When DS was little, we did Disney and he absolutely the club despite being a clingy boy. We now do RCCL and they’re definitely so much to do. Especially on the bigger ships with the carousel, younger kid water play area and more. Many times we don’t even get off at port and just enjoy the quiet ship.
Tennessee girl/fan so I will not join you in the roll tide lol BUT we have been to many many SEC football games. Are you going to the Texas game? That is going to be intense. It will be FUN. But, be prepared. Arrive several hours early. Yes, several. If you aren't staying in walking distance then add hours to that several so you can get parking easily. It will be loud and chaotic but honestly most fans at most may do some mild trash talk but they won't get rude or anything. (And I hate Texas more then Bama so I'll root for a win for him for his maybe future alma mater!).
As a grad of another SEC school, I second what @orangecuse said. Hopefully stay within walking distance, get there hours early and if you've never been to an SEC game before it will be something that you've never seen before. Walk around the tailgates to soak up some of the atmosphere. DD has a few friends that go there and we went to a game down there a few years ago, lots of fun.
Dh found out his sister might be cruising near Italy next year so we might tag along with them. It depends if dh has enough vacation since we’re already doing 3 weeks in Japan. They’re the only family we have that really travels anywhere so we asked them if they had any trips planned. They’re looking at royal Caribbean.
Wear bama gear and you will have no problems. You will have a great time since I'm sure they have a fantastic atmosphire. College football games are a blast to see in person because they are often THE event in the college town hosting the game. However, you might want to avoid the student sections -just for your own sanity given he might be sitting there next year.
You can cancel now and get the full AF refunded. The 6k RR points are yours to keep. You can cancel via secure message if you prefer, over calling.
Thanks! Yes, the Texas game. I was able to book the Home2Suites in Tuscaloosa. I stayed at the Embassy Suites in July but it is sold out and H2S had rooms going for $1100 a night or 60k. Probably the best Hilton redemption never. So it will be a bit of a hike but so would on-site parking.
We did RCCL Med this summer from Barcelona and had an AMAZING trip. We are still talking about it 3 months later. We saw many families with young kids on the ship. If you go during the summer be prepared for the heat. It feel like you didn’t leave FL. We were lucky it was only in the mid 90s during our visit to Pompeii. The next week was in the 100s and there is no shade there.
Is this the week of Thanksgiving or the week before? If it's the week of Thanksgiving, there's a decent chance that the professor will cancel the class. It's possible it's already on the syllabus as cancelled. I'd ask your son to check the syllabus and maybe book a cancellable backup in case the class doesn't get cancelled, but after four kids I'd say odds are good that the class will be cancelled if it's the week of Thanksgiving.
Oh yuck that heat doesn’t sound fun. We aren’t for sure we’ll go unless we can get a direct flight from somewhere in Florida. We looked at flights to Rome and didn’t see anything. I didn’t look at Barcelona though. It’s good to know you loved it!
My son just moved there for grad school. It’s a beautiful campus, which if you visited you already know that. We’re not football people but my son looked into student tickets for friends that are and even those are incredibly expensive. I don’t really have helpful advice on the game. Just chiming in since I was there a couple weeks ago. We ate at Another Broken Egg on the river for brunch and it was good food and nice scenery.
Ok you got me interested.... I have a tentative plan for a couple of nights at Niagara falls for the eclipse dates...... I haven't been there in years, the hotel I found is across the Canada border so I guess I can dust off my passport.....
does anyone know how much time I have to cancel to get the full AF refunded. It was billed 9/1 and the statement closes 9/16. Can I wait until after it closes so I get the points I earned this month?
Tuesday before--I'll ask him to double check. My daughter at Georgia Tech has never had a Tuesday class canceled but this is a new school.
You need to set your statement CLOSING date to the 1st of the month. This way your statement will close on December 1st, giving you from Dec 2nd to 4th to finish your MSR and have the points to post in January.
