Went to the travel expo yesterday and the travel agent was able to get the flights $200 cheaper than I could find. so $1620 each return on Hawaiian and also Internal mainland flights with Hawaiian.
I'm just going over the finer details but it's looking like
18th October Syd > Hawaii
25th October Hawaii > Vegas
18th November La> Hawaii
22nd November Hawaii> Sydney
The accommodation that they put together is wrong and way overpriced. So will be picking your brain Kee for where is good to stay in Hawaii.
No idea what to do or see in Hawaii, and will be sans kids as they don't want to miss school. I have the weirdest kids in the world.
We have a wedding to go to in Vegas so will have a week there to explore, then thinking of getting some cruises to the bahamas, mexico or something.
Another Kee question... What is the best port to cruise in and out of? I'm thinking Miami so then may need to factor in another internal flight or something....

Have posted the list straight away (hope you don't mind Jo) and updated your details Holidaysfor8 - thanks for the cyber hugs too!
You're on the list for the first time Jilly
Let me know if there's any other changes or additions and I'll update asap.
Becca: Cruises to the Bahamas etc tend to leave mainly from Florida - the Port of Miami and also Ft Lauderdale as well. You can see what cruises sail out of these ports in the months you are there on VacationsToGo to get an idea of what your choices are.
As for places to stay in Hawaii (Waikiki only?), what are the criteria you want your accommodation to meet? Budget? There's heaps of options but it depends what you are looking for exactly.

THose of you who have booked the Affina Manhattan, what do think about the reviews that say it is noisy?
I am thinking of jumping on the bandwagon and booking there but am not sure about noise? We are used to silence at night.
Is is just the case everywhere is going to be noisy in manhattan, or is it an overreaction by reviewers?
We are going to be taking AMTRAK from Penn station to WAshington DC so the location looks very convenient for that.
Posted 12 February 2013 - 10:22 AM
regandrog - I have never been to NYC but from the reviews I've read about not only the Affinia Manhattan but every other accom, and reviews about NYC in general ALL say that no matter where you are in Manhattan and most areas you will hear the sirens, city noises etc - thats why they say it never sleeps
Ive also read on various hotels that the noise level can vary with what side of the hotel your on, what floor etc etc so two families could be in the same hotel and have 2 totally different experiences lol
I read reviews on about 4 different sites about the AM and really the vast majority were very good - if you go back a bit you find complaints about the outdated furniture but they are before the revamp
We are paying a bit more than we really wanted to but at the end of the day the location is just awesome and I'm hoping that we will have so much fun during the day that by the time we crawl into the bed we won't hear a thing anyways hehe
When are you going over?
Posted 12 February 2013 - 10:28 AM
Holidaysfor8: Sorry, I completely forgot to answer your question about sending packages to the hotel. I've done this before and a lot of the other girls here have and basically we've all either called the hotel to let them know that things will be arriving in the lead up to your stay so can they just put them away for you until you get there or send an email to ask them the same thing. A good hotel will have your packages sitting in your room when you check in. When I buy online from US stores before a trip there, I just put the hotel address in the delivery address at the checkout. As long as you've let the hotel know before hand, they are generally fine with accepting packages for guests before your stay. Obviously not too far in advance, I tend to do a mad shop a week before I am due to arrive, knowing that most US post only takes a day or two to arrive at the hotel.
I'm doing my ESTA today just so I feel like I'm doing something for the trip. I feel like I've come to a stand-still lately because everything that can be booked has been and now there's nothing to do until July Makes for a very boring time indeed. I even have the e-tickets, boarding passes and baggage tags for the Easter cruise all done so that trip can't even side-track me from the long wait until the Hawaii trip. Perhaps I need to book another holiday completely??
Has the issues with Carnival Cruise Line and their stranded ship off Mexico put everyone off cruising? I hope not, I'm on the lookout for discounted Carnival cruises to Mexico now! lol Anywhere I can save a dollar is fine by me and I'd be the last person to complain about being stuck on a cruise ship for extra days!

Hi again!
This is a great thread! So glad I found you all at this exciting time!!
teejay- thanks for your welcome!! I think you were asking re accom? I have been to NYC once before 2 years ago and stayed at Hilton Garden Inn Times Square and we found that a great location and price. It was just my DH and i that time though and it was January so we only paid about $140 a night!! My SIL stayed at Milford maybe 3 years ago and they did not rate it. Not sure if it has changed though? This time around we are staying in the Doubletree Guest Suites in Times Square. We chose them by the reviews on Trip advisor and also the fact that they have a separate lounge area. Think we paid just over $300 a night which I think is good for just after easter? That is for 2A and 2C.
kee-in-hawaii -- please add me to the list!
March 29 - April 4: Vegas
April 5-12: NYC
April 12-16: Bahamas
April 16/17: NYC
holidaysfor8: sounds like we might be in NYC at same time?
Has anyone flown United to the states before (with kids)? We are and got our tickets for $1100 return including the flight to Vegas and NYC!! Pretty good I think??
Any advice on whether car seats are needed over there? (my kids will be 4 1/2 and 11 months).
I have been to Vegas and NYC a couple of years ago so might be able to help with other questions.This will be our first trip there with kids though!! Other trips I have been to San Diego, LA, San Fran, Minnesota, West Virginia, Phoenix. Think that is it.
With regards to $ in the past I have taken our visa debit cards (Bendigo Bank) and a regular visa (ANZ) and had no problems. Just use the VISA for bigger purchases and use the debit card to withdraw cash every few days from ATM (usually a good amount so I dont pay fees too many times).
When we were in NYC last time it was a blizzard and so good as there were no queues anywhere!! We bought NYC Pass and found it good for tours and tickets etc. We booked in advance to climb to the top of the Statue of Liberty! It was hard work!!
I noticed someone mentioned shuttles as a good option over there. Any recs for Vegas? Is Dial7 the one to use in NYC?

I got a quote from Flight Centre in the early days for the Affinia - and they reported back that the Affinia would be doing reno's which could also be noisy - we are planning on being there from the 30th March to April 4th. We'll be coming from DC at the end, so super convenient for Penn Station!

I haven't flown with United, however I DO know that if you do get a break from your kidlets for even a little bit, United don't have the personal entertainment system in the seats in front of you. They just have the swing down screens in the aisles throughout the plane.
Also - Dial 7 does indeed seem to be the recommended way to get from the airport to the hotel in NYC. Kee will happily tell you to NOT USE SUPER SHUTTLE!!!

I'm off to USA on 22nd March until 22nd April and then off again on June 7th for 16 days.
We are planning quite a bit. We have decided to drive from LAX up to sacamento area.
How anyone done this drive before, its looks pretty easy on the highway, I have driven over there quite a bit so not worried about the driving sides of things more the directions.
We also have booked a few days in Las Vegas in April. Staying at Luxor, one of those places I haven't stayed at.
Also thinking about driving back to LA a day or two before we fly out. Just waondering were would be a nice place to stay and something to do.
Also thinking about New York? any ideas of a nice hotel to stay at.
Cheers Anna

That happened to us too Becca. $1000.00 more for the same room via the agent! There was also a loading on all the shuttles etc so I've decided to book those myself. They did get our accommodation cheaper in Anaheim than what I could find though.

From the reviews I've read, I don't think there is a hotel in NYC that doesn't have noise issues. I'm hoping to crash in my bed every night too being a light sleeper.

Vin Crosbie | April 17, 2009 | Comments
The traditional era for media companies has become a three-act play. The carnage begins now, as we redefine what is media and what is news.
Despite its complication, a game of chess is basically a three-act play. So too is our current, transitional era for media companies.
The first act is known as the opening, and its purpose is to put the various chess pieces or actors in the best positions for the coming battle or drama. Then comes the middlegame, in which the various pieces attack, defend, and perform according to their best capabilities. This is generally the part of the game when pieces are disposed of, when most of the action takes place. Finally, there is the endgame, when not many pieces remain and in which one side or the other obviously becomes the winner.
In our transitional era for media companies, we're now into the middlegame. Media companies' jockeying for position is nearly done.
Three or four years ago, many of these companies didn't know where to make their stands. Now their battle lines, including what their chief executives are saying, are well-defined.
For examples, an alliance of NBC, Fox, Sony Pictures, and Warner Brothers has created a bastion called Hulu from which to battle Google's YouTube and others for the future of online television. And earlier this week, Steven Brill, the creator of Court TV and American Lawyer magazine; L. Gordon Crovitz, formerly publisher of The Wall Street Journal and a vice president of Dow Jones; and venture capitalist Leo Hindery, former chief of AT&T Broadband and the YES Network, announced they are constructing Journalism Online LLC, a Maginot Line (define) pay wall to allow newspapers to charge people for online content.
Meanwhile, Google's blitzkrieg continues. Like the German army in the opening and middle of World War II, Google isn't adhering to the traditionalist theories of how to battle. It doesn't keep to how things were done in the past. Instead, it operates according to how best to use new technologies.
Other pure-play companies are similarly using new media business strategies that have little or nothing to do with how traditionalist played this game in the 20th century. MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and others are redefining what media can be, even what news is.
Last month, guest speaker Ryan Sholin of Gatehouse Media, a newspaper chain, asked the 40 students in my graduate-school new media business class what media they used for news. Though consumers of news, most of my students were perplexed by the question, an interesting reaction at a media school.
Only two ventured answers: a newspaper student said "The New York Times" and a broadcast journalism student said CNN. A decade ago, a class might have all answered newspapers or TV news networks.
"OK," Sholin said, "How many of you check Facebook more than once per day?" All did. "Then that's your media and what your friends on Facebook are pointing to in the outside world is your news," Sholin declared.
Traditionalist professors at my media school were apoplectic at that. How can Facebook, a non-media company, be media, they asked. News isn't friends telling you things of mutual interest, they protested.
But Sholin is correct: your media is whatever you regularly use to get information and news is whatever satisfies your interests. Media and news aren't necessarily defined as things that only newspapers, magazines, broadcast stations and networks, or other traditional media companies produce. Go ask a high school or college kid.
So the battle lines are being drawn between opposing groups of companies and also according to radically different strategies and philosophies.
The opposing forces are polarized; the opening part of the game is over. Now the middlegame -- and the carnage -- begins on a grand scale.
I expect to see a large number of major media companies go out of business between now and 2015, many of them traditionalists -- companies that are still using outdated strategies and tactics. The public relations industry will likely adapt, as will the advertising industry, despite some wrenching changes. But the greatest carnage will be among legacy media companies. I hope that by 2015 the winners will be obvious.
The quicker it's over, the better for everyone. A long battle, a long game, suits no one. The quicker companies that are using the wrong strategies and tactics take stands, the quicker all media industries can build a new world from the rubble.

Between cold walls and in total solitude lives a man whose feelings and desires are suppressed by the strict routines of his daily life in a heartless society. Eventually he learns how to escape from his misery, but the road to personal liberty turns out to be diffcult to follow, and salvation is hard to achieve.

The American Red Cross highlighted
MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As part of USA TODAY's 25th anniversary celebration, USA TODAY concludes its "Spirit of the USA" 25- week charity program that highlights a different charity each week for 25 weeks.
The program began on March 30th and continued each Friday as USA TODAY thanked America for its support over the past 25 years by saluting the nation's generosity. USA TODAY has selected 25 charities and has celebrated the work of one charity per week for 25 weeks both in print and online via a signature USA TODAY Snapshot as well as on a special 25th anniversary web site on http://www.USATODAY.com.
The American Red Cross is the nation's partner in preventing, preparing for and responding to emergencies. Last year, the humanitarian organization led by almost a million volunteers, provided direct relief to victims of nearly 75,000 disasters; taught lifesaving skills and preparedness tips to millions of Americans; and helped U.S. service members separated from their families stay connected. Almost 4 million people gave blood through the Red Cross, the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States.
"We are honored to be a part of USA TODAY's 25th Anniversary campaign and would like to echo USA TODAY in thanking the American public for its generosity, which we rely on to fulfill our mission," said Mark W. Everson, president and CEO of the American Red Cross. "This is also an opportunity during National Preparedness Month to engage more people in becoming Red Cross Ready: to get a kit, make a plan and be informed."
Readers are encouraged to learn more about the American Red Cross by
viewing the Snapshot on today's front page of USA TODAY and on
http://www.USATODAY.com as well as by visiting

Apple Pie with Maple Whipped Cream
Classic apple pie has never tasted so good, with Fuji or Gala apples sliced and piled into a buttery crust, then served with a decadent whipped cream that's spun with maple pancake syrup.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Serves: 8
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- ½ c. sugar
- 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp. ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. each ground nutmeg and salt
- 6 Fuji or Gala apples
- 1 package refrigerated ready-to-bake pie crusts
- ¾ c. heavy (whipping) cream
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 3 tbsp. maple-flavor pancake syrup
- Place a foil-lined baking sheet on middle oven rack. Heat oven to 400°F. Have a 9-in. pie plate ready.
- Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Add apples; toss to coat.
- Line pie plate with crust as pkg directs. Add Filling, tucking in apples to fit. Top with remaining crust. Gently press edges together, turn under and flute or crimp if desired.
- Brush crust with some of the heavy cream; sprinkle with the sugar. Cut 4 slits on top of pie to vent.
- Bake on the foil-lined sheet 1 hour or until apples are tender when pierced through a slit, juices bubble and crust is golden brown. (If top browns too quickly, drape pie loosely with foil.) Remove to a wire rack to cool.
- Shortly before serving: Beat remaining cream and the pancake syrup in a medium bowl with mixer on high speed until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted. Serve pie at room temperature with the cream.

WordPress 3.9.0 introduced a nice little feature: You could drag media (e.g. images) right into the editor window when compsing (or editing) an article, without having to click the "Add Media" button first.
The matter at hand is, ever since I upgraded to 3.9.1, this nice to have feature has sadly been broken. I can no longer drag media in the editor window, because the "Drag to upload" window simply doesn't appear, and still dragging them there does nothing. So I have to click the "Add Media" button again every time I want to add an image etc. to the article, just as it was before 3.9.0.
It would be great if you could fix this, so you can upload media by dragging it into the editor window, as it was in 3.9.0, without having to click the "Add Media" button.
Finally, a request: If you upload media using the article composer media uploader (by clicking the "Add Media" button), you get a link to the file you just uploaded right after the upload.
However, if you use the media uploader from the left side panel (Media > Add file), you don't get a link. Instead, you must click the "Edit" link after the upload, for every single file! Especially if you uploaded several files at once, having to click the "Edit" link for every single one of them just to get the link for the file is a serious nuisance. Could you make it so that when using the media uploader from the left side panel, you get the link for the file right after the upload, without having to click the "Edit" link for every single file? That would be awesome!

Katherine Russell was a typical college student before she met Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
The daughter of an emergency room doctor, Katie, as she was called, grew up in a Christian household in North Kingstown, R.I., graduated at the top of her class at her high school in 2007, and said in her yearbook she wanted to go into the Peace Corps.
"The reason why I remember her is she was very nice and very smart," her North Kingstown High art teacher, Amos Trout Paine, tells the Associated Press. "She was ready to learn."
She is now known as the Boston Marathon bomber's widow.
Her husband, 26, and his younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, are suspected in the blasts that killed three people and injured hundreds. The subsequent manhunt for the perpetrators left a university policeman dead, Tamerlan killed, and Dzhokhar captured and charged.
Katie Russell, 24, now going by Katherine Tsarnaev, and her young daughter have retreated to Katherine's childhood home. She has not yet spoken with federal authorities, who want to question her about her husband's activities. But Tuesday she released a statement through her lawyers.

I was visiting the City for business and needed a place to stay in midtown near Grand Central (and within travel policy). I came across The Tuscany, read the great reviews, and booked it.
Upon arrival I was really blown away:
Staff: The front desk staff could not have been friendlier and everyone made sure we had an excellent stay - even just for the one night.
Rooms: The rooms were huge - not just for New York. I know it was recently renovated, but they did an incredible job with great bathroom amenities, a huge flat screen TV, plenty of outlets to charge all of my various electronics, and a very comfortable King bed.
Bar: Though we did not eat the hotel, the bar area was very nice with a friendly staff and a good drink selection.
Location: The location is perfect, especially if you are visiting midtown, and Grand Central is only a short walk away.

Posted by John Jacob, a health communications writer and editor at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Many of us become less active as we get older. So it's important to find ways to get out there and keep moving. Walking clubs are a fun, easy and free way to do just that. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Keep Moving Program organizes regional walks to support many walking clubs in the Commonwealth. This program gives people over 50 an opportunity to be active and social by working behind the scenes to put together walking clubs all over the state.
A recent walk at Castle Island in honor of Jan Marble, late director of the DPH Keep Moving Program
The Keep Moving program offers trainings on the nuts and bolts of starting a walking club. Trainees learn how to lead, motivate and recruit members. Our Keep Moving leaders return to their own communities with the knowledge, enthusiasm and skills needed to lead fellow seniors in forming a walking club of their own. To date, our trainees have formed over 161 clubs across the state, each with their own unique identities.
Some clubs are newly formed and just getting off the ground while others, such as the Morning Glory Walkers of East Longmeadow, have been hoofing around together for over 20 years! Click here for a list of Massachusetts Keep Moving walking clubs.
Participating in a club rewards the body and soul, but organized walks can also be used to raise awareness, promote a cause or honor someone special. This past June, that is exactly what happened when the Office of Healthy Aging and Disability (HADU) held a regional walk at Castle Island in memory of our late director of the Keep Moving Program, Jan Marble.
Over 400 active, energetic and engaged seniors from all over the state joined HADU and Jan's family and friends in the celebration and memory of Jan's legacy. We want to thank the many people, groups and organizations that joined us that day to remember and honor Jan. Without the help of all those who attended, this great gathering of engaged seniors would not have been possible.
Learn more about the Keep Moving Program. If you're interested in joining or starting a walking club in your community, contact us for more information.

dapd, Martin Oeser, Associated Press
TOKYO — The world's leading economies on Sunday urgently discussed the stability of financial markets after a historic U.S. credit downgrade rattled investors already worried about European debt crises.
Deputies from the Group of 20 advanced and emerging economies talked by telephone Sunday about proposals to minimize market shocks, South Korea's central bank said. And the financial ministers from the Group of Seven economies planned talks before Asian markets open Monday.
In addition, there is market speculation that the European Central Bank's governing council will hold an unscheduled conference call later Sunday to discuss the deepening crisis in the eurozone, including the purchase of Italian government bonds on Monday.
The countries are concerned Standard & Poor's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating late Friday will shake global markets. In a sign of the fallout, Middle East markets tumbled Sunday on the first day of business after the downgrade.
Kyodo News agency reported Sunday that G-7 deputy finance ministers had agreed on a conference call among the higher-level ministers, who are likely to discuss the U.S. downgrade as well as the eurozone sovereign debt concerns.
Japan's Senior Vice Finance Minister Fumihiko Igarashi hinted Sunday that Tokyo would intervene again in the currency market if excessive fluctuations continue. It acted Thursday to weaken the yen and protect Japan's recovery from an earthquake and tsunami in March.
"It's not over yet. We will act again if we see speculative moves," Igarashi said on a talk show Sunday on public broadcaster NHK, referring to a possibility for more rounds of yen-selling intervention.
The Bank of Korea, South Korea's central bank, said in a statement Sunday that deputy officials from the Group of 20 advanced and emerging economies talked by phone and that G-20 officials plan to continue to strengthen policy coordination to pursue a common response. South Korea is a G-20 member.
The statement, issued after a meeting of South Korean finance officials, also said the S&P downgrade had not changed South Korea's confidence regarding U.S. Treasurys.
"There will be no sudden change in our foreign reserve management policy," Choi Jong-ku, South Korea's deputy finance minister for international affairs, told The Associated Press. South Korea is the world's seventh-largest holder of foreign currency reserves overall.
"There is no alternative," Choi added. "We still cannot find any assets as safe as U.S. Treasury bonds and as liquid as U.S. Treasury bonds."
Choi, who participated in the G-20 conference call, declined to say what was discussed or comment on whether the group was considering releasing a statement before Asian markets open.
China, the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt, has yet to comment on the downgrade.
However, in an editorial Sunday, the ruling Communist Party's flagship People's Daily newspaper called it a "warning bell" for countries like China whose economies are heavily reliant on exports.
"Regardless of whether they are Asian countries that export manufactured goods or Latin America, the Middle East and Russia that rely on exports of natural resources, all now face the threat of seeing their holdings of U.S. debt decline in value and deteriorate in liquidity," the paper said.
Credit rating agency S&P said it would strip the U.S. of its sterling AAA credit rating for the first time and move it down one notch, to AA+.
"Our initial sense is that the S&P decision will do nothing to calm jangled nerves at the beginning of the week," Russell Jones, of Australia's Westpac Institutional Bank, wrote in a report Sunday. "Treasury yields are initially likely to move higher, perhaps sharply so, and risk assets will also suffer further losses."

N-tuple features for optical character recognition have received only scattered attention since the 1960s. Our main purpose is to show that advances in computer technology and computer science compel renewed interest. N-tuple features are useful for printed character classification because they indicate the presence or absence of a given rigid configuration of n black and white pixels in a pattern. Desirable n-tuples fit each pattern of a specified (positive) training set of characters in at least p different shift positions, and fail to fit each pattern of a specified (negative) training set by at least n-q pixels in each shift position. We prove that the problem of finding a distinguishing n-tuple is NP-complete, by examining a natural subproblem with binary strings called the missing configuration problem. The NP-completeness result notwithstanding, distinguishing n-tuples are found automatically in a few seconds on contemporary workstations. We exhibit a practical search algorithm for generating, from a small training set, a collection of n-tuples with low class-conditional correlation and with specified design parameters n, p, and q. The generator, which is available on the Internet, is empirically shown to be effective through a comparison with a benchmark generator. We show experimentally that the design parameters provide a useful tradeoff between distinguishing power and generation time, and also between the conditional probabilities for the positive and negative classes. We explore the feature probabilities obtainable for various dichotomies, and show that the design parameters control the feature probabilities

It's an insane spectacle that needs to be seen at least once, if not multiple times. First-timers should be warned to stay away from the pit unless they know the drill—make sure to wear your crappiest clothes and prepare for it to rain all sorts of fake nasty and to take in a stage show that is honestly second only to Alice Cooper's live theatrics of yore. Yeah, it's inappropriate for children, not for the faint of heart, and absolutely gross. But it's awesomely gross. With Kingdom of Sorrow, Toxic Holocaust. All ages.
