Resortgirl | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 04:43 am     Monkeyboy, We aren't arriving until Friday though... what is Saturdays weather supposed to be? Thanks!! |
Reader234 | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 07:57 am     Resortgirl, ginger is supposed to be good to settle the tummy!! Ginger snaps, ginger candies... Dont forget all your morning routine stuff, that last minute primping made me forget to pack my curling iron!! |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 01:21 pm     I have one more question. I have a carry on that is the standard 9x14x22. When packed it's more like 10 inches deep... will they let me carry it on? If it were going to be warm for SURE, I could get it back down to 9 inches...LOL!! p.s. thanks reader.... I will try that. I have packed everything but the kitchen sink and forgot my shampoo or blow dryer before. I will be checking carefully this time. |

Resortgirl | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 01:28 pm     NO PURSE???? |
Kaili | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 01:28 pm     United had the same dimensions listed so I would go under the assumption that they are all the same. So soon! Have fun! |
Kaili | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 01:29 pm     Well, yeah. A purse is okay Maybe they just figure people consider their purse as a wallet and they won't ban that. LOL |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 01:36 pm     My purse is rather large....lol!! I plan on putting my cosmetics and curling iron in there.... hahaahah |
Kaili | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 01:47 pm     More than everything you want to know about what you can and can't take, what (not) to wear to not beep, etc...I think you'll do good, Resortgirl, but just in case you have any doubts...

Karuuna | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 03:02 pm     RG - you are generally allowed two carryons, one of which can be a purse. I always have my little suitcase carryon, and a purse or small backpack. The only time I had trouble with my carryon not fitting anywhere was my flight back from Austin. It was a tiny plane, I swear, and my carryon (same size as yours) would not fit overhead or underneath. They did take it from me when it wouldn't fit and did some kind of special check where they also handed it back to me as I got onto the runway ramp to exit the plane. |
Spygirl | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 07:50 pm     RG, Kar is talking about planeside check. You can carry on your bag (within those dimensions above...though I know I've had carry-ons that weighed more than 40 pounds). In the cases when the small planes can't accommodate the carry-ons, they will take it from you just before you get on the commuter plane and stow it underneath for you. Then they will hand it back to you when you get off. I haven't checked bags in over a year after learning about that! |
Resortgirl | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 12:22 am     ARG!!! I can't sleep!! I have to "be" up in 2 hours!! I'm sippin tea and hoping that I can fall back asleep for at least another hour!! Hi Karin!! See you in 12 hours!! |
Wargod | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 12:42 am     You're going to be exhausted tomorrow night, RG! I hope you can get a little nap in before you have to get up. I hope you guys have a great time in Phoenix. |
Whoami | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 01:03 am     Have a good time ladies! And make sure you report back with pics of Sven! Oh, ok, pics of you too will be fine! |
Resortgirl | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 01:15 am     I give up! Maybe I'll sleep on the Minneapolis to Phoenix flight. I have to drive to Fargo and fly from there to Minneapolis, but it's only an hour flight so I doubt I'll sleep then... In the meantime I'll catch up with my TVCH reading! And if I can snap a pic of a hot masseuse for ya Who, I certainly will!!! |
Resortgirl | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 01:40 am     Oh and this is good news!! The track of the storm will determine who ends up with enough snow to shovel and plow and who will just end up with a lot of cold air. It has the potential to produce over a foot of snow in parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin, the question mark of course is where. Well, darnit anyway! No wonder I can't sleep! |
Karuuna | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 06:56 am     Yay! I'm on my way! |
Karuuna | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 03:03 pm     Yay! We're here! We took a limo from the airport and rode in style to the resort. The hotel is beautiful, and luxurious! We've made our spa appointments for tomorrow, and we're already raiding the mini bar! Flights were uneventful and RG refused to buy food on the flight. She couldn't believe they charge you extra now! Stay tuned, pics to come! |
Karuuna | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 03:09 pm     Okay, a toast to us and all of you!! (This is what we look like when we've only gotten 5 hours of sleep!)

Texannie | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 03:27 pm     They charge for food??? Ya'll look like you are having a great time! |
Egbok | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 03:36 pm     How fun!!! Hmmmm...if I jump in my car right now and drive for about 5 hours, I could just make that spa appointment...LOL! Have fun girlies!! I absolutely love it!! Good for you!! |
