i don't have pets - but my mom and my sister have 5 dogs between them ... they're my fur-sibligs!

oh, i also LOVED the boat architecture tours ... i forget the name of the company, but if you're interested, I can ask paul - he'd remember. it goes down the river and points out some very interesting things! paul was raised there, and still learned a ton!

Do you like fondue? My all time favorite fondue restaurant is in Chicago - Geja's! And it's super romantic, and they have a great wine list as well. Ahhhhh ... maybe I will join you! lol

I think you will find that most girls on this forum that had their wedding at a resort didn't get charged for outside vendors. I know my location certainly didn't (it wasn't a resort though). They had vendors available to me, and if I chose to use them, great, if not, then there was no additional costs or fees. As for this comment, "I don't know what you hope to get out of a BOYCOTT?" I think the answer is pretty clear. We hope to get them to change their policies. Simple as that!

Oh, and for one additional statistic ... you all have lost a total of 116.7 lbs ... and that's a 3.866% loss! WOOHOO! (and that's with the 4 people missing the weigh in!)

For all that are interested ... I just posted the weekly winner! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...-99#post347836

i think the first Wed in May! Have you seen the new thread? I've already had people sign up and pay the entry fee!

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan $10 in flight movie they don't charge for this yet (that i know of!) but many airlines do charge for the headphones ... and some have "special" outlets so you can't use your own! (US Airways, I think)

oh, you joke ... but Paul needed a receipt for his recent flight (a week ago) and couldn't get it online. He called Continental and they charge $25 for a receipt if the travel is in the past! WTF!?

I'm missing about 1/2 of the entries still for today ... where are you my little BDW participants?! lol

NWA and United does this already! i'm sure all airlines will eventually - ugh.

yay - CONGRATS!! who is it?

oh right, we've been planning it for weeks now!

now i want ice cream!

Ok, I'm going to avoid this thread ... I recorded Biggest Loser and haven't watched it yet and I am afraid to find out more! lol

i saw that popemobile on tv yesterday - goofy looking thing!

I often use priceline - you can name your own price! What I do is check out average prices on sites like Orbitz, Expedia, etc. and then go lower than that on Priceline.
