Damn girl you are so lucky at the casinos! :goodvibes :shamrock: On the few occasions we have gambled, we just lose, lose, lose. So quickly that it’s scary and makes it about as enjoyable as flushing cash down the toilet. I quickly gave up.

That sucks. Also a good reason to have an emergency fund. Eventually, when you’re debt free it will be much easier to budget for things like this. Tires, brakes and oil changes are expected expenses when you own a car. It’s normal that these items wear out. It’s just so frustrating when...

You’re braver than we are. Even our kids didnt swim in Alaska. Late August.

That’s actually a great idea, not to sponge off someone but to split the cost and share the package. Easy if you’re sailing with a group of friends/family and you can agree on a fair way to share so that no one gets annoyed.

This is for the middle package.

For our 14-nt WBPC, of the 3 packages offered, dh chose the middle one and it was close to $300 for the full cruise. If you don’t think you’ll use it every day, you can buy 24-hour sessions but those cost more per day than if you buy the full cruise package. It also varies with how many devices...

I agree. It's a nice surprise on the day of boarding. Our TA sends us OBC this way. A note is left in the cabin and the gift buyer can enter a few lines of a message. There are a lot of gift options. https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/gifts-and-amenities/link-reservation

If you're in a port, you should be able to call using any brand of phone. Making phone calls while at sea is very expensive. Does your mom use texting?

This is what we do. The new internet packages onboard are based on days of use, not how much data is used. There are 3 choices of plans based on what you typically do online.

We have considered doing a WBTA but since they're only offered in the spring and fall, I was worried about the weather being warm enough for pool time in the Northern Atlantic. Can anyone tell me what the temps were when they sailed? We have done 2 WBPC cruises and don't mind the 4...

Growing up in South Jersey, for elementary school we went to the Philadelphia Zoo, Academy of Natural Science, Franklin Institute, Longwood Gardens and other local places I can’t recall. When we learned about Japan in 4th grade, one kid’s parents took our class to a Japanese restaurant for...

Mmmm….:thumbsup2 I put them in our kids’ Christmas stockings. They remind me of my grandmother. :lovestruc

Now that our kids are grown and don't cruise with us anymore, I bring them home and put them on their pillows.

This is why people in these situations should get advice from an attorney as to how to plan for the inevitable.

My dad had boats all of his life. It was his passion until his big boat was totaled in Hurricane Sandy. He was 70 then. We used to tease him that he probably kisses it good night. My kids have so many memories of fishing with him. :cloud9:

:hug: I was so fortunate that my grandmother lived to the age of 99.5. I was almost 50 when she passed away. She became a widow at 62 and would always tell me to do things while we can and don’t wait for retirement. My grandfather died at 66 of a massive heart attack (while dancing, which...

I didn’t start it until probably our 10th trip. Back then I had them all memorized and as time went on I realized I would eventually forget small details. So I put it all down in a Word document. Every now and then I like to stroll down memory lane and read it all. That’s when I realize...

I agree, the media twists everything, about UK and US too. I’m glad you’re doing well. That is an incredibly rough road you’ve been down. :flower3: :hug: I work in breast imaging and prior to that in the same hospital but in the general radiology dept which includes our trauma center and...

I'd email it to myself then open on the laptop/desktop. Then use that device to open my email and save it.
