OVM, you gotta take Juju on some of these. They can be had for cheap, if you can deliver yourself to the dock.
I am glad I married a girl that's been to most of these before we got married. She can't be impressed anymore.
Cha-ching, penny saved.

Not at all.

Could not replace that time with the kids tho, last del was Feb 28th. Wife says I'm stubborn cause I'd rather stay home than work in a way I don't want to.

$380 CDN for full coverage + 2 mil liability, and only $220 for 250k cargo insurance...if the "new" carrier doesn't play nice...

Threw back a 300 mile load. Needed to sit on it until midday Monday.Best they could offer was extra $50 to warehouse it. Figured it would cost me that much in grocery's and play time for 3 days.

NOW I Have to wait for customs to clear the part ,then I have to wait for the ships engineer to come down and claim the part ONLY after carnival takes customs to breakfast.
This could take the whole morning!

You could be at a worst place ......let's hope it doesn't .

I like your "see-food-eat-it" diet.
I will be "touristing" in Texarkana in few hours myself.
