Janet... for Jimmy. And I hope you don't get it.

Me too! I have to go to work tomorrow. Jim is going to take tomorrow and Thursday off and then I'll take Friday.

 

[Muffinygood]

Poor Jimmy.

JO: I didn't feed Bob pancakes with apples. He's in California this week. Though cooked ones do not bother him at all. It's just raw. Congrats on your medal! I'm so proud of you.

I have to go do some laundry even though I feel terrible. We are running out of socks and undies.
Take care, Fockers.

Whoohoooty! No idea about the car though. I hope Jimmy feels better soon.

Janet- I get e-mails all the time from Hotwire for car rentals. I've used them 3 times hotels, but I haven't for car rental.
I can forward some e-mails to you if you go to the site and it doesn't look very good. I would save a trip to Florida and they should send you e-mails weekely with deals.

Mel- Feel better.

I'm packing. This is starting to feel real...

Awwww If I lived closer I'd come over and help

That's sweet. All the e-mails are offers for Dallas car rentals, since that's where our trips have been to. I would go to the site and research the trip, then save a trip to Florida in your stuff. You'll get Florida offers that way.

This is what I have done in the past....
UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME CREDIT CARD POINTS TO PAY FOR CAR RENTAL

I have used Cheap Tickets to find out Which car company's THEY SAY is cheapest..

I Then go Directly to their site.. usually find it cheaper.. and Majority of the time it has been "Thrifty" than was cheaper.
Unless you book a car with a Credit Card reservation ( at least with thrifty) you can always cancel and rebook when the rates get cheaper.. always jockeying down.

Last year we began with a Car for nearly 300.00 for 9 days.. by the time our vacation rolled around Taxes and fees included we got a Full size for 9 days for 153.00.

Or you can always potluck Hot wire or Price line.

I was thinking priceline name your own price, but I have never used them before.

Thanks for the info. I will try Cheaptickets and see what they have. Thanks!

DSIL got the best rate on our rental for our 8/08 trip from a Mousesavers code; however, they also only wanted to use National due to the Emerald Aisle club (which you can join free on Mousesavers). You might want to use Kayak.com to get a range of prices before you start punching in coupons. Beyond that, I'm clueless-I'll be making Fisher Price My First Car Rental this summer .

I've used them for airline tickets but not car rental and never had a problem.

 

[jcc0621]

OMG....I never realized how expensive it is to rent a car With the great price I got for airfare though it will wind u p costing us about the same as driving AND I won't have Jimmy cooped up in my van for 1000 miles To me I think it is worth it, no?

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Have I mentioned that I hate toys? Aiden busted me taking some of his toys to the trash and garage sale piles.

I also wonder if he'd be too mad if all the stupid Webkinz didn't show up at the new house.

 

[DisneyJo]

Probably. According to the school nurse this thing has been taking 4 -5 days to get out of peoples systems!

Wow that'slong, hope Jimmy gets over it quicker

That's OK then And thanks

Errr he may notice BTW Jess said she liked chatting with you and that you seemed nice


KAT I seem to have lost your email so I need to write here, when I've reloaded Word etc onto my laptop it won't do it I've tried several times and it says the pass code is wrong, well I'm using the one that came with it and used when I first loaded it onto the laptop 2 years ago, the discs are 7 years old though So anyway I know what a whiz KC is and how you get loads of stuff free do you know of any cheap ways to get an alternative to Word that still reads Word? Thanks

I had fun chatting with her too. And, I am nice.

I think I'm going to tackle the school closet now.

Car rentals have gone crazy lately...I'd keep an eye on the rates. But it's the taxes and fees that get you.

Are you going to keep them home full time again now that you're moving or do you think you'll look for a co-op in Austin? (Austin, right?)

Yes Janet it can be HORRIBLY EXPENSIVE.. But usually they panic at the end and you can get great deals. But you have to check every week.. especially the last 2 months before the trip. The last 2 weeks before I check all of them every day.

You can also down grade. I'll keep a look out for you for deals on my end. This IS FOR AUGUST ... RIGHT ??

 

[jcc0621]

But it's the taxes and fees that get you.

I had a great rate of $166 but after all the fees and taxes, etc.....close to $350

Oooh, good question about the HS? Dawn
