CO633 is booked 13/20 and I am 7 on the list. I wonder if I will be the victim of CO's TOD scheme. :-:

I knew those random Amtrak points I've slowly been accruing for five years now would come in handy one day. I just booked myself a free ticket from NYC back to Washington DC next Sunday afternoon. My partner is going to be in New York for work part of this week, and talked me into changing my ticket Friday to meet him there, instead of coming back to DC. It's going to be a nice, inexpensive weekend in NYC, considering my flight there is covered by work, his flight there and Amtrak home is covered by his work, and my Amtrak ticket home is free. It will also give us a chance to use up a couple of the Hilton free night certificates earned in promos this year, since several of those are expiring in early 2011.

I disagree with this advice. I guess it depends on how active you want to be, but to me a tight-fitting wicking under-layer is key if you're going to be doing anything other than standing in one place. Anything else tends to ride up in strange places.

I guess I did the opposite growing up - wore long underwear (which was often brightly colored and striped) as pajamas!

Forgive me B
x for I have 'd.
Just booked three WN segments for later this month.
There's nothing sadder than getting to Q4 when project travel budgets are almost exhausted and finding that WN can do for $250 what any other carrier wants $400 to do.

I took 2 cans of Bloody Mary mix from the JFK RCC last time I was there. I liked that they had the "mini" sized cans of a bunch of different things (cranberry juice, etc.) I do like the spicy tomato but this is a good size because if I drink an entire standard can, I can practically feel myself going into hypertension from all the sodium...
LOL! Me too!!!!

I have a new favorite Christmas song; Coldplay's "Christmas Lights"
It's a beautiful song (as most of theirs are)
I did not realize that "Another Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg was a true recollection. It was a sweet story; the lady he wrote it for kept mum until after his passing.
Thank you, AOL writer, for tidbits about various Christmas songs and revisiting Snoopy at peace with the Red Baron (Snoopy's Christmas by the Royal Guardsmen)
