Did you know that actually comes from jousting? Riders would ride on the left side so that they could use their right arm to knock each other off.

Those of us more advanced don't worry about that and drive on the side of the road that feels more natural to drive on. :p

I always thought it was because covered wagon drivers drove the horses from the right.

So, I was doing a bit of research into our next Disney trip, which I hope to do in 2019 or 2020. I can't make heads or tails of anything!! I had to use 2018 dates, but the deal I got last time wasn't available. Instead, they have up to 4 nights free on a 2 week vacation. But...I thought that rooms got cheaper toward the end of August when it wasn't peak season anymore, but the later into August I got, the MORE expensive it got. I REALLY want to stay at the Poly sometime, but what was confusing was, when I plugged the dates into the Ireland site, for 2 weeks, it gave 2 nights free, worth about 1500 euros. When I converted the price to US dollars, it came out to over 11,000, even with those 2 free nights. When I plugged in the EXACT same dates into the regular US site, with NO free nights, it came out to less than 10,000. When I add in the extra 1500 euros on the UK/Irish site, and convert that to US, it's over 13,000...so they are charging Europeans 30% more per night? And then trying to make it look like a great deal when they only charge 10-15% more per night? Gee....great deal. It makes NO sense.

I think the best deals for 2018 for your side of the pond are already gone. Paging @Mr Ferret 88

The French definitely helped us beat King George III. Not sure about the democracy part as they had a monarchy at the time. Anyway we are a republic. Gotta get nit-picky with this stuff since I am teaching the Revolutionary War period with one kid now. ;)

Yes, I know. I'm intending to be a comedian, not a historian.
