When you travel, be sure to have your credit card balances paid up so you can do whatever is necessary to get home.

I have 2 friends who were in DC on 9-11. One of them was able to find a rental car and drive back to Iowa. The other friend wasn't quite so lucky. All the rental cars were gone when he tried to rent. He ended up buying a car, using his American Express card, in order to get out of there and home to his family in Iowa.

Yeows! Think I would check into a bus ticket. Maybe they were sold out too.

Our credit card balances are paid in full every month. No way do we incur any of that high priced interest. My consultant insists. ;^)

Hi! Back from morning errands. We had to go pick up my granddaughter's flower girl dress for the wedding. It is quite fancy, with beaded trim and embroidery.

Hubby has gone to get a hair cut, and I am checking the news for a few minutes.
