Yeah, that's the thing...Wyoming doesn't have an airport. Well, it has a bunch of the tiny little municipal ones, but that tacks an extra $200-300 onto each flight. It's way cheaper to drive to Denver and fly. If you live in the Western part of Wyoming, you drive to Salt Lake City, Utah in the South, or Idaho in the north. If you live in the East, you drive to Denver...where I come from, that's a 5-6 hour drive. They lose your luggage, and then want you to make a 6 hour drive back to pick it up, and then ANOTHER 6 hour drive back home. It's insane!! And we don't have a choice because Wyoming doesn't have an international airport at all. We HAVE to fly to Denver and then drive up to Wyoming.

I can go to 3 airports within an hour. Milwaukee in about 2, making 4 choices. Ohare is the best for choices. Midway a good hour in the wee hours of the night, best prices but I have to be up at 2am. I'm usually in WDW by 930. I'll stop whining about the hour drive.

The first time I did that I texted my DS I was at the resort, left luggage with bellhop and he was like-I'm not off for another 4 1/4 hours, which I knew. I went to DTD and told him to text me when he was heading to resort and I'd head back. We both arrived at same time though the cast busing was elsewhere. The discounts are nice but I need him to check me in and he has to swipe me into the park with his pass so it takes some juggling.

I'm still wondering if buying with American Airlines was a good idea.
The price was impossibly good... but the mess ups and the awfully old planes gives me the creeps.
(they still fly old MD80's and MDS-80's)

Stop fretting about what you no longer can change. Focus on being excited for your adventure. I'll send ya all the good karma hoping the travel portion goes well. It is finally here! Happy Dance time!!!

I'm just one movie away from finishing off the Disney animated canon. It's rather bittersweet. Sweet because I feel it's a huge accomplishment to have watched all 54 movies, yet bitter because I won't be able to experience any of the movies for the first time again and I'm not looking forward to the one movie I have left (Dinosaur).

 

[Gabe1]

Yes, I remember visiting the site again shortly thereafter, and it had sold.
Car was the first thing I thought of, too.

e

Cause we are kinda the same kinda families. We drive them till they really don't drive anymore. We've always looked at cars as one of the poorest things to invest money in because it immediately depreciates dramatically and continues to do so. Me, I always thought the longer they lasted for the dollars expended the better value they were. Both my Mustang and my Truck lasted forever and I mourned their passing.
When my Mustang passed my Sis sent me Flowers.

Hahaaa...!!!
My sweet DWifey will swear up one side and down the other that she does not snore, but, there's only 2 people in this bed right now (no dogs even in the room), and I'm pretty sure that ain't me sawin' those logs...

Walt is snoring and having a body active dream.

A drink and food always surpasses an in-out burger! Have a great meal!

I've never had one of those.

 

[Figgy1]

If they had flavoring, maybe. But they don't have like...food coloring, or fruit extracts here. They have lemon, rum, almond and vanilla flavorings and that's it. I tried to get orange extract...doesn't exist here. But it's ok. I have friends who send me Jello packets if I ask. It's really light so it doesn't cost much to send. And then when I'm in the states I stock up on it....and gravy mix. And twizzlers. I MISS twizzlers.

Replace water with fruit juice and you can add as much or as little sugar as you want

 

[Figgy1]

Well @ajrwdwgirl is traveling, and so was @StarWarsGirl95, right? And @Cesar R M is getting ready for his trip and @figmentfan423 is probably getting ready for a party. I'm guessing everyone's busy for right now.

Once I kick everybody back out next week I'm going to try and get some sewing done.

 

[Figgy1]

Oy. Sympathy Like doesn't seem to cover that age demographic.

Thank you. His friends are all good kids but this is their first big not at school co ed party They think they'll have no supervision, they're in for a bit of a surprise! @MR FERRET it's not me they have to worry about it's one of the other kid's parents! ok maybe a little bit me

 

[Figgy1]

Yup. Got home about 30 minutes ago. It's cold, my allergies have returned, and I have a migraine. I'm ready to go back down south now. Good thing we're headed to WDW in about two weeks (uch to the cat's dimsay)

Sympathy like. How did your kitty react to you getting home?

 

[Figgy1]

And this is why we fly. And the one road trip to Cleveland with a then toddler made me make a promise to myself never again.

I guess I'm lucky my boys have always been good in the car. Even when they were little they could go for long rides which is good because some of our family is quite spread out.

We thought about flying last trip but the cost of tickets plus checked bags plus rental car

 

[Figgy1]

Good morning it's above freezing and the roads are clear. @Songbird76 is right today I'm getting the house in order. More like getting some breakables away and a bit of cleaning. I also have a bit of prep and cooking. I can't believe after yesterday's mess tomorrow will be warm enough to BBQ and grill.

We believe you . . .

@MinnieM123 how did you make out with yesterday's weather?

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I miss that show so much.

Me too. I have seasons 1 & 2 on dvd.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

[MOXOMUMD]

I am a Dunkin Donuts coffee drinker, sometimes I'll add a scoop of a Dark Roast of Starbucks if I am really sleepy for a bolder coffee. I like Dunkin cause it is a smooth coffee and doesn't ever bug my tummy.

Dunkin is pretty good, my in laws use that and it was tasty. Speaking of coffee.....
