Second school is closing early to accommodate the curfew.

First school is still asking those who live in the city to please stay on campus.

Meanwhile, seems businesses not affected by the riots are trying to help. One restaurant in the couty is allowing service men and women as well as police officers in uniform to eat for free. Others are organizing cleanups.

I love hearing this. And it just goes to prove my point that there are plenty of good, decent people in Baltimore. The troublemakers always seem to make the headlines, and that is unfortunate.

We're in - all done. Free Dining all around!

Woopee!!! That's great news!!

If you get in the A boarding group and get bulkhead seats, he should be fine. Just keep in mind that if you plan on doing that, one carry-on only.

One carry-on per person. I've flown nothing but SW for the past 20+ years.

I rather go to Allies Donuts. The donuts at Dunkin are pathetic after you've tried those. Not to mention, I go bye 2 Dunkins on my way to the highway

Never heard of them, but they look delish!! (In the meantime, until Allies end up in my area, I'll stick with my Dunkies. )

144 cars and 19 buildings on fire in one night.

Horrid and lets not forget 20 injured police officers two of which are in serious condition. Prayers.

I like you Cesar. You can stretch out in the tub.

We don't want him to fall over and hurt himself.

Hubby likes JetBlue because the seats are roomier, and his knees don't touch his chest.
Also assigned seating and individual tv's are nice.

For $1200 bucks though, he'll have to suck it up. Do you know how many Dooney & Bourke bags that will buy?

I love watching tv on the plane! Jet Blue is my favorite!! It's around a 3-hour direct flight Boston to Orlando, and the tv's really help to pass the time. They also have music channels if you just want to listen to music, too.

But I understand your predicament--for $1,200 less, you really have no choice here.

I did the 24 hour check-in from the middle of one of the parks last year ... no issues.
Group B. Same as going down.

I think just about every hotel now has computers that guests can use, to do the 24-hr. airline check-in & print out boarding passes. I've done it at the Swan the past few years; and I recall 2 years ago, I got stuck behind a big family who were trying to do the online check-in for all their tickets. I didn't feel like waiting for them to finish, so I just walked over to the Dolphin and used the airline computers there. Easy peasey.

I've checked in within 5 seconds of the 24 hour time, and not gotten Group A in 8 years.

Me either. Maybe I'm part Canadian.

The best I ever got was on my laptop using Firefox. Worst was my iPod in MK. Since my brother has autism and cannot sit apart from one of us, we don't risk getting a low position. We pay for the A group on the way back. On the way down there, B30 was about the worst we've ever done

Disneyquest doesn't have computers anymore.

You do know you don't have to pay extra and your brother is eligible for free preboarding? My friend's daughter (autistic) needs a window seat. They get a blue preboard pass.

Ha ha ha . . . Nope. When I was about 5-6 years old, the crime I committed was stealing a dress for my doll from a small, local store. I was Public Enemy # 1. I remember that the dress was blue and had pretty ribbons on it; problem was that when I got it home, I felt so guilt-stricken about taking it without paying for it out of my allowance, that I never put it on my doll. I learned at a young age that crime doesn't pay.

P.S.: I assume the statue of limitations has run out so that I can confess my crime now?!

Confession is good for the soul.

Confession is good for the soul.

Yes, yes, I do feel so much better now.

my first one the internet since Sunday and I finally saw the Baltimore scenerio

And there is the answer to yesterday's question about who is not aware of what's going on in Baltimore

Southwest doesn't have assigned seating though so if you want your group to sit together, you need to check in right at the 24 hour mark to get the earliest boarding group. Or you can pay extra. I don't.

You get free baggage on SW in Canada don't you?

Not sure that SW flies out of Canada. We always board in Buffalo. And yes, so far, each passenger still gets TWO free bags.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Oops, double post. I hate when things get wonky.

Ha!

Is the movie, Frozen, big over in Tokyo? I would hope it is, if they're building a Frozen Land over there.
