Wonderful Panama Canal Sept 2014

Wow that are cheap prices

 

[dsnydaddy]

Wasn't bad. But that reflects a price jump. I had seen FAT>SAN and MCO>FAT for just $275 pp. but just before I could book all the prices jumped and I ended up paying about $350. Not bad just not as good as before. But I'm not gonna gripe. I got free luggage and a ton of air miles out of it.

Im paying 750 euro about 1000 dollars for AMS San mco ams via Houston both ways

 

[dsnydaddy]

Ouch!

 

[kerstfan1]

Well for intercontinantal flights or is oke

 

[kdeans1010]

Just booked our flight. SEA to SAN $159 MCO to SEA $162 what sense does that make

Thnlk- where are you in WA are you? We're waiting for Southwest or Jet Blue top open up.

Oh! To answer questions:
I feel better. Officially per the nutritionist I am on the "anemic-lactose intolerant-low cholesterol- heart healthy-pancreatitis diet." Basically oatmeal, yogurt, salads, sushi. It doesn't sound bad unless you look at what I was eating before and it's a total change.

Well for intercontinantal flights or is oke

True. I have a habit of always multiplying by 4 to calculate the whole family. So $8000 for an intercontinental flight to Europe is crazy money.

 

[kerstfan1]

1000 is for the round trip

 

[Thnlk]

Thnlk- where are you in WA are you?

Puyallup

[Thnlk]

I have family there.

I grew up in Sandpoint Idaho so I'm very familiar with Spokane

 

[kdeans1010]

I live in the opposite direction of Spokane. I live over on the islands, about an hour and change north of Seattle... which kinda' makes me sound like a freak.

Isn't Pullayup where the state fair is?

 

[Thnlk]

Isn't Pullayup where the state fair is?

Yes it is.

Hi Ho everyone!!! How ya'll doin'n??!? Good I hope.

We have our one way plane fare booked and paid for. Next and last thing I need to do is setup a car rental for our trip from Port Canaveral to home after we get to Florida. Oh yeah, almost forgot got, need to ask one of our spoiled brats, ( did I say that out loud??!!!?!?) I mean, one of our darling children to drive us over to the airport for the flight out to California. After those two things are scheduled I believe we are all set.

I ordered a special Christmas gift for DW about 10 more like 12 days ago. Something she, and me too, have wanted for a while now. It was suppose to have shipped a few days ago. I kept checking the manufacturers website, and it kept saying it was in fulfillment. So I called and got the run around by the customer service person I was talking to on the phone. Didn't like his answer at all. So, I waited like he said to do, and again nothing. Noticed that the charge on my credit card, on my banks website, which always said the transaction was pending, dropped off. So I called the bank and they told me that the merchant didn't follow thru to complete the transaction, so the bank removed the pending transaction from my credit card. So yesterday, I called manufacturer again. Got a different customer service representative this time who was very helpful. He put me on hold while he called the production department. Came back on to me and said that he told the manager I had called twice now and that my order would be shipping today, (yesterday). And it did. It is to arrive next Tuesday. So.................fellow shoppers out there in internet land, I guess it's like the old saying goes, "It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease!!!" I must have squeaked pretty loud.

squeak squeak.....

I still have to get the return trip booked from Orlando. We are taking a car service to the airport...quicker and cheaper...and no griping from the kid. Our flight leaves rather early and I can hear my darlings now.......plus someone would have to take time off from work.

We talked about that too Stephanie. And, the more I think about it, that is probably the way we will go too. We are in the same boat as you, (I crack myself up everytime I say that !!!) one of our little darlings would have to take sometime off as well. Don't want to hear about that all the way to the airport!!!

Hey, Stephanie, you and your DH are getting ready to set sail on the Fantasy here in a little over a week. Lucky you!!! Wish we were going too. Have fun. Enjoy all of the Christmas decorations on board the ship and Castaway Cay. We saw them last December on our cruise in December on the Fantasy. They are beautiful. Have a GREAT CRUISE!!

Thanks, David, we are really getting excited and are more than ready to go! We've seen Castaway Cay decked out for Christmas and the Magic, but haven't been on either the Dream or Fantasy all done up. Last year, we were first November cruise and they hadn't done anything yet! So excited to see it!

I'm more than ready for this vacation, let me tell you! If I don't go soon, they will be looking for a straight jacket or a room at the funny farm!!!

Dave said today he was sitting at his desk in physical form, but his mind was about 800 miles south, on deck!!!

 

[Thnlk]

Just want to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels.

 

[Va-NanaTink]

Adding my best wishes for a wonderful SAFE Thanksgiving for everyone!!!
