    U of A in Tucson and she is not the party type, at least not yet. She is a very serious student, unlike her dad in his college days.

    This is a fun app I use to keep track of my travels. I'm always looking to add new counties. Then I wonder things like, I have been to Hong Kong, does that count as China? Also we drove through Belgium and stopped to pee, does that count? I decided no on China and yes on Belgium. Anyway love to see other people's maps if you guys get around to do this.

    Delta is finally getting around to compensating me for our debacle of trip to Italy in May. To recap they delayed our flight to Paris, which made us miss a connection and caused us to miss an entire day at our destination and then the lost our luggage for 4 days, when get finally got the luggage mine was broke. On the way home they changed planes at the last second, which meant they had 1/2 as much premium seats available, so we were downgraded to standard coach for an 11 hour flight at premium pricing. I did get a partial refund on the ticket but I had to ask for it. We chose premium seats for a reason though, my father is old and has mobility issues and we are both pretty tall, so to be downgraded for that leg was pretty tough to deal with.... we really needed that space, it took days for my dad to recover. Anyway looks like Delta is finally getting around to their backlog of complaints because I got some emails this last week and so far have $750 (each) in various flight credits now. I saved receipts for clothes I bought in the first 4 days so, Ill have another $200 or so coming to me. Moral of the story is to always file a complaint when you have issues, be mindful of how you word things because they have limits and some discretion on how much you get. Also, always save recipts when the lose your baggage, you get reimbursed and they count on people not knowing that, its a great time to go shopping.

    Planning a 2-week road trip for next Fall. We rent a vehicle in Denver, then on to Jackson Hole, Tetons, and Yellowstone. On up to Banff. Coming back we'll get to Deadwood (my Uncle was once Mayor of Deadwood) and Mt. Rushmore. etc. Then back to Denver.

    WE LOVE ROAD TRIPS!!

    Any good sites for last minute deals? I have time off Oct 1-5, looking to go somewhere for a good deal. Not trying to spend too much.

    Keeping in mind its still technically hurricane season in the atlantic/gulf.

    Options so far:

    Playa del Carmen
    Cabo
    Hawaii (flights were kinda expensive so we scrapped)
    Miami/Florida Keys
    Boston/New England/Salem (haloween vibes)

    After Rushmore as you head south check out the wind caves and the mammoth museum in hot springs SD. Both worth stops.
