I remember that too!

I much prefer Frontier to SW. TV screens for every seat, very nice and comfortable. I flew then to and from LA this last fall. We are flying them out of SNA to get back home.

TV is the deciding factor for me - makes the flight go so much faster!

Bobby went to Danville, Indiana to see the MAYBERRY CAFE.

He posed with friends he met there.

AND wanted his picture taken with Barney's police car.
(Bobby is a ham!! He loves to be photographed and the camera loves him. )

The pictures are cracking me up too Jan!

I don't really want to burst your bubble or stomp on your excitement but I feel the need to tell you something. I did this excursion when I went to Aruba and the diesel smell down below was so bad that I was glad it was a semi-submarine. It never fully submerged so I was able to spend most of the time outside.

If you remember the submarines at WDW or DL, that is all these things were. It is not much different than a glass bottom boat except you are looking out little portholes instead of the bottom of the boat.

This may be exactly what you are looking for but it was not at all what I was expecting. JMHO - YMMV*.

Oh my, thank you for the input! No, I don't think that's what we'd like to do, especially for all that money. And since you did the same excursion I would have say that's all the word I need!!! Hmmm, well, now we'll have to hash this over again and see whether the kids will want to do the Jeep thing or something else. And here I thought we were all settle! HA HA!

I just bought our airline tickets for San Diego to Orlando - we're on Frontier.

Now I just have to reserve a car.


(Oh and pay off the cruise )

V-assuming there's room, what are the details on the Jeep in Aruba (now that it appears the semi-sub isn't such a great ride after all).

Thanks!

Someone asked about what port we're coming into, not sure if it was answered...it's the Port of San Pedro.

 

[woody73]

. . . I would say that we should probably "define" the group at the 90 day final payment date for anything that requires planning to participate. People who come on after that can participate in as much as is possible, but some things will be impossible - especially if things are ordered for the group.

Maybe this group can do it better, by listing the things we have already planned and detailed that are "closed out" after the 90 day final payment date, but other things that anyone can participate in after that time.

Not a perfect answer, but personally, I would like to include as many people as possible, and would only exclude new people from things that are impossible to change. Hopefully it would not get too unwieldy.

On our last cruise, we announced that certain activities would be open only to those who signed up. This led many of the lurkers -- who never posted -- to come out of the woodwork.

John the beard makes him look so much older, compared to the photos from when he visited England this summer, very doctor like.

Besides, John...it could be a whole lot worse.

I believe it's actual name is the Port of Los Angeles. portoflosangeles

Woody,

Those desserts look wonderful.

I am a big berry/fruit fan, and they have some wonderful desserts in that area.

Hello everyone. Once again, I had a crazy week. I apologize for my missing everything. My washing machine broke, and then my basement flooded. 2 seperate things. The walls are down in our basement now and the carpet is being taken away with the salvageable furniture tommorow. The good news is my washing machine was fixed after a week waiting for parts and I think I may have actually caught up on the laundry.

My mom took home a bunch of the towels we used during the flood so luckily they were not sitting in water for a week, but I had no idea how much I would miss a stupid washing machine.

DD is much better. She still has the marks under her arm, but they seem to be getting better so that is also good. And wow, Feburary 10th, really?

I am really going to try to keep up, but DD has the Utah Winter games in 1 1/2 week, so it may take me a sec to catch up.

Lisa--

How far is San Diego from the Port in LA??? Do you know of any transportation companies that would bring you from the port to the San Diego Airport?? I checked Supershuttle and they don't go there.

I can get much cheaper airfare out of SD over LAX or even SNA.

Oh Kim so sorry that happened but glad it got fixed and getting back to normal!

Glad your DD is getting better!

 

[LivingtheWDWdream]

UGH its SNOWING here we are supposed to be getting 10-15 inches YUCK!

Looks like I won't be going out tomorrow for a while!

I got some new clothes for the cruise Saturday in the Mail I got it from Lanebryant online and the most expensive thing i bought was $11. All summer pants!

I think it is about 2 hours. Though with So Cal traffic it could be 4!

Sorry no help on shuttles as we never fly out of LAX. We have friends going on the cruise now too and their son is going to pick us up at the port on Sunday to take us back to San Diego.

If flights are much cheaper maybe take a shuttle flight from LAX to SD. One of my co-workers does this sometimes and I think she said the flight between is around $59. She only flys United so I think this is their price.
