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 [...]

Friday Favorites: Yapta
November 5th, 2010 · No Comments
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. [...]

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
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. [...]
