There is not enough to describe my thoughts about driving from DC to Boston with two children. That's nearly seven hours, up I-95 about half of the way (assuming you do the sensible thing and take the Tappan Zee and 287 around NYC).

WN and B6 fly BWI-BOS. There is no need to torture yourself in the car.

The LM SF is a super-nice hotel and well worth staying in. The LM Dallas North is also pleasant and surprisingly inexpensive. There is one now in Philadelphia; I haven't stayed there, but I think jrzyshawn has.

As a brand it is less overtly hip than the W, but it is a step up from a Westin.

Being a parent involves constantly saying things you thought you would never say. I guess owning a dog is the same way.

You & me both! Progressing through the interview process at a couple places so hopefully I'm moving in the right direction.

On a good news/bad news front I got my new toilet tonight and planned on having my plumber do this with the new faucet and redo the sad valves. It appears he has relocated to Ohio It took me forever to find a good and affordable plumber now I'm back to square one

UDU is . Half the time I get upgraded, things seems to get stuck and the Economy seat map is still shown. I have a seat assignment in a front cabin, the class of service column is blank and I can't see the correct seat map. Do I just have bad luck or do other UA flyers see this often?
