With just over a month to go until we leave there have been a few more changes to the plans and a couple more purchases to make the trip complete.
A couple of weeks ago I put QVC on and noticed that their Todays Special Value was the Archos 7 multimedia tablet at a pretty good price. I had been looking at these for a while and, although I had decided I could make do with my 705, I couldnt resist QVCs offer. Dad saw it too and as a result we each own a shiny new toy:
Dad has already started filling his with music and videos and I will be doing the same over the weekend.
Ever since I had been unable to get the baseball tickets I wanted I had been checking TicketMaster and Stubhub for cheap tickets but nothing suitable had come up. In the end I decided that I really didnt want to miss the game and that if I went for the first or second row of the upper tier it wouldnt really be so bad. I did some searching around the net and found two tickets for row B in the upper tier and decided to buy them as my treat to Dad, since he pays for everything else. The tickets arrived this morning and so the baseball game has been inked into the plans.
As I was browsing the net last night I came across the concert schedule for Mardi Gras and noticed that Kelly Clarkson was appearing on Saturday March 28th. I am a fan of hers and, although I wanted to go, the date sounded familiar. When I looked at our itinerary I found that it is the same day as the baseball game that I had finally got tickets for. I debated for a while and then decided that as the game should be finished by 4:00 and the Mardi Gras parade isnt until 8:00 with the concert following after we could do both and so I bought two Mardi Gras tickets, which are again my treat.
The final purchase, which also arrived today, is the new Passporter for 2009.
I have bought one of these for each trip so far and always buy the deluxe edition so that I get a complete new binder and can keep the old ones intact. The reason I like the Passporter so much is for these
the daily pockets which hold my park map and itinerary card for each day and keep receipts safe for when I am doing the trip report at the end of the day. I normally end up losing the pen from them though so I am hoping to complete a whole trip with the same pen this time.
I had also been considering a
zipline safari but since they need to be reserved in advance and we already have so much reserved I am going to save that for another time.
The other bonus since I last updated is that I read that people were getting locked out of Virgins website because of flight changes again. I checked the website and, sure enough, there was a message that our flight time had changed but, since we booked direct with Virgin Atlantic this year, I was given the option of ticking a box to confirm I was aware of the change and I was allowed into the site. While I was in there I noticed that the seat map was available for our outbound flight so I decided to have a look at what was available. There were only two seats available two seats which hadnt been available when we booked my favourite two seats, 80H & K. They arent available anymore!
And so, save for any unexpected changes, that is pretty much it until we go away. I will be back in a few weeks for a single digit dance.
