That sounds very nice! And glad that you have had good luck with weather in February. It was been over 10 years since we went that time of year. But with Orlando you never know what the weather is going to be like!
) Any other Hilton's I should consider that might be more central to site seeing the rest of LA?
I emailed them awhile ago in October or September with no luck so I'll have to try again. Thanks for sharing! I can't remember the exact date we were in the park, but they should be able to see that.
I think for the most part. It is like a regular travel agency.
Dh and I started looking at cruise options for 2021. We're thinking summer and want to do Norway/Scotland/Iceland if we can get them all on the same cruise. Dh is still not sure about doing a cruise. He thinks he'd rather fly there and stay. I think cruising would allow us to see more ports without traveling a bunch on our own with a baby. So far, I'm seeing MSC as a good option for a cruise line.
I had to file with Alamo, but I also had to notify Chase what happened within 10 days of the incident to qualify for the credit card coverage from the CSR. Chase uses a 3rd party to handle claims, so then I had to open a claim online with that company within 100 days, and I have up to a year to submit documents for the claim.
So far, Alamo is claiming they haven't received a bill from the body shop yet for the repair (incident was June 1). I called in July for an update, and was told they give themselves a 90 day window to get paperwork from the body shop. I called in September and was told they would request a bill from the body shop. When I called last month, the rep said she would send out a 2nd request for the bill and if there wasn't one they would close out the claim. I called last week, and that rep said she would send out a 3rd request for the bill and if there wasn't one they would close out the claim. I told her that's what the last person told me. Oh no, ma'am, it's only after the 3rd request that they could close out the claim for no response.
Hey! A little church with online giving!! My church doesn't use Paypal but they take everything but Amex. Not too helpful when I am working on an Amex spend but it's great when meeting a spend@wendow apparently my tiny home church does have online giving! Maybe it is they PayPal!
I'm starting to plan a trip to LA in April so DH can check the Dodgers and Angels stadiums off his list, and of course to go to DL. I have a couple of logistical booking questions since this is my first trip using points :
Can I say I'm super pumped that we are even discussing this after DH said we couldn't do Disney again for a long time due to the cost. I so appreciate all the help I've gotten the last few months starting this CC journey!
- DH and I are covering our flights with travel credit on our Southwest accounts, but we're both working to earn our CP benefit early next year so we can claim our 2 oldest kids as our companions when we fly. We had enough RR points between us to book RT tickets for our youngest, but that drained the small amount of points we each had. Should I use points to book our older 2 kids once our first batch of RR post from our first CC bonus in Januaryish, or are we fine to wait and book them once we reach the milestone to earn CP?
- Rent a car in LA? We plan to be there 5 days and do DL 2 days, hit both LA baseball stadiums, and other random site seeing. I know LA traffic is notoriously bad, but I have no idea about what the public transit is like out there either.
- Any recommendations on Hilton hotels in LA? I was looking at the options near DLR, but not sure if there is anything else worth splurging on. We have a free weekend night, so I could book a super fancy room with that at the Anaheim Hilton for one night, and a standard room the rest, and maybe hope diamond status keeps us in the same fancy room all 4 nights (possibly wishful thinking
Seriously though, I would do some research on MSC because whilst I have never sailed them - I have also heard plenty mixed reviews which if I was to generalise - I would say folks who are new to cruising or have only cruised low-end cruise lines tend to be happy with MSC, whereas folks who have previously sailed with Princess/RCCL/Carnival etc tend to be less satisfied.
I actually didn't even read any reviews yet. The main reason I was looking at them was because they were on the list of top 5 baby friendly cruise lines on a blog I was reading. They're partnered with Chicco so have lots of baby essentials on board and a good nursery. They are cheaper which might be why the reviews aren't so good. I think any cruise line will be hard for us since we've only done DCL.First time I have heard MSC described as a good option.
Spend some time on cruisecritic.com and look at the reviews for the specific ship you would be sailing.
