PHL is worth the drive if for nothing else the fares. I think even though I'm not going to CUN, I may have convinced my mother to PHL-IAH-CUN instead of ex-EWR. :eek:

I took BoltBus again this trip. The fares vary, maxing out at $15. This week I got my r/t run for $20 which isn't bad. And there is a $9-11.65 r/t train from 30th Street Station to PHL that you also have to buy. But given the time (and I have it this weekend) the savings are significant, even with the bus/train fees. I took MegaBus last weekend one way and the bus was OK but the WiFi didn't work on my bus so that sucked. I'm also a member of the BoltBus frequent rider program now. I have no idea what that gets me, but I think I might start lobbying TalkBoard for a dedicated forum soon. :D I just booked two one way tickets from NYC to Phila on BoltBus 02/05/09. $8 total for two people ($1 for me and $7 for the S/O) so now an overnight in PHL is a must. even with all this I am still saving about $300.

I was thinking a pom champagne cocktail with fresh pomegranite seeds. I just haven't brought myself to do it and the conversation is over so now I have no excuse ;) The breakfast cigar was quite eye opening though!

So close, yet so far. I'll just have to take my pile o' drink certs and 14F and do the best I can. :D

*Results not typical. Your EUA results as a OnePass Platinum Elite may not come anywhere close to the upgrade rate awesomeness experienced by ssullivan. Upgrade rate is severely reduced by the number of transcon, IAH-EWR, EWR-CLE, and IAH-CLE flights flown. Continental Airlines is not responsible if you, as a OnePass Platinum Elite, sit in coach more than 50% of the time. Side effects of OnePass Platinum Elite membership may include obsessive checking of A, D, and R inventory with the KVS Tool, strategic scheduling of flights to slightly more expensive or less convenient flights to increase odds of an upgrade, religiously avoiding 735s when possible (except on routes where it's the only mainline option), excessive consumption of alcohol, obsession with checking in at exactly 24 hours before the flight if the EUA e-mail has not been received before OLCI commences, refusal to book flights where the good exit row seats are already taken, and uncontrollable urges to check the PDA Info website every five minutes starting two days before your flight in order to determine the odds of your upgrade actually clearing. Continental Airlines, nor the OnePass program, is not liable for these side effects, nor for any headaches, increased consumption of alcohol or cigarettes, insomnia, divorces, miscarriages, death, or other bad things that may happen as a result of achieving OnePass elite. Achieve OnePass Platinum elite at your own risk. This disclaimer has been approved by the PWP.

[RANT ON]
Allow me to vent, dear Boxers. I splurged on a weekend stay here at the Grand Wailea after being away from dear Mrs. MBM3 for much of the summer while I commuted to BUD for weeks at a time. Scored a wonderful upgrade to an Ocean View room with a grass lanai which was wonderful until......we came back from the Sunrise jaunt to the top of the volcano with its 02:30 departure from the hotel. Came back expecting a nice nap and promptly found out that they are doing renovations on the floor above and next door to our room and it sounded like a freakin construction site. After it happened again today I finally called a manager, which is something I really do not do. But at $375 a night, I want my money's worth and was really ticked that there was no mention of the renovations on the web site or at check-in. All the front desk said was "sorry" but the manager tried to make it better: First Offer: Free Cabana (nice try) Second Offer: Free Massages (very nice, but we just did the spa) Third Offer: Move Rooms (Mrs. MBM3 was inconvenienced enough) Fourth Offer: Free Night (ding ding we have a winner) We both love the property and the Spa is nothing short of spectacular, but I have never been so annoyed in any room. Hammering, sawing, drilling, tools dropping, and the like are not something I need or want to hear when trying to relax in paradise. Sure, you do not spend a heck of a lot of time in the room, but sometimes I just prefer to relax on the bed in the airco reading a book.... [RANT OFF] |
Does anyone else find The Girls Next Door on E! to be as stupid as I do?
