I will not make it for this time. I'm sorry. I have work to do. I have a job now. I just can't. Maybe next time.

NB as of 3/25/13: Schedule under revision--we are likely moving the floatplane/bear-viewing trip to Wednesday morning, so use caution if you were planning to arrive later in the day on Wednesday (or Thursday morning) and had planned to only miss the boat charter. Updates in the next couple of days.

*Bump*

I was hoping with AS adding a third BOS-SEA that it would open up some saver seats to get to the DO but i guess not.

I do have a few things to announce, but I'm on the road for the next couple of days. Bump the thread on Friday if I forget.

8K AGR points each way BOS-PHL (coach is fine; Amtrak coach has better pitch than AS F). Can you transfer anything to AGR to get 8K points?

Also $120rt if you'd rather...

The DL itinerary JFK-SEA-ANC and return is available for low awards (was, anyway) and the long legs have the Business Elite configuration. ^

What makes it even tougher is i need to connect to the Tuesday evening Era flight. DL flight via JFK is now 65K RT so is not saver. Ill have to play around with the mix and match of airlines.

Kodiak

If you need any help from a local, let me know. I do have a large monster van that seats 10. And plenty of surfboards and boogies (and possibly a wetsuit or two) to lend, if anybody wants to check out the surf. And a kayak. And a scrappy sailboat.

It'd be great to see some FTers here in Kodiak!

Here's a couple of music videos to get you pumped:

w00t w00t! I had totally forgotten we had a local there! I should have stopped by and said hi when I was in ADQ a couple of weeks ago on a scoping-out mission.

I've got some catch-up to do with several things but I'll be in touch with you one of these days soon.

+1

Beck on a board? Get a big one.

How many coolers needed if he catches a 350 pound halibut? This video of Kodiak longlining (whatever that is) showed up when I was looking at Eli's stuff.
