Okay.....this weather is really weird out here!!!!!!~ There have been tornados, a weather related train derailment!!!! CA is not suppose to get tornados......we don't have basements!!!!!!!!!

I'm starting to believe you!!!!

I'm going to take the peanut butter cookies that I'm eating up there tonight.. and see what the WII has to say!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Evening everyone!!!!

Heidi, I would say extra controllers...so everyone can play together! Charging bases for them...they come with the rechargable battery and base. Extra Nunchucks too..... the boys are telling me right now that thier favorite Wii game is Super Smash Brothers. They do play it A LOT!

As for luggage....we are being charged $20 for the first bag for EACH person...that's an extra $80 to the total. Then, if we were to choose, we could take 2 bags at $20 each or 3 bags for $140! Yes, they are charging $100 for the 3rd bag!!!! and yes, that's PER PERSON. So much for our really cheap flight! If we were staying in a condo with laundry, I could see being able to pack just a carryon...then hitting a store for all the toiletries. I have actually concidered seeing how much it would be to UPS our stuff to FL and then just having a carryon! It's going to be hard to pack light. I REALLY don't want to do wash while on the cruise, but it looks like we might be forced to!

Kristin, the boys want to know if you bought the mean version of WiiFit and not the nice version?? We were LOL at your comments! Mine has not said anything mean to me! Last night, Steve wanted me to show him some of the things. I was whining because i just wanted to go to bed...it was getting late!! Well, when I logged in it said, "Good Evening. It's getting late. Aren't you ready for bed?" We just burst out laughing! I told Steve, SEE!!! It knows me already!! I ended up staying up until 1130 and Steve stayed up a bit later. He said he quit when he was doing the yoga and he reached for the ceiling and hit his finger in the ceiling fan! LOL He's 5'10" and then standing on the board, that adds a few inches! He said the thought never even crossed his mind to watch for the fan!

oh gosh that is funny poor Steve!!!

I wish there was a way you could see how it treats me while I'm playing it. I swear it hates me...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! The hula hooping was FUN.. Bruce did well on the tight rope and loved the skijump too I've not tried either of them yet...

The step is my favorite and the running too!!!!!!!!

Does Allegiant Air have all of these fees too now???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is only a matter of time till they all do!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????

I haven't tried the running yet. I am actually afraid to! With my foot problems, I am afraid it will aggrivate it...but it's in the house, in place, I dunno...I might try it!

Allegiant Charges for EVERYTHING. $20/bag, $15 if you want to pick your seats (which we didn't! I don't care where I sit, just get me there!), $2 for water onboard, gov't taxes, 9/11 fees, yadda yadda yadda. Our initial flight price was $78 each way....$156 roundtrip...so nearly $50 in fees...and $20 of that was a suitcase.

Guess it is a good thing we are driving! LOL! I realize a lot of our gear is medical, but I can just imagine the looks people would be giving us as we piled on to a plane with ... 6 carry-ons! NOT including a backpack with reading material and games for the flight...

well it would cost you a fortune if you did fly LOL

Kristin, have you ever thought about getting an Owner Locker? Seems like it might be the way of the future. Especially for those that own DVC and travel down a few times a year. I just haven't looked into how much it would be. Of course, with the girls growing, you would probably still have to bring clothes for them each time, but at this point, you could probably carryon most of that.....just leave the adult clothing and all the extra stuff there! Something to think about!

those seems like a great idea, especially if you go in on it with another family!

Michele,

I have thought about the Owner's Locker, but with our friends living down there we are going to kind of use them as our own "Owner's Locker." If they say they do notwant to store it anymore then I will definately get an Owner's Locker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know...I'm so happy about that!!!!!!!!
