome!!

 

[taysmom]

They have kilt suits on the today show this am...$1200 OMG!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Look, there is Mickey on the next deck!!!

I know the bigger shot of it is clearer. That was my very first trip on the Magic, the same cruise we bought into DVC.
