I got an email from Hertz yesterday advising me of my new compensatory "discount". My new total is only $905 for a 4 day rental! :rolleyes2 Mercifully I still had a safety reservation through Costco, so I'm not totally hosed, but yeah, the way Hertz went about this is completely off-putting...

Given that you're still working and want access to a major airport and big city amenities, Tampa is definitely your best bet of the three. The job and business markets are healthy and you have access to pretty much everything. And anything you can't find here, if you absolutely need it, you...

I got hosed on this too. My long weekend rental went from $225 to $1056 with absolutely no notice. If I hadn't gotten the alert from Mousesavers that would have been a horrifying shock at the counter. I can't believe how shady this is, both that they did and how they did it. I can't...

My husband's work buddies sent him a LEGO Apollo spacecraft kit while he was out recovering from surgery. He's never been a particular LEGO fan but it was a HUGE hit. I think he really liked having something to tinker with and a project to focus on instead of just feeling crummy all the...

It felt like Eddie Murphy wanted to hang out with a bunch of his friends and found a way to get paid for it. That said, while it's not Best Picture material or anything, I've done worse things with 90 minutes of my life.

I have perhaps been "supporting the local restaurants" a wee bit too much.

I think we're at $2.60ish in Tampa Bay. It's not rocket surgery...for about a year no one was going anywhere or doing anything. Prices bottomed out, so oil and gas production was pulled back because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to keep making something that gets you less and less...

It's going to be sort of like having lived through the depression. In 2050 the kids are going to ask, "Why does Grandma hoard hand sanitizer and yeast?" but we'll know! :rolleyes1

I'm embarrassed to say I'd think about, even at 40 miles out! :upsidedow

I wish I was that slick, but I'm just way too awkward to pull it off.

Curbside pickup! I love not having to find parking and haul my can into the store and try to find what I need and stand in line. Every once in a while it's fun to wander Target, but it's pretty much never fun to go to WalMart for kitty litter and now all I have to do is click and pull in...

Interesting--that's good money! If that's the case, it doesn't sound like such a bad deal. I wouldn't mind staying nice and comfy in my car while someone else deals with gas pump.

Showering is mine. I do it regularly, of course, but I've never seen is as anything but a chore. It just seems like such a hassle to have to disrobe, get wet (and likely too hot or cold at some point), dry off, and redress, but I get the idea that most people enjoy it. I keep waiting for...

Is tipping expected? My instinct would be to tip the person doing the fill (back in the stone age when you could opt for full service at the gas station my mom always tipped) but that must add up!

If we were lower risk I would totally go for a free trip right now! Have fun!!!

1.) Vaccines for both of us 2.) Widespread (>50%) vaccines across the general population 3.) A return to at least 80-90% "normal" WDW experience (fireworks, entertainment, fastpass, full park hours, table service dining, etc.) 4.) Either suspension of park reservations or some method of making...

These days, because we have decent policies and fairly good public compliance, we've been taking baby steps back into the world. I haven't really be been restricting store trips or restaurant pickups (masked, distanced, and sanitized), we've had a few restaurant meals at distanced outdoor...

We had our easiest ECV experiences at BLT and French Quarter. Having a smaller scale resort made for quicker trips for food/recreation/transport with less chance for obstacles and fatigue/frustration. The new tower at Coronado might be nice too, especially given that it should have many and...

I've spent a fair amount of time in the UK and have really enjoyed it there. I eventually hope to spend some of my summers there after I retire. The natural beauty is amazing and there's just so much to see and do! Insanely jealous of the NHS and public transport. I once spent 10 days...

DVC pulled that garbage on me. I made every one of our purchases and he's never once spoken to them. Guess who's the "member" and who's the "associate"??? :sad2: I was forced, years ago, to get his permission to make transactions with the contracts I bought. My name comes first...
