They have moved beyond having a single, physical address (that's so 20th century). Just send all packages to the local farmer's market, addressed to "Iceman" and "Goose." They'll get there. :-:

So I've had one Victorinox case that was bad and the strap kept failing. The good part was that every time i'd send it in, they'd send me a new one.

My rollerboard and my other bag are both Victorinox and i have yet to have any issues. The rollerboard wears down, I send it in and they send me a new one.

Not at all. There are several decent stopping points with various good food. I was specifically speaking of the stretch of Interstate 10 between JCT and ELP. Or anything north of the Edwards Plateau getting up into LBB and AMA.

Not for me. I think that is a rather pleasant drive, personally. The one between Dallas and El Paso, however...there aren't enough to describe that drive.

Oh. My. That makes it even funnier. And so appropriate, given that you live in Aggieland.

IAH-BPT and IAH-SHV are extra boring, too.

Most of Interstate 10 falls into that category. But why drive IAH-BPT or IAH-SHV when you can do it in style on a luxurious Colgan Air Saab 340?

I think so, but this is minor in comparison to some other potential projects of the same variety. I once almost had to drive a passport to its owner...in MCO. In another case, I was nearly assigned a van to drive from the Shore to IAD to get some very high-value clients to a flight that had seats for them after one of the blizzards last year.

Haven't done IAH-BPT, but did do IAH-SHV (ERJ & SF3), IAH-MEM-SHV (CR2 & SF3), and HOU-DFW-GGG (AT7 & ERJ). The things one will do for lines.
