Rare h20skibum Posted January 18 #113176 Share Posted January 18 3 minutes ago, George C said: When I was stationed in Germany in 1970 , my room was next to the army pub , drinks were 30 cents but at happy hour they were 15 cents, so when happy hour was going to end I would order 5 drinks for a grand total of 75 cents. Yeah, I was selling beers for $0.15 to $0.25, and the 16 oz Pepsi for $0.20. Everything at 100% of my cost. Next I will be saying “Ah, the good old days!” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my favorite are "Moving Out", "Big Shot", "Goodnight Saigon", "Only the Good Die Young". I guess 70's & early 80's Billy.

I always get ferklempt when I hear "the NY Times, the Daily News...... Small tidbit. Jack was once on the cover of the Daily News. No, he didn't kill anyone. His picture was taken as he was walking through a major NYC snowstorm looking all bundled up and shivering. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking through the package I bought, and I thought it said you would get two premium desserts per sailing, but on further inspection, it is two per day. Oh my, I hope these don’t have any calories, or I may be in trouble. One can easily see that these have very few calories.😀 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted January 18 #113183 Share Posted January 18 Sorry to ask what might be another dumb NYC question... I'm booking flights and the intention was to fly in to Newark and stay there since we are cruising out of Cape Liberty but now that plan has changed and I want to stay in Midtown. Would I be better off flying into JFK and flying out EWR after the cruise or should I stick with EWR both legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the closest airports to Manhattan, in order, are LGA then JFK then EWR. We flew in and out of LaGuardia. Getting into Manhattan was easy by taxi and LGA is very nice now after the update. Not sure that it's worth changing from EWR though if you'll pay a big price increase to use one of the other airports. If you've got an extra $200 per person to spare, consider taking a helicopter from either JFK or EWR into Manhattan. Sort of like booking a helicopter tour excursion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, there wouldn't be any charge since I booked with points and can cancel a rebook without penalty. Unfortunately LGA isn't an option. I'm flying JetBlue and it's either EWR or JFK. Very cool helicopter idea, I might even do it if was alone. DW would scratch my eyes out if I tried to get onboard that little thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he has to save up for some wheels, but until then we don’t have to drive him to all of his practices. Congrats to Owen. I don’t know what kind of car it is, but it looks nice and plenty big for all his sports equipment.
