Oh meangya, this is bugging me. Ok, I have this friend named Rebecca, well shes not really reliable when it comes to her planning events (concerts, trips, etc) so when she has a new plan or whatever, me and my other friends just kinda go along with it because we know its gonna fall through. Well, lately shes had a plan to go on a cruise next spring. I told her Id go (because I dont see it happening..) and she asked if my mother would wanna go because we need an adult for some stupid thing I forget. Well, shes invited her other friend Melissa, who lives all the way in friggan Tennessee. So meangya, she refused to take a plane, and I suggested a train so itll be faster. So now all of a sudden my MOTHER is driving (from NH.. uhh ok..) and picking up this Melissa chick on the way!! WTF.. me and Kim seriously think its because Rebecca wants a ride there and since I said my mom would go (never asked her.. itd be a waste of time) she automatically assumes she'll drive the 25+ hrs there! My mother is not a taxi!! Yah, shes driving me to NYC, but shes driving ME, not random people from out of state, but MEE. I shouldnt really care about this because like I said, I see no cruise with her in a the near future, but still. And like, whenever we used to go to concerts she GET the tickets, but of course she'd need the ride. The only reason why she'd come with us is because I was going to-- but we didnt even have the same seats!! And, as soon as she saw her other friends it was like BYE BYE CRYSTAL AND AMANDA! Shes one of those drop a friend as soon as she sees something better person (she ditched everyone when she got a bf, but now that shes single, shes not-- thats so annoying) and its really annoying. Uhh... anyways, I dont know what the whole point of this thread is..but seriously my mother wouldnt drive to FLA for her!! Its one thing if my MOM wants to go.. but ugh. Take a Greyhound, damnit.

What a moocher. Maybe you oughta give her some Greyhound brochures.

OHMYGOD Crystal THAT IS so my Friend Heather shes a TOTAL Moocher we went to Hawaii together and Met Boyzllmen (through the fan club thingie) BUT she REFUSED to go unless I PAID for the trip
same went for California only the thing with California was I WAS already going to visit my Aunt and SHE DECIDED she wanted to go BUT SHE REFUSED to pay for it UGHHHHHHHH why are people like that?????

ug.. yea, i got a friend like that. You need to tell her up front, that your mom's not a taxi. . . and if she gets an attitude, say "fine" and charge her the same amount that Greyhound would + gas money + car expenses (ie.. oil it takes to get there, etc)... if she's got half a brain, she'll take hte hint, or you'll mom will at least get a profit

o0o0o Good idea. Thanks. I know I wont even have to tell her this though, b/c like I said.. she cant keep her plans. But yah, if we were going-- screw the chick in TN!! Id take a train.:)

Moochers totally suck they need to get their own damn jobs and their own damn money

Well, I told her lastnight that my mom wouldnt drive, and she didnt mind. So now, we're taking a Greyhound. She has EVERYTHING planned out....

&BECCA&: i got the times and stuff and FORGOT transportation from orlando to miami for the cruise.. so its gonna be like 65-70 more.. ?? lol

At Shotz: yupps
*BECCA*: dont type n mess me up let me tell u when im done kk
At Shotz: lolokok
~BECCA~: head to Boston (700 Atlantic Ave, 2 S Sta Trans Ctr, Boston MA)at 1:30pm. We have to be there atleast an HOUR before we leave to pick-up our ticketsWe Depart Greyhound Boston at 4pm March 21st 2004
We Arrive Greyhound Knoxville (100 E Magnolia Ave, Knoxville TN) at 5:35pm March 22nd 2004 (1d1h35m)

We Depart Greyhound Knoxville 7:15pm March 22nd 2004
We Arrive Greyhound Orlando (555 N John young Pkwy, Orlando FL) at 4:20pm March 23rd 2004 (21h5m)

We can check InTo the hotel anytime after 4pm, which is perfect. We're staying at the hotel March 23rd till March 27th. We have to be out by 11am. We can either go to a park or a store or out to eat. The Cruises usually leave at 4pm, and from Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. We'd be gone for 7 days. The cruise boat has a MALL in it.. lol How sweet is that? kk neways, this is how we're getting home:

Depart Greyhound Orlando 8:30pm April 4th 2004
Arrive Greyhound Knoxville 11:10am April 5th 2004 (14h4m)


Depart Greyhound Orlando 12:01 am (yesss the cruise arrives at the Port at 7pm and we'll get to Greyhound at like 11:30pm) and we'll arrive in Knoxville at 5:30pm..
Depart Knoxville Greyhound at 7:30pm and get back to Boston at 4:20pm.. and were going to obviously going to need sum1 there to pick us up.. lol
The costs for the busses are $236.00 each roundtrip from Boston to Knoxville to Orlando. It only cost $118.00 each roundtrip from Knoxville to Orlando. :-) Good News For Melissa

The Hotels are $267.00 each, $533.00 per room, 2 people per room. I only need $67.00 to book the rooms from each person and we pay the additional $200.00 each when we get there. Bring $100.00 for food while were at Florida. I dont know how much It will be for 3 days, but JUST to be safe, for 3 meals, Id bring $100- the taxes are killer compared to Tax Free New Hampshire! Bring $150.00 for the parks. If it rains and we dont go then you just get more spending money- no hopper passes unless crystal's are still good. Save $650.00 for the cruise. I found one online last night for $335.00 for 7 days to the Caribbean and if you book online you get $100.00 back- so Im gonna be lookin for good deals when it comes time for us to book a cruise.. and I will mail the leftover money BACK to you in a check from my account (im going to put ALL the money in my bank account and use my Visa/Debit card to pay for the cruise and the down payment on the hotel rooms). You're also goin to need $50.00 for tips for the cruise.. They have a list of the prices that youre supposed to tip each person and its like $7.00 a day. Unless I can find an ALL-INCLUSIVE package any island activities will NOT be included in the price. Food and Soda/Water is included in the price but drinks arent. You can save whatever you want for spending money but Id suggest before we leave going to the bank and change them for travelers checks.

IMPORTANT DATE: I NEED THE MONEY BY JANUARY 7TH 2004 in order to get the money in my account and let it clear and go into my account so I can order the tickets a few days after that. Me and Crystal can go to the Plaistow or Kingston Library or My House- which is easier, and we can go online and place the orders and I can call Melissa and we can all talk about where we want to go so we all agree :-) Kk So start saving its gonna be FuNn 13 months and 4 days till we leave!! and ONLY 10 months and 18 days to save the money.. which is:
$1150 For Me, Crystal, Crystal's Mom and Erica is she comes
$1032 For Melissa and friend lol

*BECCA*: kk done
*BECCA*: n theres the taxi from the hotel to the orlando bus station and bus to the miami bus station and a taxi to the port.. which is 60 for the bus and them id say 10$ for teh taxis both ways



LOl... if shes REALLY serious about this cruise, then me and Kim will be surprised.. and of course Ill have to save $$.
