Hello my lovelies
. Greetings from Pittsburgh where I am enjoying the last gasps of summer. Hit 90 degrees here today, that is quite rare for this time of year. Good warm up for Orlando’s expected sweltering weather. So glad I cajoled the mr into not shutting down the pool as most did on our block hehehehe
My son is hanging in there, it appears as though it will wind up being a bit of a long haul for him as in it will get worse before it gets better. Can’t see out of the eye that had surgery. Cloudy now, told it may go completely white before it starts to heal & could take up to a year for optimal results. Such is life, you gotta roll with it. He’s doing remarkably well dealing with it, factoring in he share my missing patience gene.
Another hot day in the 90’s here
Waiting until tonight to shop for shoes
for the trip? You are a brave woman to wear an ‘unbroken in’ pair
Monday will start laying everything out I want to pack. Will use basement family room so dogs can’t see! They don’t go downstairs. They know what it means when suitcases come out!
Oh, I do know. That hairy eye mine cast is pitiful
we're bringing reusable metal straws and collapsible water bottles this go-round.
I’ve discovered that paper straws are useless. Refuse to carry metal ones on principal. Do have a box of bendy, as in you can tie them in a pretzel if you wanted to, straws. May just stuff a few in my fanny pack & call it a day.
Keisha, hope boy's surgery is a success, and always good news, a win of championship, is good medicine.
Thank you, it was just what he did need to get thru that first week.
Yay! Since Disney lifted all of the block out dates for September I'm getting to go to GE after all! And I found an opening at Oga's so I'm like super excited right now
Enjoyed DL’s offering. Spent hours just ambling around & watching the characters do their ‘mingling’.
Beware the foam on the drink at Olga’s. It’s bitter citrus, you lips will tingle for some time. Wouldn’t order that one again.
Oh no! What happened with your bill. Guess you weren’t able to resolve the issue. Hopefully cc company can. I think I’d be putting a review in on Trip Advisor!
I’m taking the red eye to MCO on Sunday. Hope I’ll be able to sleep some. I’ll see how it goes. The thing is it gives us a whole first day, where taking the morning flight over doesn’t get us to MCO until late afternoon around 5ish. So we loose most of the day. Hope it’s not too brutal.
At this point they conceded that I was overcharged $700 at check out. Combination of being upcharged for non existent suite and double billed on the pricey hotel taxes in CA. Still don’t see a single credit posted on my card. I know it will all sort out in the end but can’t help but think what if someone had used a debit card and needed that cash to pay their bills, etc. when they returned home. Worse, yet, didn’t have the funds to cover it.
I am doing everything that I can to make sure we can at least get a few hours of sleep on the plane this time. Last year we were absolutely miserable on this same flight, and we had paid more for the premium seats on the plane. Sooooo not worth it on the red eye. I looked it up and we've been assigned seats already, and there is no one in the aisle seat in our row, hopefully it stays that way. I bought this pillow that kind of looks like a sling that wraps around the headrest, and you kind of hug it. I also bought this thing that looks like a sling for your feet, you wrap it around the tray table in front of you. We should be fairly easy to spot on the plane, LOL!
Agree, red eye flights stink. Well, unless i had one of those seats that converted to bed
I’m all about comfort, trying to picture that sling type thing but failing lol
With that, to ensure Keisha knows what day it is:
- oh indeed.
aaaaah. Wanted to mention I saw his ‘enclave’ in hollywood. not sure if he’s in official bankruptcy yet, but still owns multiple properties that span several blocks. All lovely, spanish style. Many occupied by extended family. Did see his auntie driving an old Mercedes, glaring at us and tour guide lol
I have used SW the first year I moved to GA but prices for the dates I had were not dirt cheap.
They were at the same level of United and Delta 4 years ago.
So I switched to Delta and started earning more perks as my miles went up in my account.
Never had a notice before like I received this morning.
I don't leave until the end of this month so I have plenty of time to get more info on the notice.
Did look and see there are lots of seats still available on the route I am taking on my date.
But you probably are correct that it was a general emailing to all flyers on Delta
Could’ve been one that was in connection with construction at MSP that mistakenly went out to mass mailing.
I benefited while I was away. Received odd email from SWA indicating I had a flight time change on November flight. It indicated i had a few days to make changes if I didn’t accept the ‘new’ flight.
‘New flight’ was exact same time as old one ??? but upon 2nd look, realized it was upon one of the planes they are reintroducing back into the fleet after the fix. Not sure how I feel about flying those planes.
I jumped to grab the 2nd nonstop out that am. Thanksgiving weekend, prices thru the roof on release day. i had settled for late flight out on Friday night initially. She shoots & scores
I never bother checking the weather before we go. However, a post in the
HHN thread got me worried, so I took a look. I shouldn’t have. I knew better. Ugh, next week isn’t looking good. I expect the once a day downpour in the afternoon. That I can deal with. I’m worried about all day, every day rain and thunderstorms that take rides down. In all
of our trips, that has only happened to us once. I’d prefer to not do it again.
There is a system sitting over the Bahamas that will likely turn into Tropical Storm Humberto. The main system will skirt south of Orlando, but Orlando will likely get rain, wind and thunderstorms. By the time we arrive, it will be on the tail end, but Monday has the potential to be all day rain. Now, mostly, I’m worried about our flight being delayed.
Latest prediction indicates skies starting to clear to partial sunshine Monday afternoon. Good luck.
doing a quick stop in!!!
It’s now sept 13 ...
I hopeTom spoils you rotten
After reading Crostofer’s post yesterday I went on Accuweather again to see if forecasts changed. Aside from spotty rain our arrival day I saw nothing out of the ordinary for Sept weather in Orlando. I’m so confused.
eek! The weather has gone downhill here too. One day we’re enjoying the patio and bbqing, the next it’s rain and cooler.
