Surfers Ride Wave for 45 Minutes in Alaska

For those that have been to Alaska, this is along the Turnagin Arm on Highway 1 where during the day it's just mud. When the tide comes in just right, you can surf it.

Let's try again for next week.
You do realize that if you didn't need to go there, BOS would get no snow all winter.

IIRC it mostly focused on members of the Canadian and Russian women's curling teams who are very nice to look at, which is why ...

I've done that about 6-7 times. Luckily its been paid Biz Elite. If there's one place where you may not clear an upgrade on DL, those are the routes. I've even heard of DL Diamonds not clearing that upgrade .

Great Comparison!

I know of a rink in SE WI between MKE and ORD. My uncle is member of a curling club; he's really in to it and most of his travel is related to curling bonspiels.

Could we earn SPG points?

Yeah, need to work on that.

On the other hand, I need to continue work on my international FM.

I have a feeling this year I'll get some more variety in my Domestic *A flying as I don't think I will be able to get much *A out of work this year. On the other hand I have some neat lines courtesy of Skyteam.
