The bumping thing was a worry for me on our trip. We were late checking in for our connections due to delays, plus 6 of us so the worry was there -- nm - Beaker Apr 11, 08:36 4
- We're going direct from Moncton to Orlando so the connection headache is gone altogether. -- nm - Shaun Apr 11, 08:43 2
  - nice, we did that last time. Probably will next time after the trouble we had catching connectors - Beaker Apr 11, 08:46 1

  - yeah, we have the existing on most of our windows but they've slowly been breaking down, cords breaking, etc. We used to take them to get restrung - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Apr 11, 09:02
  - I'm really interested in keeping the sun out as it roasts my bedroom in the afternoon. I'd like to avoid putting tinfoil on my windows again. -- nm - Krusty Apr 11, 08:38 5
    - thermal works great for this too. people think of it as keeping out the cold, but it also keeps out the heat. - Andie Apr 11, 09:21 1
      - I was hoping you'd reply with this. Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Apr 11, 09:25
    - but the shades won't keep out the mind control rays the way the foil will -- nm - decline Apr 11, 08:40 1
      - They absorb the rays so I can better understand them. -- nm - Krusty Apr 11, 08:48
