Something About Nothing ... #12

[pcstang]

Went into low 40's here last night, brrrr



The mr took a crack at the pool this week since we're supposed to have record breaking heat next weekend - near 90 degrees here & I've been poking him with a stick.

Mechanical issues. Thus far I've ordered 1 part off amazon, another once we find the # on it...looks like a Star Wars Clone Trooper blaster.

We will just miss you in May! Catching plane back home @ 6 pm on the 20th.

I'm seeing $54 RT flights end of July thru October to MCO on Spirit. Tempting for a bonus trip, do believe the mr might make good on changing the lock on the front door if i ditch him again lol.

Those looking for flights might want to give them a gander. My experience, planes are new and they keep to schedule far better than Allegiant, yet only 1 per day out of our market could be an issue.

We will be there on the 19th. Just a boys trip this time.
And yes, our pool is a money pit too!

My October and August flights have never been cheaper since I booked them at the bell and near the bell went SW first opened. I keep looking. I did make my first car rental for December. I don't know what flights SW will have then, I am just going off what I remember from October.

Darn the iPad is not keeping up with my typing. Outta here and finding lunch with DS and enjoying a first year party for my great DNephew. All are in for the party, so it will be great to say hello to all but my oldest Dneice ( who will be in CA, and not make the party).

Have not had any luck in good air rates yet

Will be a first time for me having to pay out a lot more to book

It's Sunday
Rest up today as Monday tomorrow means go to work

 

[Robo56]

Happy Sunday morning. Where is everybody?

 

[macraven]

Guess it is just you and me Robo until I leave for church

Well good morning! I am thinking out loud and this seems like as good a place a step any! Although I suppose by now I am left with sitting on the basement floor.

So my daughter has an due to expire in August. Hence the quick trip next week. But now I'm thinking of getting one. We will have at least 2 more trips after this one........ hmmm decisions decisions.

 

[macraven]

Java!




You have come to the perfect place to think

Basements are a good place
I like them more than the main floor of a building especially when there is a storm

Kick back your shoes and sit in the easy chair here and stay with us to chat

We talk about everything and all are always welcome to join in here

Flonase'd & eye drop'd up but the pollen count here has the two of us looking like slobbering monsters after just a few hours of work out in the yard. Seems earlier than usual this year

I'm still do my best to resist those $54 RT flights lol I'm not especially picky who gets me to MCO if not taking a cruise

Anybody looking into the FDP for WDW? Tomorrow's supposed to be the first day of booking.

Burgers on the grill which i hope is working after installation of new heat exchanger today.

I think everyone is getting hammered this year with allergies. I'm a life long sufferer and my two boys seem to be suffering the same fate. Luckily, it doesn't seem to bother my daughter.

 

[Lynne G]

Me, as both kids are adults, well, older one IS an adult, so free dining appeals to us. But, I have a great deal already, so I don't think FD will be better than I have. I will be peeking though if it hits tomorrow.

Sunday it is and almost hot with the sun all day. But we will pay for it. Rain and more rain for the next three days, and barely reaching 60. But the heavens are going to bless us with close to 90 on Thursday. I hope these long week forecasts are right.

Chilling, and watching hockey. All grocery shopping, laundry, car cleaning, and trash put out done.

Me too PC, bad allergies to pollen run in the male line. My DS is nicely medicated, and darth vader makes his appearance if he gets a bad whiff of pollin. That and a sneezing run. He also is fondly called chipmunk. Poor guy, this time of year is when he likes to stay inside. Little one only seems to get hives when eating. But not sure what sets her off, but is so long between when it happens. Medication, and within 20 minutes, the hives go away. I keep some in my car, and toss, and buy more if it expires. DS doesn't need his medicine on the fly. His is a cocktail of prescriptive and over the counter. He uses nasal sprays that help some too. Alergy indused asma is what DS has.

Hope all have a great evening.

Booked three nights to end our winter fun at the dark side. Great rate for military tickets that expire at the end of the year, so perfect for us. Mouse gets most of the money though. Seems the new stuff, and more than a few years away, are enough to spend some time in the world. I think last time we went, little one was 8.

Ahh, the sun of FLA is surely calling.

I don't want to go back to work tomorrow! We have been on Spring break and it has been delightful.

The only thing giving me the energy to go(besides the nap I just took) is the thought of My trip in 8 days!!!!

Fun fact I am taking the auto train down, all the old people and I. Or maybe I'm in the old people category?

 

[macraven]

Tell your boss I gave you Monday off work and with pay

 

[macraven]

My trip is in 8 days!!!!

holy smokes that is coming up soon...
old people fly as they can't do 8-15 hours of driving and then do the parks.
and, young people take the train if they get a sleeper car so the littles can sleep.

 

[macraven]

Lynne you got a nice deal.
lots of trips still to come for you this year.
and closing the year end out at the darkside a few nights.


pc, i have a lot of going against me but allergeries i don't have.
hope you and the others that are allergy sufferers can handle this season.


Keisha, i read that the moderates for free dining at wdw will be the quick service now
i used to do the free dining packages but don't anymore.
i over eat when on the plan where you get the sit down meals


Robo, sweet you included the orange cat this morning.
Luna is my orange kitty....



now which of my kids here have i missed mentioning?

Hoping for the traditional 3 night stay and w/2 day park hopper minimum requirements but rumor has it that it's a 4 night, 4 day park hopper minimum so we are out as my vacation time and budget will not allow it. The dark side is my priority so we will go 7 nights at Cabana Bay and 2 nights at Pop if that is the case.

Still waiting for SW to reduce the September airfare

 

[macraven]

Tink have you seen the rates come down at all yet?
i've only been flying out ot atlanta since last year but was flying out of milwaukee years prior.
leaving from wisconsin, i was getting fares of $59 a way

don't tell me to move back north for cheaper sw flights.....lol


i need october and the flight i would want to take is non stop and it was $178 one way.

the early morning flight is at $100 but when you click on it, the same price is for the lower group cost.
don't know how long they will have seats for that price.

if i did not have to deal with hotel parking, i would drive instead of fly.
but, with something that is coming up, not sure i would want to drive yet.

i think i know your dates.
i'll give you a heads up if i see the prices come down.


did you get rain yet?
we ended up with over 3 inches yesterday and today.

 

[tink1957]

We finally got rain today...my tomatoes were happy.

The flight prices usually go down around memorial day so I'm waiting. I noticed that the cheapest flight prices are out through mid August now and running around $61 one way...hoping for the $49 we had last year but will settle for whatever we can get.

Thanks for looking out for me mac

 

[macraven]

all my past years i have flown down to orlando in september probably around the 24th of the month.
fares were so cheap for that time period when they dropped.

now i am flying out on oct 1 and nothing is dropping in price.


i always have your back Tink....!

Hello all...I am sitting in beautiful San Diego...took a little bit to get here, but I am here. I have a conference the next couple of days. I was surprised to find that I have been set up in a suite that is a living area, dining area, kitchen (including stove and dish washer)...two separate bedrooms (one with a king and another with two queen sized beds)...and two full baths. It's just me! Talk about overboard. I asked if it was a mistake, and was told no, that is just how things fell out today...it did take them almost two hours, after I got here, to have the room ready. I made myself busy, so I wasn't upset, but this place is huge.

Oh well, it's mine for the next three nights...guess I will have to live with it.

Of course, something like this is not going to happen when the whole family hits HRH...one month away.

Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoy the start to your week.
