Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Ah Mac, good to see ya! One time I post like a night owl, and nada response. Hope all is well down your way.

And a wahoo, more future flight funds added because of price drop for August airfare, and nice amount of points back for price drop of October airfare. Now, to only get the rental car rates down for both trips.

If any of youse has a snorer in the house, especially one you sleep with, you would understand.....

 

[macraven]

I'm using Delta for this trip.
The rates were great when I booked but that has been months back.
I almost booked the fall trip last year with them but waited.

Rates were super better then but I did not have my plans all laid out until December.

Had booked the UO hotel last year for this year but not the Disney hotel.

I did see a rate drop 23 hours after I booked with Delta.
Called them and they adjusted my rate as they give 24 hours for changes allowed for free.
Got even a better rate then.


I like having the free first luggage, assigned seats and priority boarding with Delta set up

Ive been watching SW rates and they are higher than my Delta set up

I feel your pain- Joe is a snorer! We have a sound machine in our room- helps a little to have the fan sound! He's used to getting poked and pushed around a lot at night! He's accused me of snoring, too! But I deny it! I do know that I have bad dreams and wake up screaming at times!

 

[macraven]

You probably wake up screaming if he is snoring and think it is the chainsaw wolf gang at hhn coming at you.....

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I have a snorer also, pushes him over if I hear it. I am used to waking up, then going back to sleep. He's a better sleeper then me.

 

[Lynne G]

And woot for your Delta flights Mac. Around here, it's SW or American (was US Air), and they always seem more expensive than SW. I keep looking though, as American does have more direct flights then SW. But, since I have been using SW for years now, had a nice amount to finally use points to book round trip. Kids are almost there too, so cheap flights, as still have to pay some taxes.

Disney hotel booked, and off site booked for Dark Side. Oh well, I tried a year out, and could not get a price I was willing to pay for this year. I booked for next year, got my credit card saying paid first night, but no confirmation from RP, even though I had did the reservation online. I will have to give them a call. Yeah, I am finally ready to see the Dark Side every October, even if I had to book off site this year. Did get my August one confirmed with Porto, and billed for the first night for that one too. Getting excited, 6 weeks from tonight, we'll be in Orlando. That countdown is slowly commencing.

It can get tough!!! But we love them really.......



Ended up round at a friends house for a while.......Mac, she’s the one with the vegan sister that her and I just don’t see eye to eye with each other........that’s the polite way of putting it..... and she was visiting today too.......anyway my friend mentioned we were going back again to Orlando and how many times we were going back........all I’ll say is jealousy is a terrible scourge I’ll never understand thankfully......even my friend admonished her.........I just ignore her and laugh........but heyho......I’ll take my life over anyone’s anyday!

Anyway, I went round as my friend has a new puppy........oh my goodness how cute is this little thing!!! She has a bichon frise already that’s only young, but now has this little golden lab.......beautiful!!! I have even volunteered to walk her yes, she is that cute.......she came up and sat on me and just kinda snuggled in........I laughed out loud when my friend told me the puppy wouldn’t do that with her sister.........lol.......

We do have beautiful beaches and beautiful countryside here, so I’m sure I’m going to volunteer more than a few times to take this dog for walks........

We have sunshine........it’s not going to last though........back to dull tomorrow........

 

[pattyw]

So, I had a very productive lunch break today. More good news on our Ft. Lauderdale trip with a diversion to Orlando for a couple of days. We decided to fly in Friday evening. SW doesn't have any nonstop evening flights that day, but I found a Tampa flight that did- didn't want to take a day off from work. We've flown into Tampa before and don't mind the longer commute to Orlando. So, we'll arrive in Tampa at 7:45pm and drive to Universal.

I already made a reservation for Saturday night at HRH. We're a member of Hard Rock rewards so I called to see if we could redeem our free night for Friday. It was available!! We will have to change rooms as the free night does not include club level. When we've redeemed in the past, they have allowed us to upgrade to club for a fee. But, because we're arriving so late, I don't want to pay the fee so I'm not going to ask.
Plus, I can do necessary research! We've never stayed in a regular room nor a suite. Friday we have a garden view room with our free night and Saturday we have a club king suite. So excited!!

 

[Lynne G]

Woot! Awesome plan Patty. And I don't think the drive from Tampa is that bad. Particularly since you will arrive after most rush hour times. Highway most of the time, and quick if not as much traffic. Have drove back and forth to BGT several times, as no real good hotels around there, and well, only about an hour or so drive each way.

Lunch was pizza and cake, oh yeah, kids, if you are hungry, make your own dinner.

 

[Monykalyn]

Ignore the kids head-too lazy to stand up- afternoon at pool. Only son and I are here as the others passed out/fell asleep as soon a son we got in from lunch. I did make them get up at 8 to get to Studios early. Met oldest for lunch before she hadn't to work tonight. Some shopping and rest of afternoon off to relax, boy is bugging me to go down slide now.

Got up to 87 degrees F here in Wisconsin.

Down right hot for Wisconsin lol

Morning Sans family

I took hubby to French Lick Indiana for a overnight on Sunday. It was a gorgeous day for a drive. We stayed at the French Lick Resort. It is a beautiful historical Resort that was refurbished as was the West Baden Resort down the road a number of years ago.

Here are some pics from my phone.

gorgeous resort

I had to come up to office to the desktop. There is still a glitch with mobile devices on disboards. This has been going on now for a few weeks. I think it has to do with the adds that are loading at the bottom of the pages.

Yep keeps losing stuff

I relate as well

We get that about coming to Orlando so much this last year too- but who cares. We enjoy it

Happy Tuesday y'all

Got to see a sneak preview of Hereditary last night. It was terrifying and actually moving at some points as well. Highly recommended

I resemble that remark. One advantage to having a bad back is sleeping in the living room with my little "nest" of essentials around me. A few more months of this luxury.

 

[keishashadow]

Only into the mid 60’s today, had to dig for a hoodie, brrr

.

Tink and Keisha..

Did you watch Fear the dead?

I thought it was a good episode tonight!

No, it was grrrrreat! So glad i was mistaken and there’s one more before break - woot!

Thank you all <3

We are finally getting some summer here in Iceland. That mean that today we had 12° C (about 54 F) so the kids at the kindergarten where I work all went outside in just shirts. Thats way better tho then the wind and rain, and occasional snow, we have been having for the last couple of weeks.

Schumigirl you should definitely visit Iceland someday. I would recommend either in the middle of summer, late June, July or August to enjoy the 24/7 sun or middle of winter to get the total darkness and the northern lights.

You do have an adorable lil hobbit, with perfect feet

From my market PIT, there is a bit of a price war among 2 carriers that connect into Reykjavik. Helped one of DSs friends plan a trip to England last year. Found her a September flight for $48 USD one way to meet her online boyfriend for first time (actually went well, she’s going back this fall too). Coming back was closer to $200 but a steal.

It was so nice sitting on the porch rocking in the chairs enjoying the lovely weather. He really enjoyed it.
He is doing great in Cardiac Rehab.

Agavegirl1 I’am praying all goes well with your surgery and you will be on the mend soon and planning a vacation after you are all recovered.

Mikkimus congratulations on your wedding and your little boy is the cutest little hobbit ever.

You had me at gilded! Beautiful and serene, perfect place to catch your breath and enjoy the moment.

I will bite though, what’s with the name of that town lol?

Hmmph, i sleep with one, me. Wake myself up several times a night, a very good thing as it indicates i’m still alive for better or worse lol

Sounds like you have a new friend! He or she will enjoy those walks for sure!

Yep- I like when we've arrived there in the morning so we could have lunch on the beach before driving to Orlando!

boy is bugging me to go down slide now.

Ok- how was it??

We get that about coming to Orlando so much this last year too- but who cares. We enjoy it

Same here! Others don't understand our love for Orlando- but we are the go to people for vacation advice!

I don't think I'd make it past terrifying to moving!

Pretty soon you'll feel so much better!

news is boring, so time for bed for me. Noisy eating DH, so up to bed in need.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. I meant to come back earlier today, but I was actually very busy at work for a change. I had to deal with an insurance issue today. (Yay, my favorite thing.) I discovered that a client’s insurance had terminated at the end of last year, but we have been sending claims all year long. This should have been caught back in January when the first claim of the year was denied. The person who inputs the claim checks didn’t read the EOBs (explanation of benefits). He had been processing the claims as “applied to deductible” when they had actually been denied due to termination of the policy. I contacted the client who contacted her HR department and found out that the policy number had been changed. I don’t know how she missed getting the information. Thankfully I was able to reprocess all of the claims (17 total)with the correct policy number.

I ended up staying a little later at work than usual. After work I took B to her music lessons and then we got Chinese food for supper. After supper we decided to go walking. I really need to start gettting some kind of exercise. We only walked for 30 minutes. I didn’t want to overdo it on the first day.

I took hubby to French Lick Indiana for a overnight on Sunday. It was a gorgeous day for a drive. We stayed at the French Lick Resort. It is a beautiful historical Resort that was refurbished as was the West Baden Resort down the road a number of years ago.

Beautiful! I love that big porch.

Dh is a snorer, but so am I. We both have sleep apnea.

I do know that I have bad dreams and wake up screaming at times!

This happens with dh from time to time. It was really bad when we first got married. He used to scare me when he woke up screaming. He never can remember what he was dreaming though.

Yeah, I have a snorer also, pushes him over if I hear it. I am used to waking up, then going back to sleep. He's a better sleeper then me.

If I wake up during the night it tasks me forever to get back to sleep. Dh can go back to sleep so quickly. I tease him that he is part cat.

Anyway, I went round as my friend has a new puppy........oh my goodness how cute is this little thing!!! She has a bichon frise already that’s only young, but now has this little golden lab.......beautiful!!! I have even volunteered to walk her yes, she is that cute.......she came up and sat on me and just kinda snuggled in........I laughed out loud when my friend told me the puppy wouldn’t do that with her sister.........lol.......

Aww...you have a new friend. Just before dh and I got married we visited some friends of his mother. Their dog jumped right into my lap. They said that she never did that with strangers. I guess I was okay to marry since the dog liked me.

Guess I should get some sleep now. See y’all in the morning.
