Originally Posted By danyoung >There is nothing worse then having to count and watch you money really close on a trip.< That is so true! I like to have a cushion of a few hundred, just like you. But sometimes the money just isn't there, and you have to do the math just about daily to make sure you have enough to pay for the whole trip. Sucks!

I don't know what bad experience you had with it but I wish I owned a water bottling plant to make money off people like you who have this grandiose idea that there is something magically about bottled water.

You don't even want to know what my stomach does if I slip up and forget while I'm down there. I'll be flying down in 10 days (OMG!), and can't bring water with me because TSA is lame. Does anyone know of any shops within walking distance of the Crosswalk that has larger bottles? It's going to cost a fortune to buy 5 days worth of DL's little bottles.

This was long before the bottled water craze, so our solution was to keep it chilled, and it tasted a bit better. The water has improved somewhat over the years, but is still pretty nasty in Anaheim. Count me in for the $3 bottle of water!

There might also be a local bus option, but I don't know the OC public transportation system well enough to say.
