Good Morning Box.

Cold has knocked me for a loop. Totally tired and I just want to crawl back to bed but I have to do the school run and then the dog park. I plan on spending the rest of the day sleeping, I hope.

Chicken soup=Jewish Pennicillin

Feel better :(

Wants to comp. a future stay at the hotel, which is very tempting, but I don't want to go near the hotel. I'll keep it in my back pocket for the wedding and maybe I'll send the in-laws down there. :cool:

Negotiate for massive amounts of points that will get you equivalent free nights anywhere in the Hilton system instead. That's what I'd do.

If you want company, I could check and see if I can take 3/9 off and join ya. Sounds like fun :D

Not quite, but bad enough for me to "hold it" for 3 hours until I came home

non casino property, which may be a welcome thing for a retreat from the :rolleyes: of las vegas

Vdara was great, but if traveling with kids, probably not so much, as I believe all rooms are suites with just a king bed. There is a sleeper sofa, but they might prefer a real bed if everyone is sharing a room.

Aria, the casino resort in CityCenter, looks incredible as well. Rooms there are equally nice and the public facilities in that properties are gorgeous.

Oh, and did I mention the smell? All public interior spaces in CityCenter have a scent piped through the HVAC system, and it's just a little different in each building. But no matter where you go, everything not only looks wonderful, but it smells very fresh and clean, without being obnoxious.

So, my corporate event on 3/11 goes to 7:30 (the last 3 hours are a wine tasting). I will need to get back to midtown before meeting anyone caring to come into NYC. I arrive at EWR on 3/9 at 5:30 and can meet earlier if that works better for folks. I was told today that my corporate event will be a drink-fest! :cool:^:-:

That looks like it might be the week that I start the job. If it isn't, I'll come up for a night of shenanigans.

I am off the night of March 11th and up for a night of shenanigans.

Saw this on cnn:


"But a new low may just have been reached for weary road warriors: The overwhelmingly smelly passenger.

A man on Jazz Air, a regional airline in Canada that also serves U.S. cities, was reportedly kicked off a plane earlier this month because of his strong body odor."

BTW,

sfogate - glad you are feeling better; hope you feel fully better soon!

adelauro - congrats on new job

After using BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Android, I will say that BlackBerry Enterprise Server does the OTA e-mail, contact, calendar, and to-do list better than anything else (can't speak for the new Palm as I've never even seen one in real life, except on the shelf in a store). It just works, and flawlessly most of the time. Can't say the same about the others. But beyond that, BlackBerry falls behind in many areas. BlackBerry OS 5 is still a huge improvement in many ways. I still prefer Android for most uses, although I still miss the calendar, contact, and e-mail systems on my old BlackBerry. Google's stuff just isn't nearly as good.

Mr. Stinky was on a bkk-del flight of ours - in C. Thankfully the stink left after we took off.

Unfortunately for Mr. stinks - he thought he needed to go through customs first - no one else felt the same. ^

Blech.

I've encountered several passengers I wish had been kicked off for stinking. Including the guy next to me on my ORD-IAH flight Sunday night who smelled like what was in belynch's tub and was so massively obese he didn't fit properly in his seat. In F. Yep, he was hanging over the armrest into my space in a first class seat. The most obnoxious thing was he couldn't get to the volume controls on his seat without standing up, which meant his smelly posterior was in my face when he was adjusting the volume for the IFE, which he did rather often. He also came close to knocking his drink off the center console each time he did this.

That must have been the same person I was sitting next to last week until I got moved to the pointy end. But the damage was done. The smell was stuck in my nose and I had to do a major nose pick in the lav to clear it all out as it was driving me crazy.

However MR PTY to MEX was nice for a southernmost trip. I bought it just for that.
:-:

I USED to fly a lot for work....now it's just not happening as much anymore but I've been earning Plat for 9 years so I don't know any other way.

Because my industry is in the $hitter and our travel's been cut back, it's MR's for me.
