Well darn. We were driving through a no cell service zone when it was time to checkin for southwest. We had to wait about 20 minutes and got C9, 10 and 11. Boo. Also I reserved us all under one confirmation hoping DS would piggy back our Precheck but that didn’t happen. Do they not do that...

Dd is flying Spirit this week. Is the Motherlode Jr backpack an acceptable size for the carryon?

Interesting. What crappy quality control they have. I was afraid I would rip the lining. I did try a little to get it unstuck and it is really on there good. Might try more. Will see what they say about my email. I haven’t requested return yet, I just sent them a question about a weird plastic...

I figured it out. It is defective. That is a plastic piece that should be glued to the bottom (wheel end). Quality control is not great. I will have to figure out how to return it after my trip this week because it is really glued on the lining, no way I am getting that off and in the...

I decided to order the Away before the $200 offer expired. It just came today. I am eh so far. They actually seem a little cheapy feeling to me. Also the checked bag has some kind of weird plastic thing glued to the inside of the lining. I don’t know if something fell apart or what the heck it...

My DD graduates this spring and her job offer definitely showed DH and I we picked the wrong major long time ago. Lol She will be starting out about where DH is now after 30 years in Engineering. And she is not moving to that high of a COL area. But that does bring up a good point that...

Looking at the survey on r/churning, boy do I feel old. lol And the wrong gender.

Thanks. I have never heard of that. I think he would really like that. Which does make me nervous. lol He would honestly give most of his money away if he could. DH and I worry he will live in our basement forever because he is so anti money. lol Though he does enjoy his job so unless he is...

Older DD applied and got it, younger DD applied and was denied. I think her income was too low. Though now that I have her W2s in hand I think she actually underreported her income. I am not sure what income they are looking for. At the time she was not 21 so technically could not put down...

DD did get a CIP years ago while in college just to transfer to United Miles for her study abroad plane ticket. But she did have the Discover first so not sure if that helped. Now the MSR is so high that spend is not even possible for her. And I couldn't help her with that much spend either...

Man, I had a Dosh booboo. I just happened to notice they had 15% back at Maurices. I don't usually go there but was in desperate need for some jeans and thought I would give them a try since I was in that area anyway. Found 2 pair I liked, YAY, and paid for it and looked for the cash back to...

My kids all started with Discover. They are usually pretty easy to get for students. Once she has had it awhile then try Chase. Chase does have a student Freedom Card you can try, I believe you can even support from your Freedom Unlimited. Mine went straight to Freedom Unlimited after the...

i just looked up Dutch Blitz and it sounds very similar to a game we play with regular playing cards called Nerts. It is a lot of fun. I agree with above about the Narrows hike. It was our favorite hike out of our 2 week trip. But it is season dependent as you can’t do it if the flow rate of...

Thanks, never heard of these, will look into them.

We have the regular ticket to ride. One of those games I don’t think would be as interesting with 2 players. But the smaller board of a junior game might make that better. I did see the Europe version, I think, looked smaller and wondered if it would be good for 2 players.

Since we are talking games, anyone have recommendations for good 2 people games now that the kids have left us? I know a lot say you can play with 2 player but it really is not the same. If anyone is looking for a good cooperative game we really enjoy the Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle. We are...

Ha, I am actually looking at the 2 Catan boxes that are out and NOT in the new shelving unit we bought just before Christmas. 🤣 We keep them separate because we don’t always play with more than 4 people so we put the expansion back into its own box when we do use it. Having the kids home for...

i am also a last minute planner and it has worked out for me twice but if you can plan early enough for when reservations open that would be best. OurGrand Canyon room I was able to get in March for a first week in June trip in 2017 and our Yellowstone room I got in April and our Teton room I...

Depending on how you do the Grand Canyon, then yes totally worth it if you have never seen it. I went on a road trip with my friend a few months ago and we totally did a Clark Griswold stop. I guess that’s fine if you have never seen it, but my preference would be to hike down at least part way...

I would highly recommend staying in the parks. Check Xanterra, that is what most NPs use, but I think Teton may have been a different one. I really enjoyed Yellowstone but it was soooooo much driving within the park and we stayed inside and it was still a lot of driving. I checked everyday for...
