Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Has anyone been following the changes in the travel industry? Apparently one airline is charging an extra $25.00 if you need to speak with someone when making your reservations. Is that sad or what? Other fees are for checking bags, food and drink, and use of blankets and pillows while flying. Good grief. Next, they'll be charging us to use the bathrooms. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

There are days when that is really worth it. $25 tho? Hum, that is another reason to stay at home, eh? The last time I traveled was in July and it was $15 for checking my bag. I thought that was enough...now I'm to way for a blanket? I think not! I thought I wanted to travel and do speaking...maybe not! _________________________ Love and light, hugs and blessings MamaRed (Jerilynne) www.mamaredspeaks.com www.onemillionacts.com Coming Summer 2009 "Kick-Butt Kindness: 52 No Cost Ways to Ripple Kindness 'Round the World" Let's create Kick-Butt-and-Take-Names Lives!

WEll, why aren't they going down now? Hubby just bought two tickets to Hawaii. He's taking our daughter this summer, but boy were the tickets expensive! I doubt they would come down in price, but it sure would be nice! _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

MustangGal Unregistered	See, that's the thing. Gas prices are declining; however, the past year's economic decline has so inclined companies to have not-so-good sales to make up for earlier losses. I believe these overpaid, fat cat, money spending, candied bottom, CEOs should give up their bonuses to get their companies out of financial ruin rather than us having to bail them out for their overindulgance and slothfulness. Like the SNL Skit with Amy and Seth. . . "Fix it. Identify another problem. Fix it! Repeat as necessary until it is all fixed!"

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	More people heading for Vegas again due to the lower $1.67 gas prices. California people drive here for the holidays and I am hearing many hotels are full already with reservations. I hope people don't start splurging again on gas because that will cause the prices to go up again due to demand. I am keeping my frugal driving plan in effect, how about you? _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/
