Promotion with the new Andaz hotels - 5K points and $50 credit?

That should satiate my various -coholisms (al and point) during the trip. :cool:

Fin du Monde.

I love it, after two you start to know why they named it that.

Night all! Cat wants to play... :)

No - walk from the nearest (Radisson) hotel. Sadly Radisson wasn't offering 5k BD miles, so I'm in the Days Inn.

sounds like it may soon be Lights Out for you :D

No memo, but plenty of rumors swirling around in certain circles. ;)

Sounds like there was a change in status recently, though. ^

Clearly I'm in the wrong circles. ;)

I think I may have broken my :rolleyes: slipping on a patch of ice.

If any of the IAH'ers are looking for a hotel for the BD whoring, there is a brand new HoJo by IAH on Greens road.

If I didn't have another place to stay, I would have actually slept in the night and not felt disgusting.

Me, too. Though my "mixer" is usually a couple ice cubes and a slice of lime. :p

There are plenty of ways to drink clear liquors that don't wrap around pear flavored vodka.

For all the vodka lovers out there, Hanger One in its multiple flavors is delicious. You can even do tastings at the Hanger One distillery on the old Alameda base :)

It's good to be back. Night Box!

Hello Box. I'm up waaaay too early. Of course it didn't help that I crashed about abut 9:30 last night. I must have been more tired than I thought. I did end up getting about six straight hours of sleep though, which feels good.

Anyone around?

(aside from the one Michelob entry - whiskey tango?)

I've had Local 2. It's far too sweet for me. I diasagree with the description in the article. All I tasted was the sweetness, there was no finish.

Buenos días, Box.:-:

Howdy Box

I need a few more UA trips in March and this may throw a serious kink into those plans. :mad:

e-Concour?
That's our new system and it's trying it's best too book me on multiple carrier itineraries. Fortunately it trying to route me via *A where I have no status and would have to pay baggage fees. We were told to use our discretion when it comes to paying airline profit center fees. and CO\*G flights are usually close enough to the lower multi-carrier ones. I'll abuse the system until wrist slap ensues

I had to make a visit to one of those friendly federal places yesterday.
Guy was screaming demands as to where a letter was.
Do you have a tracking number?
Hell no, it was mailed from Wilson, that only 45 miles away on Jan 28th, I have to have it
And you don't have a tracking number?
WTH is a tracking number?
It's the only way we can tell you where your letter is
You mean nobody in this GD system can tell me where that letter is
if you have a tracking number we can
+ lines needed for an additional 4 minutes of :rolleyes:

My mother gave me a set of five flavored minis for Christmas. My choices were pear, vanilla, lemon, grapefruit, and raspberry. Fiancee had the raspberry.

Must be a really Big stocking to get 5 Minis in, am guessing the were hung in the garage

I didn't do much the last 2 years, but in the past my stockings have been big enough to hold 20+ minis. :eek:
