man! I booked spirit and I think I JUST will make it under this new rule. We are travelers that DO NOT take the massive freakin roller bags on for carry on. I do a small travel bag - THAT'S IT! And for a woman who is in charge of 4 other people - that's pretty darn good! I won't fly this airline aga...

I find that like anywhere else - making a connection depends on both parties. Everytime we've been in Dolphin, my brother starts some good-natured picking on me, brother/sister stuff. EVERY TIME - the clerk started laughing and asking me if I wanted him thrown out! Obviously - she was someone's sist...

So true! We started our budgeting about 6 months ago. THANK GOD my hubby gets a bonus every year - that's how this trip is occurring. As expensive as it is - my kids (22 and 18) are so excited they can't stand it! I'm thrilled they've accepted the fact that with every day life (travel hockey, kid in...

Snorkel - here's what we remember from past parades - it is in HIGH gear til about 4. I seem to remember after then it is winding down - people heading off on the ferry back to STT. We will come in on the 4 pm ferry - not sure if you're planning on that one or not. We can suffer through together!

We typically fly out of Charlotte. We go the night before, get a room at Embassy Suites. Have a WONDERFUL breakfast the next morning and have the shuttle take us to the airport, leaving our car at the hotel! Worked perfectly except for one time - our car had a flat tire when we returned. No biggee -...
