Re: Policies on cancellation of plane tix and how late to buy

I was chatting with my travel agent friend and mentioned this trip and she said that with a stay longer than 30 days you will end up with published airfare somewhere between $650.00 and $750.00. She doesn't think the swine flu is going to be that much of a threat to your daughter's travel, not by Au...

Re: Policies on cancellation of plane tix and how late to buy

I would suggest working with a professional travel agent, who can tell you what's going on with the travel insurance options and what the various airlines will and won't do for you. But by August this swine flu thing will be over and done until September.

Re: dave matthews played raleigh last night,& jimmy 2nite mmm??

Did you miss my statement: "That being said, I do respect the opinion of those who do not care for his music, and to another poster's point, you do not need to be a musician to know what you like in terms of music." My point has nothing to do with the ability to listen to music and develo...

Re: Jimmy Buffett farewell tour in 2010?

I remember going to see George Harrison in 1974 and when the house lights came up at intermission there was a thick cloud of pot smoke hovering mid-way between the floor and ceiling of the arena. And I can remember being a Jethro Tull show in the late 70's when a guy kept standing up on his chair bl...

So once again, I extend my apologies to any of those offended by my posting. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I respect that. But, if anyone still thinks he "sucks" after reading this post, which clarifies my views, talk to me after you have several multi-platinum albums and you...

Sidestep is the same as Kayak, as they are the same engine with slightly different GUIs.

Re: I'm thinking about buying a Macbook

Thank you for explaining that to me. I was sitting here going why pay for an extended warranty that you won't ever use because the machine keeps on running. I didn't realize that it included the extra service.

Re: Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz?

For simple trips I've been known to use any and all. I also like Kayak as a search tool but not as a place to book the travel. What I dislike about all 3 of these online travel agencies is the lack of service when there is a problem, be it weather related or anything else, my experience is that you ...

Re: I'm thinking about buying a Macbook

I have a Mac and a PC at home and I use them for different applications. Anything video/music/graphic is done on the Mac, networking, work related stuff and gaming is on the PC. I'm really curious about the frequency of the comment "buy the extended warranty", if Macs are so much more reli...

Third, be sure to point out that you only get drunk when going to job fairs or Buffett sh...

Re: Your Birthday = Discuss

Last year my birthday was spent in Boise with a bunch of belly dancers. One of my daughter's troupes was performing in Boise, so I drove up the day before my birthday, with the three youngest dancers in the troupe. I spent the weekend hauling them around, taking them out to eat and making sure that ...

Re: Jimmy's Still Doing the Rhumba, Baby!!

I love the way Jesse dances when he does it however my favorite version is still Rhumba Girl by the late, great Nicolette Larson. She introduced me to this song years ago when she opened for someone at the Salt Palace and then came over to the Zephyr Club in SLC and did an entire show. She was so sw...

Re: Is it just me or is RM seriously screwed up at the moment?

I think that there are three broadcasts going out at once. If this keeps up much longer my brain will explode. It won't be much of an event given how small it has become recently. :o :lol:
