That sounds heavenly.I need a flight like that! Did it make it hard to fly "regular" airlines again?!
After flying first class for many years, you can not even compare the first class of the 1960's through middle 80's to first class now on most airlines. I have tons of miles so I always upgrade my coach tickets to first class. Since I fly either United or Southwest, I go from cattle call to free drinks.
It's almost 1:30am here...a little late....but I took a nap earlier in the evening. So I'm good to go for a little while longer.
Such great news for you today....It was all that positive PD!
In forclosure auctions, if the 1st goes to auction, the 2nd just disappears. The same bank owns both and they don't want to lose the 150,000 they have out there in the 2nd so they will just keep trying. We know most people who go to these auctions and they have all told us they won't bid on it. They know we want this one as a residence and not a "flip" house. So, just a few more months and we will finally have an answer one way or another....I am hoping for the best answer....we got the house!Are you talking about the DCL shows? My cable company took The Travel Channel away last month.

We upgrade as often as we can, but it doesn't always happen
Pixie Dust works wonders! The bank has decided to basically run the 2nd at auction every week until June 29
Kaylee, I drink their White Star champagne, it's my favorite...at least until Karen introduces me to something better at our champagne girls tasting.
I can't wait to go to the wine tastings on the cruise! And of course, our Champagne Girls event (or events?!)Classes start May 7th. I was turned down for every type of loan, every place I tried, and had just resigned myself to the fact that my only option would be to take another semester off, work more, cancel the November cruise with Tyler, and save money to be able to return to school. Then something strange happened. I received a letter in the mail a few days ago from the lender where my Federal student loans come from, telling me that my loan has been processed and will be disbursed 4/26/07 and 9/6/07. HUH?!I was very confused, but decided I should trust that letter because they make the decision, since they're the ones giving me the money, not the school. But I was still hesitant to get my hopes up. Then 2 days later, I received a letter from school telling me basically the same thing, and the info is also showing up on my account online at school.
I have no idea what happened. I'm ticked off about the stress school put me through, worrying about how to come up with that much money, etc., but my relief definitely outweighs my irritation. I've heard other students talk about how they've also had similar experiences where it seems different people at school will give different answers and nobody really seems to know what's going on.
But for whatever reason, it worked out!
Time passes so quickly, your day is right around the corner and I believe if it's meant to be it will happen because I always believe that things happen for a reason....I LOVE John Lennon and to quote him in one of my favorite songs...."Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." It's always so true. You have to make plans, but the eventual outcome is always way better than you imagined.
boo hiss

You will appreciate this story. The first time we flew Southwest with youngest DD, she turned to me and said, why are we going to the back of the plane?
As for smooshed, when my DH's father passed away suddenly, we had to catch a flight to Ohio. We were able to get great seats going to Ohio but on the way home we had to fly from Cleveland to Chicago to make a connection.
I was stuck in between two very large Mafia looking men who had the arm rests up. I could not even get more than my bottom cheek on the seat and could not even buckle the seat belt. They were so threatening looking that the flight attendent didn't even hassle me about not buckling my seat belt. Luckily, it was only a half hour flight!!
Pixie Dust request for tomorrow.......(sorry it is a bit long)
DH is a real estate investor (when he isn't being the full time Dad)...we have been looking for a good house to move to but one that is in DD's home school area. She is actually on a waiver right now and there is a good chance that DD2 (starting K in fall) won't get in unless we get into that area because the school is so full. We have fallen in love with a house that was on the market in 9/06. We placed several offers but always got a no from the owners. The house has since gone into foreclosure (it is a disaster now...no fixtures, no toilets, walls half painted etc) and we tried to get them to sell it to us again, but still no luck. We have been dealing with this for 6 months now. Well, tomorrow the 2nd loan goes up for auction. We don't want to buy it because the cost for the 2nd and the 1st are more than the house is worth, but we hope no one else will buy it either. Ok, that was a really long story to explain that we need lots of good thoughts and pixie dust tomorrow that no one bids on the 2nd. If that is the case, then when the 1st comes up for auction on June 29, we can bid there and hopefully get the house! If someone does get it tomorrow, we know it wasn't meant to be but I will be so
Thanks everyone......
Sounds like a great flight
I remember flying once when I was 7 or 8. My mom put me on the plane and I was flying down to Sarasota to see my grandmother and (of course) go to WDW. Somehow I got placed in a middle seat in the smoking section
We had fun tonight just ordering glasses of different wines. We usually get a bottle or so, but for some reason we decided to sample different kinds. Oh, there were some good ones. The wine list here was amazing

Yes, that is where I found it. Unfortunately we don't have a Nordstrom's but I did find one in a mall I like. That will just give me an excuse to go there. There is also one in The Grove and I have not been there yet. My DD wants to do The American Girl store there so I may just do that this summer.
ah foreclosures.....I worked with a hard money lender/broker for a few years learned all about 'em & bankruptcy, very interesting from the lender side. As for the market here in Bay Area, specially Santa Clara County, can't make money on a foreclosure anymore. Used to be able to get some really good deals...
AG did someone say AG???? We're on it!!! I was thinking, hmmmm seems like it might be time for an AG girls weekend soon.
Diamonds...a girls best friend...
I think I might actually have to revive my girls after they get over the initial shock of walking into an AG store. I took pictures of the one in NYC but they really have no idea how amazing it is.
What a nightmare!!! We don't fly often enough to have horror stories. DH DEPLORES flying...it's a control issue, he wants to be at the wheel....so he actually gets white knuckled and loses his cookies, etc., so we mostly drive...up and down the east coast heading to WDW and DCL.DH drives from Poconos in PA to Jacksonville, FL in 12 to 14 hours. We leave around midnight and check into a hotel in Jacksonville at 3pm. We usually go to Cocoa Beach next, then DCL, then World, then home.
This cruise will be very different coz we're flying home from LA. DH is gonna need drugs!
Yup, DH is gone on business and I get to DIS without the "are you REALLY on the boards again?!" look 
I had better head to bed.
We have made some money on "flipping" foreclosures and gotten burned on some. Right now, the market here is the Seattle area is pretty low, so it is not the right time to try and flip.
AG.....I would love to do a girl's weekend, but alas, it is too far away
