I'm not victim blaming at all. I believe he killed her or at least somehow contributed to her death and she didn't deserve that. But she wasn't the helpless innocent that the media portrayed her as. I don't have much sympathy for the people who drown because they are out on a boat, drunk...

I thought at the time (and still do) that she made some very poor choices. She was about my age, and she put herself at risk. Just makes me angry she was that stupid. Her parents sent her on that trip to begin with, and I don't understand that. The whole set up was courting disaster. And the...

Also, I have done Vancouver with and without a car, transit is great, but without involves a lot of walking. Parking rarely is a problem, so I would rent a car with your ankle.

Stanley Park, Van Duesen Gardens, the public market. That would keep me occupied for 3 days. Stanley Park is huge, and just the aquarium could take half a day. Day trip to Victoria, maybe for afternoon tea, and the Royal BC museum. Although you probably don't want ferry time if going on a...

As a personality, I think he's a raving lunatic. But if it gets some people to listen to the common sense bits he does champion, whatever works, I guess. A lot of his more specific ideas just don't work for a lot of people. The car thing- you need a reliable car, not a junker, in most parts of...

Lol. Well, that goes for a surprising number of topics on the dis. I'm often reminded of arguments mom used to mediate between my sister and I...when we were under ten, and playing monopoly. I can just picture the look on CM's face if this was brought to their attention aboard the ship!

I am dying to stay in one of the crystal cove beach houses but haven't had much luck getting reservations. I thought that was further away than 30 minutes though, at least in daytime traffic? I google mapped nearly everything last spring and I had a hard time finding anything within an hour.

Uh, bcla, read my post again. That part refers to camping around DL. I agree, I wouldn't want to drive a motor home into Yosemite. But tent camping in Anaheim either sucks or is nonexistent.

If a kid is old enough to climb into their own seat, then sure, why not? They're not any less entitled to a seat than a healthy adult. Toddlers on laps I could see but over about 5 years old, I don't think it's practical to expect them to double up, and it's so hot during the summer that I...

They're non transferable. So no, not legally. Whether you'd get away with it or not is an entirely different matter. It would depend if their names are on the tickets.

Hm. I see what you mean about Iceland. I love it too, but it's not a particularly handicapped accessible place. I would suggest Rome and Venice, which would be glorious in spring, but that may be harder in your knee than Iceland. Any interest in Germany? Like the fairy tale road? Great transit...

Don't care about fossil but the vault is one of the cool theme ones. Stupid.

Add a Chinatown or Asian night market experience. Food. Dragon themed rollercoaster. (Admittedly, mostly because I like Mulan, roller coasters, and dim sum). Some sort of redwoods or gold rush themed land, an expansion of the challenge trail. I don't know how they'd pull it off but carsland is...

I've tried like 3 years in a row to get a campsite. Any campsite, any time between June and September, just for a few consecutive days. Nada. Zilch. I feel like I have a better chance of scoring comic con tickets or FOP fast passes at this point. So my tip would be don't plan anything until you...

Think of it as Disneyworld for history buffs. Except largely free.:lmao:

Well, maybe:rolleyes1 I definitely think it's awesome for your daughter to get that opportunity. I went to DC as a senior with my class and it changed the direction of my college career! Such a cool place. I agree with kbmartin, that's weird. Fundraising, organizing- it all takes so long that...

Not really evidence they were cheating. I don't do the yell out thing. They might be shy, they might think that part is dumb. Surprised they don't check the sheets, but I tend to think that if you're so desperate for a free keychain that you'd lie about your score on trivia night, have at it. I...

This. The only way you would have brought it out into the open, so there would be absolutely no misunderstanding, so that the nephew should get the help he probably needs and so that you could have maybe prevented him from victimizing others would have been to prosecute. I understand why you...

The cones at carsland. The Oreo churro in downtown Disney. Carthay Circle, Trader Joe's. Not unique to Disney, but my new favorite place to eat in Dtd is tortilla jim's. Great margarita list. And good food too.

The stuff he objects to he sounds a lot like my dad, who wouldn't see the value in any $10,000 vacation especially not a 7 day cruise. So I think at best, if you get him to go again, he may go along with it but not love it. You'd have to decide if that's worth it to you. Mom took dad on a lot...
