    Updated Canada/US Border Rules Announced 19 July 2021

    There goes trip #4 since this pandemic started. Sigh...I was really hoping that the US border would open given Trudeau's earlier announcement. Very disappointing! I guess I'll start planning for March break, but it's difficult to get excited about planning anything anymore!

    Possible travel late August

    DD and I will both be fully vaccinated by our planned August trip. I was just on the Walgreen's site (closest to Animal Kingdom), and it says that when you arrive you must "show your confirmation email, a valid state ID or driver's license, and insurance card or voucher". I would be interested...

    Mom just announced she has liver cancer! I'm having trouble coping

    I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. My Mom was diagnosed with advanced leukemia in her lymphatic system 18 months ago. We were all with her to get the results of her biopsy and it honestly felt like someone punched me in the gut when the doctor delivered the news. For months after that, I was...

    Travelling alone with daughter - letter needed?

    I would definitely get a notarized letter. I travelled with my teenage daughter after my separation and divorce and I always carried a notarized letter AND a copy of my separation agreement that outlined custody arrangements. I was never asked for it, but my lawyer shared plenty of horror...

    I have Narrowed it down to 2 resorts, plz help me narrow it to just one

    Tough call! I've stayed at both and they're both beautiful resorts. You can't beat the Poly for proximity to transportation and the Magic Kingdom, but it's also nice not to have to rely on transportation to get to the parks. In addition to walking to World Showcase at Epcot, Boardwalk is just a...

    50s PT or B&C?

    I vote for Beaches & Cream. I love the atmosphere and it's always fun when someone orders a 'Kitchen Sink' dessert! Enjoy!

    Ordering Groceries

    I have used Garden Grocer many times and have never had any problems. When you complete your order, you can specify the window that you want you food delivered. For example, we typically don't land until late morning/early afternoon, so I always get a timeslot between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. for...

    How big a stickler is Air Canada with Carry-On luggage size

    I just had to weigh in on this one. When we flew Air Canada in July (to the World), they were weighing and measuring carry-on bags at the check-in counter and then putting a tag, "Cabin Approved" or something like that on bags that they had checked. These tags were re-checked again at the gate...

    Tipping in Barcelona

    My daughter and I will be sailing from Barcelona this Saturday (:cool1:). I know tipping practices differ in Europe so I'm looking for some feedback as to what would be a reasonable tip percentage for the taxi (from the airport to the hotel) and at restaurants. Thanks in advance!

    Barcelona Airport to Hotel

    My daughter and I are going on a 7-day Med cruise next month and will need to get from Barcelona airport to the Renaissance Barcelona Hotel (we have transfers from the hotel to the port). For those who have sailed from Barcelona, I'm looking for some feedback on which option you have used to...

    Cashing Traveler's Cheques on Mediterranean Cruise

    Thanks again! Do you know if ATMs in Europe (specifically Spain, France and Italy) charge a fee when you use the pre-paid card to withdraw cash? If so, how much is it, e.g. in dollars or %? Thanks!

    Magic Bands Question

    I was having the same issue, and it turned out one of my reservations had a space in the postal code and the other did not. Once I made the postal codes consistent with each other, I was able to customize the bands. Thanks for the tip! :thumbsup2

    Cashing Traveler's Cheques on Mediterranean Cruise

    I'm planning to take traveler's cheques with me on my Mediterranean cruise this summer as I want to minimize the amount of cash I'm carrying on the way over. I know Guest Services on the ship cashes them, but does anyone know if they cash them for Euros vs. US dollars and is there a daily limit...
