*Sept 10th 2011 WB Transatlantic* From Spain to Space Mountain - Part 3

[PFlamingo]

Note to self: Do NOT cross PFlamingo!! LOL!

If I was a dog, I'd be a terrier.

I felt so bad for the gate manager who, to her credit, saw what happened and told a grown man to "suck it up" as she wasn't going to let the plane go with a mom split apart from her little boys.

She's my cousin - the pit bull.

Stamy is doing good thanks, he has managed to rub his head on anything & everything at any opportunity and has finally got all the scabs off. We've stil not had the lab results back I called them yesterday to get it chased up but still haven't heard back, i'm going to call again in a minute.

Good for Stamy - that's the spirit! We're still keeping fingers and paws crossed for him.

I need to call mine, too, and see what's up. I'm kind of assuming no news is good news. I'm pretty sure "Doc" would call me if anything was wrong.

Do I want a handfull of M&M's or uncovered chocolate then the answer would be no thank you.

Darn. Now I'll have to think of something else.

One year on a flight home from Hawaii, I was just getting myself situated in my seat when we were confronted by two "ladies" angry at us for being in their seats. We vacated the seats as soon as humanly possible to try to appease them. DH calmly notified the flight attendants of what had happened and they went to check into it.


The moral of this story is .....

Yep. Which is why you smile sweetly and keep your voice calm and steady when inquiring about the "no pedophile" guarantee.

WooHoo for that! We enjoyed flying Hawaiian Air as well a few years ago. I'm really an easy-going person... and have literally flown hundreds of times for business (was AAdvantage Gold) and pleasure (like when I worked for an airline)... but was just amazed the airline cannot remedy the situation in advance and has a policy to wait until the morning of travel. An empty seat exists right next to me (along with 80 others in coach), but they can't touch it.

Worst case scenario, my 14-month old becomes a lapchild once onboard, and my just-turning-5-year-old sits next to me in the baby's assigned seat. (Thank goodness under age 2 can be a lapchild!) So what we spent an extra 30,000 frequent flyer miles for the baby to have her own seat... It is well worth it to me to have my young children in arm's reach should they not be able to seat us together as we were originally booked. I have a resolution even if the airline can't resolve it the morning of.

Want me to call them for you? My inner-terrier is in need of a good run.

One of our roommates, Lovingthemouse, will certainly be happy for this cruise! She lives near Springfield MA, and they are without power tonight after yesterday's tornado. Her school is in the area that was hit - but SHE wasn't there at the time, TG, but on a plane returning from Florida. Her 99 yo mother's home was also spared, but the rest of that street was pretty much destroyed.

I saw this on the morning news! I had to go to work, so I only saw a few pictures, but it looked bad. I'm so glad our fellow cruiser and her mom are okay.

I randomly just checked seats for that flight tonight, and there was a window seat pop up behind DD1 that was not there yesterday the times I checked (yes, multiple times I checked racking my brain). Of course there are centers available... so I moved DD2 and I directly behind DD1. So if DD1 misbehaves, I can kick the back of her seat. And she and I will both have our own window, which we both seem to prefer. Happy in my world tonight!! This was literally the only place on the plane I could get the three of us together like this... same side of plane, directly behind each other, baby still seated next to me. Whew!!

That sounds like a plan! I like your approach to discipline/correction. I'm glad you were able to get this arrangement. Just ridiculous that they couldn't fix this for you. And if DD1 does happen to end up with a seat-mate, just tell her to do something disgusting, like pick her nose. She'll soon have the row to herself.

Glad it all worked out ok for you.

Really??? How do you know that?

I don't think it will be me, I took a guess which resort I think it is but i'm no where near sure....as for where the bus is going well that is a totally random guess for everyone.

Good Morning, Happy Cruisers!

Looks like we might have a new thread today?

Nippy one here in the great northeast!

My computer situation is getting sorted out, but it's not coming easily.

What was the question two people answered correctly? Somehow, I missed it.

Happy Day, all!

 

[squitty]

Karen, just to say a big thank you. My T'shirt arrived this morning..love it

Hi Linda, you haven't missed anything. Karen & I were talking about a question on the UK forum.

Finally ready for our garage sale. I hate setting up, but like the money it makes. It's too windy to put things out on the driveway and way too humid to be stuck in the garage. Not a fun day to do this when it's already 80F outside at 6am.

Just thought I'd post since I need to do something to keep myself awake for the last hour before we open up. I got finished with an hour to spare, so that's a good thing, I guess.

YAY for a garage sale! And I hear you about 80F... I am doing a boot camp at 5:30 AM three days a week, and the ONLY reason I am doing it that early is because of the summer temps!

Bringing the in-laws down from KC today, and always hope they would bring cooler weather with them. Unfortunately, it never works that way
