Something About Nothing..........# 9

[EPRV We love Disney]

Poking my head in to say "Hi" after a loooong absence.

Spent the last couple of weeks lurking about and catching up on all the changes! WWOHP! Wow!

Can't believe how much I've missed these boards. Glad to see you're all still here.

And... a big shout out to Mac!

working @ a B&M is different if you're salary (the TAs working even @ AAA in these parts are all subcontractors so they must meet the above minimum commision requirements)

It's quite the nice job perc for you!!! So do you have a 'real' IATAN card you can produce @ checkin? if so, directly pass go & start booking those heavily TA-discounted U onsite hotel rooms If not, whine until they give you one.

no daggers thrown ur way, just know of people who have gotten scammed by paying a hefty fee for what they thought was an IATAN or CLIA card on the internet & then found out it was worthless when the providers wouldn't honor it.

No worries. It is a real IATA card, straight from IATAN's website. And I already book a room at RPR! I considered HRH just cause I've wanted to, but RPR was what was in the budget this trip.

yay andy--just being on these boards IMHO gives you a heads up to most agents who don't know a thing about the parks (but they're experts, right?) Good luck

I know! I keep interrupting our travel agent when she's doing a Disney World sale since she's never been.

Hello all!

Well I am on my way to the Motherland!

Well, that is, I was.....a hose broke in the car and we are stuck in Maryland!!

Luckily, we got to a Walmart and met a gentleman whose son is a mechanic. The son came over and checked out the car. He is going to get us the parts we need and fix the car tomorrow. Luckily, there were many hotels and that's where we are...a Holiday Inn Express.

Wish us luck for tomorrow!

Not I said the little one. However I would like to swap allergies!
It's been highs in ATLEAST the high 70s since groundhog day and my allergies are going nuts! They usually don't get this bad til summer... but apparently the plants missed the same memo as the weather and decided its summer in April. What a glorious Summer this year will bring. *has a heat stroke*

Highs around 80, breezy.. but humid here..

On tap today- Training clients, boiling some crawfish, enjoying the new TV... have a great day everyone...

 

[ky07]

weather had been in th 70s here but dropped back down in the 50s and raining
tried mowing my back yard the other day and thats all I got done due to my legs giving out on me and what only took me a half hour took 2 hours to do

Today is opening day for our local Six Flags but we are going to hold off until tomorrow. Today it's overcast, in the mid 40's with 30 mph wind gusts. Tomorrow is supposed to be partly sunny and in the lower 70's. I think we can wait a day.

Today's weather won't stop me from grilling though. I currently have some chicken legs marinating in Walkerswood Jerk Paste to grill up tonight. I'm also making Jamaican Rice n Peas and grilling up fresh sliced pineapple dusted with some Pineapple Head by Dizzy Pig.

Just in cae you want the details, Minnie....here they are

MH.........You don`t do Bed, Breakfast and Dinner do ya!!!!! No??? Maybe something to consider........we`d book to stay That sound delicious!!



We were in the 60s today. Good day for

Won`t be around these parts for a week...........going to visit my mum in Scotland for a wee visit. All on my own. Tom is staying home with Kyle as he is studying for exams coming up after the Easter break. Bless him, he`s already been off a week and is constantly studying or revising............I even told him last week to have a break and get on his PS3...........not a normal thing for a parent to say I know, but you can sometime work too hard!!!

Anyhoo..........I`m all packed so I can set off early tomorrow when Tom comes in off of nightshift. It`s about a 4-5 hour drive depending on traffic.

And no internet for a week I`m not looking forward to that. But I got a few visits with friends planned and a couple of family occasions to attend, plus I get to spend time with my mum. I haven`t seen her since christmas.

So have a good week everyone, be back Saturday to catch up what I missed
