I hear ya! Seeing all the heavy food that they dined on -- certainly didn't help!:rolleyes:

Safe travels!^

The deep freeze has been incredibly :rolleyes: this year but I think we've only had about 10-11" inches of snow all year and before today's dusting, you could see the grass. Definitely haven't had any play time in the snow.:(

This winter has definitely been a bit different -- who would've guessed that they'd have to truck in snow for the V'couver Winter Olympics!:eek::rolleyes:

So, when picking up my car at Avis the other day, I noticed on the manifest it had a comment along the lines of "Max 2 class upgrade". Anybody have any insight as to why that may be there?

that generally means, if you go intermediate, they won't give you a caddy

My mother just spent 15 minutes of my life attempting to get from the Jersey Shore to King of Prussia with Google Maps, because she finds it difficult to use.

She has a GPS.

I have tried to teach my mother how to use GPS, but it just aint gonna happen. Instead, she prints out google maps directions and reads them as she is driving :-:

For the time being, I've secured a discounted rate at the Sheraton through other means. :cool:

Though, the $87/night rate at the aloft Domain is looking very tempting, though that would require the rental of a car...

I know visibility is low right now, but the video quality of NJDOT's traffic cameras is beyond awful. :rolleyes:

I got it for $103 on AAA. There are five or six different Marriott properties next door to each other and some of them are even cheaper.

My mother is capable of inputting stuff into a GPS unit, but when the device takes her on a route unfamiliar to her or elects an option that she does not know (like, I dunno, the AC Expressway - :rolleyes:) she immediately loses all patience and calls me, saying that the GPS is somehow wrong.

Her: "I'm at X kinda near Y after having left Z. Can you get me home?"
Me: You own a GPS. Are you using it?"
Her: "Yes. I didn't like what it told me so I stopped listening to it."
Me: "And now you're lost."
Her: "Not lost, just misplaced."
Me: "Would you be lost had you listened to what The Voice (her name for the GPS) was telling you?"
Her: "That's beside the point."
