Vouched.

I will do my best to save some of the bubbly for your late arrival at the Airport HGI. However, that stuff tends to disappear when cfischer is around. He cannot at all be trusted with it.

Nope.

I think that I must consider ordering three bottles instead of the two that I was planning.

Hmmmm. Decisions, decisions.

As for Old Mesilla, whenever I get back to the area, I usually make a pit stop at St Clair Winery in Old Mesilla just to stock up on their bottled, pre-made Mimosas.

We vote for Old Mesilla on Saturday and the cable car on Sunday.
Looks like this is the plan ^

Are we all set for the Friday night at the airport HGI? Let's hope Delta is getting us in on time

What kind of transportation should we get? How many cars do we need? Designated drivers? I have a free Emerald Club rental day which will expire if I don't use it and they also allow unlimited authorized drivers these days.

Since breakfast is free (I assume we have enough HH Gold/Dia) at the HGI I suppose we can meet there Saturday morning?

All set. Whatever DL does, we will have a couple of bottles of bubbly to start us off on the weekend. Let's remember that DL is the only major airline that is operating smoothly right now so our only wild card is, as usual, the weather.

I have some sort of coupon also and have a full sized National car reserved from Friday evening thru Monday lunchtime for $112 all in. If your deal for the three day rental is better, we'll go with yours. Right now it appears that you, ColPuck, Franny, and I are at the HGI and one car should do most of the way for us. If jfe is also driving over on Saturday, we can have three in each car and everyone can spread out.

Unless someone else declares in, that's the plan.

Flight was slightly delayed on DL Friday, but not too bad

I am flying US, I haven't been to ELP since 2002. I don't normally get breakfast, but I'll pick up two coupons at the desk instead of the 750p.

I am booked for '2' so I should get 2 coupons. No need to skip the 750 points ... unless of course JFE is coming to join us then we might need as many extra coupons as we can get.

I can get a couple of coupons to work: Saturday 10 a.m. through Monday 11 a.m. National w/ unlimited drivers. $57 a/i for a midsize car.
