nope. hobby is a declarative stand alone sentence, with ending punctuation. well starts the beginning of it's own sentence with proper punctuation.

hee hee! I got a new question, I feel so needy here lately, hope I am not taking up too much space here. We are going to Orlando Feb 16 thru feb 24, we can not find a good deal on airfare or rental car for that week. Latest deal was 538.00 per person (x3 =1614.00)for flight/car. It is killing me to pay that just to get there. There has to be better deals. Bill has searched travelosity/cheap tix/expedia and that is best he can find. I am hoping I didnt pick the most expensive week of the year to fly there. Anyone know of a site that we can get a good deal.

Are you booking hotel and flight together? Sometimes you can get a better deal that way.

I've run some info thru our Canadian site and I can get you from San Diego to Orlando on feb 15 - 24 th for $295 return a person only ONE stop in Dallas on American Airlines. Even when you convert that to USA funds, it is pretty good. I chose san diego as I couldnt tell where Riverside really was in CA on a map. http://www.expedia.ca/pub/agent.dll?tovr=-1294657289&ps3u= from Orange County http://www.expedia.ca/pub/agent.dll?qryt=2&tovr=-1294657289&ps3u=

yep, If you want to fly from LAX there arent the good rates. I have no idea of whether any other airports are a possibility. Sometimes driving an extra hour might be worth the savings...but then again Its california. An hour is barely driving down the road...you dont get far in distance LOL

Very true.. I prefer to fly out of Long Beach or Orange County, but if Southwest is the carrier of choice for the destination city, they never have the best fares out of OC because of the flight restrictions there. So.. when I went to Nashville, Southwest had a big sale going from San Diego and I did fly out of there! But it certainly is a PITA to have a 90 mile drive to and from the airport. In that case the San Diego flight was cheaper than LAX (where I never go to fly, just to pick up and drop off people) or Ontario. Sounds like the timeshare will be a good thing for you, Pamy!

Yeah, but I figure my time is money. And spending almost two hours to drive to an airport where I may save $100 on a flight isn't really a savings for me. (Plus, figure in gas and parking fees.) Then again, I rarely ever gripe about airfares.

LOL Sun, that's the truth about driving here! LOL could take 20 min one day and 2 hrs the next I hear ya about driving far to airport. I had to weigh drive further to airport OR go non stop....Non stop won (LAX is about an hour on a good day/2hrs bad and Ontario is less than 30 min) We actually decided to leave Fri nite around 11 pm, so the drive should be fine that late. Some of the stop flights were over 7 hrs travel time, one was 11 hrs yikes!! Sea, the timeshare is amazing..it sleeps 8 has 2 kitchens and the property has 3 pools and tons of fun stuff. My friend and 2 kids are comming to stay with us sat-mon but rest of time its just Bill, me, and Dylan.

Pamy, you just know I have to ask: Why does a condo or house have 2 kitchens?

its a timeshare that sleeps 8 adults, I assume thats why. LOL Apparently there is a door in there that you can close and it makes it like 2 separate apt/condos. I will take pics and post in my folder. I am anxious to see it also. I cant even remember what place its at to look online <guess I better get the info from friend/old boss soon, I gave her the $$ months ago) ps..we have 2 kitchens at our house. Our house sold as a 5 bedroom but technically the 5th bedroom is the back guest house. (which is size of a small 1 bedroom apt/ or studio)
