Is this flat water tubing or are there rapids? I've gone tubing on rapids and probably wouldn't do it again because having your behind dragged over rocks is rather painful.:eek: On the other hand, white water rafting is :-:.

My dad is very sick, but he is too stupid and my mom too stupid to take him to the ER; he does have a dr. appt tomorrow :rolleyes:

BL JR is sick again. I've managed to stay well, knock wood.

We're actually done with move #1. Have three left, so there is a shred of sanity. :) Got bounced out of the mister's rent house when it was sold so had to move real quick.

We're building a home so will have to move again in 4 or 5 months. This doesn't include my current home (on the market) that will have to be moved into a storage facility and then moved into the new house when ready.

So maybe not four "full fledged" moves - but it's going to be a bunch more packing and $$$ to have all the crap carted around the city.

Most of the stuff from the other rental house is in boxes. We've decided it is in our best interest to eat off of paper plates, etc, while in this temporary establishment just so we don't have to deal with digging through all the boxes.

How to solve a Continental problem

1. Call.
2. Realize the person on the phone isn't going to help you.
3. Hang up.
4. Call back.
5. Finally solve the problem.

DEFINITELY head down town and get a room there. The tube will get you to Knightsbridge or downtown in fairly short order (40mins) and the fare is relatively cheap. If you can get an Oyster card for traveling around the city which will include the fare from Heathrow if need be. You can get a decent rate in London right now on hotels.

The tube starts early enough in the morning to get you back to Heathrow in time for your flight. You won't have to worry about you bags at all, just lugging them up/down the caverns of the tube stations.

The Matrons at IAD do tend to think they own the place. Stick to your guns next time and hit ALL the lounges for drink chits and wireless cards....you can get a great collection going if you transit through ORD :D 5 lounges (including IFL) nets you a tidy 10 drink chits and 5 wireless cards.
