Something About Nothing..........# 10

[macraven]

So we are back from our mini beach vacation as of last night. I think I have my DH convinced that we should look into buying a condo there in Sandestin. Told him we could rent it out when we were not using it to help pay the mortgage. Don't know anything about that kind of thing though, so need to research it.

It is the first step in my dastardly plan to move to Florida one day. (DH does not want to, I do. He thinks it is too hot in the summer. I should show him a picture of Bluers pool ).

I commented to him on the drive home how it was just not sad going home after a beach vacation like it is when leaving after a WDW/UO trip. Just doesn't tug at the heartstrings the same way. But I don't think he got it. Glad to have you guys to commiserate and obsess with.

glad to hear you made it back home safe and sound!
it will be nice to be able to sleep in your own bed again.

i hear ya about that.
when i take trips with Mr Mac, always look forward to returning back home.

when i hit orlando solo, a different story.

my parental units at one time had a place in hobbe sound and did that.
they had a real estate person (paid service) to handle their place each time it was rented out.
they stayed there from late dec to beginning of april each year.

some issues with renting it out would happen and they sold it not many years ago.

the phones open early morning.
set your alarm to wake up monday morning.

or if you do the book online, do it before you go to bed.


i don't book online.
i call.

 

[macraven]

i have had a busy day.
had errands to do and was online off and on.


i just got off the phone, again, with United.
last week, my flight to orlando changed.

had to call and have my seat secured again.
did the click for the change of time though.


yesterday, the flights changed again but for the return flight home.

did the change then and seat assigment but kept thinking i wasn't sure about it.


so, after 30 minutes with an agent this evening, changed that flight to where my transporation from the airport would work out.


with the merger of Continental and United, the fleet of craft is changing for ORD.
originally i had airbus, now the change of times are due to Boeing crafts.

when i booked, the rt with taxes was $218.
now they are $331.80.

glad there were no fees to do the changes.

in all the years i have used united, never had flight changes.

have done american and southwest some but i've been lucky on getting better fares with united.
i go with the company that doesn't have me spend my children's inheritance.

Changed my vacation days at work. Originally I was taking a personal day the Friday we leave, but changed that to be a vacation day and will return to work the Friday after. So that gives me 2 full days off work to recovery (and come here and post pics!).

Only 88 days to go!

 

[goNDmay9]

So excited to see everyone going to the Darkside!

andy, i am totally confused.


you are supposed to use those extra days to be on the vacation, not recover from it.

now what fun is that..........


but you do great pics and i'm going to be excited to see them when you post them.

Woot! Rainy Monday. Seems like I've been saying that alot. Woke up to some very noisy rain. We may have a rainy 4th. Oh well, at least I do not have to water my plants as much.

Hope those that are at and going to the Darkside have good weather.

Yeah Mac, I hate when the airline changes because they want to. Though, I have been flying SW lately, and never had changes yet. Am glad to see that booking far out has so far paid off.

Happy Canada Day to our Northern neighbors!


Time for my first cup.

 

[schumigirl]

Happy Canada day to all our friends over there

mac......what a carry on with your airline......but yep glad it didn`t cost you anything!! We had an email from Virgin Atlantic a few days ago to say there was a time change in our flight home.........I thought.....oh no......turns out we now leave 20 minutes later....not a massive change on a flight across the Atlantic...thank goodness.

Lynne......we have a lovely day today again, but rain is coming this way soon. We have been very spoiled with weather so far this spring/summer.....haven`t needed a jacket, even a light one for ages going out.

Sharky.......... Always good to get anything booked for a trip........enjoy the planning



Had a lovely day at the British Grand Prix yesterday. Weather was lovely but race was disappointing as our guy went out with gearbox trouble......gutted!!!! Lots of issues with exploding tyres.......not nice to watch. But glad we went, had an amazing time in the pit lane as my family member who works in F1 gets us in with a pitpass........fun day but we were shattered when we got home last night.

Hope everyone`s good

 

[macraven]

Happy Canada Day to our homies in the North..........!!

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Woohoo! I get the day off!

It's cloudy so far this Canada Day. I hope it clears up and I get some greatt fireworks.
