Renting a car…

February 5th, 2011 · 1 Comment

So, after my cruise I did a one-way rental to the airport.  It was my first time renting a car.  Getting to my rental car was really easy-I used Budget, which picked me up at the port.  Checking into my car was easy-and I was off.  Once I got myself in the right direction, I [...]

This entry is part 19 of 27 in the series Friday Favorites

This morning, I logged into to check my e-mail and was greeted by a very welcome sight.  I had an e-mail from Yapta telling me my fare for my flight next month had gone down $24.  This is actually the second time I have gotten an e-mail from Yapta about the cost of my flight [...]

How to: Deal When your Vacation is Less than Magical

September 2nd, 2010 · 1 Comment

I had a good time on my Universal trip, obviously.  However, things weren’t all pixie dust and smiles.  While I won’t say that something went wrong on every trip, I do think that adult Disney fans need to ((cough put their big kid undies on and deal with it cough)) be prepared both offensively and [...]

Wizarding World of Harry Potter trip report, part 1.

August 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments

My bags were packed.  I was ready to go.  My mom drove me to Logan without incident.  I checked my bag.  I grabbed a snack at Starbucks, and settled down at my gate to surf the net before I boarded my plane.  In retrospect, this feels a little like the opening of Meet the Fockers. [...]

Friday Favorites: Orlando International Airport

June 11th, 2010 · 4 Comments

Or, as I refer to it, MCO.  My Friday Favorites come from all sorts of places-other people’s posts, holidays, TV.  This week’s comes from the hallows of my brain.  See, my pre-cruise stay is going to be in six months.  So on Wednesday I was thinking about how six months from then I’d be going [...]

Friday Favorites: JetBlue

April 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

This entry is part 7 of 27 in the series Friday Favorites

For this week’s Friday Favorite, I am discussing my favorite airline, JetBlue.  I first flew JetBlue six years ago, and since then they have been my airline of choice.  (I flew a legacy carrier who shall not be named in 2008, and felt like I was in steerage compared to JetBlue).  JetBlue’s seats are roomy, [...]

Trip Planning for my Cruise…updated 4/20

April 19th, 2010 · No Comments

As you may remember, I am taking my first Disney Cruise this December.  The eternally wonderful JetBlue opened their flights through January 4 today, so I book my ticket.  Can I just say how awesome it is that I got roundtrip airfare for $260? Anyway, I’m flying in the Thursday night before my cruise, then [...]

Getting there may not be half the fun…

March 13th, 2010 · 5 Comments

As a Disney vacation is pretty darn fun, but getting to Disney World (or Disneyland*) can be fun too.  I am a firm believer in flying.  Sure, you have to squish your liquids into a ziploc, and get there ahead of time, but in exchange you get a TV at your seat and no traffic. [...]
