I recently setup Spamato in Thunderbird to help the spam issue.

I just learned that when a msg gets flagged as Spam, a sound clip from Monty Python with the Spam song is played. :D

Le sigh.

:( Hope you make connection...

You could also consider routing via Canadia. You can't actually have a Canadia connection for a domestic reward (cabotage), but you could "originate" in YYZ, and use Porter Air or WestJet to get up there. You can get all widebody lie-flat goodness with AVOD YYZ-YVR-HNL. ^

Sorry, my wife always makes fun of me by saying that when I'm waiting for some new thing I ordered to come in. :)

Possibly the best movie line ever:

You get NOTHING! You LOSE! Good day, Sir!

Interesting thought. @:-)

Maybe I should do that and tell her to deal with it because it's free. I would imagine that Hawaii seats are something that the search starts for at precisely 330 days from the return date?

The ANA Tool and I are sure to become really good friends...the CO.com search results suck.

Not only do I want it quickly, but I had it shipped to my hotel for this week. If it gets delayed then I've got other issues. But as long as it arrives there before Thursday night I'm fine. Shipping is overnight and it's supposed to be shipped today. However, the one thing that worries me is that the credit card transaction yesterday when I ordered it triggered a suspected fraud warning with Chase. Google e-mailed me that the charge was declined about 30 minutes after I placed the order, and I called Chase, who cleared that up. I then followed Google's directions for resubmitting the payment and I haven't heard anything since. So hopefully all is OK.

I'm not sure when Aero Canadia begins to release seats. Would she be opposed to a YVR stopover (also a possibility with said award)? :-:

If only there were broken-out stills of it so as to avoid the rule about animated GIF's.

I don't think she would oppose YVR, but all of the experts here have to remember that whatever I tell her has to make sense to her, which can be an uphill battle. She called a few minutes ago and I told her that CLT was always a good option, and she said no because she does not want to go south to go west. This is what I'm up against.

Shipping notice just arrived! Should be in my hands tomorrow afternoon. :D

Connecting on the West Coast means you have to go West to go South. :-:

Isn't the honeymoon planning supposed to be up to the groom? Tell her to let you plan the trip and ensure her that she will enjoy it when the time comes. :)

JFK-LAX/SFO-HNL would be nearly as good as Aero Canadia IMHO, if you could snag PS F for the first leg.

This. :-:

Granted, I abused my planning privileges extensively. :D
