Just checking in to say hi and hope you're all done battling Murphy for a while. Not much new here; currently our snowball is building up a fund to pay the $1700 final payment for our new garage door. I'm almost there and the statement cycle hasn't ended yet. Next goal is to put all of our snowball into my retirement account til the end of 2018 to lessen our taxable income. After that it's back to saving up for a new car.
Dh has been working a side job a lot and offered to pay for the DVC rental for our stay in late Nov. Ds18 wants to join us and asked if we could do Universal too. Yay!
So our flights will be free and/or using SW points & companion pass, and our stay at the Hard Rock Hotel is free with Chase UR points. We'll have enough UR points after this billing cycle to book the Hyatt inside MCO for our late night arrival. It's awesomely convenient, esp for late arrivals and even more appreciated when the flight is delayed. This was the case last Thursday before our 3-nt quickie Disney cruise over Labor Day weekend.
Our flight was a few hrs delayed due to mechanical problems and switching out of airplanes & crew. We arrived at 1 am instead in 10 pm. During our cruise, we received an email from SWA offering us travel vouchers of $100 each for our inconvenience. We'll add this to the $200 pp vouchers we got in June when our flight home from FLL was around 6 hrs delayed. Instead of getting home at 10pm, we got home at 4 am.
Dh is already concocting ideas on how to spend them.
We watched Finding Nemo while on the ship and I thought of all of you during the Just Keep Swimming scene.
Hang in there everyone!! Never give up!
