So much has happened

So much has happened that I couldn't possibly put it in one blog. I did spend three weeks in California. It was originally supposed to be 2 but with everything that needed to get done, I spent an additonal week. I have to tell you that US Airways was a pain in the butt. I wanted to change my ticket to one week later, the same flight, etc... thought I would only have to pay the $150 change fee, but no they said it was the change fee plus the difference in price which would have made the one way ticket over $275 more than I paid for the roundtrip. So after hassling over the internet with their Customer Relations department which has no phone number-you can only e-mail them I just booked on another airline. Got a $159 fare on American, flew from San Jose to Orange County then directly to Chicago and it was a far better flight. They had a movie, two beverage services on the flight an audio system (which was was disabled on US Airways now). All in all it was a great decision and probably the last time I will fly US Airways. In fact, I was booking my daughter's flight to Madrid using United Miles and they wanted to put her on US Airways coming back and I said no. So now she is going and coming on Lufthansa which is known for its service. (Can you tell I'm still pissed off and its been over a month).

The good news is I did participate in the design contest, but with the demands in California (I never realized how time consuming designing is) I only was able to make the deadline on two rounds. The plus is, I have decided to give away the two kits as freebies in the next few days. Would love to have your feedback on kits and it you want to link me to any LO's you do with the kits, I would love to show them off to everyone.

Anyway, more to come tomorrow. School gets out on Wednesday, so no more teaching and then summer vacation. YEAH!
