That's twelve-letter territory for her.

Mrs. MBM3 raised an eyebrow at the Dash 8 but quickly turned to a smile when I reminded her about the extra time we saved on the direct flight from LIH - OGG.

Of course I will be at the reception Friday night. I'm leaving SFO on the 6am flight to connect thru IAH to arrive in AUS at around 2pm. I'm doing the employee standby thing but the flights look good.

I have a feeling that I will skip Juan in a Million since I will hopefully be drunk and stuffed Friday night. Plus I signed up for the Capitol Tour at 9:30am, then I'm touring Live Oaks Brewery because one can not have enough alcohol during the weekend and then on to Serrano's for dinner and on Sunday I'm stuffing more BBQ into my body at Salt Lick and flying home at around 5pm.

The HA 717s are fun, as are the WP Dash 8s.

Saving time and money always makes women smile.

I've heard something to the effect of "I'm fine at cruise; it's takeoff and landing that rattle me."

I like your fiancee. She and I agree on this! :D:D When I hear the flaps creaking and the landing gear drop, I do a little mind flip!

Whereas I find comfort in hearing flap changes and gear drops. Ensures that they're still there and working. :o

I don't know; maybe it's because I have some small amount of cockpit experience...but when I hear the wing being configured I don't get bothered at all, and when I hear the gear drop I tell myself "Five-mile final; I can pee soon."
