Seems like you'd spend your med cruise picking up refugees on humanitarian grounds at this time.

Carl,
Airline discounts are available, for example: Dargal Interline Worldwide ? Discount Vacations for Airline Employees ? Viking Cruises
The rates are substantially higher than for ocean cruises, but we really enjoyed a similar cruise on the Columbia River out of Portland.

Agree. We did Mexican riviera and it was nothing but a massive food fest with high pressure diamond sales and crappy odds blackjack in between.

GS Trigger question:
I am one hour below the GS trigger and was awarded a GS. The pay for the trip equals 10:30 in the activity section of time card and the GS pay part shows 9:30.
I believe this means I will only receive 20 hours of "total" pay instead of the 21? I understand I can use my bank but I am negative 30, so thats Moot.
Just want to make sure I get "some" of the GS pay, instead of nothing until I hit the GS trigger. Thinking it's a equal reduction in GS pay for each hour underneath the trigger….
experts?

[BTW, thanks for the golden days post. I am on reserve for November after holding a line since March, totally forgot about golden day bidding ./QUOTE]
Mike, I've been bidding on RES for quite some time now. There are some benefits to the golden days, but honestly, I've actually never had an X day violated. I don't even bother bidding the golden days anymore. They will show up randomly on your schedule if you do not bid them FYI.

Wife and I did a cruise on Un-Cruise in Alaska. It's pricey but everything included (booze, gourmet food, activities). What's nice about Un-Cruise is they use smaller boats (40 to 88 passengers). Check out their web site for all the locations they cruise (Alaska, Hawaii, Galapagos. Sea of Cortes etc). Un-Cruise.com

I wanted to relay a cautionary tale I have just endured.
I wrote a check to pay a bill that I did not want going through my bill payer system. That check was stolen out of my mailbox Monday night or Tuesday morning. The thieves tried to wash the check and cash it Thursday afternoon. Wings Credit Union called me almost immediately after it happened. The teller was new, but something didn't feel right, so she called her supervisor over, and called me. It had the same check number as the one I put in the mail, a signature that resembled mine, and the check had all of the right fraud features including the embossed texture.
Wings locked my account until I could get into a branch the next morning. they opened a new account, transferred the funds, linked all my ATM cards, and reimbursed the money they paid to the crooks. All before noon the following day.
When I got back into town on monday, I went to my local branch to give them a copy of the police report I filed, they said someone tried to cash another check on Friday. They delayed him long enough to call the police. They had it all on video and the idiot used his real name, gave them his SSN, DOB... everything.
I am thankful for stupid criminals, but I am even more grateful to the sharp people at Wings Financial for not only being smart enough to catch a forged check, but for fantastic customer service. They ordered new checks for me, but I am using bill payer from now on!
Lets stay safe out there!

Similar thing happened to me, sort of....
Used my DCCU card 5 places in ATL last week and by Friday someone was running around Atlanta buying stuff, obviously with a "ghost" card cuz I had the real card in my mitts!
If I had to guess, I'd say it was the ahole db's at Fresh To Go who ran with it!
Be careful out there!
