BTW...just a note to those who I might got hooked on Farm Town on Facebook.

Sorry.

Been watching season 2 of the X-Files today. And have also finished 3 out of 5 Saw movies. The 3rd one (or at least the Director's Cut of the 3rd one) is my favorite so far. Only 2 more, then to finish the Chucky movies.

Afternoon all ...

Well, our October flight to Orlando has changed yet again ... this change makes it 3 times in less than a month. We have less than 2 months before our flight - any bets on how many more times they'll change it before we leave???

Well, you'll all be glad to know that I survived the triathlon! (No, that's not what I look like now though!).

I did fine on the swim and it was warm enough to not even bother with a wetsuit. Surprisingly (to me), I had no trouble on the bike (although lots of people passed me, which was not surprising). But I didn't have to stop at all and felt fine.

The run was a whole different story. I was not expecting 3 miles to be a challenge, but it was SO hot and muggy (when we got in the car my phone said 88 with a heat index of 94). I know - normal for many of you, but two days ago here the high was below 70 so I am NOT used to that. I ended up walking about half of it, but to be honest, I'd say looking around at any given time, about half the people were walking. I could feel my face just burning (I'd had my sunscreen stick on the bike and never bothered using it). Ended up taking off my t-shirt (which I needed to anyways in the heat) and running in my aerobic top/bra type thing. Then wrapped the t-shirt over my forehead to make a turban/visor. I didn't realize you could wear a hat for the run and had one at my bike - wish I'd known.

But I'm still alive! Of course both Royce and Stephen both finished well ahead of me, but when I passed each of them (going back in the opposite direction) on the run, saw them both walking too. Royce said the same thing - he was amazed how easy the bike was but just shocked that he simply couldn't do the run. I really think next time we'll consider doing the Olympic (full triathlon) but doing the relay. I could easily swim 3 times what I did today if I didn't have to bike and run. Royce could bike and Stephen could do the run. Sounds much more fun!

But we did it. Had "some" fun and have the t-shirt to show for it! I'd told mom while I was home how much I was NOT looking forward to doing the triathlon and that my husband was basically coercing us all into doing it. She said that was one good thing she could say about my dad - that there was basically zero chance that any time in this lifetime he would ever say "Hey, let's do a triathlon!"

bonny - bleech on fight changes, r u flying AT? they r the worst out of pittsburgh for that crap

I was wondering the same thing. We're flying Air Tran, and in the first month I booked it (back in March), they changed our flights 3 different times. Coming back stayed close at least, but going out changed significantly. But there was nothing better to even call them about. However, since then (knock on wood), it hasn't changed at all. Hoping it stays that way for the last two weeks!

I'd love to go out and soak in the hot tub (my legs are just "tired"), but I think it's about a thousand percent humidity out there. Yes, we broke down and turned our air conditioner on for the second time this summer so that'll give you an idea how hot it is! (The first was during those record upper 90's days in late June).

i hate when the airlines change the flights.

so far, i have had mine changed twice.

i wanted to switch to a different flight but it would cost $150 for one change.

i am 5 minutes short of it being a free change.
if my flight is changed more than 3 hours, i can switch for free.


ok, i bet you have at least two more changes before you leave bonny.
what do i win if i am right?

if you ever go to the site that is all about flying and the airlines, you'll read bad stories about AirTran.

even on the dis transportation boards, posters complain about that airline.

i haven't used them so i don't have any idea if they are lousy or great.
i just read all the boards and their threads when i can't sleep at night.

Well...I guess I'm going to watch television for a while and then head to bed. I'm kinda tired of Farm Town for today...but there's always tomorrow.

Have a good evening!

Marci - yes, congrats on completing the race!!!

Nope, Northwest ... seems since they merged with Delta they've been changing flight times more often! Thank goodness it was only a 5 min time change leaving here (15 min earlier on the flight home) - last time they changed flights (plane numbers) and I had to re-pick our seats

ok, i bet you have at least two more changes before you leave bonny.

hmmm ... we'll see what I can dig up for ya (I'll bring it with me)

Mac - we flew Air Tran on our last trip to WDW and had a great experience with them. But we did book last minute after Midwest cancelled our flights on us and would only guarantee 4 (of the 5) of us could be rebooked on another flight. So maybe it was late enough that we didn't deal with the times changing issue.

Oh, and I thought of one more thing I wanted to add from this morning. My number one tip for those of you considering doing a triathlon in the future. Yep, you'll never guess this one. When you get there in the dark at 5:45 and park your car on a random side street because there are 1000 other families there for the event, REMEMBER where you parked the car! Nothing is less fun than riding around on your bike, carrying all your gear, while looking desperately for your car when you are already exhausted! Ask me how I know!

How do you know Marcie ???

 

[marciemi]

Yeah, uh, we had a "friend" with that problem Dawnna!

I was annoyed with Royce because he was the driver, darn it! Meanwhile Stephen was no help because he couldn't even remember what car we'd arrived in!

Okay, I owe one more email and then I'm going to bed for some well-deserved sleep!

I think mine has changed at least 4 maybe 5. The only thing that hasn't changed is the time I leave Dallas, which is 7:45. The frist was that I was arriving earlier in Orlando, not a problem really. Then I think they changed the flight numbers. Then I was leaving Orlando later. Then they added a stop to my non-stop flight (and don't even have any nonstops anymore for the Monday I leave). Then they changed the flight numbers again (which Priceline both emailed and called me. Why? I don't know). In short, I feel your pain, BonBon!!

Good morning all and a Happy Monday!
