Something About Nothing ... #12

[tink1957]

Flying as long as I can get a flight for under $150 rt so much better what with road construction and the long drive with Trey driving...we get there quicker but it's hard on my nerves.

Woot, rental went down by 15 dollars. Now only has to go another 50 or so down, to be close to what we had a few weeks ago. Busier time? Hope not.

Tink, hope you find a good airfare. Driving is not bad, but tiring. So far, my airfare has only gone down once (thank you), but then has steadily climbed. I'd drive, but it would take me 1 and 1/2 days, and with the floods, probably more like almost 2 days. So, it's flying for me. Sending mummy dust that you find a cheap round trip, direct flights.

Tink- Good luck on airfare rates!
Lynne- Always good news when costs go down!!

I'm off from work today- so going to do some yard work and then laundry later on! It's a beautiful day here again- sunny and 80! I think we're going to miss any remnants of Florence- it will end up south of us so very thankful!

Good afternoon. We have a little bit of sun and blue sky, but the gray clouds are still lurking around.

Agavegirl - Glad you were able to reschedule your trip.

Tlinus - I hate parallel parking. I will go out of my way to avoid it. Thankfully it is not required for a Virginia license. Hope your middle child is doing better. I am allergic to amoxicillin. It makes me break out.

Bobbie - I would be totally freaking out if I was on a sky ride that stopped. My husband is excited about the new gondolas at Disney, but I told him I will still be taking the bus.

I am so envious of all of you who are leaving for trips soon. I just have to be patient until next summer.

Hope you can find a flight as it beats driving.

When I go to Ocala I drive.
When I go to Orlando I prefer flying.

I have never booked a flight 24 hours out.
Have you found anything yet or waiting until morning to decide to drive?

I've had a long morning and just now catching up on the dis

Hello Homies! Just popping in again to let you all know that October 2019 is booked (except for air). Disney part was the last to be booked. My US Seasonal passes will still be good and my deposit for Portofino was applied to a new reservation. I still have to deal with the tickets I have on Delta for this year and am working on a "change plan" now. We can maybe go to Florida in October and drive to Jacksonville (where I have six days of hotel vouchers) or throw myself on the mercy of the airline to let me get airline credit. DH really doesn't want to lose it but he is just so grateful at this point that I am better, he would call it a "medical expense".

Since I've now been married 3 years (Sep. 5), who has the "Honeymoon Suite" now?

Belated Happy Anniversary......same day as us.......although we are 26 years now!!!

Glad you have next trip sorted.......and best wishes as always for your continued improvement........

Happy Sunday all!! Thanks SO much for the birthday love

mac - I had a Birthday Key Lime Pie....does that count?

Happy Belated Birthday to Carole and a Happy Birthday to my bday twin!!!

Happy Belated Anniversary to the pattyw family!

8 more sleeps for me

I have a feeling EVERYTHING is going to blow up this week in work. I usually wind up staying in the office until 6 or 7 on a Friday before vacation....I see this happening this week as well.

Tuesday afternoon, the boy has his second shot at the driving test. He KNOWS what he is doing, just got to nervous last time with the parallel parking. So we will go out tomorrow after they close to run the course a few times.

Middle child wound up in the hospital the other night. Her left tonsil had swollen and her throat was sore so she went to the Urgent Care. They gave her tablets of 875mg of Amoxicillin. She took it and lets just say it did NOT agree with her. She needed IV fluids and anti nausea medication....I was a mess. Jim was going to throw me on a plane. They convinced me she would be ok, and she was discharged at 3AM. These are the times I fear. She goes to school on the other side of Pennsylvania. Tested negative for strep, negative for mono....she has a really viscious case of tonsillitis and because it is viral, she needs to let it run its course She is doing a bit better as of today. Just pushing through, going to class and resting at night.

Throwing the towels in the dryer, and calling it an early night! Hope all my peeps in the Carolinas are doing ok....stay safe with the rain. Hope it ends soon!!!

Birthday key lime pie sounds so good!!!!

Oh your poor daughter!!! Hope she`s much better soon.......

We were at the Studios on Saturday morning and even though I didn't know your plans, I was keeping an eye out in you guys were there too! But no luck... you were next door...

Oh no!!!! We almost went to Studios......but as we walked we decided to go to IOA instead........would have been nice to say hello........... Hope you had a lot of fun!!!


Belated Happy Birthday to Squirlz..........


Still hotter than Hades here.......but secretly loving it.......although it is incredibly hot!!! Back in room changing and chilling before we go back out tonight.......Club Lounge then maybe Aventura for cocktails and food.......if food doesn't appeal we`ll hit our favourite Bar....StrongWater......

Having a blast!!!!

[macraven]

I'm still laughing at the minion one...

 

[macraven]

I know you are loving every minute being in Orlando

 

[Squirlz]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Tried to upload a picture but the files are all too big.

 

[macraven]

How is the vacation so far?

I know you love that area as it is a second home to you.

Happy Monday evening! Watching Monday Night Football! Have to go into work early tomorrow so have to make it an early night!

Have a great evening all!!

 

[Monykalyn]

Long day...2 more days til HHN! Hope Tink gets her flights. Nice to see Schumi having fun.
Love Robo’s minions Middle kids getting really excited now. Told me today this is best birthday present ever lol. I keep sending her videos and that’s getting her excited. Planning to watch Happy death day and Killer Klowns and Trick r Treat.

And now the car: $500 Plugs, coils, tune up, oil change...and then came home to an envelope from our health plan from last year. Great another bill...NOPE- turns out it’s a refund as we didn’t meet usage or something per ACA rules so they are required to pay back part of premiums. Woohooo-covered most of car repairs.


So sigh of relief-cars fixed, repairs covered, budget intact.
Bed soon I think.

Tried to multi quote everyone but it didn't work. I have already got a good flight price for $104 RT months ago...no way could I wait till the last minute to purchase airfare. I meant I would always choose to fly rather than drive if airfare was $150 or less.

I'm almost done packing, I had to do one last load of laundry and since there's 3 of us going and Trey's car has a small trunk he said my 2 big suitcases will not fit so I had to downsize to a smaller case and use his case for any extra stuff since he has plenty of room.

The lady at the tax office said there was a glitch in the system and several people got false back tax notices so that worked out ok.

Monyk, glad you got a windfall to pay your auto repairs ...hope I get that lucky.

I hear the dryer buzzing so I can finally finish packing then it's time to get some sleep...good night

 

[macraven]

Safe travels for you tomorrow Tink!

I know you will have fun !

 

[macraven]

Monyk is one lucky ducky

What great luck in getting that refund

It will cover the car repairs and came at the right time!
