7/26 Expressions

My daughter and husband are going to Orlando tomorrow. The one little nagging expense bugs me - the air fare - even though they are flying round trip for around $130 each - all these little add-ons equate to a large percentage. I am thinking their fare was advertised at $99 - with that little asterisk - with those airport security, and other misc. tag-ons were talking about a 30% plus-up on a low cost fare. Now, they are trying to decide if they can get by with one large check in and two carry-ons so they don't have to fork out more for that privilege. I will be taking and dropping them off at the airport too. On a short business trip $7/$9 per day doesn't seem like much - for a week out one's own frugal pocket - it starts to add up. On a good note, our BP claim has been assigned to an adjuster - now, if he'd only call with good news. My husband and daughter took her unwanted sports equipment to "Play it again Sports" and came back with a new pair of gym shorts and a pack of tennis balls. In the same complex is Aldi - they stopped and got a few fresh produce goodies - .99 strawberries, blueberries and $2.99 for a larger watermelon. I don't want to jinx the stock market - but it seems to be doing better lately too :) Oh, and we paid another large chunk toward the HELOC.
