Happy Friday folks
Off on holiday now and buying a new car this weekend, hopefully.
Think I might go for a convertible sports type to make myself more exotic looking and attractive during my mid life crisis (50 soon!).....

I suggest one for each foot still wouldn't crack it!! 
And think about the agonies of getting in and out, and the lack of space for <ahem> suspension testing*
And travelling HBO everywhere!
* Although I did manage it in my Austin Healey Sprite, but that was a lonngggggg time ago.

Happy Friday from Terminal 7 at Kennedy. I'm betraying OW this week and flying to SFO on United before they leave the place for good in October. Bought a cheap economy ticket to MRY (probably good hidden city ticket there if I'd wanted to end at SFO) for about $300. At checkin bought the upgrade for $299 - not a bad deal for their transcon premium service and very welcome for a 6am flight.
Returning to the OW fold with US back from Santa Barbara, via Phoenix with a princely 270TP (cashing in a credit from last year's omnishambles of a trip to the Grand Canyon so it feels like it's free).
United p.s. is nice enough but won't be worth trekking over to EWR for. I hope BA do something with the space and sort out Galleries First.

Every summer I go camping for a few days with a group of friends.
However today I find out that the girl responsible for arranging everything seems to have accidentally made us a non-refundable reservation onto a nudist camp site ... sigh

At least you didn't have to pretend to be a plumber like I did once - I know nothing about plumbing and had all sorts of issues with back flow!
