I bought bargain basement W. This is a personal trip

Oh sweet, thanks. As someone else mentioned, you can't use a CR-1 outside of Region 1. Sounds like I can save the SWU and zonk out in E+ for a few hours.

Excellent. Hopefully the LFML trick for Grilled Chicken works on this route (I've only ever tried it on domestic).
