Having visited the Alamo and reading all the lists of people that died there, you really shouldn't have any problem detecting a few spooks. Hope you speak a few languages though because there was certainly a broad mix of all nationalities that met their demise within those walls.

That's always been one of those things I've wanted to do. Which of the TAPS members are you going with? And if you don't find any ghosts, you can at least go to the Alamo and keep an eye out for Pee-Wee's bike...I hear it's in the basement. Sweet!

Congratulations on your cash free vacation! Sounds a lot better than the "all credit" trip my girlfriend (now wife) and I went on a few years back! We bought a 7 day package for under $1,800 to go to the Bahamas for “Spring Break”. When we arrived at the hotel we realized we weren’t anywhere near the “cool” beaches and we needed to find a better place to stay. We were unable to get a refund on our hotel but we still went ahead and booked a week stay (at full price) at one of the nicer beach front hotels on the island. We were paying for two different hotel rooms the entire week! All told the trip racked up an additional $5,500 on my credit card. Ouch! Good look with the paranormal activity! That’s awesome!

Well, you might have a better chance of success than searching for good interest rate of return. The PRE-PAID though is a real plus - good on you. Searching for ghost?
