Originally Posted By FenwayGirl yes, there are definate advantages to being a young grandparent. We still have enough energy to chase them around and really enjoy them! As for 39 Bobblee...I work in an environment where most of our managers are in their late 30's and mid 40's before they have children. So, you were ahead of your time

Tomorrow I turn 56(sliding down the hill towards 60), & the day after we're in single digits till our trip. Couple that with 4 days off from work(I actually only work 3 more days before vaca) and you've got one happy jkayjs!

Originally Posted By jkayjs Thank you Nikki. Well believe it or not we're back to leaving on Fri the 12th. The flts are down(what a surprise) so we won't need to go the day before after all. So we DO get to use our DME tags. I'm not complaining because the price is certainly right. That being said the reason the flt in more available now is of significant concern to us. We better hope ole' Tink spreads some Pixie Dust over this failing economy! BTW had a wonderful birthday and life is good.

Not having to fuss with your luggage, and checking it in at the resort when you leave was wonderful.
