Hi again

So it's been a while since my last post. Things are very quiet out here in california. It's hot so we've been staying around the house. Trying to save some cash for the may trip.
I had a beef with disney. They raised the rate of the cruise under the guise of government taxes. I don't feel that they raised it fairly, seems they'll be getting an additional 200K out of us passengers..but my TA, Dreams Unlimited, also thought it was unfair of disney and handed out an additional 200 OBC (on board credit) so thats cool. It wasn't enough of an increase to make me cancel, but it put a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't want to say never, but I think I am done with disney after this cruise and going to head back to RCCL. Their prices are less, they have more itineraries available and they also have a kids club. The only drawback is their kids club is not open on port days, but oh well...it's no biggie.
My sister and I are planning an Alaska trip for summer 2009 and I think I want to do a cruise for my 40th. Since it's right around the corner..well a year away but still.
We'll see how the finances go.
Taylor is ready to start 4th grade. She has her last week of regular summer camp this week and then we'll see what we do with her for the next 2 weeks. I will take a week off and we'll hang around. I'm hoping to get some housekeeping done. I need to paint and finish my kitchen. Otherwise, she'll probably end up at tennis camp or horse camp. Tennis is less, so I like that one better.
Hope all of you are having a fabulous summer. I'm ready for the school year to start, the faster it starts the faster our next vacation arrives.
